• 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.

    Cost of Oil Change

    I usually go up on Fridays. I'm waiting for the whole mountain to open and for the crowds to decrease a bit. However, I'll let you know when I'm ready to carve some turns with you. (Must be nice to be retired ....)

    Cost of Oil Change

    Here's what we do in our neck of the woods: Periodically, a few of us in our Spyder group (Battle Born Spyders on Facebook) get together for what we call "Tech Session". We meet in the morning in someone's house, work on each other's bikes while B.S.ing about anything and everything, and go...

    What are these things?

    Check out a JATO on this C-130. Someone should offer a JATO system on a Spyder, LOL.

    Sprocket Final Fix Update from Shawn Smoak

    You DO know that he DOESN'T have to make those informative DIY videos, right ?? He could just say, "F*ck it. I'm just gonna let those Spyder owners bring their Spyders to ME for easy maintenance and repair, and they'll be out a few bucks. Easy money for ME" Just skip the fluff and watch the...

    Exploring Options To Become Certified to work on Spyders

    If you can make this happen, more power to you. I've found that many Spyder owners are more of the "senior" type, and cannot turn a wrench due to their physical limitations. If you are located in an area with many Spyder owners, I believe you can make a few extra dollars servicing their bikes...

    Got Pedal Commander? Any Gas milage loss? Any Extra wear & tear?

    I really need to pull the trigger on Lamonster's Pedal Box ....

    Battery Tenders - should you use them or not?

    Yes, without a doubt. Your Spyder draws current just sitting there. For a mere $30, you can buy a Battery Tender and hook it up during the winter to prevent a dead battery in the spring. I've used mine for my Yamaha Waverunner, Harley and Spyder RTL with excellent results.

    Anyone using Rotella T-6 5w40 full synthetic - ‘22 RTL

    I don't think it'll affect your warranty. That product is highly-rated and is used by many here with good results. I'm currently running Castrol Actevo. I'm usually a Mobil1 guy and run that oil in my 3-Series and Sienna. However, for the next oil change, I think I'm gonna give the Rotella a...

    Do I really need a GPS?

    Although, you REALLY don't want to get lost in places like East Oakland. Been there, done that, and lived to type here about it, LOL.

    Do I really need a GPS?

    No, you don't really NEED a GPS. Part of the adventure and fun is getting lost, imho. I like to ride to the general direction of where my destination is, usually taking the back roads instead of the route a GPS would recommend, which is usually boring. I've found that it's a lot more...

    DREAD! Another Tire Thread! Only because it's good information.

    I really wish Michelin made their Cross Climates in our size. If they did, I'd have them on all 3 corners once my OEM tires are worn .... Besides Tire Rack, I also like to watch video clips from Tyre Reviews on YouTube. They do some intensive reviews on popular tires as well.

    What are these things?

    If you've ever seen the famous Navy Precision Jet Demonstration Team, "The Blue Angels" perform, they have a Hercules C-130 cargo plane nicknamed "Fat Albert" that travels with them. They have installed a JATO system on the sides of the fuselage, and part of their flight demonstration has the...

    Did you keep your bike stock ??

    Still, that's a pretty high number. I was expecting it to be less than 10%.

    Did you keep your bike stock ??

    You'd be surprised. At the latest poll results 8 Nov 2022 at 0938 HRS P.S.T., 1 out of 5 leave their bikes alone.

    Did you keep your bike stock ??

    Yes. Yes, you can. LOL

    Did you keep your bike stock ??

    I believe that those who keep their bike stock think that they can have a higher resale value if they leave their bike "unmolested". While that may be true, I still don't get it, LOL.

    Did you keep your bike stock ??

    You'd be surprised just how many Spyder/Ryker owners keep their bike stock. I'm also a member of the Spyderlovers FB page, and there are A LOT who refuse to mod their bike, for whatever reason. Trust me, I don't get it either ....

    Did you keep your bike stock ??

    Wow, that's a lot. Any addition of a turbo or even a Hayabusa engine swap ?? :D :D

    Did you keep your bike stock ??

    Not including adding minor mods like cup holders or phone holders, did you keep your bike the same as it rolled out of the factory ?? Nope, not me. - https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?129103-Peacekeeper6-Mod-Thread&highlight=mod

    Tires.... discussing tread types & patterns.

    I know the tread patterns of both Continental DWS 06 and Michelin Cross Climate when I see them. The other tire, I have no clue. Very informative and educational post, BR.
