• 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.

    Can Am vs HD TRike

    Makes scence I; like the way the Spyder turns. When I catch it right the machine seems to jump out if the corner wanting to go.

    Why did you buy Your spyder?

    health and Like so many I moved to 3 wheels because I did not believe I was safe for myself but more importantly others. As to the Can Am I was fed up with the attitudes of the HD Dealers in my area. Ride Smart.......Ride Safe Tom

    Can Am vs HD TRike

    Recently I was asked, is there an advange of 2 wheels in the front compared to 2 in the rear. Not having ridden the 2 in back models I did not know how to answer this question. Is it stability, easier to turn or just a matter of choice or to be different? This not an attack of one or the other...

    Air Box ? O.K. I'm going to admit my lack of mechanical issues....But what is an Air Box, how does oil get into it and if there is oil in the air box will this have an effect on how the motor performes? Seems like I read somewhere that proper procedures for changing the oil is critical. Over...

    where has the oil gone?

    not clear Sorry Iwas not clear enough. The level after checking by book recommended procedure is none on the dip stick. The first time it took 1& 1/2 quarts to bring the level to mid point on the dip stick. I am curious if this is a natural occurance in the Rotax engine. If so I need to carry...

    where has the oil gone?

I immedatily made a 180 mile round trip, off of my planned route, to a dealer and an oil change. Dealer stated no sign of a leak or internal consumation. Upon...

    Am I Loony

    my tone I realize my tone may need changing. However when we spend over $27,000 for something surely we can expect a little more. When the dealers continue to ignore their customers and the manfacturer allows or even condones this behave we have little recourse but to complain and this should...

    Am I Loony

    :banghead: After about 90 miles my spyder started vibrating. Besides my Dealer I have gone to 4 different dealers. They will not test my RT-S in a manner to duplicate my concerns. They only know how to hook the bike to the computer. They say I must operate the RT-S at high RPM's. If I ride the...

    experiences at the dealership?

    I agree that the manger and or owner should be given the opportunity to improve his or her business. But as a brand new owner of an RT-S with some issues; it would be helpful to find out if the service persons are right. From time to time we all make mistakes. But if they aren't addressed, if...

    Where oh where has the milage gone?

    First thanks for all of the info. I wish this was a simple problem to explain like how do I replace something. The peformace issue is not consistent. It seems to start after riding for a time. I cannot find a way to repoduce it on demand. It is running fine, I slow down for a turn or I stop at a...
