• 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.

    Gold Canyon Az to Lake Stevens, Wa

    Glad you made it home safely. I had the exact same thing happen to me only the dog was German Short Hair. Had to replace the left front fender, hood, nose piece a chrome wing, maybe some other pieces. I can't remember now. About $3500 back in 2017. I really enjoyed your pictures and the trip...

    2013 SM5 - Clutch not working after oil change - any ideas?

    How did you flush your system if the lever won't pull? If the master cyl/slave cyl work enough to actually push out the old fluid and air, then you have a clutch release problem and you will have to get into your clutch to see what is broken.

    Happy Birthday

    My Birthday was yesterday Aug11. My brother came over for dinner,BBQ Beef, baked beans, and corn on the cob. A couple of the kids came over Saturday with little grandkids and we went to the state park. They had a blast playing in the lake. It was a great birthday weekend. Now 78.

    Looking at buying - If you are over 80 y/o and ride a Spyder, raise your hand...

    At 78, I still ride my Spyder regularly. Go for it. You will only regret the things you don't do.

    Anyone got a valid reason for the High Torque settings on the brake rotor?

    If you really want to know the "why" of the high torque you will need to ask the engineer who wrote that spec. Nobody here knows what was in their mind. As to the bolt replacement, I have heard that since there may be a possible stretching issue, they want new bolts to avoid that. Having removed...

    Manufacturing Kenya tires at its best!

    That is a scary place. But I didn't know Kendas were made in India?

    When you put your Spyder up on 3 ramps, do you lose the back one?

    Hi flapjackandbeans, sorry for your confusion. The picture in #14, the diagram in # 16 and Peter's explanation in #17 should pretty well clear it up for you. If not let me know.

    What have you done for Heated Gear Wiring, inc Location - '20+ RT's?

    The 1330 alternator was designed with a higher output in mind. This is one case where BRP learned from their experience with the 998, which is electrically underpowered. The 1330 has plenty of extra power for your electrics. Someone will post what that output is, I don't remember myself.

    Another Oil Thread (sorry!) - Has anyone tried using Mobil 1 10W40?

    Bill, BajaRon sells the Amsoil and gives a great price on it. I know others are using the Rotella. I use it in my Spyder, but I am also changing it out at 4500 miles. From what I have read, I don't think it will hold up for the 9300-mile intervals recommended for the 1330 engine. Remember, mine...

    Another Oil Thread (sorry!) - Has anyone tried using Mobil 1 10W40?

    Look for the JASO MA2 Bill. That will make sure it will work for your clutch.

    What have you done for Heated Gear Wiring, inc Location - '20+ RT's?

    My Cord came with a 15amp fuse. I assume that is why the desire for a direct connection.

    Front seat support piston failed again - I made a replacement rod!

    Thank you John for a most generous offer. I fixed my seat by ordering a heavier duty shock from McMaster Carr. It works great even with the back rest and the heavier custom seat. No I don't remember the #, that was 5 years ago, and I didn't keep a record. Search the archives, that is where I...

    Need to modify driver's seat on 2023 RTL - anyone made theirs comfortable?

    No it did not because the instructions Dave included showed how to cut a pocket in the foam so you sit the same. He also included a razor knife.

    Refusal to look at my 2015 RT-S by a Can Am Dealer!

    Yes, I went thru this when a dealership I have used and trusted called to ask if I needed any service done for the coming riding year. I asked for a price quote on some work, and she asked for the year of my Spyder and when I told her, she answered that they didn't work on Spyders 10 years or...

    Is Lamonster Windshield Cleaner still available? What else won't hurt the windshield?

    Yamaha Spray Wax and Detailer. Great stuff; makes my Spyder and windshield shine. It does a great job of removing bugs and dirt and grime. I have been using it on my bikes for 30+ years and never had it cloud or scratch a windshield. My Spyder is 12 years old, has the original windshield, and it...

    DID Make My Mind up! - Big D's Mighty Red Baron has Arrived!

    Hi Derek. Welcome to the insanity. After an accident at 64, I was no longer sure of my balance or my situational awareness, but I was not ready to quit riding even after 50+ years. My friend was leaving riding and selling his trike at a really good price, so I bought it and rode it for 4 years...
