• 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.

    New F3 bars on my RT - what a difference!

    Me too! Had a 19 RTL but swapped for a 21. The 21 stock bars caused nearly immediate shoulder/upper back pain on the drive home from the dealer. Got stock F3 bars on eBay for $105.

    21 RTL Handlebar shake at 45 mph. Running out of ideas. Any suggestions?

    Once again, thank you all for your input and knowledge. My Spyder is still in Covid jail at the dealer here in central NY. I'll be taking it to Florida in the next 3 weeks and will resume troubleshooting once I get there. I'll try again to get the front tires spin balanced. If that doesn't work...

    21 RTL Handlebar shake at 45 mph. Running out of ideas. Any suggestions?

    Thank you all again for the replies and suggestions. Someday I hope to be able to help someone the way you have helped me. Mike - Based on feedback from you and PMK I'm going to try another shop to spin balance my tires. Do you have an opinion on "road force" balancing? PMK - I will trailer...

    21 RTL Handlebar shake at 45 mph. Running out of ideas. Any suggestions?

    Thanks again for the suggestions, I'll respond in order posted. Mike - I've had the tires spin balanced by a local tire chain store, but I'll try another one. Does "road force" balancing add any value? Thanks for your input on suspension hardware. happyspyder2039 - You mention weight...

    21 RTL Handlebar shake at 45 mph. Running out of ideas. Any suggestions?

    Thank you all for your interest in helping me. I'll try to answer your questions in order: Peter - I will ask the dealer to "nut & bolt" all front suspension components as part of the laser alignment. I looked at the belt to rule out a small stone caught in the sprocket or belt, I did not...

    21 RTL Handlebar shake at 45 mph. Running out of ideas. Any suggestions?

    21 RTL with 3,200 miles. Around the time of the 3,000 mile checkup (coincident with installation of BajaRon sway bar) I developed a shake in the handle bars. Worse at 45 mph, gets a smoother as speed increases to nearly gone at 60. The dealer is trying to help, but they are a small shop with...

    Tarp or No Tarp?

    I don't know about Can-Am dealers, but many Harley dealers will store your bike indoors over the winter with battery tenders IF you get an oil change, or new tires or some other service to keep their techs employed during the off season. Might be worth a phone call.

    LED turn signals and now hyper flash

    Bert, The Auxito bulbs are brighter than the SBL, imagine how much brighter they are than the incandescents they replace! I can't understand why every other bulb on the 2021 is LED except the rear signals? Especially knowing what a PITA they are to change!

    LED turn signals and now hyper flash

    Bert. My first set of LED bulbs was from superbrightleds. I could not solve the hyperflash using any of the "methods". I did not see any bulbs from superbirghtleds that had built in resistors and did not want to start cutting into the wiring on my brand new '21 RTL. I found LED's with the...

    Here's my solution to hyperflash: Hyperflash solved - no resistors 2021 Spyder RTL. I tried installing LED rear signal light bulbs from Superbrite LED's but could not stop the hyperflash (very rapid blinking) using the Lamonster method.

    2021 Spyder RTL. I tried installing LED rear signal light bulbs from Superbrite LED's but could not stop the hyperflash (very rapid blinking) using the Lamonster method. I found LED bulbs WITH built in resistors and the correct BAU15S base. PITA to remove the rear body work to get at the bulbs...

    Help identifying small engine ignition part

    If there are any numbers on it, Google the number. My guess: its a start capacitor - charges as you pull the rope, discharges to fire the plug. Just a guess similar to what we used to call "battery eliminators" on old Harleys and Triumph motorcycles.

    2021 RT Limited BajaRon Sway Bar - DEFINITELY WORTH IT

    I must be the only one that thinks my 21 RTL with stock bar handles better and is more stable than my 19 RTL was with the BajaRon bar.

    How long does it take for a Lazer alignment? Trailer it in or ryde & wait?

    My local small dealer allocates 4 hours (but doesn't charge for 4 hours). They have to clear a bay and configure the Laser equipment because they don't have room for a dedicated area.

    Checking The Oil Level

    Two points: 1) Harleys have had dry sumps for decades. If you let one sit for extended periods the oil will drain from the tank into the crankcase. Unsuspecting owners fill the tank before starting the engine and blow oil all over the place! This issue is not a BRP only phenomenon. 2) The reason...
