• 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.

    Lost the wire retaining clip fm Brembo Brakes - Do I need it?

    I found the clip! I thought I had lost it but I found it on my garage floor. It had slid under my tool box. Thanks everyone for your help. If I ever need another replacement I will try ACE hardware.

    Lost the wire retaining clip fm Brembo Brakes - Do I need it?

    I have lost the little wire clip that attaches to the torx bolt on a Brembo brake caliper. The torx bolt screws into the brake caliper and goes thru each brake pad. It seems to me that the only purpose of the wire clip is to keep the bolt from backing out of the caliper. I cannot find it in...

    Dealer service calls for new rear tire & brake pads - does this sound right?

    BajaRon has told me that brake pads should be changed when they get to 1mm, although they can be changed earlier if the owner prefers.

    Any more feedback on Kenda Kanines?

    What I don’t understand is why some dealers will mount an auto tire and some will not. I live in western NC and there are three dealers within 110 miles of me that will mount auto tires. I’m lucky there! My Spyder now has 66,000 miles on it and 56,000 miles have been with auto tires on the...

    WTF? Can't find anyone to mount my new Quadtrac tires!

    I live in sw NC and there are three Can-Am dealers within 100 miles of me that will mount car tires on the rear of my Spyder. One in east TN, one in western NC, and one in north GA. Must be a southern thing!

    Zumo 660 too old to update? Help?!

    I don’t know if anyone can be of much help. Many times a manufacturer will stop supporting a product when it gets a certain age. They want you to upgrade.

    Where Are Battery Posts on 2012 RT?

    It is still possible that you have a bad battery. I had a battery go bad after a year although I always used a tender. Much to my astonishment, the tender I was using was for lead acid batteries only and my battery was AGM! So I had unknowingly been shortening the battery life. I had to buy...

    HCM filter replacement overdue - which panels need to come off?

    I have an F-3S and the HCM filter cover is behind the brake pedal. It should be the same on your RT since both have the 1330 engines. Make sure you drain the oil from both oil plugs first or you will have a lot of oil come out of that filter. And you don’t need BUDS to do it.

    How hard is it to replace an Upper Ball Joint?

    Thanks everyone. As soon as the part arrives I will try installing it myself!

    Won’t go in reverse or manually downshift

    It is possible that the problem is with the reverse lockout switch. If you look on the left side of your Spyder you will see the switch that hangs down at an angle. You might have to remove a panel to see it. I have an F3 and mine is easy to see. It has been replaced twice.

    How hard is it to replace an Upper Ball Joint?

    My upper ball joint needs replacing on my right front wheel. Has anyone done this themselves? Is it difficult? I have ordered the parts from Cheap Cycle Parts but am torn as to if I can do it myself or have the dealer do it.

    Lost my jacket liner - replacement possible?

    I have a beautiful Can-Am jacket that my employees gave me for retirement three years ago. Yesterday I lost the inner liner that I had strapped on my dry bag. I thought the straps were tight enough but the liner flew off on the freeway and I didn’t realize it until a few miles down the road...

    Have you checked your manual to see if the heated grips and fog lights are on the same circuit? If so maybe they share some wiring that has chafed of broken?
