They pretty much all need it. Yes, only toe can be adjusted, but 99% are off. We did 50 last week, and none were in spec. See spydercomfort.com for a list of laser alignment dealers. Insist on a Rolo/Outlaw laser alignment! It's the only one approved by BRP. Joe

Throw another "" on the pile from me!

I have done quite a few and have not seen one yet that was in spec except my own F3 that Lamont did before I bought it. Some are worse than others but most are far enough off that a significant difference is noticed by the driver. Lower tire wear is usually enough to offset the cost of the alignment over the life of one set of tires.

If they do laser alignments on three wheelers they will know what the specs are. Just make sure they are able to reset the sensor with the buds system. Those that do slingshots don"t normally have the buds program.... I have had mine done twice due to wheel/tire changes....(Squared Away is the best)..

dealer doesnt have the rolo setup. manager said they will check w/their
macine before putting wheels on. huh?! if it feels wrong there is a dealer
about 70 miles from me. how much should i epect to get porked, i mean
pay for this from a dealer?

A dealer, kind of near me, charges $160.

I would not pay anyone to do the alignment if it wasn't ROLO. Can-Am aligns the spyders before they deliver them to a customer, but it is not as accurate as a ROLO alignment. Go to the Spydercomfort.com/dealers link mentioned in an earlier post and find one close. If there is not a dealer close check the independents as well, you may find one that is coming to your area.

It takes us about 30 minutes if we don't have too many questions.

I must have hit the jackpot as the 1% that did not need it. Picked up my RT this morning and no adjustment was needed.

for free. cant do any better than that.--irv

Tell you what, I'll check it for you. I will be in Kalamazoo in June. Ride over, I'll check it. It takes a few repetitions to get it right. You can see for yourself if it is right. It's math. You will be able to see for yourself if it is right. No question; it is in spec, or not. If it is, you will know. If not, I will square you away! Around the lake - an easy ride. Joe
