• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2012 Spyder RSS -- NEW tires installed. It was definitely time!

When I first got my Spyder the rear tire was extremely bald, the fronts appeared to be okay but they did look older.

I performed the rear wheel removal from the bike and replaced the rear tire with the Kuhmo a lot of people on here recommended. It has worked great so far.

I rode it this way all summer; one day I was doing a pre-trip tire pressure check and found this in the sidewall. Then I realized the front tires were actually the original tires from CanAm.

Videos of the bike on the lift and one of me trying to knock the bike off the lift... LOL

So then I went out in force into finding some replacements because I would not ride the bike once I seen what I seen... So I took some more advise from fellow riders and installed some new Kuhmos on the front as well. I was also able to try out my new marketplace find "Pitbull" motorcycle lift. I love it BTW!
