• 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'm even more of a Spyder fan than I was before

    I think that the older you get, the more you appreciate ryding a Spyder. Ryde till you can't do it anymore!!

    Buying a new helmet - who replaces them every 5 years per manufacturers spec??

    To be honest, if you store your helmet inside away from the damaging effects of the sun's UV rays, and all the foam padding inside is still intact and not squashed, why even consider buying a new helmet?? Just make sure it wasn't dropped or was hit in any way. Most manufacturers claim that...

    Any thoughts about running Car Tires On The Rear?

    My next rear tire WILL be a car tire. I am more of a Michelin, Continental, Pirelli fan boi, so I'm going to have to research this, but not for another 10k miles or so.

    After some True Can-Am insight - will I be making a huge mistake buying the RTL or F3?

    Here's my opinion, take it for what it's worth. Avoid 1st or 2nd year new model runs. I don't believe that they have worked out the bugs yet. I think that with each new model introduction, they improve the reliability. Good luck with whatever decision you make. Just make sure you get one. ;)

    It pays to buy quality gear

    The old adage still applies: "Ya git whut ya pay fer" ESPECIALLY with riding gear.

    Reminder - record your End-of-Year milage for comparison/averages/new goals! And Happy New Year!

    Didn't do much Spyder ryding this year because I got obsessed and installed with a lot of mods for my Iron 1200 and rode that bike more often. Don't see the mileage increasing much THIS year either, as I'm not totally finished modifying it, lol.

    Forever mystified by Can Am's lack of style...

    It is my opinion that they limit color choices to simplify things and further increase company profits.

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    Been eyeing some websites to improve the stock seats. My a** gets numb after about an hour, and I even tried that air pad thingie which didn't really do jack. I'm skinny, and probably need to eat a lot more to get more "padding" back there, lol. Stay tuned...

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

    Nope, you don't need our disapproval from those ATGATT people. You do whatever you want, whatever makes you happy, especially at your age.

    Interesting conversation at the gas pump - asked why I chose to ride a Spyder rather than 'a real motorcycle'?!

    To compare driving a 'vert like a Miata, where you're protected from the elements, to riding a Spyder, where you're out in the open, is really laughable. Not EVEN close. When people ask me such obnoxious questions, I just turn the question around and say something like, "Are YOU the one riding...

    Where are you from? Where do you live?

    We had a Filipino dish called "Dinuguan" over white rice. Google it. Lemme know if you want to come over and try some, LOL. Hopefully, we can schedule a ride soon when the temps go down a bit !!

    Spyderless, but not gone!

    Frankly, I don't understand the appeal of those things. IMHO, they're not unlike a small convertible. Might as well get something more practical like a Miata ....

    Where are you from? Where do you live?

    Reno, NV. Moved here back in 2006 after being on the road as a medical contract worker (I.e. CT/x-ray traveler) for 7 years trying to find a place I would call "home". Positives - best skiing in the country, best roads to ride my Harley and Spyder, seafood buffets aplenty, no state taxes...

    Can this plastic piece be removed to wrap?

    I'm sure you can find a wrap that would cover that piece. It's actually a very easy procedure to do if you take your time and develop a good technique.

    Anyone purchased from an out of town dealer? Is this common? Any concerns?

    I honestly don't see any issues doing this. My local dealership didn't have an RT Limited in stock, so I had to travel to Elk Grove, CA to purchase one. It was still in the crate, so they took a few days to assemble it, and then it was shipped directly to my house on a flat bed trailer.

    Battery Tenders - should you use them or not?

    That's the same brand and type I have. I'd test the battery at Batteries Plus or AutoZone, it has probably reached the end of its service life. These things don't last forever despite the use of maintainers.

    29) Show Chrome Short Spiral Antenna Difficulty Level - 1.5 Tips - BEFORE YOU START, TAPE OFF THE AREA AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ANTENNA TO PROTECT THE BIKE'S FINISH. I forgot to do just that and now have a nice scratch. Starting at the very bottom of the old antenna, I tried my best to unscrew it...

    My RT-L first service tomorrow - is one of the 2 drain plugs magnetic? Any advantage to having both magnetic?

    "… where any metal is trapped between the two ..." Dahell does THAT mean?!?! Just buy those magnetic drain plugs with the convenient hex head and call it good.

    Antenna Snapped, need a replacement - recommendations? And Shuddering at low RPM - any ideas?

    I just replaced mine last weekend. Look for a post on “Peacekeeper6 Mod Thread” under the General Forum soon.
