• 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.

    Iconic aeroplanes!

    Drove the Spyder to our local airport today. The local AmCar Norway Club had an event and advertised an airshow as well. I walked around and there were a lot of different cars, new and old. Since I live less than 8km (direct line) from the airport, I hurried home and set my DSLR camera up with a...

    Do new brake pads work weakly at first?

    Hi all! Back with final update - I did the brake sequence you suggested today, when the weather was good enough finally. Three times to 90 km and slammed the brakes hard, continued on a little round trip, and the brakes are now 100% good. :ohyea: Thank you to all for the good advice :thumbup:

    Do new brake pads work weakly at first?

    Hi JayBros! The pads are from a local dealer that gave up on Can Am On-roads and since we live in a coastal town, just continued to sell Sea Doos. They did a little work on my RT in the past and gave me their entire stock of brake pads for the Spyder. :2thumbs: Tomorrow I will find a place and...

    Do new brake pads work weakly at first?

    That I will do Pegasus :thumbup: And hopefully have them working better for the planned ride with some friends tomorrow afternoon. I have also heared some people give the pads a brush over with a steelbrush before installing, any thoughts ?

    Do new brake pads work weakly at first?

    Hi friends! I changed all the brake pads today on my 2012 RTS, and after getting the wheels back on the ground, I took a test drive in the neighbourhood. Pedal felt fine, but the old pads stopped the bike better. So my question is, will the brake effect be better after a while, or is there...

    Battery Dead, seat not opening - does it need power to open?

    Hope you recover 100% Sledge ! I just had a thought about the seatlock. I don't know if it is doable, but I reckon people in here will tell us. I just saw a seat for the RT with a fuel door that allows you to fuel without having to lift the seat, it also has a lock and key. What if one of those...

    Beautiful day for a ride! Just don't get caught speeding in Norway!

    Thank you for info ED! Think I will just drop the idea and be more aware when driving, especially in 50km and lower zones.

    Beautiful day for a ride! Just don't get caught speeding in Norway!

    I would have to investigate a bit to find out! Do they detect the laser-guns that the cops use?

    Beautiful day for a ride! Just don't get caught speeding in Norway!

    In the back of my head I knew they probably was out somewhere looking for targets going to the event. In todays paper I read that 48 people got pulled over and fined in traffic control yesterday, so I was not alone. Next event I will pay more attention to the speed for sure.

    Beautiful day for a ride! Just don't get caught speeding in Norway!

    I should have stayed home! :cus: Was out enjoying my RTS and the twisty roads, weather was perfect, warm and sunny! :thumbup: Thought I would swing by a "Bikes, cars, and coffee" event that is held at a nice little diner every Wednesday during the riding season. With just 10 minutes left of...

    What do I need for Brake pad replacement?

    In the video you see him pry the old pads on front wheels appart with a flat screwdriver, that will compress the pistons. Rear piston is screwed in by using a tool. As I recall from last time I did this, I took reservoir caps off. Just keep the surroundings clean so no dust or stuff goes in the...

    Happy Birthday

    Wonderful day today, sunny and a mild breeze. Family came to celebrate my 64th today, I fed them various stuff from the :bbq:, poured them coffee and soda, scooped ice-cream for the grandkids. Now they've all gone home and I'm in my comfy chair with my feet up enjoying a drink from the Martini...

    Do Spyder Drive Belts age or wear out?

    My 2012 RT has 15k miles on it and at the end of last season my belt gave in. I must admit I was not clever doing inspections on the belt, but suddenly about 6 inches of "teeth" peeled off while accelerating from a parking area and onto the road. So I reckon the rubber gave up due to old age...

    Is it OK to adjust belt with rear wheel off the ground, in gear, & running?

    I will make a stop by your webshop and order one, if not my local dealer has one in stock.:thumbup: As for my previous belt, it lasted allmost 12 years. I was probably just lucky ;)

    Is it OK to adjust belt with rear wheel off the ground, in gear, & running?

    Well, I have never had a tension tool of any kind, but sitting behind the bike and adjust tracking is easy. When I replaced the drivebelt last season I took the RT to the dealer for service and had them do a proper belt tension for the new belt. All the other times I have fidddled with the...

    Is it OK to adjust belt with rear wheel off the ground, in gear, & running?

    I have set the tracking this way several times and it works fine. Tension I have left to the dealer as I had to get a new belt at the end of last season. Just remember to secure the Spyder while you work on it!
