Registrace 12. 05. 2012
I hope to show the beautiful back roads of southern Ohio West Virginia and Kentucky. To experience the highs and lows of ownership of a Can-Am Spyder F3. I want to be able to show basic repairs and maintenance of a Can-Am Spyder. But must of all I want to show everyone all the greatrydes I get to take.
I USE TO RIDE MY CAN AM SPYDER ALL THE TIME BUT NOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED!

HOW SPYDER RIDES HELPED ME DEAL WITH MY WIFE LEAVING ME!
Thanks for the info. Test rode one the other day and am pretty close to trading my 21 Road Glide in on one. I can tell you getting parts, fluids, etc. for a Harley is no cheaper. I watched an oil change video putout by Can Am and it looks way less intimidating than doing one on a Harley. I’ve always paid a local mechanic to take care of my Harley but I’d be comfortable taking care of the Can Am in my own garage which would save me some $$$ over the year. Safe Travels my friend.
I drive truck. And San Antonio traffic,,,,,,, yeah. Let's just say that. 😂
I love your comment on research in the service department. Team and cuso in Houston is absolutely the worst.
Good to know that your expressway rides are as ugly in Texas as they are here in Chicago / Indiana :)
Surgery would be a pretty crazy destination…
First great video showing it on highway and at high speeds!! So you started out with I used to ride my spider all the time, but never did say why you stopped??
Keep safe and ryde your ryde!
I’ve been using Waze for 20+ years. It must work well.
Hi Deb.
The hottest I have ridden was in Phoenix traveling north on I-17. The air temperature was supposed to be 110. Then traffic came to a halt. The Spyder's temp crept up to 150. We were miserable and looked forward to the next gas station exit we could find.
I love the Riverwalk! Especially at Christmas time.
I'll second that TRAFFIC SUX!! ... It takes away the joy of ryding!! The moment I leave my house now I've got someone up my Tailpipe ... Ryde Safe buddy 👍😎🤙
I find riding in high heat and humidity is worse than riding in freezing cold temperatures.
Hi, when you opened the bottle did the seal come off with the cap/nozzle or did you have to peal it off? I just bought a couple of bottles and they only had 6.75 fl oz each and the protective seal was stuck under the cap... Thanks
Bought a F3S about a month ago out of Victoria.First ride was about 104F. Typical south TX summer. Live outside of a small town west of Corpus Christi. I already have over 2000 miles on it and am planning on my first oil change. if you want an interesting low traffic ride take 16 down past Tilden towards Freer.
Get a bun buffer memory foam pad from law abide in biker n cover it with a sheepskin cover. I do 4-500 mile days. Stop every hundred miles for 1/2hr
N a backrest
What pressures do you run on the Kumho (or any other not can-am tire), tire wall pressure or Spyder listed pressure?
In the rear I run 20 psi with an automotive tire. I run 35 in the factory tire or oem spec. I think it's 35 psi.
I recommend changing the shock when you change the tire…
I upgraded that rear shock to a fully adjustable elka shock. Thank you for watching.
Laser alignments sound cool but are next to worthless. Total waste of money unless you have uneven tire wear. The bike essentially aligns itself. Camber and toe in are all that’s needed…
My toe is out, and it's wearing the inside edge. An alignment is a must, I feel. Thank you for watching
Hi RS V2 here, 2011 to be exact. I must have got one of the good ones, it doesn't use oil like you say. Yes, it's getting harder to find parts, but I have a very good dealer who realises there are still a lot of the older Spyders out there in my country. If you're mechanically knowledgeable and have the tools then doing your own service is not hard. Recently I change my sway bar and links to BajaRon, and replaced all the suspension bushes in the front, changed all the brake pads (to EBC), all new tyres. Oh what a difference. There really is nothing wrong with the V2, if you look after it.
I agree. I loved my 2012. The 2014 V twin didn't rev like the 2012. If you can find parts and can do the work yourself, there is nothing wrong with V twin.
