• 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 did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    Rode my Canyon to Aldi for the weekly groceries; it held them all no problem. We stopped for gas on the way home.

    Anyone else despise the Kill Switch/Cruise Control location?

    I did the same thing with my Canyon (once). In my defense, I was experimenting with cruse on a new model when I had never had cruse on a motorcycle before. I think repositioning my hand to get my thumb on the button is what hit the kill switch.

    Are Spyders becoming popular, or not?

    What I know is that it is difficult to get on or off my Canyon in a parking lot without somebody walking over and asking about it.

    RIP Dolly Parton

    The performer Jellyrool said it best. "She was probably the last person in America that everybody liked."

    Spyder just quit running while riding... Is this an isolated incident?

    On my first long interstate trip on the Canyon I had a similar experience. I was cruising at 75 and was trying to learn the cruise control when the engine quit and the dash lights came on. I also coasted toward the shoulder, noticed that I had hit the kill switch, moved the switch back to on...

    Rear tire options - any suggestions?

    I replaced the stock rear Kenda tire on my Canyon with a Vredestien Quadtrac 5 at about 8,500 miles. I was hoping for greater hydroplaning resistance. It has worked great; we haven't had a drop of rain since. However, the new tire has performed very well on dry pavement. I have the pressure set...

    Canyon Front Tires Rubbing the Fenders

    Ok, Sarah this may sound odd but I had the VSS update done on my Canyon and after that the self-canceling turn signals were no longer reliable. Sometimes after a turn the signals keep flashing other times they cancel fine. The reliability seems related to the force of the turn. Easy turn no...

    Canyon Carving on a Canyon

    Those of us who have purchased a Canyon are sitting here smiling and nodding our heads. The seating position reminds me (as you would expect) of my dear departed BMW GS.

    Canyon Front Tires Rubbing the Fenders

    My Canyon makes a creaking or popping noise when turning and going through a dip (such as when turning into or from an elevated fuel station. My perception is that it is due to flex of the water deflector in front of the pegs where it is attached to the tubular frame. I took it to my dealer and...

    What psi are you running in your Canyon's Rear Suspension Air Bag?

    For my Canyon I tried to extrapolate from the 5 lbs on the chart for 150 lb rider (no passenger) then added 1 lb for the weight of the side and top cases empty. I tried up to 8 lbs but found that to be a bit too stiff for my taste and settled on the aforementioned 6.

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    I installed the watertightness improvement kit in my Canyon side cases. Basically adhesive backed neoprene washers that get installed between the aluminum case and all attachment points. Not a bad job (only a couple hours) but really fiddly. I don't think they will help much because the problem...
