• 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.

    Hey Baja, Nice to see you're still hanging out in here. I wanted to change the clutch but couldn't get one. So I did the next best thing, clutch disks were a little scorched but not bad. The stack measured .060 below the lower service limit. I had obtained a shim kit (BRP had that part) . So I...

    Hello Spyder Lovers, Haven't been in here in quite a while to add to this thread. The shop has been busy and there have been several projects tying up the lift. Finally got to the Spyder and I have much to share about the clutch chatter issue. Didn't want to post anything until I got enough...

    Hello and thanks to everyone for the reply's. Going to change the oil over to the Amsoil 10W-40 and see how that goes. I know it wont fix the inherent cold clutch issue but maybe it will help. I prefer the synthetic oil anyway. It is the cold season here so I probably wont change the oil...

    Yeah, I love that engine as well. I put a set of Dunlop Street smart 3"s on some newly painted wheels this year, going to try them. Tired of that rear tire replacement every year. Went with a Delkevic pipe this year as well. It sounds pretty good. Ride safe..................Robert

    Snowbelt, Thank you very much for your input. I'm pretty sure the oil you mentioned is what's in but I'll recheck it. The "do's and don'ts " link was very helpful, thanks for sharing it with me. That's a sweet Spyder you have. Ride safe...............Robert

    Peter, Thank you for your input. I can only attest to what Can Am has put into the plastic containers. It is the oil and filter kit they spec out for the bike. The part# is BRP 38. I would be open to a different oil if someone knows of a product that has been run without issues. The rear wheel...

    Thanks to everyone for the replies. There is about 2500 miles on the current oil, the bike has about 10.000 miles on it. I was thinking about going to a full synthetic oil which brings me to a second question. There is a significant engine RPM flare in 3rd 4th and 5th gears during a full...

    Hello All, Robert J here, I am posting this at the risk of beating a dead horse. My Spyder has a clutch chatter when first started cold that's pretty bad. It's been to several dealers for this issue and I understand it's a normal condition. It does stop when it warms up. What I have noticed...
