• 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.

    What is the best Location for an RT on a 7 x 14 dual axle trailer? How far ahead of the front axle should I mount the chocks?

    Measure the height of the hitch to the ground with the empty trailer attached. Load the bike and move it forward enough to put weight on the tongue. Measure to the ground again at the same spot. When you achieve 1 inch lower from the empty measurement then you are good. Enough tongue weight to...

    2021 RT left blinker only working hit and miss - does the left handlebar module need replacing?

    I would get some electronic contact cleaner and spray it into the switch. I've used this method to clean recalcitrant switches on several different motorcycles. The stuff evaporates quite rapidly but usually cleans the contacts on the switch.

    Anyone experienced vibrations in their 2026 Sea to Sky Mirrors, like those in earlier 2020+ models?

    Sounds like a warranty issue. I have a 24 S2S with no mirror vibration.

    Have you thought of just attempting to tighten the mounting fasteners?

    Catastrophic Damage at 2026 D3WR - any suggestions on transporters to ship an F3 home to NC?

    My local dealer is horrible at keeping techs. Turnover is sky high. I never see the same face more than twice in the service dept. Because of that, the techs are always learning on your bike. I had a punctured rear tire replaced there not long after I bought the bike, and they messed up the belt...

    This might be an option if you have a tow vehicle: U-Haul’s 16‑foot Toy Hauler flatbed trailer, designed for transporting cars and other vehicles, comes equipped with three 8‑foot loading ramps U-Haul+1. This model is specifically built for hauling passenger vehicles, SUVs, trucks...

    Any suggestions on good Ear protection for lowering wind noise?

    My wife and I have been carrying cotton balls in a sealable sandwich bag for years. Tear a little off and put in your ears. You'll soon find the correct amount to use that provides the wind noise protection but doesn't compromise the media and intercom you may have to turn up the volume a little...

    Thoughts on my first SS1000 with the Spyder

    I had pressure point problems with my '24 S2S with the comfort seat. I solved it with a waffle gel foam pad that overlapped the seat width slightly. I bought mine years ago at Walmart which no longer sells them. However if you were to purchase a similar product from Amazon Gel Seat Cushion...

    Has anyone installed a Garmin XT2 and Touratech Lock with Helibars? Any pics? Will it fit?

    No I'm not I'm just showing you there is a method to mount the gps where you want it. You don't have to take my suggestion if you don't want to.

    Has anyone installed a Garmin XT2 and Touratech Lock with Helibars? Any pics? Will it fit?

    I have my XT mounted between my Helibars, it is really the ideal location. The XT and XT2 have the same dimensions. I used this mount from LaMonster: https://www.lamonstergarage.com/lamonster-ram-mount-for-2-0-f3-rt-all-options-can-am-spyder-motorcycle/?searchid=1387195&search_query=gps+mount -

    A tip for making your radio sound louder.

    This works incredibly well, I have an older Android phone that I use for an MP3 player on the bike. It does not have a native MP3 player and I downloaded an app to play my songs. I was afraid that this method might not work with a downloaded app, but I maxed out the equalizer settings in the app...

    Any Modification recommendations from those who tour on their Spyders?

    I think you're talking about a different battery, the Chinese junk that comes with the newer bikes, at least from 2024 maybe earlier, is pure trash. Even only a couple of months old and even if on a maintainer it will throw DSS codes because the battery level dips below 10v while starting.

    Ever mount a longer strut under the seat?

    I'd be wary of getting one too strong because it would make it difficult to latch the seat in the down position.
