• 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.

    Wrapped my 2021 RT Limited

    @ kbirdsong - the panels are individually wrapped and wrapping follows the shape of the panel so removing one shouldn’t be an issue. @ vito 1943 - it wasn’t cheap that’s for sure. I shopped around a bit but chose a wrapper with lots of experience and positive reviews. It cost about Can $1500...

    Wrapped my 2021 RT Limited

    I purchased my 2021 RTL during the Covid pandemic, so colour choice was very limited and you had to take what was available. I ended up with the Asphalt Grey Metallic which was ok, but certainly not my first choice. I always intended to get it wrapped, but somehow never got around to doing it...

    2021 RTL stuck in 1st gear - any help or suggestions would be welcome!?

    Nope. For almost twenty years, I kept a spreadsheet on what extended warranties would have cost on my wife’s and my cars as well as the motorcycles I owned during the period, versus the not covered repairs I paid for. If I recall correctly, I am ahead of the game by $30K or more, so I shouldn’t...

    2021 RTL stuck in 1st gear - any help or suggestions would be welcome!?

    The problem is certainly something I can’t fix so I have ordered a flat bed for Wednesday morning. I have a gut feeling that this is going to be an expensive experience.

    2021 RTL stuck in 1st gear - any help or suggestions would be welcome!?

    Thanks for the responses. The bike shuts down normally and restarts normally - by that, I mean turning on the Parking brake and switching off; and starting by pressing the Mode button, releasing the Parking brake, and pressing start with a foot firmly on the brake pedal. When the bike...

    2021 RTL stuck in 1st gear - any help or suggestions would be welcome!?

    Enjoying a ride today and when I pulled off from a light the bike refused to upshift from 1st to 2nd. It's completely stuck and won't downshift from 1st to Neutral. No error code showing. Tried restarting and then waiting 10 mins and restarting but no go. Limped home in first gear keeping the...

    I am now Spyderless

    Pete, sorry to hear of your retirement - all of us will face the same issue sooner or later. I was happy that we could do the seat deal a few years ago and that the Russel Day Long worked well for you. All the best

    Just finished installing my new Spyderpops KOTT Grille.

    Interesting question….. I have had mine on for a while and my sense is the fan is coming on more often and staying on for longer. Also the ambient temperature runs very warm especially when stopped. I’m not sure where the sensor is for the ambient temperature but yesterday in stop/start traffic...

    Are there any Mirror stiffeners for an F3-S?

    It seems to me it’s the glass itself that is vibrating but I’ll check the mount to be sure

    Are there any Mirror stiffeners for an F3-S?

    The mirrors on my 2015 F3-S are starting to vibrate, particularly the left one. I see a couple of mirror-locking options for the RT’s, F3-T's, and L’s but haven’t found any for the barebones F3's or F3-S's. The mirrors on the F3-S look very different from the other models, so it seems unlikely...

    Spyder enjoyment vs. experience of ownership

    I have been lucky so far with my dealer experiences in both California and BC. I admit my expectations aren’t sky high but Malcolm Smith in Riverside CA (service and warranty issues) and Greater Vancouver Powersports (sprocket recall) have been excellent so far. Recently bought a 2023 Kawasaki...

    Anyone else had Tricled sequential fender turn signal failures?

    RT seems better suited for seniors

    I am a 74 year old relic have both an RTL and a F3S (different locations) and much prefer the F3 riding position and ergonomics. It’s the sitting in versus sitting on thing. Having said that, I would probably pick the RTL for a long multi day tour, as despite trying a number of windshields, I...
