• 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.

    08 GS won't start

    Looks like the ground that is visible when you lift the seat may be loose or croroded...fairly common problem but much earlier on. The relays for the trike are under that painted beauty cover just above the trunk lid, may not hurt to check those and reseat them for fresh contact.

    Hi all! Goodyear Spyder newbie

    I wouldn't recommend taking a Spyder to a outside source since they don't have any access to Can Am intranet/manuals or BUDDS link. The only non-spyder service I would consider is an Aprilia dealer(since the engines are also Rotax)with a good rep and for nothing more than oil and/or tire air...

    Bigger Front Wheels

    There was some effort back when these were first released for sprocket pulley and gearbox changes to lower rpms. One of the combo theories included a larger diameter rear tire, there is a slightly thinner tread 275 that will fit the rear rim. That may get you there.

    Master Cylinder Caps

    Yes, and had that paper towel thing myself on the '08 I had until this was brought up on here. I think you can rotate the v closer to the top bubble, too if not already there. When I picked up a 2012 I owned briefly, man I was mad to find it dribbling just from the ride home and paint was...

    What does this brake failure code mean - C1282 - on 2009 GS?

    If its still displayed, try flipping the key on/off 5 times in rapid succession, it may still be stored but usually disappears if the problem it senses is corrected.

    Frunk weatherstrip

    Most rubber stripping and seals is out sourced, it's probably available by the foot, even on ebay.

    Master Cylinder Caps

    In regards to the caps, the recall was that they just made a little slit or v shaped cut on in rubber underside. The cut needs to be clocked near the bubble thats on top of the cap. When you install the caps, the bubble needs to be aft when the cap locks. Even the new ones leak fluid and eat...

    Does anyone ride naked?

    It's fun to scramble on, it got quite a bit of attention at the car track we did the 3 lap parade on and other rides especially when parked. Many repeat the same thing, this version is actually something they would definitely consider now, they previously mentally rolled their eyes, glaze over...

    Does anyone ride naked?

    https://youtu.be/ZE5pWtkrXXo https://youtu.be/bz2QclCtE0o I'm in a few of the drone scenes in the Musselman track video and you can hear my Spyder behind the camera guy while waiting to enter the track for parade and at the end...sounds like a NASCAR!

    Fox shocks and sway bar kit

    looks like good deal, but I didn't research for other results. Other shox are quite a bit more and those Fox work great. Other cheap option is to look for shox from a Spyder RT for your GS, they are more stout than the GS shox and some say too soft for the RT. Some RT riders are going for Elka...

    Cold Weather/Cold Hands

    It's more likely the wind chill that's getting you. Get some brush guards, I have the attachment parts from two cheap cycle gear brush guard kits and some Can Am Quad brush guards. Another possibility would be the Yamaha brush guards they use on the new FJ 9 or the Tenere

    NEW HONDA TRIKE

    If that whole shaft rotates, I would have to have to fill that area with luggage or a protective step shield...maybe since it's a Honda they could call them step wings. I would need that placebo effect.

    What is considered a Real Motorcycle?

    I think it was Henry Ford that called his first invention a quadra cycle.

    Future of the RS

    It's a great time...I may go sensorless next run, that track would be a great place. They do drifting there, too.

    Future of the RS

    Check local tracks, the bike night kinda thing is better for types that just want to wear some gear and try the curves a little rather than running all over following a circuit. They do 20 minute sessions and then clear the track for next group or a simply a rest if the crowd is small. A few...
