• 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.

    Will this tire fit

    When I called LaMonster Garage last year for tire info, that's what they were installing.

    Needed new tires. Dealership said what?!

    Crazy. Although I will say that at 110.00 an hour for service time in a shop that's probably close. BUT, you'll be back in another 8000 miles on that Kenda, and still have the same poor performance from it. Kumho from eBay was 95.00 delivered. Mount and balance local was about 30.00 . 3 ounces...

    People sure are dumb.

    Good question. I'd think a sec, and then probably say. 350 small block Chevy camshaft vs. EVC system, ie camless, using solenoids and either firmware or software programming. If you can find a guy that can repair a lawnmower or tractor, and watches inappropriate websites, dealing with viruses...

    When & what's needed for first Oil Change? 2022 RTL

    By the time someone replies with everything you need to change the oil, you'll probably decide that you'll take it to a dealer. Large socket, extension and ratchet for the filter cover. 36mm. Small flat head screwdriver for push pin retainers. Replacement mirror mounts if unlucky, or Slingmods...

    Review: BIG Shout out to dealer!!

    And in stark contrast to that, 3 weeks ago I called again to the 2 close dealers in my area. One gave me the usual, 'The recall is for inspection. we remove, lube, and replace unless we see a problem." The other said they were getting sprockets on Wednesday,4-12. Great, put me on the list, and...

    People sure are dumb.

    Common sense just isn't common. One look at what it takes to change oil or replace the rear tire on our Spyders is all the evidence you need. Kids today would be out of luck without an electrical umbilical cord and the Google.

    Is there any Oil filter crossover list available?

    I do o-rings every third change. Every change is just a waste of money.

    Fuel Injector Cleaner When/How Much

    Every tank. 50/50 of Techron and Marvel Mystery oil. 4 ounces. For storage, a double dose of StaBil and Bell's Ethanol Defense. I see above Ethanol Free fuel mentioned. Just be aware that is 91 pipeline premium with nothing added. Considered boat or OPE fuel, they don't have to add cleaners...

    What should it cost to mount tires - this much??

    Just did this. $32 for the rear, that included old tire disposal fee. The 2019 wheel fit in their machine. (Center hub is not removable on the '19.) I did have to remove the brake rotor. I tossed in a 3 ounce bag of balance beads for giggles. Took all of 10 minutes. $19 each for the fronts. That...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Don't know. Is what it is. I assume with confidence that riding style plays a much larger part in MPG than the difference between the top and bottom of the 40 weight viscosity scale. That, and the variation in pump swlll we get here in USA.....

    We Owe the BRP Engineers a Lot!

    IMO, the only thing these engineers deserve is to have to work on their nightmare. A simple oil change that requires replacement parts for the mirror, 6 bolts big enough to hold a whole fender on a car to retain an aero plastic piece of tupperware, 5 o rings of various sizes, and that...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Oil is kinda of my thing. The math you did, doesn't work, though, with oil and viscosity. There are tools on the web, one being the Widman Viscosity Calculator, that pretty accurately gets you the cold and hot points for viscosity of fluid blends. I actually simply thickened the hot point of the...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Finished install of Kumho rear tire. 8019 miles on stock Kenda and the center was bald. Adjusted e-brake. Change oil and filter, new o-rings this time around as well. 3.25 quarts of 10w40, 2 quarts of 20w50. Change air filter with factory Can Am. Took it for a spin.

    Short Term Mixing Tire Types: Dangerous?

    It's fine as stated. I just installed a Kumho on the rear of mine. 99 for the rubber, 32 for mount, 9 for balance beads and screened tire valve. Local tire place was able to mount with no problem. I run Kenda car tires, Komet Plus KR23A, up front.

    Fed up with Can-Am service!

    Still no sprockets at either dealer close to me. They both insist the recall is for a remove, inspect, moly lube the splines and reassemble. I'm one step away from being done with CanAm, period. Lousy communication, refusal to honor extended warranty, lousy repair techs. It's a ship show for...

    What bike did you ride to get your motorcycle license ??

    I took my test at 17 on a Honda CB100. I've never had to test again in 46 years.

    What oil are you using for your 1330 engine?? Tips & hints on oil change?

    You'll get a hundred different answers here. Rotella is fine, and it meets the spec for the clutch. No harm in a diesel oil in a motorcycle. Primary difference is a small amount of silicone added to minimize foaming in a HEUI diesel engine so the injectors will fire properly. Silicone won't harm...

    Oil - why would you use Rotella T6, a diesel oil, in your Spyder?

    Can't tell much from a MSDS. the oil they list is 64742-54-7, a paraffin base oil, and depending upon the process is either GRP II, GRP II+ or GRP III. Nothing special about it.
