• 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.

    Considering Going From 2 to 3 Wheels

    I have been riding two wheels for 62 years, still have one and ride it 90% of the time. I am a touring rider, still average 23,000 miles per year. I now have my third Spyder RT, a 2020, bought it only because of balance concerns when my wife is a passenger... Each Spyder I have bought I think...

    2020 RT Limited first service

    Labor rate is $85.00 per hour.. The bike was in the shop 3 hours, they charged me 4 hours labor, $340.00, Parts $84.49, Shop supplies $20.00, tax $33.33 for the total of $477.82... I previously had a 2016 RT Limited, routine service was always $250 to $285. CanAm apparently increased the base...

    Less impressed with my dealer than I was.

    Sounds typical of CanAm Dealers based on my experience.. I am on my third bike from two dealerships, yet to find one that cares anything about customer service once the sale is completed.

    October 2020 Maggie Valley Rally?

    I like your optimism thinking the mess will be done !!!!! Upstate South Carolina just canceled their Rally for the second time, originally scheduled for May, then moved to end of August, now cancelled again... I hope you are right, sadly it might be continuing for sometime .......

    Fable of the 2020 RT Handlebar

    Joe, The F3T handlebars arrived yesterday, Friday. I did the install per your instructions, had no problem... What a difference they have made !!! With the OEM handlebars, after 50 to 70 miles I was having pain between my shoulder blades....never happened before on prior bikes I have owned...

    Garmin wiring for 2020 RTL

    Polarity was reversed on mine and many others. If that is the case with yours, Zumo is running on battery only. The Tech probably never checked it. That happened with mine.
