• 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.

    How Much Oil To Add?

    Just changed the oil on mine. Bought it a week ago and was checking it over and I checked the oil, letting it warm up and check it within 2 minutes after shutting it down. The oil was up to the wire on the dipstick which was sorta disconcerting with the way people say overfilling is so...

    Do People Get Thrown Off of Spyders?

    I don't know if I could safely do that, shifting from one to the other, back and forth.

    My Back between the shoulders hurts after 6 hours of riding - anyone else? Would handlebar risers help? Is this normal?

    My back was like that right after I got my Voyager, I found I was unintentionally keeping my back and shoulders stiff keeping straight, a backrest worked wonders. Possibly help you....maybe?

    Do People Get Thrown Off of Spyders?

    But for pure luck he'd be singing tenor... ten or 15 octaves higher. This proves that there is a Darwin, but this guy juuust failed to get any award.

    Considering a Spyder - Can I Ask You Some Questions?

    There's no 'friction zone' during low speed turns. Look where you want to go as you would on a bike, turn the bars, lean into the turn/brake/accelerate if necessary and you're good.

    Considering a Spyder - Can I Ask You Some Questions?

    Yup, exactly how mine felt when I drove it home, to the point I was thinking to myself, what have I done! Trust me, it does get better and more natural after a bit. Still squirrely, but definitely better. The feeling of not being able to drop the rig is a different sensation as well. That's what...

    Considering a Spyder - Can I Ask You Some Questions?

    Agree with what's been said so far. Just got mine a week ago, and it's getting better and better once I got past the death grip. Coming from a Kawi Voyager, it's quite a difference. Still reach for the clutch and front brake on occasion, as well as go to lift my foot up or down to shift. but...

    What are your favotite places to buy OEM parts & accessories?

    In Canada we don't have many options. We can buy it from the suppliers mentioned, but the difference in the Canuk buck to US is ridiculous, not to mention shipping and duty. So far, I've had good luck with Fort Nine, but they don't have a lot. They did have my filters and replacement drain plugs...

    New member, thanks for having me - and where's a good place to get these things?

    Thanks for the reply JayBros. Looking at how far the key actually goes in to activate the seat or frunk I'd say for sure it does. Trying to find a locksmith to cut it now, they're like hens teeth, all the places around here have gone to the automated 'stick the key in and the machine will make...

    I do have a PA close and I was considering that but always suspect of their quality.

    Mounting a fuse block near engine compartment of my Spyder, any particular type of adhesive tape to use?

    This brand came with my dash cam: https://www.amazon.ca/Sticky-Adhesive-Replacement-Dashboard-Suction/dp/B09W5QS35V?source=ps-sl-shoppingads-lpcontext&ref_=fplfs&psc=1&smid=A2F75HEW5XBP7K I can attest to the fact they will not come off, I tried to remove it from my windshield and had to use...

    New member, thanks for having me - and where's a good place to get these things?

    I have, but they're not always cheaper and unless they are a brand name, quality is always suspect. T6 oil I ended up getting at NAPA, $47 for 5L. KN -556 oil filter $14, trans drain plug 5-302 $10, oil sump plug 5-303 $20., it ended up the same price at Fort Nine out of Quebec and they had a...

    How can I leave the parking brake off when parked in the garage?

    Just new to the Spyder scene but I'd have to agree but to each his/her own :-).

    How can I leave the parking brake off when parked in the garage?

    Did just that, beeping stopped, able to roll it around. Call me paranoid but I still used chocks in case of an earthquake LOL. Ordered the O rings, KN oil filter and picked up a couple jugs of T6 today so I can change the oil on the ole girl. CAN$ 40 for 5 O rings is nuts, I'll be sourcing them...

    How can I leave the parking brake off when parked in the garage?

    K, thanks guys, I'll try the 30 second... albeit annoying wait LOL Not really worried about the drag or lack of as the only time I intend to not use the brake is in the garage where the floor is level... somewhat. :-)

    How can I leave the parking brake off when parked in the garage?

    Morning all. Apologies if this has been discussed before and I think it has, but be darned if I can find it. Yes I'm a newbie LOL. 2015 Spyder SE6 F3 park brake, how do I leave it off when parked in the garage? I can't see the sense in parking it on a level surface with tension on the cable and...

    New member, thanks for having me - and where's a good place to get these things?

    Thanks for the reply Mike. Unfortunately, at the current exchange rate of Can $1.36 to every US $1, it's out of my price range at the moment, especially after just getting the bike, not to mention the shipping and the government portion in taxes and whatever else they decide to charge for duty.

    New member, thanks for having me - and where's a good place to get these things?

    Hey all, names Mike and I just joined, so a bit of obligatory background before I dive into the questions. :-) Unfortunately, I have to sell my '09 Kawi Voyager as I feel it's time due to two bum knees and a bum hip and just not having the stability I used to have. This bike has never let me...
