• 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.

    Can-Am Front wheel rim is directional. Anyone else have these?

    No, they are sold in left / right pairs. The two wheels are mirror images of each other. When mounted according to instruction, the blades will be forward digging in on both sides of the bike.

    Can-Am Front wheel rim is directional. Anyone else have these?

    yes, the blade wheels ARE directional and are only sold in Left/Right PAIRS. You cannot buy a single wheel. They also indicate left and right inside the hub so you know which goes on which side.

    Yes, we have a BendPak Ranger balance machine and purchased the motorcycle wheel attachments for it and the tire machine.

    Hub hole size on rear wheels?

    What works well is a motorcycle wheel attachment on a computer spin balancer. Take it to a shop that can balance the tire/wheel correctly.

    Fix Odometer issue - zero-ed with flat battery!

    Your theory is all well and good but real world experience has shown its not the case. The ECU does not write the mileage to the cluster. The CLUSTER calculates the mileage from the speed sensor pulses and gives it TO the ECU. Its a simple counter and is not programable. It starts from zero...

    Fix Odometer issue - zero-ed with flat battery!

    Been told many times that it cannot be changed. I have also looked for it but admit there are MANY pages in BUDS. If you know for a fact it can be done and where the setting is in BUDS, please post up.

    Fix Odometer issue - zero-ed with flat battery!

    Yes, its all legal but the trouble is the clusters in the Spyders are NOT programmable. Not by the dealer, not by BRP. If you replace a cluster, it starts from zero.

    Had a bad morning at my local Can Am dealer in NE Florida, just a FYI.

    That's an easy one. BUDS does not belong to BRP. Its written by a third party vendor and SOLD to BRP dealers and BRP itself.

    Had a bad morning at my local Can Am dealer in NE Florida, just a FYI.

    There is no problem with an independent shop purchasing a license for BUDS and BUDS2. We have them. They are just not cheap.

    F-3 Tire Recommendations

    If you consider 0-60 times measured with my trusty old Vericom to be Butt Feelings then I guess we will just have to disagree. Lower 0-60 times are the result of a better gripping tire. The butt-o-meter has no trouble telling the difference either. its not subtle.

    F-3 Tire Recommendations

    I have said this before, these numerical 'ratings' are user rating of these tires on station wagons (cars and trucks). Has next to no bearing on its use for Spyders. The comparisons are just not valid. They are also not valid across different types of tires. A ultra high performance tire...

    F-3 Tire Recommendations

    We highly recommend the Yokohama tires front and rear. MUCH better traction for launch than any of the Michelin, General or Verdestien tires mentioned and still manage a very respectable 18 to 20k life on the rear. We have sold and installed many sets to very happy customers that return and...

    Labor for sticking parking brake?

    So to rephrase your question, You had a problem with the parking brake and asked them to fix it. They could not figure out what was wrong with it and charged you a half hour labor for trying. Sorry, but NO. You pay a diagnosis fee to find the problem, they do not get to charge the fee if...
