• 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.

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    If it’s only rotating ~180* or so before binding, I would think you have a bolt head that has backed out somewhere and is contacting something (the block, a case cover, etc). Vaguely recall that being a problem with a few 3rd gen Honda Magna 750’s. I have very limited understanding of the I-3...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Installed a BajaRon anti-sway bar with Lamonster end links this evening. Used aluminum ramps attached to my F150’s rear bumper to get the nose up the required ~24”. Further safety measures were a floor jack under the center spine, and ratchet straps and a rear wheel chock to keep things from...
