Thanks I kind of eliminated the rear air, because I haven't felt the bike rising or lowering. If it stabilization which would not move the rear suspension up or down then this might make sense.

Hunting It is a sound
Hunting. It is a sound of movement coming from the rear, my guess the brake. Sounds like the electronic brake trying to seek a position. So hunting would be the piston in the...
Been out of commission for most of the summer. Took the bike out for an up and down the street. When at a stop, it sounds like the rear brake is hunting, not constantly .
Any thoughts

The above picture came from Can-Am Parts House (graciously provided by RayBJ in a different thread). Why I ask the question since Can-Am Parts House says they are "Not available for this...
Where do you guys get your suspension parts other than Can Am?

Highlight below. What do you need the BUDS system for to do this replacement. Once you have access to the steering mechanism, you imply it is not a simple unbolt and replace job.

Does 2015 RT have what I call a sway bar?
What does Can Am call the Sway Bar ?
If yes does the links to the sway bar wear out. I have 86,000 miles on my RT
If I need to replace is there a better...
It appears there is an upper and lower U Joint on the steering column. Based on previous comments about the play in my steering this might be a likely candidate that is causing the problem
How big...
I thank you all for the responses.

Upon recommendation of BlueKinight911, I mounted a RIKEN rear tire. Have a little more than 1500 miles. Been thru torrential rains. Handled that with confidence that they were not gonna lose their...
I am either experiencing some play in the steering or imagining it and it has always been there. After all I am getting old. At a stop the steering has a slight play when moving the handle bars. A...
Can Am must have multiple sources of manuals. This comes from the Shop Manual
This instructs go at least 9 miles then let it idle for 10 minutes

The Oil Change Kit from Can AM comes with 4 regular quartz size and then a small one 16oz. My last oil change same kit when I filled it the Spyder only took half of this smaller bottle. So on the...
My dealer kinda sorta (in a low voice) said he thinks Can Am stuff is GM Dexcool, knowing Can Am doesn't make the stuff. So I have topped up my antifreeze with the Dexcool without incident.

Safe trip to Joisey. Was down in the Toms River area in early July gathering up places for my Grand Tours and even visited my sister

Replaced my Kanine rear tire with a Riken 215/60R15 RI RAPTOR HR tire. I thank BLUEKNIGHT911 for his guidance and recommendation.
The Kanine lasted 15108 miles. Installed both front and rear at...

Just placed my order for the above tire. Vredestein Quatrac weren't available until November and I will wear out my Kanine rear tire before then. So far I have 14869 on the Kenda Kanines and the...
Wondering if the 1330 engine adjusts based on the octane you use like cars do. Think car engines will retard or advance based on the Octane it senses. Something like that. I am not an expert on this,...
