• 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.

    Random thought for the day

    Loran bombs were not as accurate as the missiles flown through windows via GPS in the Middle East. However it's repeatably in taking recon photos along the Ho chi Minh trail was really good for the day.

    Random thought for the day

    Pictures of crew. Electronic tech and chief ET, XO, and CO in top picture. I was on Loran Watch at the time and my lid was back in the barracks. Guy on my right and I are the only two remaining alive in the top photo.

    Random thought for the day

    The USCG Loran C station was 4 miles off the end of the Utapao AB and 4 miles to the side. The B52s rattled our buildings every morning once they got operational. Picture is from top of the 625' Loran Tower look over at UP, taken in September 1966. Sattahip area was just getting started with the...

    Random thought for the day

    Spent a year in Thailand in 1966-67, in the US Coast Guard, building and operating a Loran C navigation station. The cook's Thai helper was just "Sam". Great guy and our morale booster.

    Broken top box arm and tight seat spacers on a 2016 RT Limited - any ideas/assist?

    I believe the arms are part of the inner cover, part number 708300678. $89.99 https://www.canampartshouse.com/oemparts/a/cam/659814c3d03f8a538e4be585/luggages-package-standard A better image. https://www.canampartshouse.com/oemparts/a/cam/500b5a52f8700228ecf59cca/luggages-rear The outer...

    Spyder Not Starting, but starter works when terminals jumped - Where do I go from here?

    One could leave the key in a Spyder and go for an extended dinner out, and 99.99% of people walking by it could not start it and drive it away! Park nose in and it would go to 99.999%.

    Forever mystified by Can Am's lack of style...

    What I do not understand is the difficult to maintain mat finish on some of the colors. Is it just cheaper to manufacture? And I also do not like dark models, that is why I have been adding chrome pieces and wheels to my first 2018 Asphalt Grey one. The newest one is a chrome model. Cars and...

    After some True Can-Am insight - will I be making a huge mistake buying the RTL or F3?

    That does not look like the normal cover for the Zumo XT/XT2???

    Yes it’s the age old tire question… What's currently the best replacement?

    As I said in another thread, I loaned my spyder to my riding buddies 60 year old daughter who is in town for a week. I had cataract surgery on my right eye yesterday and would not be able to ride anyway. Well, she says she is not giving it back!!! When home in Colorado she rides his blue 2018...

    Interesting conversation at the gas pump - asked why I chose to ride a Spyder rather than 'a real motorcycle'?!

    We named our first 2018 "The Hook", as people always came up and ask about it. All three will carry on with the Hook on the front.

    Is it plug-n-play to fit US Spec headlights to my UK Spec Spyder? Or are there mods needed?

    Hey, my riding buddies daughter is here for a week and I have eye surgery so she is going to be riding it. I forgot to tell her that freeway on ramps it blast though the gears at full throttle!

    Is it plug-n-play to fit US Spec headlights to my UK Spec Spyder? Or are there mods needed?

    Like the steering would be on the wrong side. 🤓

    Sliding off floor lift (GAH!) - What do you do to keep your Spyder from sliding off the jack?

    Question, what was the reason to jack it up? What service or part replacement were you going to do?

    Any ideas where to look for whatever this is with my 2016 RT's Power steering???

    I agree on cleaning that main frame ground as Peter noted. Fixed an issue I was having with my Champagne/first 2018 RTL.

    See you next year!

    "End of February"? Do you mean every four years, which is still two years away?

    Why so many Rykers for sale?

    Calling a 1000 pound three wheeled single rear wheel drive vehicle an off road vehicle is more or less a misnomer! What goes up has to come back down at some point. VVV This is an off road vehicle. VVV

    Should I get a 2014 now, or wait and get a newer model? Any 'gotta have' features?

    13-19! Much better brake pedal placement also. 2019 RT chrome wheels are the best looking wheel Can Am ever put on the RT and some F3's.

    I have a dead 2023 RT, no electrics except lights - any thoughts?

    The Spyder has the highest parasitic battery draw of anything I have ever owned, based on the capacity of the battery spec's for it. My Kawasaki KRX 1000 SxS could sit without a tender for weeks on end and fire right up. The Spyder left for weeks not on a tender is not going to start. One could...

    Any feedback on this Inexpensive Bluetooth Intercomm for all helmets?

    Appears the $17 is for a single unit. Amazona also has a Y10/V10-2X for $25. AI Overview The main difference is that the BikerVision V10-2X is an enhanced version of the V10, often featuring better connectivity (like Bluetooth 5.0 for stable connections), improved audio quality (sometimes with...