CanAm doesn't want you to use any other tire but theirs. It's all about money and they try to scare you. I have been using car tires on my Spyder RT for years and have never had a problem. I have had good luck with Bridgestone and Pirelli tires. I have 28,000 on the Pirelli tires and they still look new and I run 80 to 85 mph all the time on the highways here in Texas.
Which pirelli do you use?
I live in s ohio what dealers did you use when you were in ohio
I have never used the one in jackson, but I would try them. I've used ask middle town and ride one and I can recommend them.
I left the Austin area 2 years ago after 36 years. Not in North Texas and it is still hot. I have to ride in the evenings if I ride at all.
These heat can stop you from riding I hope to find gear to stay cool! Thank you for watching
All the shops tell you they have great service!! Better ask around look on Google. See what their reviews are! I’m looking at a brand new 23’ spyder RT, marked down to 20k flat. I’m new to these, so does that seem like it fairly good price?
I had a co rider who alwasy said "so many roads, so little time" and we just kept on exploring new roads every time we rode together. Plus always a picnic lunch on the roadside somewhere new. Glad you're enjoying Texas roads. Cheers!
I like that "so many roads so little time" I'm starting to find some good roads down here. Thank you for watching ride safe!
Did you move from Ohio
I did I'm in TX now.
Hey congrats on upcoming wedding. Just subscribed today great info about dealers and service. I'm in Austin and there are 2 Ridenow dealers near me Austin and Georgetown and Woods Cycles in New Braunfels, Kent Power Sports in Kyle. Can you are would share any info about those locations. Finally, would you share what tools would a new CanAm Spyder RT Limited owner should have before purchasing one.
Thank you for subscribing. I think it would be easier to make a video on what tools. I will try to do that this month. I've just moved to TX so I don't have any info on these shops.
I enjoy watching your videos and recognize some of the roads. I'm 2 hours SE from San Antonio. I just got a F3s in November and have always thought a good road to ride would be River Rd between Sattler and New Braunfels. I have driven in many times on 4 wheels and think it would be better on 3. There is an overlook park near the Canyon Lake dam where you can get a better look at the lake. Keep the videos coming!
Thank you for the info I will have to look for the overlook!!
Great video. Right to the work without 20 min. of BS. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Phone for directions. Never too hot to be in the sun, but sometimes im a little miserable. I keep my skin out of the uv with light weight breathable pants and shirt.
I need to get warm riding gear now! Thank you for the comment!
I almost exclusively listen to audiobooks and podcasts. Love music but really love being productive while getting other stuff done.
Nice to see a few hills. Nice houses. I've been out on my F3-S for the last 21 days in southwest Portugal. I love the can-am. My favourite motorcycle ever, and I've done 270,000 miles on two-wheelers. Nick
You have put down some miles on 2 wheels. I miss my F3 I miss the power it had! Thank you for watching and ride safe
Wow Nick! Ur a man that loves to ride! Greetings from Idaho!
@@brihal6498 Greeting to you, too, bro.
I have to wear earplugs when I ryde now because of my Tinnitus too many loud bands over the years ... Nice ryde mate 👍😎👊
Sorry to hear. Do you have any issues with wearing ear plugs?
Beanie, loud bands seems to fit my perception of you. Cheers brother! Hope ur putting some hours on the jet skis!
@@brihal6498 👍👍👍😂😆🤣
@@spyderryder Yeah I Absolutely hate wearing them ... But I have No choice mate!
@BeanieBoyMoto I'm sorry to hear that.
I liked the ryde today. Good route to the pond.
It was a great little ride. I'm starting to find good roads to ride. I miss all the roads in Southern Ohio. I hope to find roads like those down here.
@@spyderryder Yes sir, nothing better than the local roads here in southern Ohio. I hope you find a lot more down there.
Thanks for showing us some hill country. Nice.
