• 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.

    Anyone tried TricLed's Afterburner tail light for 2020+ RTL?

    Has anyone tried the TricLED Afterburner LED run/brake/turn signal tail light available for the 2020+ RT? I recently traded my 2019 RTL for a 2022 Sea to Sky and the only thing I don't like about the new Spyder is that I think it needs more lighting at the rear. This is the only aftermarket...

    Can Anyone recommend a good Dealer?

    Marine World, Wichita, Ks. (316-265-2628) Great to deal with and really take care of their customers. For service talk to Mark. For sales talk to Kody. They also have the Rolo laser alignment system.

    I got my S2S!

    I just got lucky too. Took my 2019 in to have the rear tire replaced and they had a Sea to Sky in stock but not completed but had the parts to complete it. Made a very fair offer to trade and I took them up on it. I have it in my mind that the 2020+ models of the RT have a slightly longer wheel...

    I got my S2S!

    I hope you are as happy with yours as I am with mine. Picked up my 2022 Sea to Sky day before yesterday(Wednesday). Traded my 2019 RTL in on it and got a very fair deal from Marine World in Wichita. Maybe it's just my imagination but it seems more stable that the 2019 even though the 2019 had...

    What polish to use on S2S matt paint?

    Just took delivery on my 2022 Spyder Sea to Sky. Love the bike and the color, but my question is what polish to you all recommend on the matt paint? Bike is Mystery Blue which I love but it is matt paint. I have heard that regular spray on polish such as Mequires spray wax will leave it...

    Wet weather tire and gear report

    Very interesting to see these positive reports on the Verdestein Quatrac. I installed Verdestein Quatrac 175/55R/15 on the front due to rock damage on the sidewall of one of the fronts just last week and will install Verdestein Quatrac 205/60/15 on the rear Thursday. Both front and back are...

    Urgent! Starter button acting up - Update!

    I think the bike is designed to require you to put your foot on the brake pedal to use the starter, at lease that is the way mine has always behaved. Sounds like you may not have a problem at all.

    F3L vs RTL comparison questions - any input?

    The biggest consideration for me in ending up with an RTL was the seating position. I came from years on sport touring bikes where my feet were directly under me. Anyone coming from a cruiser or a HD is accustomed to a feet forward arrangement. To me, it was easier to maintain proper riding...

    Kenda Kanine K20 availability

    Blue Knight. No one would question that you and Peter are the experts when it comes to tires for the Spyder, but I would prefer to stay with the Verdestein so I have the same brand on all corners. Picking nits perhaps but just my preference. With that in mind it appears my choices for the...

    Kenda Kanine K20 availability

    Directing my comments/question to Blue Knight and Peter Awen who seem to be the most knowledgeable and informed on the car tire sizing issue, I am inclined to go to Vredestein Quatrac 165/60/R15 for the front and Vredestein Quatrac 205/65R-15 for the rear. I also note that in an earlier note...

    Kenda Kanine K20 availability

    I have come to the realization that it is highly unlikely I can find a K20 tire to replace the damaged one and will have to out of necessity go to a car tire, which frankly, I intended to do when these tires were done so no big deal, just earlier than I expected to have to deal with replacement...

    Kenda Kanine K20 availability

    Just discovered that I damaged one of my front tires on my 2019 RTL while on a road trip. Hit a large rock with the outside of my left front tire. I stopped and didn't see any damage so proceeded on and rode another 500 +/- miles on to home. Parked and then noticed that I had a visible bubble on...

    Rear Tire Difference between Kenda Stock KR21 vs Replacement KR20 aka Kanine

    I put KR20's, all the way around, on my 2019 RTL a little more than a year ago and I am satisfied with their performance. I replaced all three tires because I wanted to go to the Kanines and even though the fronts weren't ready to throw away, went ahead to replace all three. I do think they are...

    Looking at a Spyder - any expertise or advice on offer?

    Lots of good advice above. There are basic differences between the Ryker, F3 and RT. The Ryker is really small and sits very low to the ground, the F3 has a more sporty stance, driver sits down in the bike and has less wind protection particularly on the legs from knee down and the RT is a full...

    2020 RTL - Is it hard to knock your front wheels out of alignment?

    I also doubt that you knocked it out of alignment, but I've got to say that the projected charge for alignment is ridiculous. I don't like to complain about the worth of someone else's services but, I had my RT aligned at Lamonster Garage and watched them do it. They installed a BajaRon sway...

    Do Can Am Spyders have a Reserve Tank???

    Peter - I agree with every statement you made above and believe me I was looking for gas at every turn of the road for over 100 miles but there was just none available. I certainly didn't mean to endorse such conduct just to point out that there was significant fuel available even when the gauge...

    Do Can Am Spyders have a Reserve Tank???

    I got caught where gas was not available last weekend and the distance to empty showed only bars, low fuel light was on and still drove about 30 miles until I found gas. Based on the amount of fuel to fill the tank completely full I still had about one gallon left but I was sweating it.

    Too hot to handle - heat on inner thighs fm glovebox - any suggestions?

    Response to Seagravesg. The cat delete is a replacement exhaust component available from several sources but I chose the version available from Lamonster one of our site sponsers. It simply replaces the catalytic converter with a custom made exhaust pipe and is simply plug and play. Got mine...

    Too hot to handle - heat on inner thighs fm glovebox - any suggestions?

    I guess I will find out if the cat delete helps or not. I had earlier installed a RLS muffler and did not install a cat delete because I didn't want the extra level of loud exhaust but after four days riding in 100 degree temperatures and having the upper side of my legs literally baked to the...

    Too hot to handle - heat on inner thighs fm glovebox - any suggestions?

    2019 RTL three cylinder 1330. I noticed last week and then again today in a big way that the heat on my inner thighs by the little glove compartment was just unbearable when riding in the heat. Engine temperature was normal or a little less than usual so no overheating problem but the engine...
