• 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.

    Are there any 165/55R15 Achilles ATR-K Economist tire users out there?

    I put them on my 2015 RT-S. I like the feel of them but haven't been able to ride far yet.

    Magic Mirrors.....Life Just Got Easier!!!

    Just got the Magic Mirrors from Lamonster Garage. Took about 30 minutes to install. Wish I would have done this 2 years ago. This will take away the procrastination of the dreaded chore of mirror removal. I have procrastinated and worried over a simple oil change just because of the mirror...

    Camera for motorcycle

    Sony HDR-AS15 Prior to GoPro I used a Sony HDR-AS15. If you want to save money & get great quality this is the way to go. I mounted mine to the left mirror & it has a one-button activation. It has the anti-shake and gives a very clear picture. You can purchase these used for $30-60.

    It's tough! It's just a brain thing.....and mine isn't very big. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow. If it is all about the rain....maybe I will take that day off from riding!

    front tire federal evo/ or achilles

    psi I just couldn't do it! I tried the Evo's at 15psi. I didn't notice a big difference & had to raise it to 18psi. Something in my head just wouldn't let me be satisfied with tire pressure that low. My wife rode it today for 235 miles & could tell a lot of difference compared to the...

    front tire federal evo/ or achilles

    Evo's I just put Federal Evo's on my 2015 RT-S today. Those thing make a lot of difference in the ride! The hold/grip well. Until you change to them it is hard to realize the difference they make. Very happy. Ordered from Walmart online. Mount/balance for $21 at Walmart. I have a Kumho on...

    PowerSports HQ I was in there today. They have a good deal on new 2016 RT-S. They also had a nice looking used 2010 RT. Plenty of stock to look at & they are knowledgeable about the product.

    Maybe I did the wrong thing ??

    Good Luck!! I traded my Gold Wing in 2015 for a 2015 RT-S because my wife wanted to try a Spyder & thought we would like it. She tried riding it. I now ride a Suzuki Vstrom so I can ride with her & Ruby (her Spyder).

    RT brake questions.......

    Parts from BajaRon My Rt-S has 17,000 on it. I got the parts from BajaRon. It is fast shipping and the least expensive way to go. I was having issues with the right rotor & replaced both front brakes & rotors. The job is pretty simple and took about an hour.

    Long trips on a Spyder? When things go wrong...

    Roadside Assistance My experience with the roadside assistance is that Can-Am contracts this out to an insurance company. You are entitled to a service, up to $200 per event, once every 7 days. You must call roadside assistance and they will call the tow. They will attempt to have it taken...

    9,000 mile oil change and service

    9300 service I just had my 9300 mile service done for $260. It is a 2 1/2 hour job. I also thought it was excessive, before I had the service done. It is more than an oil change & I took the advice I had seen here. I looked at the owners manuel & saw there was quite a bit more to this...
