Pam, are you using the motorcycle or the car type? Or is there any difference in the two different types?
Thanks

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.

I have always used the motorcycle formula in my bikes, and when I ordered for the Spyder I instinctively ordered the same. After I installed it (and it works fine), it was brought to my attention by BajaRon that Ride On has one specifically for the Spyder. :banghead:
So, whenever I get new tires, I will get the Spyder formula. Not sure what the difference is, or if there is any. Like I said, the motorcycle formula is working just fine.

My misreading cost me a little extra $ for the spin balance on all 3 tires.

Think your right but being adverse to having anything movable inside my tires I feel the same...may never happen but don't want to be driving high speed and have my fronts start doing their own thing...:roflblack:

I just put Ride-on in my 2013 RSS this morning. I've had the Spyder in the shop twice in the last month trying to correct a bad vibration in the 60-65 mph range. So severe I could not read the small text on my instruments. After two wheel balances, a belt tension adjustment and a complete front end inspection, the vibration was almost gone, but not completely. I installed the auto formula and now the vibration is completely gone, except a very small twitch at 63 mph. All other speeds are silky smooth. The instructions do say to balance the wheels prior to installation, but I'm not sure what the motorcycle formula says. The only problem I had was trying to determine how much I had squeezed in because it sticks to the inside of the bottle obscuring the sight gauge.

My wheel weights are black as are my rims and brake dust. I don't even know they are there. :roflblack:

If they do have a product specific to the Can Am Spyder, it does not appear to be listed on the Ride On Website. They cover everything from bicycles, to cars, motorcycles, atv, trucks, farm and so forth.
As for prebalancing prior to adding the Ride On media. Reading the instructions per Ride On. Automotive tires are to be balanced prior to Ride On application. Motorcycle tires are not balanced prior to Ride On application.

If I want to add Ride-on to my Spyder what do people suggest.Remove the wheel weights or keep them on? :trike:

Quite a while ago when ride-on was first offered on this site there was a discussion concerning the wheel weights. There was no consensus, other than it doesn't hurt to leave them.

:agree: However, when getting new tires mounted I tell them not to put those ugly weights on my rims. They have even offered to put the Ride On in for me.:yes:
