• 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 am looking for the best way to move my RT around

    I have a pair of these: https://www.harborfreight.com/1250-lbs-capacity-vehicle-positioning-wheel-dolly-61917.html I have used them to move my car within my garage as well as my popup camper. They are stable and easy to use, and I had absolutely no trouble putting them around the tires of my...

    Call out for Ochs Auto Sales & Power Sports Jackson, Mo

    They are not who you think they are! Ochs has a horrible reputation in Jackson and in other communities where he has businesses. Right now, they have a judgement against them for a screwed-up oil change job (they let an untrained kid change the oil on a Spyder RTL), customer picked up Spyder was...

    Sproket issue wrongly diagnosed

    The first mechanic did not even take the sprocket off of my Spyder. He could not have made a correct diagnosis without actually inspecting the actual sprocket. And the reason I know the first mechanic did not inspect the front sprocket is that when he came out to tell me that my sprocket was...

    Sproket issue wrongly diagnosed

    A week ago yesterday I made an appointment to have my rear tire change and to install a new belt at a dealer 250 miles away from where I live. At the time I made the appointment I was in OKC attending to some business there and the dealership in Missouri was on my way back home to SE Missouri...

    Car Tire Advice Please! What do I need to be aware of? Pressures, etc?

    Yokohama S Drive on rear, 20 psi. Great traction on wet or dry pavements. It sticks like glue on dry roads and handles water like it was a duck in rain.

    What cup holder works for you, on an RT Spyder?

    Drink to go and Contigo insulated cup with the lock on the lid so all I have to do is push in button on back and drink. Contigo cups keep ice "ice" for 24 hours. I mounted the drink holder on the backside of the handlebars.

    Safety Gear

    I tend to agree with you Roadkill and that is why what you wear to get your pleasure from motorcycling is your choice to make, except where you live or ride to, but even then, you have to assess the risks you may encounter. I recently moved to Missouri from Oklahoma. Oklahoma has no helmet...

    ATGATT From a female point of view: I LOVE it that my riding partner is ATGATT (2018 Honda Goldwing-DCT). This tells me that he is wanting the best results out of a crash, should or when it happens. It tells me that he cares about himself enough to want to live (or minimize his injuries)...

    How important is the 55 Profile? Can I safely run a 50 Profile tire?

    Yes, Peter had the best answer, and I thank you so much for the full explanation. This helps me so much to understand my tires. Actually, the tire pressure I was running on the Formoza's was 20. I even had a comment from a man who mounted and balanced them that he did not understand how the...

    How important is the 55 Profile? Can I safely run a 50 Profile tire?

    As an added note, about 6 weeks ago I ordered 2 Federal Formoza's for the front. I have put around 7000 miles on them since their installation. I was not impressed with them. I was especially disappointed with them in the rain. I encountered 2 different times (2 separate rainstorms) when I was...

    How important is the 55 Profile? Can I safely run a 50 Profile tire?

    My apologies. You are correct. I have been running the Yokohama S Drive on my Spyder since the rear Kenda wore out and I guess I just forgot what the size was on the Kenda. :opps:

    How important is the 55 Profile? Can I safely run a 50 Profile tire?

    Thanks guys. I'm going to give it a try with the 50 circumference. If I notice anything weird, I will pull the tire off and get the right tire. Not sure where you got the 225/50/15 - the tire I have used in the past (and have on my Spyder right now) is a 205/55/15. The tire that I purchased...

    How important is the 55 Profile? Can I safely run a 50 Profile tire?

    I know I am going to get beat up for this, but here is my tire question to the experts here on the board. How important is the circumference of a rear tire? If I need a 55 circumference will a 50 be okay? And will it make a huge difference? The reason I ask is because I thought I ordered a...

    Picking up my new to me 2016 RT Limited tomorrow

    :congrats: RTL in Missouri. Congratulations on your new to you 2016 RTL. I have a blue 2016 RTL and LOVE it! I am short and small so it has been a long time dream of mine to ride a motorcycle that could keep up with the big boys. That's what I have with the Spyder. My vanity plate is MY...

    Don't go out Unprepared in the Heat! We were lucky...

    Most everything that has been written here is true and very important. One thing that is almost always overlooked is your preparation for your summer riding. Well before you take that first summer ride you need to start preparing your body for the heat. Hydrating on a daily basis is the key...

    Seals for a 2012 622 trailer

    For a lack of a section on the Can Am trailers, I am asking my question here. I need the 2 seals that go around the lip of the 2 sections on the 622 trailer. I have searched the BRP website and cannot find the parts listing on these trailers or a way to order them. Does anyone have a good...

    GoPro Mount

    Mounting GoPro I did the exact same thing with the exact same results. On the left mirror ledge I can (if I have to) reach out and pull it off, but so far I have been pleased with that placement.

    favorite tire

    My favorite's Yokohama S Drive on the rear (just installed my 2nd one of my 2016 RTL 2 months ago). Federal Formoza AZ01 on the front (just installed today and I doubt I could improve on the ride with any other brand). The difference in both rear and front is 1000 plus 1 times better than the...
