• 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.

    G'day from Down Under - what to look for in a high milage Spyder?

    You can easily spend more than $1K or more on a high milage pre-14 Spyder that needs work done + parts, unless you do your own work. I agree with shopping for a 2014 or later.

    My Blind Spot Mirror

    If you've ever made a lane change without looking, FOR GOD'S SAKE LOOK where you're going! Don't totally rely on that "blind spot mirror" because that car speeding up behind you can take that position in a split second, and then you're TOAST! The old bikers refer to it as the "Messerschmitt...

    Ramp for rear wheel to make adding air easier

    Mine changes about 4 PSI almost every ride. Less in the winter, more in the summer.

    Something to carry my dog in???

    I believe I'd go with something like a sidecar. Personally, I wouldn't want to be cooped up trailing behind a stinky loud exhaust for hours on end. Try it yourself sometime and see how you'd like it. I'm just say'n... think about it.

    Ramp for rear wheel to make adding air easier

    Yes, good choice. If you didn't know better you'd think it was produced specifically for airing up a spyder's rear tire. Coupled with the little 45-degree digital tire pressure gauge your home free. I balance my FOBO's with the digital gauge to keep my tires at my choice of PSI. And then there's...

    Ramp for rear wheel to make adding air easier

    If these things were free I still don't think people would use them.

    Where is the best spot for Jack placement?

    What can you say regarding this subject? I guess it would be something I heard years ago as a kid. "There's more than one way to skin a Cat." LOL

    Where is the best spot for Jack placement?

    Mine's a 14RT and with the correct tools and knowing how to use them (from several screwups) and with the valve stem at or near the 4/5 o'clock position, I can easily (almost) air up the rear tire w/o getting my knees dirty. I carry a second set of those tools in the frunk if I need to air up...

    Where is the best spot for Jack placement?

    I'm not really sure why you'd have to get down on your knees or lay down just to air up or check the air pressure in your rear tire if you have the correct air chuck. I've screwed around with several different methods and air tools but the simplest seems to be the best. I fill everything with 18...

    Can-Am does some things right, others not so much

    I've always worn glasses for obvious reasons. I ride my spyder with the windshield just up off the bottom primarily to keep the adjusting arm from cracking and breaking. I've become accustomed to a little less slipstream the older I get.

    Where is the best spot for Jack placement?

    Place a short length of 2x6 under the rear shock bolt. Make sure it's long enough to reach both sides of the swing arm.

    Random thought for the day

    Anthony, does that last Xmas ornament have a tone to it or are you just screwing with me?

    Cat Delete Pipe Recommendations?

    Aside from engine, exhaust, ECU, and external modifications, MPG gain or loss however you look at it is pretty much related to the twist of the wrist.

    Cat Delete Pipe Recommendations?

    Try slipping the baffle into the other end. I don't think it cares which end the baffle is in as long as it fits.

    Baldwin Ironworks Cat Delete vs Lamonster's - preferences/recommendations?

    "Wonder if I can just put a new rivet in myself where they're leaking." Yes you can. But be careful and choose the right sized drill to cut off the head of the rivet. You may consider replacing all of them and repack the muffler. 2bros recommends you do that every so often. Remember, rivets come...

    What Communication devices do you use between rider/pillion & other riders in your group?

    I have the SENA system and I've found multi-communication too distracting. The only communication I let in is my passenger (wife), and incoming cellphone calls, which I tell those, "Call you back later. Bye." If it's a serious or emergency call, I'll find a safe place to pull off the road and...

    Baldwin Ironworks Cat Delete vs Lamonster's - preferences/recommendations?

    Rotax built a lot of potential HP into their 1330 but CARB and others don't or won't allow all that suppressed HP to be unleashed. However Monster, Dynojet, and others have come to the rescue.

    Baldwin Ironworks Cat Delete vs Lamonster's - preferences/recommendations?

    I guess what I'm alluding to here is referred to as Brake Horsepower and you are emphasizing Engine Horsepower. If it were possible to dyno test a Spyder with an OEM ECU and then a Stage2 ECU we should see an increase in Horsepower, ie; Brake Horsepower. Am I correct here?

    Starship troopers are here

    I think I'll opt for the VTOLA. They look safer to me, at least most of them did.

    Baldwin Ironworks Cat Delete vs Lamonster's - preferences/recommendations?

    Is it that our spyder's 1330 comes to us from BRP detuned? I understand there's no physical change to the engine itself, but when I changed the ECU something definitely changed the spyder's performance. It seems to me there was some sequestered power somewhere in there waiting to be released. If...
