• 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.

    Help ...need help with SE5 oil change kit... HELP!!

    I'd suggest you also invest in "Gold Plug" drain plugs. Purchased these for my 2010 RT-S. They're hex head with a heavy magnet end. Much easier to work with. The allen socket on the OEM is almost too small for the torque that some dealer mechs apply thus making it difficult to break free. I have...

    KUDOS to Doc-Riverside

    Spent week end installing KwelMetal air cleaner on my 2010 RT-S. Thanks to Doc, job was a breeze. While I had it apart, removed both exhaust headers and wrapped them in titatium exhaust wrap and changed the spark plugs. Unbeliveable how much room there is to work with the stock air box and...

    2013 Can Am 25" Vented Wnd Screen - Nice!

    DITTO I am 6'-5" with a 2010 RT-S. Purchased the same 2013 vented windshield for my Spyder. Easy to install, same bolt pattern. Works great even at my height. Raise it on highway and wind is above my head with the vent closed. Vent open provides a nice flow to face area.

    Ceramic Coat the Cat and...

    Removed all of the exhaust components (left & right headers, cat and muffler) and had them ALL ceramic coated. Although they wern't done internally, just the exterior, I did notice some reduction in heat to the ridder. Did this a couple of years ago and am very happy with the results. Aside from...

    Slowly, but Surely

    THE BEST IS YET TO COME! Scotty, I think you may of missed something. After all of the construction is completed, you'll have the joy of selecting the "DECOR" portion. Doing that, jointly with your wife and/or hanging wallpaper with your wife, I've found to be a true test of your marriage. I...

    Shorai Battery question

    Put one of these in my 2010 RT last spring. No problems, no tender, always starts, very happy with it. BTW, weighs a LOT less (feels like 2 "D" cells) than the conventional lead/acid battery.

    State Police using RT's

    I'd say 120 without a govenor would be closer to the truth, provided you're going down hill with a tail wind. My 2010 RT can barely get to 100 on a long level run. It's a BIG barn door.

    If you own an RT and like get'n on the twisties, do yourself a favor & read this post

    I think you're talking about the new sway bar. Installed mine 2 weeks ago and I've got to say, it may well be the greatest addition I made to my RT. I have a 2010 and had already upgraded the shocks to the 2011 model and had them set as firm as possible. With Ron's new sway bar, I've backed the...

    Checking oil level

    Thanks As always, Scotty has provided a virtual wealth of information. I think I'm over anxious about the "drain back" issue. I generally check it very quickly, ckeck it again and then wait for the foam to settle and check again. I'm never comfortable with the reading on the dip stick. Much of...

    Checking oil level

    Just a thought but wondering why there couldn't be some acceptable way to check the Spyder oil level, while the engine is cold and has set for some period of time. The reason I'm asking this question is I'm always frustrated with the foam in the oil when checking it as outlined in the owners...

    Updated Windshield Mount Hardware

    I found your post to be most interesting. I wasn't aware that there is a difference in mounting hardware between the 2010 and 2012 RT. Still not sure of which parts you're talking about. Would it be possible to post some pictures of the parts involved? Or,,, maybe provide the part numbers and I...
