These dealers read these forums and I'm not a big fan of making enemies with people I may need in the future. Therefore, the dealer will remain anonymous...

Okay it's everybody's favorite, another tire thread. So I do my research and finally decide on a new rear tire, the Altimax by General. Call dealer to ask if I can have it shipped directly to them...

Never owned a street bike. My brothers have had Harleys for forty plus years but I honestly never trusted myself on two wheels after some bad spills on trail bikes as a kid.

Enter Can-am Spyder....

These parks are definitely on my list.

Can't sleep so instead of counting sheep I'm counting Spyders. Keep em coming everyone!

Okay I'm no mechanic. Don't even change my own oil but I do believe in preventive maintenance. Did I read here we should be changing out the brake fluid every so often?

Well it's too cold to ride so we might as well talk about tires I guess. Of all the 15" car tires out there I see 225/60 and 215/60 but can't find any that are 225/50 15. So unless we change tire...

Geography has definitely played a role in how many miles I get to ride. We lived in Florida for a while and in two years cranked out almost 33,000 miles on our RT. Now back in Maine I'm lucky to get...

Your Phantom is beautiful. Love the older original Spyders. Oh yeah and WELCOME!!! :thumbup:

Hey sorry if this is redundant but I'm looking at a rear tire for my 08 GS.

Kumho Ecsta AST KU25 All-Season Tire - 225/50R15 91H

The sizes are right but does anyone know how a tire rated for...

The gold trim really pops against the black. :bowdown:

I'm thinking I'd like floorboards on my 08 but then again I like the pegs. Aren't pegs better for screaming around corners? I find myself leaning really hard on my pegs when cornering. I had an RT,...

Never apologize for asking questions. That's what we're here for after all. This forum is an excellent resource and the people are great.

Hey I too have a comparison to make. Bought an 11 RT new back in the day. Sold it in 2014 and in 2015 bought a low mileage 08 GS. For me, personally, the GS is infinitely more fun to ride. It's...

Many of you may remember my story. Left New England for Florida. Bought a new RT while we were living in the south. Sold it when we moved back to Maine but then started really missing my Spyder....

Life is short. Buy it, ride it and don't look back!

Anyone have any experience replacing the ECU on an 08? Specifically wondering if there's a place to buy used or after market parts. I'm told the ECUs rarely fail so I'd be tempted to go used if I...

Thanks Bob. That's pretty much what I'm thinking too. Just hoping for a miracle I guess...

Ok guys need some help here. 2008 GS, low miles only around 17,000. Suddenly lost power and went into limp mode even though the 08 doesn't call it limp mode. Took it to dealer and they have...

Okay how do I say all this without sounding like a complainer? In my opinion it seems like the more enhancements BRP tries to make the further they get from their roots.

I had an 11 RT and now...

Thanks Ron. Any recommendations on what pads to use?

Hey Bob. Eponymous? I had to look that one up! Hope there isn't a quiz.

Not complaining. Love my 08 GS. But the brakes squeak to a point where it's almost embarrassing. Dealer says it's unique to the 08s and that it's nothing to worry about. But does anyone know a way to...

Had no idea a non-chip key was even an option. The information one learns on this site never ceases to amaze me.

Put everyone in the truck and played tour guide today. Lemme tell ya Shore Road in York Beach just isn't the same on four wheels!

So my sister and brother in-law have been here since Friday. Three glorious riding days and the Spyder has just been sitting in the driveway with the cover on. It would be total and absolute marriage...

I knew I could count on you guys. Thanks...

You da man Bob!
