• 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.

    Fender lights

    Fender Lights Are you talking about the mud flap lights on the back side of the fender? If that's the case, then I had the same problem. Just too distracting for me. I cut some "flaps" out of inner tube rubber about an inch wide and super glued them to the top of the light housing. Problem...

    Issue with Shifting into Reverse

    Flicking This sounds a lot like problems some have had when shifting into neutral. Just a quick "flick" is all that's necessary. The same seems to hold true for shifting into any gear, just "flick it". Mike in KY

    Squeaky DPS??

    Squeaky Fan Belt? Somebody please chime in here and help this guy out. Cuz I'm thinking I'm starting to hear the same thing on my 2012 RT-S SE5 with 53K miles. Mike in KY

    spelling of spyder

    Spyder vs Spider A lot of folks have made a lot of money by associating that 8 legged bug with a Can-Am Spyder, and more power to them I guess. But I never caught on to that correlation, so you'll never see a spider on my Spyder. Mike in KY

    This is really happening!!!!

    Lower 48 Go for it gang. My riding buddy and I have been trying about the same thing since Spyderfest 2013, but couldn't do it without the 622 trailer. It's that 4 jackets and 3 pairs of shoes thing that OverHillAndDale mentioned. Three years and 53K miles later, we've been in 40 of the lower...

    Check Engine Light

    Another good reason to get in the habit of using the "engine stop switch" (aka kill switch) first. Mike in KY

    Thought we were going over...

    Anybody Rolled One? Ron's bar, Stage 1 Elkas, and shock relocators were the first mods made to my '12 RT back at Spyderfest 2013. But a year or so back while in Florida, I made a U-turn on a boulevard where the center dividing section had a lot of crown. The inside wheel did come up, and that...

    frunk adjustment

    Frunk Lid Adjustment From a guy that just rebuilt a wrecked frunk in the parking lot of the Lamplighter South during Spyderfest, there are adjustment possibilities. But making sure the gasket is properly seated all the way around should come first. Between the four 6mm (10mm hex head) bolts...

    10th Anniversary of the Spyder June 2,3,4th 2017

    targeting only the northeast Spyder owners I'm in Kentucky and got mine in the mail this Monday morning. Plan to try and make it. Got an alarm in my iPhone set for 11:00 AM on June 2nd. And a shout out to Deanna777 for saying "vehicle identification number" in her initial post instead of "VIN...

    WIREDUX

    A shout out to Dan at Wiredux. I placed a small order with him last Friday evening and received it this Monday morning in the mail. Great service and a good guy to deal with. So if you're thinking of buying some LED's, you need to give him a look see. Mike in KY

    Oversteer

    BajaRon Sway Bar BajaRon is too nice a guy to just come out and say it, but I will. The "suspension upgrade" he was probably talking about is one of his heavy duty sway (anti-sway) bars. It will make a big difference on any Spyder's handling. Mike in KY

    622 trailer tire replacement

    Trailer Tires I just did the same thing as Joe just before heading out to Spyder on the Bayou. A local independent tire dealer mounted and balanced two Carlisle tires for $90.10. But I just took them the two wheels and tires. The OEM's had at least 48K on them and plenty of tread left. There...

    Ride-On Tire Sealant-question on dosage

    Ride-On Contact Been at least a year since I talked with him, but try George Burns at 703-421-9778 or [email protected]. The two brothers that developed this product, Harry and Mark, would probably be willing to talk to you too. Mike in KY

    2013 Recall Pictures

    "a fastener under a small plastic cover" Any chance anyone has a picture of this "fastener under a small plastic cover on the inside edge of the scoop"? Pitbull added the '13 vents to my '12 RT back in October and I recently took them off the side panels for painting to match the Viper red...

    Plasti-Dip of Windshield Bracket

    Although I've never used the Plasti-Dip product, I just don't think it's the right product for this application. I have powder coated virtually all of the OEM gray castings on my 2012 RT-S. And I've also used Rust-oleum's aerosol Truck Bed Coating, #248914. It's cheaper than PC, do it yourself...

    Gearbox position sensor malfunction

    Gear Position Sensor I had a similar problem with my 2012 RT-S SE5 back in October on our way to Spyders in the Hill Country. It happened in the hills of western Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma with no cell service. After multiple restarts and praying, we made it down to Broken Bow, OK where I...

    adding US map of states visited

    US and Canada Map I just changed my Signature map from "my trip logs.com" to "states visited map.com" so that I could show the three provinces that I've been to in Canada along with the US states. I drew the Canada map, but can't figure out how to color it just red like the US map. And I can't...
