• 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.

    Interesting oil test report. What say you?

    Warren Oil Company has been a long producer of SuperTech oils. Not sure if they still are.

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    My two favorite exhaust smells are Castrol bean oil or Klotz. Loved the exhaust odor of my 1970's pre mix two stroke MX bikes :)

    Engine Oil - What Amsoil products are you using?

    I can't detect any seat of the pants difference. MPG's are pretty consistent. No odd noises. I normally run 10w40, but had (4) quarts of two year old Castrol Power 1 10w50 m/c synthetic that I used in my past F3S. I just added a quart of Amsoil 10w40 to = 5 quarts. Wasn't going to let perfectly...

    Engine Oil - What Amsoil products are you using?

    Tried Amsoil 5w40 metric m/c oil on my last run. Due to the 5w40 shear factor, I'll stick with 10w40 weight (actually running leftover 10w50 this run).

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Checked out all the vitals, adjusted tire pressures, and put it under cover until my Sturgis trip in two weeks. Just superstitious that way, but I still have my two wheeler to ride. :)

    A post from Lamont on FB...

    Another message from Lamont on FB: "The shop has been getting calls about when we're going to be shutting our doors because of my situation. I'm here to say there are no plans to shut down Lamonster Garage at any time soon. Jacob has been running the shop for the last two years without me being...

    A quick review of Elka Stage II shocks on my RTL

    The OP did sell his Spyder last fall, and is out of the Spyder game. Maybe he will pop in at some time??

    What is the oil capacity of a 2026 S2S? Does it hold more than 5 Qts of oil?

    Kinda weird. My 2019 F3S manual called for 5.5 qts with filter, and that's what it took. My 2022 RT S2S manual calls for 5 qts with filter, and that's what it takes. Again, weird.

    Which Battery tender works best - OptiMate 3 or the Battery Tender Junior?

    I've been using a 1.5A battery tender on my 21Ah Spyder battery and a 750MA tender on my 8Ah Husqvarna 401 battery.

    Goodbye

    This is the best informational Spyder site on the web. FB is, at times, comical with all the unexperienced input. Sorry to see you go..

    How long does the Factory Belt Tensioner last by miles?

    I always wondered why Can-Am/BRP doesn't list these as a maintenance replaceable item on models equipped with them? They are not designed to last forever.

    Does this Belt Tensioner Idler Stabilizer Roller look familiar?

    No doubt a Chinese knockoff. I have the Lamonster on mine.
