    I ended up doing this. Did not budge an inch over 800 miles.

    Good to know Mike. I should be more than good with three straps, then. :thumbup:

    :agree:
    I went through the same thing. We ride a lot of roads like the ones you describe and some of the dips are awful. The top of the bike would lean uncomfortably, especially if those dips are...

    Thanks for the assurances, everyone. I’ll try installing the full set and see how well it works. If the rear chocks are too much to reverse over I will swap them with plain e-track. It should be an...

    Thanks, that is great information. I like to keep experimentation to a minimum. :)

    That was one of my concerns as well. I don’t think there will be any problem with the bump going over them, but traction may be a problem when backing out. I’ll probably put some stair tread friction...
  8. Trailer tie down system, strap over tire - any opinions on this system?

    I'm picking up a 6x12 utility trailer this weekend and would like some opinions on this tie-down system: https://www.etrailer.com/ATV-UTV-Tie-Downs/Erickson/EM09160.html

    It looks pretty quick and...

    Agreed. If it'll run fine on 87 E10, running higher octane is money down the drain. I've got other things to spend my money on, like farkles.

    I've been using nothing but premium in mine for a...

    Whew, all this is too complicated for me! No disrespect to all the fine suggestions, but I like to keep it simple.

    If all I was doing was charging electronics after a day's ride, I'd just carry a...

    1979 on a barely-running CB250. In Georgia, all I had to do was pass the written test and do a figure 8. Easy-peasy.

    When I got married I foolishly let my license lapse. I tested again (Indiana)...

    The ID of the spring is exactly 7/8", but the "corners" of the eyelet exceed this. I ground the corners down a bit and was able to fit the spring, but it is again too small to fit over the gas...

    For those who have done the spring solution:

    Is there a trick to getting it to fit over the eyelet at the top of the shaft? I bought the exact spring, but the ID is too small to fit over the...

    Welcome to the light, my friend. I was on GWs for a long time. It took a little getting used to, but I've grown to love the Spyder way. Best improvement I made was to ditch the stock sway bar for a...

    I didn’t find a video on the Ultra. The instructions are pretty clear and if you follow them closely you’ll be good.

    I was able to get the stock one out at 18” lift. The Ultra install was a snap...

    Same here, but I use Google Drive. Got it everywhere now.

    Helmet, then glasses.

    I too wear a snug helmet and found the temple tips dig in over time if I wear them as normal. I wear a skull cap under the helmet and slide the glasses over the top of this,...

  22. Where are you guys getting these internal Can-Am service bulletins?

    I've seen a few posts over the last few months where folks had posted internal service bulletins. Where are they coming from?

    I've done a few searches and all I can find are third-party sites that...

    Yeah, checked the weights, all good there as far as I can tell. I'm gonna check the runout on the tires/wheels this weekend.

    That's what I've seen concerning these Kendas. I'll wait until it's out...

    I just got the same shimmy. Didn't notice it for the first 1400 miles or so, then all of a sudden there it was. Starts around 45 and gets worse the faster we ryde. Going to the dealer on the 28th.

    It will be interesting to see the final announcement. If the street version has enough range it would be a good commuter or weekend bike. I don't think I'd like to take one on a long tour, doesn't...

    The motor IS working, it sounds like it's not mechanically locking into place. Unless there's another locking mechanism I'll apply Occam's razor here. It's the simplest explanation without knowing...

    My guess is PB motor is bad. There is no external locking mechanism AFIK. The motor apparently locks in place after the PB is actuated.

    But then that's a guess. Take it for what it's worth.

    Dittos to the above. I've tallied just 550 miles on mine and it's getting better. Still not fully in my comfort zone, but better.

    My biggest challenge was the bike darting to the side when I hit...
