• 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.

    Is the Alternator shaft squeal just a nuisance, or is it damaging anything?

    I can't really take much credit for it. But I am very glad it worked out for you! Success over even little problems is so rewarding sometimes!

    Can I change to the newer style stock wheels on 2014 RS?

    Many eBay listings have no idea what they are doing. It is unfortunate, but not uncommon. For example, take a look at this one! https://www.ebay.com/itm/168097338986

    Indian is getting into the trike business.

    They did! I'm not sure it got much past the prototype stage before they discontinued production. But there were some of them around several years ago. Very expensive.

    Review: The Can-Am Ryker... A Great Ride!

    The Ryker is every bit as much fun as 2 wheels. It's just different fun. The Ryker is a Blast! We loaned our Ryker to a customer who was having work done on his Spyder at the shop. He went to get lunch and came back. I asked him how he liked it. He said he hated it! A little bit shocked I asked...

    Indian is getting into the trike business.

    'Getting Into?' Indian started making trikes in 1931! Here is their modern Reverse Trike (though they are still making conventional trikes as well) They do make some beautiful machines! Though I have not ridden any.

    How do you control Rabbits (without shooting)?

    Sounds like they have legislated you into an impossible situation. But I have some alternatives for you. I asked Google AI this question. Is a laser considered a projectile weapon? Answer: No, a laser is not considered a projectile, but rather a directed-energy weapon. Unlike projectiles (e.g...

    Can I change to the newer style stock wheels on 2014 RS?

    Yes, you can't go backwards, but you can go forwards as Peter is correct. Any OEM wheel 2013 and later will fit any Spyder. I have 2017 wheels on my 2008 GS. 15" wheels give a noticeable improvement in ride and handling over the original 14" wheels which came on the 2008-2012 Spyders.

    FAQ's about BajaRon Sway Bar Kits

    Funny you should mention this as we've had several husbands who have done this on their wives Spyder without telling them. Maybe it's more of a thing than you might think. Those husbands who have spoken to me about it say that their wives noticed it right away and grilled them with, 'What have...

    Is it normal to have a faint burning rubber smell after changing the drive belt & rear tire?

    It is interesting how different people have different experiences. I own several Spyders and a Ryker. Granted, not all have cats. But some do. Not to mention I test ride customer's Spyders on a fairly regular basis (usually about 10 miles unless there is a particular situation that requires a...

    Ryker 900 ACE won't start, starter clicks, but no crank, despite new, fully charged battery - any advice for my next steps?

    You mention 'Daylight'. Are you storing the Ryker outside? What is the rated CCA for your current battery? Just because the battery is 'New', and just because you've had it on a tender and it's 'Fully Charged' does not necessarily mean it is good, though I agree that it may well be bad...

    Is it normal to have a faint burning rubber smell after changing the drive belt & rear tire?

    You should not be getting a hot rubber smell. How is the alignment between the belt and the pulley's? What tension did you end up with on the Krikit? Are you running a dampener setup?

    McDonald's caviar????

    Real apples don't taste the same. Plus you're burning up all those fossil fuels, heating up the kitchen. Dirty dishes everywhere. And it's a lot of work! At Mickey D's, they just hand it to you through the window in a matter of minutes. Now that you mention it... I think I will eat yours! ;)

    Recommend anyone in Phoenix, AZ for Car Tire Install (Non-Kenda)

    Absolutely! Though they usually are not able to balance the rear wheel even if you take the pulley off (which you should do anyway). We use balancing beads. Because it only takes 3 ounces. And a well made car tire takes a lot less weight to balance than the average Kenda.

    Recommend anyone in Phoenix, AZ for Car Tire Install (Non-Kenda)

    Most tire shops will do this if you take the wheel to them. And you'll save a ton of money that way as well.

    10 year parts law - will parts for the 1330 engine/trans still be available into 2036?

    Probably dirty injectors. We see that a lot. Especially with customers that lug their engines. Which is also quite common. We have had some issues finding parts for the pre-2013 machines. But it isn't nearly as bad as the dealerships make it out to be. You have to understand, from their...

    Any experience or ideas on Increasing Ground Clearance on the Canyon Models?

    You are so right about that shift actuator hanger. And it only takes a small bend to give you grief. It would be good if BRP could find a way to tuck that system up above the frame. Bend it too much and you have to replace the hanger. You just can't get it back to where it needs to be.

    Can a Used ECM be married to a bad one without BUDS?

    What Peter said... If the old ECM is kaput, then you don't want (even if you could, which you can't) to have them talking to each other.

    Could disconnecting the positive terminal of the battery for a few days cause any problems?

    Always disconnect the negative cable first. Then reconnect the negative cable last. In other words. The positive cable should always be attached when you connect or disconnect the negative cable. Other than this, I see no issues with removing power from you vehicle.
