• 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.

    998cc Can anyone with 2013 ST Ltd shop manual copy pages for me?

    Thanks. I downloaded it and looked at all the pictures and it doesn't show any washers in any part that I pulled off to change the rear tire. I think someone added a couple extra washers when they had the bike apart to add the trailer hitch.

    998cc Can anyone with 2013 ST Ltd shop manual copy pages for me?

    Does anyone have a manual that they could copy a couple of pages out of for me? I changed the rear tire out on mine today and when I pulled the caliper off a flat washer fell out. I have looked at several OEM parts sellers illustrated parts breakdown (IPB) pages show and can't figure out...

    ST with low Oil and shuddering on take-off - is this normal? Other ideas?

    I went to the shop yesterday and looked the thing over. I had forgotten about the brake fluid issue, I looked it over and the front chamber the float was stuck to the top and rear was about two tablespoons low on fluid. It was well within the full and low mark on the chamber. Talk about...

    ST with low Oil and shuddering on take-off - is this normal? Other ideas?

    Nothing to do with the parking brake, it shudder before it starts moving, nothing to do with the tires it shudders before it moves. As far as your other suggestion, absolutely no way I'm going to loan my Spyder, Kubota tractor, 51 Chevy truck, 68 Nova, XP1000 RZR, either of my Honda motorcycles...

    ST with low Oil and shuddering on take-off - is this normal? Other ideas?

    I have been looking through the forum posts. We have a 2013 Spyder ST Limited. Got it out for the first time this year. We don't ride it a lot, 7500 miles in 10 years. Today I started it up and pulled it out of the shop and the Brake Failure light was on again. Happens all the time, the...

    Turn like Snow Skiing? Newbie thoughts...

    I got mine in Oct last year, just under 2K miles on it. I still catch myself with a death grip on the bars. I have to fight with myself not to do that when I ride.

    $20.00 shop fee and you already charging $110.00 hour

    The really sad part is the guy doing the work probably makes $12.00 and will be lucky if they have health insurance. That is why the work often completed is poorly done.

    2013 RT Frustration

    I was never sent the letter. A few months ago I contacted BRP and sent them all the information they asked for via email to update my ownership information. I never heard back from them, I checked with the dealer on Friday. All they need is me to bring my information in to change me to the...

    2013 RT Frustration

    I was being sarcastic. No mine is a 2013 ST, it reeks of gas fumes, the left side panel burns your leg the right foot well is well over 130/145 degrees. Yesterday I was riding and and was low on gas. I pulled over and the gas tank was so hot that the gas cap would only click, the cap was...

    2013 RT Frustration

    What recall? I was at the local dealer on Friday and they acted like they never heard of a heating issue or the stink of gasoline. They told the gas smell issue was my fault. I overfilled the tank, "You should never fill the tank up on a Spyder" and "You are lugging the engine to much". They...

    ok gun owners, another WHAT DO YOU THINK question

    I saw a documentary a short while back. Many of the guns used for crime are imported illegally for overseas. They are hand built in one or two man shops and look like them came from a factory. They are hand built and look and operate just like ones built in a factory. They sell for $75-100...

    what would you do

    The people in those countries didn't want help getting rid of a dictator. Saddam was hailed as a god by them during the war. The locals killed our troops during the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. We would spend weeks building a bridge or a school and the bad guys would blow it up. The same...

    My dealer experience this morning

    I dealt with the same stuff in Ohio, three dealer all asking full retail price to the penny. Not one cent was offered in discounts or lowering in price. I saw an ad for these guys with much better prices in a printed ad. I'd give them a call. They will pick you up at the airport. They had...

    TREAD: The new tool from Leatherman for the road

    I carried a Leatherman in the USAF for over 20 years on a daily basis. I retired and quit wearing it and it was over a year before I quit reaching for it when I needed it. People that won't carry one laugh at the ones who do, but they are a handing item to have when you need one.

    I lost 5 lbs in 3 days

    Since the OP was trying to lose weight, drinking nothing but soda would probably have the opposite effect. I agree, your body gets liquid from many sources, and I was incorrect for saying what I did. I'll stick to water though since it does increase your metabolism, and doesn't really lead to...

    VETERANS, WHAT IS YOUR OPINION

    He didn't lie, I heard what he said. His mis-remembered what happened. Kind of like when I walked on the moon in 1969. I was only 3 years old and saw it on TV. Later I mis-remembered what happened I didn't walk on the moon. I'm sorry if accidentally said I walked on the moon.

    I lost 5 lbs in 3 days

    Your body gets liquid from whatever you drink. You don't have to drink water to survive your body has a digestive system that can break down many liquids to its base substance. You can drink nothing but soda for months and you won't die. You get moisture from foods and drinks no just water...

    VETERANS, WHAT IS YOUR OPINION

    I think he needs to be fired and one veteran of each branch should be allowed to kick his ass. I pick Chuck Norris to do the honors for the USAF. James M. Baker MSgt, USAF ret.

    New Airflow panels for 2013 ST-S

    I sent a fairly direct email to Can-Am on Friday and got a phone call from customer service within a couple hours. I now have a case number for diagnostics and hopefully a repair. Here is the wording of the email I sent: I bought a used (2K mile) 2013 Spyder RT in September 2014. After I...
