• 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.

    Anyone know where I can get a Blank (Non Transponder Key) for a Base Can-Am Canyon?

    Unlike the Ilco X270, with which I am quite familiar, the JMA ZA-9.P1 Plastic Top Key Blank appears to create a new slight of hand. It will fatten your wallet without adding any cash. In my last association with the IlcoX270, that is frequently reported by average resellers like Ace Hardware...

    Anyone have ceramic brake pads? Any experience with Traild ceramic pads?

    As Ron may have mentioned to you, beveling the leading edge and slotting the pads is optional. I considered that if he said they were optional steps, then he has much more experience than I, so I did them. Starting with a new hacksaw blade makes it fast work, and the beveling was a breeze with a...

    Anyone tried Washing/Cleaning the Pads from inside a helmet?

    Vito, there are at least two of us who know how to save time and energy. Semper Fi!

    Anyone have ceramic brake pads? Any experience with Traild ceramic pads?

    Did you purchase your brake pads from Bajaron? If you did, did you read the instructions that should have come with the pads? Did you purchase EBC rotors with the pads, or are you reusing the OEM rotors? If you purchased the brake pads from Ron and did not receive three pages of instructions...

    Is BRP the only place to buy Tri-axis handlebars? And advice &/or installation tips welcome!

    Not designed? Says who? If you go out tomorrow and play 72 holes of golf and the following day you feel like crap, are you going to blame the clubs, or the course? A Spyder can handle any road or roads a rider can take them on. Just ask the BRP test riders.

    Why does the BRP Oil Change Kit have 5.5 quarts of oil?

    If one removes the crankcase plug, the left one requiring a T45 Torx bit; and the clutch cover, aka transmission plug, the right one requiring a 6mm Allen or hex bit, not a socket; and then lets all the oil drain into waste pan(s); reinstalls both plugs; pours five (5) quarts into the engine...

    Sliding off floor lift (GAH!) - What do you do to keep your Spyder from sliding off the jack?

    Sliding off floor lift (GAH!) - What do you do to keep your Spyder from sliding off the jack?

    What kind of jack did you use to lift your Spyder? I use one quite similar to the one at the link, and the "slick" underside of the roadster is not an issue. I place my jack stands that have heavy duty plastic protectors under the A-arms as Gwolf does as far outboard under the A-arms as possible...

    About to pull the trigger on a 2023 or 2025 Spyder RT Dark - what am I really paying for? Any other major considerations on differences?

    I’m probably showing my advanced age and my innate frugality (bride calls me world class cheap), and I would go for the 2023. Safecracker’s comment about the Zumo XT is excellent, IMO, as the Spyder is wired for a separate GPS as I understand. His second, very good comment is regarding the BEST...

    Is there a 'Full Tank' Triangle? If so, where? '22 RT

    In most all gas pumps I've used since purchasing my Spyder the velocity of fuel coming out of the nozzle and the degree of control one has over the flow into the tank is miserable. I also find it very difficult to get the tank as full as jzeiler's pic shows.

    Battery Tenders - should you use them or not?

    I too have the Battery Tender Junior. Dealership comped it in the OTD deal in Oct 2014. Replaced original Yuasa with another in 11/19 @ 63.5K miles and now 92K on odometer

    Time for brakes on my 2014 RT - any tips or recommendations?

    2dogs is in the bull's-eye! Get EBC fully sintered pads and, if you're willing to accept the price, purchase EBC rotors. Then, if you follow Ron's instructions on bedding in the pads, the brake system will stop you like the Hand of God!

    WTB: 2014 Spyder RTL side cover

    I did the same thing, unbeknownst to me somewhere in TN on the way to the last Spyders in the Red Rocks in 2017. Noticed it at a fuel stop; no chance to go hunting. Called my local dealership from the fuel stop and they had the part by the time I returned home. Sometimes you bite the bear...
