• 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.

    Diesel engine oil in a gasoline engine? Check here.

    So many people are extolling the benefits of Shell Rotella T6 in their motorcycles that I had to find out more. (By the way, I found it at Walmart last week and the SN rating is no longer on the bottle. It has ratings of CK-4 and JASO MA2.) Here's what I found...

    Anyone have any idea where this Mystery Bolt belongs?

    It might help with the solution if you could provide the thread size and length. Also, is it possible it came from the trailer and not the Spyder?

    Difficulty with the reverse button

    I agree about not using the original WD-40; but the brand WD-40 now has different formulations under the same branding. I would use this though: https://www.homedepot.com/p/WD-40-SPECIALIST-11-oz-Silicone-Quick-Drying-Lubricant-with-Smart-Straw-Spray-300012/204500174 And, yes, I do have some on...

    Here's a good video to show you the procedure for replacement; you might also want to consider the replacement they use in the video: "Can-Am Spyder RT LED Headlight Conversion Kit" I used the video to help me run a usb charging cable from the frunk to the dash. Good luck with your project!

    Halogen lamp problem - where do you get them? How do I fit them? + more?

    I hope this reply isn't too late for you. If it is, maybe it will help someone else that's going through the procedure. Slingmods has a YouTube video that will guide you through the process. It's located here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BDPuf6_SBo I used the process to run USB cables...

    Learn from my mistake!

    I use a Battery Tender extender cord with my Battery Tender. When I connect it, I leave the frunk lid ajar and drape the cord over the right side mirror and over the throttle grip. I can't rev the engine without being reminded that the charger is still connected!

    The .... NEW ... Quatrac tire

    Fuses - does anyone have sources for Can-Am fuses??

    Spyder RT fuse dimensions I just went to my Spyder and took physical measurements of my fuses. The JCASE type appear to be the longer ones at 27 mm long. The blade type measurements match the "Mini fuse" size as shown in the image from Wikipedia. FYI, there are 5 spare blade type fuses...
