• 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.

    2010 RT 998 won't start - Where to start looking?

    Working on my friends 2010 RT. It has been sitting for 3 years. Changed the battery today. And guess what - it won't start. Turns over fine, but it does not even cough or act like it wants to start. Tried starting fluid, but no help. Where to start? Thanks

    Trailer tie down system, strap over tire - any opinions on this system?

    I would think that running a strap over the front tires under the fenders would be a pain. I just have 2 rubber (Harbour Freight) wheel chocks to stop the front wheels. These chocks are bolted through the side frame of the trailer. I then run a 2" strap around the front shocks and secure it to...

    Brake Failure RT - Can I reset the fault codes?

    I think all is well. Going to be 50 and maybe 60 deg this week in upstate NY so I'm hoping to ride and then I will know for sure. I think I generated the fault code by turning the bike on and trying the taillights with the left mirror off the bike. Seems strange to me that the Spyder would...

    Brake Failure RT - Can I reset the fault codes?

    Thanks for the reply. I don't recall rotating the rear tire with the key off. I did run the bike with the rear wheel off the ground to check the belt alignment / tension. Thought maybe spinning the rear tire with the fronts restrained did something. Anyways by just starting the bike and driving...

    Brake Failure RT - Can I reset the fault codes?

    I installed a trailer light kit in my 2017 RT-S - "Value Acc Can Am RT Trailer Wiring Harness 10-19, 5 to 4 wire converter" I turned the bike on after installing the kit to test the bikes tail lights; the right side was ok, but the left side turn signal caused both rear tail lights to flash...

    Anybody made their own RT622 Space Saver Rack?

    Ok that's what I was thinking. Could you take a couple of measurements. Length of 2" risers , cross piece, etc. Maybee a couple of pictures. I know it's not hard but I'd like some measurements to get started. I would hate to scratch the trailer by using the trial and error method. Thanks

    CB Install where to plug in entertainment harness

    I am installing a CB kit on my 2017 RTS. I can't find where to plug the almost square plug on the entertainment harness in to. I have a factory service manual, but it does not show the cb or entertainment harness connections to the radio. Any idea where this might get plugged into? Thanks