I hope to show a little more in the next couple of weeks. Thank you for watching
I read your mind! GPS when on trips, music in the background over wind noise and over 95 degrees a no go due to a heat stroke couple years back. Do have a machine with water flowing through the vest (wet vests didn't help me). Nice ride!
I don't have a wet vest with water pumping through it. I do have a cool vest, but I have not had to use it yet. Right now, even at 100 degrees, it still feels cooler than Ohio. I don't have any long trips planned for this year due to the move to TX, but I would like to try out some ticks for staying cool.
Hi. Thanks for the great videos you provide. I will be getting an F3T in a couple weeks and want to do my research. Was there a specific reason for using Sunoco gasoline? I tried to see if you used 91 or 93 octane, but was not able to view it from the pump. My salesman brought to my attention a service station near me that sells non-ethenal fuel and I would love to get your input or possibly you could do a video related to this subject. Since you are in Ohio, if you get to Southern Kentucky, please let me know. Thank you.
I DROVE DAM OL Q129 45 YRS AGO . RIDE IN NOW 4 OR 5 TIMES A YR. ITS THE MOST INTENSE 2112 MILES THERE IS. NO SIDE ROADS NMO DRIVEWAYS JUST UP N DOWN A MOUNTAIN.
High end as a goldwing to it come like my road glide whit a price
Since you are in SA you have already been to Woods Cycle Country in New Braunfels. If not you should give them a try.
how many miles ou got on it now? what oil would you recommend?
Good ride thank you. I'm comfortable on 3 wheels 🛞
laser alignment is specifically designed for 4 wheel vehicles it does not work on a 3 wheel. It's a scam do not waste your money on a misalignment as this is the best you will get with laser. I design reverse trikes for a living and have studied the laser system and it is not a good option.
So what’s other option, just do regular alignment at shop?
@@jeremy8829 yes the most accurate is a simple measurement on the front than rear of the wheels. 1/4 inch positive. One can even use a pair of 1x6x26 boards which is still more accurate than laser. I did several videos on how this can be done
@@endeavortrikes right on 👍!! Appreciate the knowledge my friend!! Be safe!! 💯🦾🙏😎
I’ll politely disagree. Between upgrading the shocks to Elkas and an alignment my F3 rides better than I thought possible. I didn’t realize how much I was fighting against the wheels tracking in different directions.
The thing is by alignment all they can do is toe. Laser is not appropriate for 3 wheeled vehicles as it requires one to move the trike which instantly defeats all accuracy. Toe out can cause mild miss handling but in general toe only set tire wear. The best method is still a set of alignment fixtures and tape measures.
You have a link for the oil change kit?
Hey congrats on your upcoming wedding! Thanks for the great videos too. Ride safe :)
Thanks very much for this video post. Much appreciated. I live in Canada and I’m looking at acquiring a new Can-Am Spyder. I totally agree with you on the premium aspects of this particular ride. The financial impact of that premium label is all the more prevalent here in Canada, which ironically happens to be the birthplace of the Spyder. Having never owned a Spyder, I assume doing research on dealer maintenance may prove challenging, especially if you have to figure out what questions to ask (and hope they are the right ones). It would also help if you know someone who owns a Spyder. Failing that, I suppose one could look for a Spyder related riding group to acquire any associated knowledge. Once again, thanks for the info. It's time to save up the pennies - not just for the ride itself, but for the (self) maintenance.
His advice - (I agree based on all the research I’ve done and people I’ve talked to.). 1) make sure the dealership is worthy. Sales dept but more impotently the service dept. 2) The 1330 engine is more reliable and better on maintenance than the previous models. Dealers may not work on the olds as often, etc. 1330 is a 9,300 mile oil change internal instead of 5,000. 3) the Spyder is a luxury machine. They are like a sports car as far as fuel and some maintenance cost. Oil change kit can run you around $130-150 doing it yourself. They require premium fuel.
Much appreciated.
I just picked up a 2014 ST Limited. I have to admit the paint. worries me on it.,,,
Great video! What mount you using for your phone?
