• 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.

    Where are all the tires?

    I had just purchased Federal Formozas AZ01 on June 9th. Arrived in 5 days via FedEx, and had them mounted 2 days ago with Walmart. Here is the link to the Company, and it shows they still have some in stock. I would suggest calling them and placing the order, I spoke with Howard. That way to be...

    Looking for someone to Turn off DESS - South NH or VT?

    Peter, Thank you for the detailed explanation, much appreciated. Makes perfect sense why so many people are "for" having their D.E.S.S. disabled.

    Looking for someone to Turn off DESS - South NH or VT?

    ??? How does a person know when it has been disabled? I'm just assuming it doesn't acknowledge ( bypasses ) the Key Code and affects nothing else. Is this correct, or does it register something on the screen stating that is disabled? I'm curious as to what it does / doesn't do after being disabled.

    Interested in forming Can-Am Ryders Group in Central Illinois/Springfield?

    You definitely got a sweet deal! :2thumbs: I wasn't sure how long they have been selling Can Ams. I purchased a vehicle from them years ago, as they also have their Holzhauer Auto Dealership at the same location, but I never had an interest in Spyders back then. I know they sell quite a few ATVs.

    Mike, Holzhauers is my neighboring town Dealer. How long ago did you purchase your 2014? Just curious as I occasionally checked their website for Spyders long before I purchased mine. Yes, Located in Nashville, Il. 25 miles NE of my home..... and 55 miles ( most direct route on I-64 to Rt 127...

    My feelings exactly! I'm originally from Joliet, now living in Southern Illinois. We riders are here, just many of us are from afar. Someday, our paths may cross. Until then............ENJOY! :riding::thumbup:

    Interested in forming Can-Am Ryders Group in Central Illinois/Springfield?

    Yes, I am approx. 1 hour SE of St. Louis, and Belleville 35 minutes, give or take a few minutes. I too had seen the Metro East Ryders Club and did not see any updates. My only guess would be, due to the pandemic their events have been put on hold. I'll keep checking for future updates. We are...

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Wow, that really sucks! Sorry to hear that. Since you have had to replace 2 Modules, I can see how Mike's advice for relocating the module would definitely be of a great advantage for ease of access. OR, as others suggested, just have it disabled.

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm not sure, I'm just assuming Deanna was talking about anyone in general, that's why I responded in the manner I did. This Spyder world is so new to me right now that I'm not sure what's legal and what's not. Thank goodness for this forum and it's guidance :bowdown:. Still so much to learn...

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There is a motorsports dealer about 30 miles from me that are selling, and I'm assuming servicing, Spyders. Have to watch that "assuming" though. Just not sure what all their "Can Am" capabilities are at the moment. I need to call and ask, just in case.

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have to agree there with the problems it incurs. Disable it and be done with it, from what I have been reading. Talk about having a bad day :yikes:...this would be at the top of the list. They say, "walkin' ain't crowded", but.... ugh!

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I recently watched a Youtube video from "It's Yours. OWN It" showing how he purchased BUDS with Megatech program to disable his DESS Module. He stated he had the dreaded DESS pop up twice. Pretty interesting, although he didn't show the actual Module itself where it was located. So, I had...

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    :agree: And appreciate the "Bump". I have the 2014 RTS. Bought it just recently, so don't know if DESS was ever an issue. Hopefully not jinxing myself, but appreciate the heads up just the same. As they say, Knowledge is power.....well, maybe I should have just kept quiet! :roflblack...

    Interested in forming Can-Am Ryders Group in Central Illinois/Springfield?

    Sadly, it seems us Illinois ryders are spread far and few between. We're growing though. I'm in Southern Illinois, 2 hours SouthWest of Springfield, and I know there is a Metro-East ( meaning St. Louis-Belleville area ) group that I have heard of. Not sure how active they are at this moment...

    Rear Tire HUB removal ..... do I take it off as well?

    Mike, Thank you! I wasn't sure as there are videos showing different methods. And, as this would be my 1st rear tire change, I didn't want to seem uniformed of this procedure taking the tire to be replaced. Thanks again. Much appreciated!

    Rear Tire HUB removal ..... do I take it off as well?

    You are correct, I'm sure I did get the answer I sought. But, knowing myself, I'm not one to stop at that answer, especially when there are good people on this forum to ask who have most likely been down this road already. After watching a few videos and educating myself of how the uninstall /...
