• 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.

    2023 Ryker with a Final Drive Leak - what could be venting oil? Any common leak points?

    Just a suggestion, but wipe a finger in the oil and smell it. Does it smell like gear oil (aka cat piss) or like something else. I took my 2019 Rally in for what I thought was a final drive leak and the tech identified it as a leaky water pump. The antifreeze was running all the way back and...

    Define "Old"

    At the recent BMW MOA rally in Tennessee I purchased a pair of MOA branded compression socks. What does that say about motorcycle demographics? They are really nice compression socks though.

    Canyon Drive Belt Lower Idler Support Recall

    So I took my Canyon to my dealer this morning. They had become aware of the recall about the same time we did. The service writer is ordering the replacement parts and will call me when they come in. He made sure to point out that it was a safety recall and leaving it there until the parts can...

    Canyon Drive Belt Lower Idler Support Recall

    Well, it is a new model but some teething problems are to be expected. Apparently the recall affects all Canyons sold in North America. Thanks to a sharp eyed Canyon owner in Germany for the heads up...

    Finally picked up my Canyon

    I have noticed the same forward surge on downshift; if I am still on the throttle. If I fully close the throttle before downshift, the surge is minimal.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I updated the software on my Canyon to V 4.1. I initially tried to connect to wi-fi from our old Apple home router; it did not work. The download kept stalling at about 50%. I finally gave up and connected to the modem for our internet service and everything proceeded flawlessly. I'm not...

    Clock Setting screen no longer works, any help appreciated!?

    I updated my Canyon to version 4.1 today. The lnformation amkrat provided about -7 time zone really helped.

    Is this metallic knocking in reverse normal? 2011 RT

    If it is the semi-automatic transmission it is just the clutch actuating and the gear dogs engaging. Perfectly normal.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I added a piece of 1/4" closed cell foam to the inside bottoms of my Canyon side bags. Hopefully that will prevent any hard item bouncing around inside them from dinging the aluminum. As a bonus they provide a thermal barrier from the exhaust. My groceries will stay fresher on the way home...

    Riding Gear Poll

    My standard response to anyone questioning my full gear (even during hot weather) is that "I would rather sweat than bleed". Look closely at my avatar, it is what was left of my BMW GS when the Honda Accord driver turned left in front of me. Both the GS and I flipped over the car and down the...

    Making custom Linq gear - any ideas &/or specs, diagrams, etc to help?

    When I purchased my Canyon I wanted to use the trunk from my BMW GS. I purchased the Ski-Doo LinQ Universal Rack for REV Gen4 860202208 from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09J9796VP?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title. It has two latches that connect to the LinQ fittings on my Canyon. I just...

    Touring on the Canyon? Just got back from 1600 mile trip - my observations...

    1600 miles from Tuesday to Friday with a rally thrown in? Of course I enjoyed it! It also confirmed that my decision to trade my Ryker Rally in on the Canyon was the right one for me.
