• 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.

    Will Tri-Axis bars fit a 2011 RT?

    Does anyone know if the Tri-Axis bars will fit a 2011 RT? The Can Am website only shows back to 2015, and I haven’t been able to find out any more with searching. Thanks

    What to do with this Transmission shifting dilemma?

    I had a similar problem on my 2014 RT. It would start up fine after sitting for a while and then at cruising speed it would start downshifting all by itself. Turns out due to an error by the previous owner, water had gotten into the fuse boxes and started to corrode the wiring. There was a third...

    I’m getting frustrated with the belt vibration - any ideas to help?

    Thanks to everyone for your input. It’s appreciated. I’m basing by belt tension on the BRP bulletin issued in 2015. I received a message from a member who has experimented with different belt tensions and currently has his tension set at 185 pounds. He added a LAmonster tensioner which removed...

    I’m getting frustrated with the belt vibration - any ideas to help?

    Recall was done in April. It didn’t start the vibration while I throttle down until I reduced the belt tension to where it is which is 184 pounds with the rear wheel on the ground

    Ugh. Another Rear Tire Sizing Concern (Sorry)

    I just had the General Altimax RT45, 215 60 15 installed on my 2015 RT about 500 miles ago. Clearance isn’t an issue and both my wife and I feel the spyder is a lot smoother now. I haven’t noticed any difference is performance but I’m a conservative rider. I was worried about clearance because I...

    I’m getting frustrated with the belt vibration - any ideas to help?

    The title sums it up. I have a 2015 RT SE6 which I bought in April and have put 5,000 miles on it so far. Since buying it I avoided the freeways because of the harsh belt vibration starting around 60mph and up to 75 mph. I don’t have a krikit tension measuring tool and am in no way mechanically...

    Belt tension 190 on ground = how much wheel off ground?

    Nobody came up with an answer Bunson. After much investigation I’m guessing the on the ground is about 20 pounds more than in the air. So just to update. I took it into the dealer this morning and asked them to reduce the belt tension due to the vibration. The lowest they would go is 900...

    Belt tension 190 on ground = how much wheel off ground?

    Thanks. My ride particulars are in my signature. I do see that the dealer removed the old wheel weights and installed new ones. I’m actually familiar with the belt vibrations and this isn’t my first Spyder and maybe I’m just noticing it more because I was looking for a vibration (and found it)...

    Belt tension 190 on ground = how much wheel off ground?

    I guess I didn’t explain myself very well. What I’m looking for is a way to translate the belt tension with the wheel on ground to the belt tension with the rear wheel suspended. So 160 wog = ??? With wheel suspended.

    Belt tension 190 on ground = how much wheel off ground?

    I ask this because I’ve searched and read until my eyes are crossed and not found the answer or formula. I had a new rear tire installed at the dealer and now have a bad belt vibration that can start at 54 mph and continue up to 72 mph (I haven’t tried faster). I want to go into the dealer on...

    Anyone run a Showchrome mudflap with General Altimax 215/60R15 rear tire?

    No problem. Thanks for the reply. I’ll probably just reverse the nuts on mine just to be safe. I’ve pretty much decided to go with the general Altimax 215/60R15 when I replace to stock Kendra that’s on it now.

    Anyone run a Showchrome mudflap with General Altimax 215/60R15 rear tire?

    Thanks Peter. I had to read it twice but I think I’ve got it now lol. I really appreciate your help

    Anyone run a Showchrome mudflap with General Altimax 215/60R15 rear tire?

    Thanks for the detailed response Peter. I find the last paragraph confusing when you say that the 205 55 15 is just too small because you say the 205 width is ok but the 55 is too small although the diameter is 23.88 compared to 23.86 for the 225 50 15. Tire.
