• 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.

    I bought all my Tires at Discount Tire for around $250... I removed all the wheels in my Garage, took them to town, and had a young guy who runs his own motor cycle shop remove and replace all 3 tires for about $55... He did a great job, and if I ever have to do it again, I hope he is still in...

    Oh my... lower psi in car tires on Spyder's really works!

    Well...... this is the first thing I have heard or seen about this, I have been hearing a little chirping noise when pulling out and cornering ... I thought it was the drive belt. But now that you've said this, I am pretty sure that's what I am hearing too... Thank you for the Info.

    Oh my... lower psi in car tires on Spyder's really works!

    I just put 3 new car tires on my RTS ( Kumho Escta 225/50R15 ) & ( Sincera 165/65R14 ) about 2 weeks ago ... I put 20 lbs. in each of them , have only put maybe 200 miles on it so far , but... handles and rides really good . good for me anyway.

    Where do you jack the Spyder Up?

    I was talking with the guy at the tire shop who changed my 2 front tires today, and we both kinda said the same thing about why would anyone design and build anything so hard to do something as simple as changing a tire? Unless it was just to make sure the owner would bring it back to the...

    Where do you jack the Spyder Up?

    I think as a Mechanic, because I did only that for more than half of my working life, the more I got into removing this Rear Wheel the more I could see what I Should have done. This might not be what Can-Am would ever say to do. But I have owned 5 Honda Goldwings in a row in last 15 years or so...

    Where do you jack the Spyder Up?

    I have been a Mechanic all my life, and jacked up everything from a VW Bug to an 80,000 lb. gross Kenworth & Trailer. But, nothing like my Spyder. I planned to put new tires on mine today, but I have already run into a couple of problems. LOL First, it has a Trailer Hitch on it, and the bolt...
