• 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 tips/Snags will a local motorcycle tire shop need/meet doing a Spyder Rear Tire replacement?

    Verify the F3 torque specs are the same as RT specs. I've never seen a post of a rear tire failure on the road, even with all the low quality Kenda tires out there wearing out quickly. If you are that worried about it, just carry a can that puts sealant in and inflates the tire. Then in a few...

    What tips/Snags will a local motorcycle tire shop need/meet doing a Spyder Rear Tire replacement?

    I just bought the required 36mm wrenches/socket and a 250 lb ft torque wrench and do my own install of General Altimax tires. I have done four now; three on my Spyders, and one on an in-laws'.

    Anybody see a measurable change in fuel mileage with larger diameter rear tire?

    I don't know if I posted this earlier? Best way to increase mpg is to slow down.

    No First Gear after unloading from the trailer - what do I check and how do I fix it?

    Does it hang down on the Canyon? Maybe there is a solution there? All three on my 2018's have been trailered at one point or another. Champaign one did a round trip AZ to WA and back twice on the trailer, before coming to Washington on its on it's own three wheels. This was m solution:

    Having a blast, but have you noticed these Spyders Take an Effort To Ride?!

    The first front tires I installed on Champaign RT back in winter of 2020-2021 were: Federal Formoza AZ01 165/55R15 They quit making that tire which was just as well. Next up were Vredestein 175/55R15's on PPA wheels which held the road even better than the Formoza's. I put the OEM chrome wheels...

    New Spyder Sea to Sky and Trailering - will I be able to tie my Spyder down properly?

    If you fold up the extra length of strap and place it under the handle, push the handle down against the bundle of extra strap and the handle will hold it in place.

    New Spyder Sea to Sky and Trailering - will I be able to tie my Spyder down properly?

    Also watch the nose for hitting the ramp before the front wheels start up, and have someone watch the reverse shift thingy that hangs down under the machine that it clears the trailer at break over point.
