    Lamonster can probably get you a set of Magic Mirror magnetic mounts way faster than ordering the stock parts.
    Best self maintenance mods I purchased for the Spyder. Now you keep the top clips/pins and just replace the two bottom pins/clips with super strong magnets and magnetic plates. So easy to remove and replace the mirrors.

I may just duck tape the damn things on then when people ask why I will simply tell them because the duck tape is better then the garbage Can am is putting out.

    Just curious, I have a brand new 2015 RS-S that is doing similar idle fluctuations, since mine has less than 1000 miles on it and it's still covered under warreny I will bring it to the dealer and make it their problem too. My question is did you remove and bypass the canister? If so how sure are you that that wasn't the issue? Either way, I'm glad to hear that yours is fixed. Like yours, when I'm out riding it up in the RPM's she runs like a champ, never skips a beat.

    I did the same, just the 2 bottom pins/clips, ordered the magnets on line & picked up the rest of the hardware at the local hardware store. Under $20 for everything and about 30 minutes ror each mirror conversion.
    ALL my mirror vibrations are GONE!!!!!!!!!!!! Very easy fix and now very easy to R&R the mirrors too!!!!!

    I knew that the canister because I replaced it first with the bypass and it ran just as bad. Would not idle more than a minute before stalling. After I replaced the plugs and wires it fired right up and purred like a kitten. Not sure if the problem was the plugs it the wires but it was one of them. Looking at the plugs they did look like hell. I also tested the wires for continuity against the factory specs and they seemed okay so I am leaning towards bad plugs.
