• 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.

    cracking and popping nose

    An over tensioned drive belt may have used up the rear bearings. There is a Mod out on lessening the tension on that belt. It seems the factory had way too much tension. Ken krb1945

    Rear brake squeal

    Probably not getting a full release on the parking brake. The linkage has a tendency to bind when not lubed regularly. We had the same problem on all three units. I used silicone spray on the mechanical lingage on both sides of the system. "Do not" spray the silicone on the rotor or pads. Only...

    12,000 mile service parts

    It is definitely important to change the brake fluid. Brake fluid will absorb moisture from the air. Although we think of our brake systems as being sealed they are not completely air tight. Usually northern tools or harbor freight has a pretty good brake fluid changer. They are the type units...

    T-boned RT

    Glad to hear you are ok. Some one may have already mentioned this but be sure to check the front wheel bearings on both sides since it was getting slid sideways with the stress being put on the opposite side. Ken krb1945

    What... No Parades for US???

    Now matter how "clean cut" we are, no matter how well we dress and no matter how much we sacrifice to preserve this great country to the elitists we are still a bad influence. I'd be willing to bet if "she" was broke down on the side of a deserted highway "she" wouldn't hesitate to let us fix...

    My Limp Home Problems?

    That is part of the reason I replaced the factory tag light with a Pep Boys factory made LED stop/running light assembly. All I did to the light assy was add a white 3 led strip for a tag light. The 3 led strips are available at JC whitney. No problems since. Ken krb1945

    Cluster glich

    You may want to replace the Tyco relays with MasterPro or BorgWarner relays. I had a similar problem early last year but after replacing the relays... the problem was replaced with "Correct Operation" and "No Limping Home Modes".:2thumbs: Good luck with your trouble shooting. Ken krb1945

    Gas mileage a warranty issue?

    At first we were first disappointed with the mpg's on the spyders, we have 3, all run regular gas with up to 10% methanol. All get better than 32 even the SE5 that "she who must be obeyed" rides. And the SE5 gets ridden pretty hard. She has a heavy throttle hand. I said we were disappointed...

    Exhaust pipe wrapping

    Betty Blue Yes... the wrap helps with the heat on the stomach, legs and feet. On the longest pipe which is from the front cylinder I used a double layer on all 3 of our spyders. I did some temperature tests before and after and as soon as I can find the link I will post it for you to see. Ken...

    Exhaust pipe wrapping

    I have wrapped four as of this date and I've used a little over 3 2" x 50 rolls. But I wrap with a 75 % overlap. On the long long pipe from the front cylinder I also do a second layer all the way to the "Y" pipe connector. This helps subdue the heat in that leg area. When the weather gets a...

    abs fault, twice, blew 10amp running light fuse twice, hit the taillights to turn on

    Good to hear you got it all cleared up and that you found a good mechanic to fix it. I for one think there are tooooo many whistles and bells on the spyder. It seems the "powers that be", ie: government, want to take all the fun out of riding them. What happened to the good old days when you...

    Maserati SPYDER Chip

    If you don't ask questions about things you don't know "you won't ever learn anything". The reason I ask the question is because I saw this chip on another can-am spyder site being advertised for the Can-Am spyder. I guess the manufacturer didn't know it wouldn't work on a SE/SM5 either. You...
