• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Taking a trip to windshield-land - what do you recommend?

    I used UPS once for a delivery; got bit by the extra brokerage fees and now use USPS for a normal processing fee and don't have to pay GST on the extra UPS brokerage fees.:mad: USPS does take a week or more from pickup to delivery but I am not in that big a hurry.

    Interesting oil test report. What say you?

    My '22 F3S has the cold start throttle surge since new and it's now at 10k miles. It is likely a lean mapping from the factory. Once the engine temp starts to show, it is gone for the rest of the ride. :)

    Buying a Demo 2026 Sea to Sky

    If you start by doing a ride height adjustment it changes the toe in and toe out, if the ride height is set first to where the factory spec says it should be the toe in/toe out will most likely be within spec (because in most cases the ride height has been set for a lighter rider from BRP)...

    Buying a Demo 2026 Sea to Sky

    Once you buy the Spyder you may find that it does not need a wheel alignment as stated above, it may need a simple ride height adjustment with the riders and gear on board on the front shocks only as once adjusted up on mine the skittish driving went away and I haven't had an alignment and am...

    Buying a Demo 2026 Sea to Sky

    The demo should be the same as the one off the showroom floor. If you're worried about alignment, check the rims carefully for curb rash. Free oil change as suggested and a much better negotiated price hopefully, but not a given? ;)

    Is anyone else Running out of fuel like this?

    If your engine quits on low fuel you are not doing your fuel pump any good as it is cooled by the gasoline. Far better to fill up early until you sort things out, JMO;)

    What is the 'ideal' Ride Height? Should the front shocks be biased toward more clearance or less?

    The shop manual suggests that the ride height should be: I bought a digital shop manual and on page 292 it has a short description for adjusting spring preload. Make sure the vehicle is on a level surface, normal cargo load (rider, passenger and bags). Measure the distance between the upper...

    First post, long time lurker - Will Elka Stage 2 shocks and a beefier sway bar make appreciable improvements to cornering?

    Yes

    How common are 2021 RT Ltd air suspension failures?

    $27500 at the dealership probably includes the following: consignment fee 10-15% 27500 x .85=$23375 it may also include GST and PST at the dealer not knowing where you live $23375 x .95= $22,200. An offer of $22K or less directly to the owner will likely get you a bill of sale and that may be...

    How common are 2021 RT Ltd air suspension failures?

    Bottom line is what is the bike worth to you? If it is at the dealership ask them for the sons name and you should be able to save yourself several thousand dollars which would be the consignment fee. It is off warranty so you have to decide risk vs reward on buying a new(er) one.

    How to DIY - Install a Shad 44 top case on a 22 F3S

    I ordered the Shad 44 top case and support brackets from Shad Canada, there is also a Shad USA and others that sell direct. I chose the Shad 44 because I didn't want or need anything too bulky since I ride solo and I don't like the look of the Shad saddlebags. I use them only on an over night...
