• 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.

    Any useful comments or suggestions to help reduce back pain while riding 2023 F3-T - Short Reach Handlebars maybe?

    Did the riser just bring the bars higher? Or closer to you - or both?

    Any useful comments or suggestions to help reduce back pain while riding 2023 F3-T - Short Reach Handlebars maybe?

    All good information but my back pain is in the middle (about kidney height). I’ve been riding it for a couple of years and know to relax my grip and all the other usual things. That’s why I think my arms are stretched just a bit too much and I need to bring the bars closer.

    Any useful comments or suggestions to help reduce back pain while riding 2023 F3-T - Short Reach Handlebars maybe?

    I have a 2023 F3-T and there's something in need of adjustment to the "Rider's Triangle" (relationship between the handlebars, seat, and the footpegs). I can only ride about 15-20 minutes before I start getting a pain in the middle of my back. I tried adjusting my posture, but nothing seems to...

    UPDATE: F3-T Passenger Backrest - Need torque specs for T-40 8mm x 1.25 coarse thread bolt

    I've just installed the F-3T passenger backrest (219 400 499) in the pic and torqued all the hardware per the instructions. The completed assembly had a slight wobble at the tubes coming up from the right and left backrest supports. There was no torque spec given for these bolts so I tried...

    Which is the correct Backrest Part Number for my 2023 F3-T?

    I'm looking for a passenger backrest for my 2023 F3-T and need some help. I found the item at Can-Am/BRP and also on eBay but the part numbers aren't the same. The one on eBay is indicated to be new old stock. Is to possible that one has superseded the other but the parts are identical? -

    Do I really need to Change O-Rings at Every Oil Change? Do you?

    Is it essential to change all the O-Rings every time you do an oil change? How many of you do/don't do this?

    If you had 4 days to ride in Michigan, what Must See Rides are there/do you recommend?

    If you ask me, the Tunnel of Trees is a pretty nice ride. Another favorite of mine is the Keweenaw Peninsula in the Upper Peninsula, especially Brockway Mountain Drive. Going to the UP, you’ll also get to enjoy the Mackinac Bridge.

    Anyone know what the Torque Specs are for the engine oil drain plugs?

    Neither am I an expert, an engineer or even a mechanic. This just interested me so I Googled “torque dry vs. lubricated” and found more than a few references that you should reduce the torque on hardware that’s lubricated or has anti-seize on it. I’ve always dried the threads on my oil drain...

    Anyone know what the Torque Specs are for the engine oil drain plugs?

    Hey Steve! Just the information I was looking for. Reduce it by what percentage if the threads have oil on them?

    Anybody used Castrol EDGE Euro 5W-40 A3/B4 Adv Full Synthetic Motor Oil?

    BajaRon, I know this post is a bit old, but seeing that you don't have anything to profit by selling oil as well as your reputation with Spyders, I put a lot of weight into your information. I do see that the full synthetic Castrol Power1 4T is now rated API SN and JASO MA2. By comparison, the...

    Has there been a Can Am Spyder Die-Cast Model made yet?

    Hello All - I guess I've never grown up because I like to collect Hot Wheels or other similar toys/models of my vehicles. Has anyone ever seen anything like this of the Spyder? Cheers!

    Another vote for Blackstone Labs. Been using them for all my vehicles for a few years now.
