• 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.

    May be old news to some, but the 2024/25 starting procedure doesn't need you to wait for the display safety stuff...

    That does not work on my 2013 Spyder ST. So I guess that's not the case for me. ;) As I understand it, the only way around it is to have my ECU Flashed. https://wick-itperformance.com/shop-products/ols/products/monster-fuel-injection-can-am-spyder

    2020 RTL - where is a safe jacking point, and what is the lug nut size & torque value for the front wheels?

    I used a 3/4 inch piece of plywood on top of my floor jack to make contact with both a arms as to not put all the lift on just one a arm

    https://leadersrpmshop.com I order my parts here, they had the best price for this part - $365.00 vs around $100.00 more at other sites. They still had to wait for dear old Can Am to fill the order.

    I can sympathize with those whose Spyders are sitting waiting for parts. I ordered the left side Switch Housing for my 2013 to have when and if it gives me issues, especially the shift button, which usually takes two pushes to go into neutral. It is finally shipping, 7 months after I ordered it. o_O

    Do you change the way you ride with a trailer attached? For safety??

    On my 2013 Spyder, there is a setting for trailer towing. What does that do? Guess I should turn it on and find out. :unsure:

    I Am Amazed no one has mentioned the 'New Look' site!

    Any reason I can't leave the Plastic Cover underneath off to check for oil leaks?

    I did have it tighter than finger tight but guess not enough did not want to strip out the threads in the aluminum engine case

    Any reason I can't leave the Plastic Cover underneath off to check for oil leaks?

    Thanks for the replies. As for who tightened the plug, it was me. I snugged it up pretty tight I thought, or maybe it was because I used this type of gasket (Automotive Self-Centered Bonded Seal/Gasket)? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014S1J4TE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Any reason I can't leave the Plastic Cover underneath off to check for oil leaks?

    I was changing the oil, and discovered the drain plug on the engine was loose just verily finger tight. :yikes: Explains why there were oil drops hanging. Any reason I cannot leave it off to check the drain plug periodically for tightness? I cringe at using a torque wrench on it. Once it's more...

    What do you think of the 'New for 2025 - Spyder Canyon'?

    Yep, it would be worthless on the steep gravel roads in the Coast Range, here in Oregon, where I live.
