• 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.

    Whining when backing or rolling back

    Well I got the spyder back today and it looks like the previous owner did NO maintenance to it and the dealership didnt even look at it mechanically wise or the following would have been caught: Did a 2010 recall for the power steering Had really low brake fluid Brakes needed to be greased...

    Awesome Spyder service department in Delaware

    I have to agree, i didnt even buy my can am from them and they were still very helpful. We are having a problem with something squealing when it backs up and they looked up the recalls and caught one from 2010 that mine never had done (i just bought this one monday so the original owner failed...

    Whining when backing or rolling back

    Yeah agreed, might as well get it done even if there is no problem. Im just surprised the old owner didnt keep up on that stuff because to me thats a major but then again I take very good care of my vehicles so i get the most out of them. We are dropping it off today at Noon to have the recall...

    Whining when backing or rolling back

    thanks for the info, if thats all it is we will just upgrade them... but this whining is pretty obnoxious and doesnt seem to be coming from the break portion of the bike :sour:

    Whining when backing or rolling back

    BF just got off the phone with a local Can Am Dealer in my area and the mechanic told him to bring it buy and he will look at it at no charge. He said sounds like the dealer and the previous owner did a number on the parking brake and its shot so it will need to be replaced but said the part is...

    Whining when backing or rolling back

    Yeah thats what we figured we would start doing is leaving it in gear. It was just sad to see people having to literally jump on it to get it to release so we could test drive it SMH

    Whining when backing or rolling back

    haha as far as I know neither myself or the BF has backed over anyones foot yet...but I just talked to him and he thinks its something in the transmission he is feeling. He has been the only one to actually backed it up a good length. We put in a call to a can am tech to see if they have a...

    What is it with some people?

    Funny how I was reading through your post and it reminds me of what I go through with my show mustang. Either you love it or hate it because it walks that fine line of being in the tuner world. Its by no means cheaply done, my wallet sure knows that haha but I get the nasty remarks and I get the...

    Whining when backing or rolling back

    I just got my spyder on monday night and its an 2008 and we noticed that it is making a whining sound when backing up and even when just rolling back on its own (no brake applied). Does any one have any suggestions on what it could be or what I should do? I am not sure what condition the...

    Newbie to Can Ams but not to Motorcycles in general :)

    I have a feeling on the long hauls the can am will be taken and the R1 left at home haha and there is no complaint from me there! I have to admit though I have a friend who has a pretty nasty can am rs performance wise but I know it still wouldnt be able to beat an R1 but as you said it beats it...

    Newbie to Can Ams but not to Motorcycles in general :)

    Hey all, I figured I would sign up on here since I will be picking up my first can am tonight from a dealership. (2008 RS yellow). This isnt my first motorcycle but it is my first can am. I know enough about the can ams to get one just not in modifying them so that will take me a little bit. I...
