• 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.

    If Saint Louis is a predictor... All 4th of July activities have been cancelled. Parade, fireworks, concerts. The local experts are predicting it will still be around literally, 3 months from now. Dagnabbit!

    Where to get a replacement Windshield Arm?

    Hmmm... Can Am has spared the arm. I'd still choose a billet when noboot starts back up. Would you please start a list, noboot? PayPal at the ready here. https://leadersrpmshop.com/can-am-new-oem-windshield-lifting-arm-repair-kit-705013108/

    Comfort seat mix up

    Was your seat being traded in to offset labor costs for install on the new booty warmer? Better it worked out this way. You were able to discover your dealer was less than honest with you. Where would your original seat have gone? Would you have thought of it during delivery with all the...

    Is it OK to change before the scheduled 3000 mile oil change?

    I was interested because I'm into lubricants and your info ran contrary to what I've researched. I'm not calling you out, or trying to be contrary in any manner. If appearing that way, apologies, and I'm sorry. I'd change it for you just for giggles if you were in my neck of the woods.

    Is it OK to change before the scheduled 3000 mile oil change?

    I'm interested in what info you have on the factory fill, especially the 30 weight, high detergent reference. Any other info you care to share? No logical reason I can think of for high detergent, or a lighter weight than recommended in the book. Your using a full synthetic is fine, and I still...

    Liquid Performance Ethanol Equilizer

    Did they use Yamaha Ring Free? That rabbit hole is deep, but if you dive far enough into MSDS sheets, comments, anecdotal recommendations, and the opinions of a million internet experts, it is basically Sea Foam and Techron mixed together. Where might you have heard that?

    Liquid Performance Ethanol Equilizer

    I agree that keeping injectors clean is a lot easier than cleaning them up. But injector deposits can be cleared with the right product and dosage. Techron is very good, so is Redline SI-1. Many FI cleaners use PBA because it's cheaper. Techron is PBA and PEA, with PEA being more effective. SI-1...

    What's the correct oil capacity for a 1330 motor?

    Corona Virus Self Isolation means time to do some work on the spyder!

    Oil change and magic mirrors here today. Motul 7100/Outlaw filter if interested. Show Chrome plugs from LaMonster. Jury is out on those with me. They seem OK, but had no trouble with OEM either. Time will tell. The Gov of Illinois has a shelter in place order and all non essential businesses...

    Fuels for Spyders?

    Pseudo butt dyno expectations. Octane is like rungs on a ladder. You only need enough to keep the air/fuel charge from igniting prematurely from compression or a hot spot in the combustion chamber. Higher octane fuels only help if what you were using prior was knocking and the engine was running...

    Fuels for Spyders?

    90 octane, ethanol free. BUT, you need to ask if that fuel still gets the top tier detergent additive that is in their other fuels. What are they marketing the ethanol free for? Boats, off-road, OPE?

    Is it OK to change before the scheduled 3000 mile oil change?

    Change it. It's full of break-in metals and silicon from sealants. Can't change too often.

    Parts left over after oil change

    Anyone have a close up of their dimple plug? It looks to me from web pictures that a lot of material was removed to make room for that magnet, weakening the thread area. Show Chrome from LaMonster has a smaller magnet and more metal to support the threads. The OEM would be strongest in the...

    Liquid Performance Ethanol Equilizer

    SeaFoam is pale oil, solvent and alcohol. While I'm not a fan of adding more alcohol, it is what it is. It's a small amount, no harm. Works best in ethanol free fuels because there is nothing present to absorb moisture in those. Pale oil wets the back of the valves so carbon and deposits have...
