• 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.

    Seat Strut won't hold up seat - any non-OEM replacements?

    My 2014 RTS strut for the seat did that. I took it off, got the part# off of it and went on Google and looked it up and got the specs. for it. Then, I went on Ebay and found a replacement for about $15 and replaced it. That was over 2 years ago. Still working just like new!

    2015 RT Brake pulls left & low fluid after fluid change? Ideas?

    I had this same problem to occur on my 2014 RT-S. My husband and I took the front wheels off and took the pads off both sides. They all looked fine. They were worn to about the half way point on both wheels. Put them back on and the same thing occurred. Took them back off and replaced them with...

    Red dust of death on front sprocket

    UtahPete, I have a 2014 RT-S with manual shift. I take a look at least once a month at my front sprocket by driving the front wheel on the left side up on a 2 x 6 and peeping underneath and up by the left footpeg using a flashlight. I am able to see the sprocket just fine and have yet to see any...

    Body Panels and Fog Light Issue

    You may be able to find a used replacement lens on Ebay. If I remember correctly, I ran across one on there about a week ago. Of course, I wasn't needing one, so passed it on by. But check on there. Go on a Can-Am parts look-up and get the part# for the entire fog light...that may help you on...

    excessive vibration in handlebars or is it me?

    Weighted bar ends definitely work! Both me and my husband have installed them on our Spyders...my RT-S and his F3T. He was having problems with his right hand especially, going to sleep while riding. The weights and also a belt tensioner from LaMonster Garage has cured the problem. I got the bar...

    recommended front replacement tire

    My RT-S had Kenda tires when I got it and they started to "cup" early on, even though I had them balanced and had the alignment done. They also tended to wear on the inner edge of both tires. I changed them at 14,000 miles to Continental ContiProContact 165/55R15 and have plenty of room under...

    Headache from helmet

    Something else that I have done to a helmet that put pressure on my forehead and caused a headache is pulling back the liner in that area and taking a razor knife and actually shaving out some of the styrofoam and then pulling the liner back over it and trying it. May take several tries to get...

    RT Exhaust Questions

    My husband has the Akrapovic exhaust on his 2016 F3T. It gives it a throaty, deeper, mellow tone. Not overly loud at all. It's the loudest when you first start up the trike, then it calms down. Not obnoxious at all. I would love to have one on my RT-S!

    Replacing rear tire cost.

    I buy my tire online (General Altimax RT 43) and take it to my dealer. I usually pay about $90 for the tire and around $150 for the installation/balancing including them checking my belt and brake pads. Dealer is in Henderson, NC...Brewer's Cycles.

    I really think I need an F3

    Hey, Monk! I bought your Comfort Seat. That, coupled with the Triaxis Bars, (that were on my RT when I bought it) for me, is the perfect fit. I ended up getting a Utopia backrest since BRP won't sell the Comfort Seat Backrest mount without the BRP Comfort Seat Backrest! (Imagine THAT!) With BRP...

    Wind

    Air pressure in front tires makes a BIG difference, also. Try running around 20 psi. That should make quite a difference.

    Dealer in Virginia area with lots of Spyders + how do you get on your Spyder?

    You might want to check out Brewer's Cycles in Henderson, N.C. We were there last Tuesday (13th) and they had several RTs and an F3 Limited as well as an F3-S on the showroom floor. Good dealer to boot! Good service dept. also.

    Dealer Excellence defined.

    Now For The Flip Side of The Dealer Coin! Had new Continental tires put on the front of my Spyder to replace the worn out Kendas but wasn't satisfied with the balancing job that was done at the time. Took the wheels off ourselves and CALLED Twin County Motorsports & Marine in Rocky Mount, N.C...
