• 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.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Now that the summer long distance touring season is over, I did some swapping around to put my Spyder into its day riding, sport(ier) mode. 1.) Off with the taller/wider/clear Isotta touring windscreen and on with the dark smoke Gustaffson windscreen. 2.) Off with the Russell Day Long touring...

    Kenda tires - I truly don't understand the hateful responses to Kenda tires. I have over 22,000 km on mine and they're only 50% worn.

    Quality car tires, such as Vredestein/General/Continental, are just slightly more expensive than OEM kenda/Kanine tires. Generally within $10/tire. Pre Covid, a couple of manufactures (Federal/Achilles) imported 165/55R15 tires, and they were decent for the Spyder. I currently have a set of...

    I wonder what the OP ultimately decided to do?

    How can you tell when it is time to replace front shocks?

    My take from the OP was that he was wondering when to replace his front stock shocks. I saw no where that he was unhappy with how they worked. If so, replacing two shock bodies for $275 might be all he needs.

    I've gone from ATGATT to H (just Helmet).

    Like you, @vito1943, I have been riding motorcycles for 56 years. I'm a 80% helmet/jacket/jeans/gloves/boots rider, but I do have that 20% in me. My primary helmet is a open face 3/4, though I do have a flip back modular in inventory. Also, I also have been known to ride in shorts, t-shirt...

    How can you tell when it is time to replace front shocks?

    Makes no sense?? Even a 2025 shock body for a 2025 F3L is $138.

    Newbie just got my Spyder - what's the cheapest/best option for putting a rear seat back rest on my 2022 base RT?

    They come stock.

    What is the recommended Tire pressure for a Canyon?

    If you have a OEM Kenda (or Kanine), you put in 28#. Some might run 26# in hopes to shorten center wear. If you have a car tire (Vredestein), I'd think 17-18# would be good.

    What is the recommended Tire pressure for a Canyon?

    28psi .. Also, talk to your dealer about getting an owners manual :( https://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/public/tmp/219002306.Canyon%20Series.pdf

    Is the Canyon Riding position narrower than the RT's? Enough to notice & stop cramping hips?

    No answer yet? :(

    Contemplating buying a Spyder - any reliability, power, and buyer's remorse issues?

    Have to believe that a 8 year old Spyder doesn't have any type of warranty remaining. That said, there are a lot of "garage queens" out there. Many people buy motorcycles/toys and simply don't use them.

    I just ordered BUDS w/ Megatech license.

    He probably locked it so you can't alter his tune adjustments. As long as the .stk tune file is on your PV4 as an available flash, you shouldn't have any concerns.

    How can you tell when it is time to replace front shocks?

    Springs can fatigue over time, but shock oil/gas degradation is a bigger culprit of wear.

    How can you tell when it is time to replace front shocks?

    At a MSRP of around $138, it doesn't pay to rebuild the OEM shock. Shock Package T, LTD 706001697 - https://www.partshark.com/oemparts/p/can_am/706001697/shock $137.49

    Has anyone lowered a 2020+ RT seat?

    I can honestly say that my Russell Day Long is very comfortable over hundreds of miles/days. I do use an Alaskan Leather sheepskin on hot days. That said, comfort comes at a cost (literally and figuratively), as it raises the seat height a solid inch over the OEM sest height. That translates...

    Has anyone lowered a 2020+ RT seat?

    I had Seth redo my OEM seat on my past F3S. It was a good seat (not as good as my current RDL), but also about an inch higher. RDL makes a sport version, but it is approx. the same height as the OEM seat. I went back to my OEM seat to give it a try for everyday riding. I'd like to see a stock RT...
