• 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.

    Where can I get a 2010 RT parking brake cable? Any other options?

    Hopefully at the end of an aggravating issue. Found a guy at a little scooter shop that makes and repairs cables. He pulled the old cable out of the outer sheath and replaced it with a new cable. The coating on the old cable had come loose, bunched up and was keeping the cable from moving. When...

    Where can I get a 2010 RT parking brake cable? Any other options?

    Update on the parking brake issue The cable will not move in the sleeve without a lot of effort. I have removed it from the bike and have been trying to get cleaners and lubricants through it. A friend told me that Summit Racing might be able to help with this. Any thoughts on freeing the...

    Where can I get a 2010 RT parking brake cable? Any other options?

    Thanks for the help. I will get it put back together and make sure the actuator is adjusted properly. That may be what the problem is. I had forgotten about that.

    Where can I get a 2010 RT parking brake cable? Any other options?

    2010 RTS SE5 My wife's RT has almost 40k miles on it. I think the parking brake cable is stretched and needs to be replaced. Does anyone know where to get one? Can't get it from Can-Am, it is discontinued. Local dealer can't get it either. Parts guy at dealer doesn't think the cable for a 2011...

    2012 RTL (SE5) will not shift

    Front pulley and GPS I have seen in a couple of places where it's stated that the GPS can be replaced without removing the front pulley. On a 2010 RTS SE5, that is positively not true. The most frustrating part is that I only need about 1/16 of an inch more clearance. You cannot get the ridge...

    Won't start - Dead Battery?

    These things are bad on batteries, in my personal experience. My wife has had hers (2010 RTS SE5) for about 5 years and is on it's 3rd battery. We keep our bikes tendered if we don't ride for a week or more. The last battery I replaced wasn't quite 2 years old. She was having starting issues...

    DPS Error

    DPS Make sure to have your dealer check for recalls. I know one person whose Spyder ran off the road and was totalled due to DPS failure. My wife's Spyder has just had it's 3rd DPS installed - $1700. 2010 RT. The steering never felt different, never went into limp mode, but we also parked it...

    2012 RTL (SE5) will not shift

    Part ordered... After ohming out the connector (yes, meter set to Ohms) on the GPS and getting no resistance at all between the pins (the pins on the sensor, not the cable) or pins to ground, I went to the dealer. The Can-Am certified tech was there. I explained the whole ordeal. Not wanting to...

    2012 RTL (SE5) will not shift

    Dead GPS, I think... Pulled off the left mid and lower skins. Unplugged the connector to the sensor. Sprayed QD Contact Cleaner in the connector on the sensor and in the plug on the cable. Put a meter across all combinations of the 3 pins on the sensor, also from each pin to ground... Nothing...

    2012 RTL (SE5) will not shift

    Any info on the ground wire fix? I still have not been able to find info about how to ground the solenoid, or which solenoid to ground. Additionally, there is oil on the connector for the GPS. Could this be an issue in the wiring/connector? :helpsmilie:

    2010 RTS SE5 stuck in 5th

    Last month it was a $1700 DPS failure. Today, it stops shifting, stuck in 5th gear. No N, no R, no E or codes. Throttle also not responding normally. It sounds like it is trying to shift, but nothing happens. What I have tried: Oil level was low, filled to proper level Foot on brake - switch...
