• 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.

    Change the Brake Fluid & quoted $780.60 - Any suggestions?

    If your not happy doing it yourself may be worth checking the price with a local brakes specialist rather than a Can-am dealer. I got one local to me to do both brake and clutch fluid (I had a manual RS), replace rear brake pads and generally check everything was good and they were very...

    Throttle delay - can it be fixed by BUDS? Or Pedal Commander?

    Thanks for all the replies. @MrMagicFingers - Doesn't seem to be an issue with the older Spyders like your RTS 2010 and my old RS 2011 but seems to be the case with F3's, probably doesn't bother most owners but the sort of riding I do its noticeable. @RayBJ/RICZ/Sydermon - Reason shipping is...

    Throttle delay - can it be fixed by BUDS? Or Pedal Commander?

    F3-L 2017 I've noticed when overtaking that there is a slight delay when opening up the throttle and the power being delivered - about long enough for me to say "Come on, Come ON":-). The mate on a bike I was riding with said "Watching you pass is like watching one of those hand held missile...

    What Are Your Favorite Bluetooth Ear Buds? Late Model Spyder Owners...

    I use Bose Quiet Control 30 wireless. These are the collar type but I find that works better as the battery lasts much longer and the ear part is smaller so easier under a helmet. If the earbud comes out as your taking off your helmet its not going to fall on the ground as its attached to a...

    New member looking at a 2012 RS S.

    Yep they are pricy here in NZ, though once you've got one the one advantage is that at least they keep their value. NZ dealers are really struggling to get new stock from Can-am. One I spoke to wasn't sure if they would get any shipments of Spyders in 2022, they had struggled to get seadoos as...

    New member looking at a 2012 RS S.

    By the time I look a look at the Trademe listing it had already disappeared, so comments from the details above: 21,000 is pretty low mileage for these so no worries there. Though the official service interval is 7,500km I used to service mine at 5,000km as well because these are a high...

    New Zealand's TT2000 in 2022

    Some here will know that I’m an iron butt nut and of all the rides I do the definite highlight of my year is the annual TT2000. This year there was writeup in a local paper that will gives a good background of what is involved...

    Anyone used one of these Fuel Bladders

    You can do the South Island in a weekend - that is what I'm doing this weekend, well 3,890km of it:-)

    Anyone used one of these Fuel Bladders

    @askitee Thanks to your post I ended up getting one of those. I've got an iron butt this weekend and not had a chance to fit the Aux tank I had on my RS to the F3 (its harder to plumb into the main tank on the F3). 8 litre fits nicely across the rear seat (I've already disabled the passenger...

    Any idea of the F3's Wade depth?

    Sounds like UtahPete's suggestion of waders may be a good idea after all:-) Thanks for being the pathfinder Pauly1. Other than the pain of getting stuck in the pothole it sounds like it was fine. I shouldn't be crossing anything deeper than a foot, most of the time its just a few inches but...

    Any idea of the F3's Wade depth?

    Oh I just ride across naked to stop getting my clothes wet - though I keep my helmet on for safety of course ;-)

    Zumo 660 too old to update? Help?!

    A local rider I know has had exactly the same issue with their 660 so I suspect Garmin's update has munted it. They haven't found a solution to fix it yet but I'll let you know if they do.

    Any idea of the F3's Wade depth?

    Probably one for the Kiwi/Aussie riders as we're the only ones daft enough to do this sort of thing but anyone know what the wade depth is for the F3? Got a few streams to cross on my next off the beaten track ride. The RS used to do a pretty good job carving its way through but wonder about...

    Anyone used one of these Fuel Bladders

    askitees original post was an Australian site, the exchange rate is currently 1 AU$ = 0.94NZ$, so closer to 3 times the price:(. If I do get one I'll order it from the Australian site because even with shipping and tax it will be cheaper:)

    Anyone used one of these Fuel Bladders

    Yep that's a problem here as well, I've done 600km's at night between open fuel stations before. It's slightly better now with pay-at-pump in some rural towns but you can't guarantee that's working, got stuck in Westport at midnight for that reason. Next fuel was 100km away so had to sleep on...

    Anyone mount an Adaptiv TPX on F3-T or L? How did you do it?

    Sorted, plus GPS and a spare attachment point if I need it.

    If you think that's bad, check out my local supplier... Welcome to the world of "only one supplier in the country so we'll fix the pricing."

    Anyone used one of these Fuel Bladders

    I had considered getting one in addition to my aux tank. The aux tank is mounted on the rack so I did think I could carry one of these across the pillion seat to extend my range on back roads even further. Will be interesting to hear what you think about it once you've had a chance to try it out

    Anyone mount an Adaptiv TPX on F3-T or L? How did you do it?

    Screws are not an issue as I've already put a ram mount in for my GPS, in fact you've given me an idea for a possible solution...
