• 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.

So far it has held up great. I have ordered...

    Can I shift a 2014 RSS manual without using the clutch?

    If it is a manual shift use the clutch to shift. Some will say they do it without the clutch. Not knowing the machine and how a manual clutch works best to use it so you don't mess up the transmission. I have been riding with a manual clutch for 50 years and have shifted a few times without the...

    Belt issue, 2008 GS Manual (Silver)

    My wife had a 08 and same thing happened with the bearing. Can Am would not take ownership, but the first year they had over tightened the belt tension causing failure on the bearing. I run mine around 160 to 180 tension so I will not mess up the front bearing. I'm getting ready to replace a...

    Belt issue, 2008 GS Manual (Silver)

    I just replaced all my bearing last tire change. Old ones felt good, but installed new ones anyway. Glad you found the problem. Makes it nice when it is found. Of course if you are like me every time I find the problem it cost me more money. David

    Space between wheel and swing arm

    A little trick I use while tightening the axle nut is I take a 8mm allen wrench and place it at the bottom of the sprocket and belt. Then I roll the wheel and let the wrench roll until it is about half way of the sprocket lodged with the belt. This tightens every thing while you tighten the axle...

    Check and make sure all your relays are plugged in good. Also check your shift linkage if it is a SE model. These has been known to come loose on the shaft. David

    I might be wrong, but looks like the spacer is in backwards. Hard to tell from the picture. David

    front end death wobble

    This could be so many different things. With what they described sounds like bad tires, or if it has done it from new could be a defective rim. Has seen this on a auto one time. Found a bad casting in the rim. Tried to balance just the rim and never would balance out with normal weights. Sure...

    I like the F3 also. But my 08 runs so good and just can't justify spending that much money. Wished I could find a wider fender like they make for the F3

    You should have have the 14 inch rims. Looks just like the ones that I had on my 10 model, except yours are painted pink. David

    I replaced mine with the sports fender also. My buddy ordered the fender support that fits the 2013 model. It has the extra support brackets. Of course you have to order the support brackets. Doesn't come with the fender support. David

    Was wondering if you have a belt tensioner on yours? I had tracked one down and had to re align it. It was making the belt stay away for the pulley. JAT David

    Belt issue, 2008 GS Manual (Silver)

    Not a bad ideal to check the bearing. I know they are suppose to be changed around 25000 miles. I had one do this to me on a friends bike and it took me about 2 hrs to finally get it. About ready to pull my hair out. I never touch my adjustment nuts while changing a tire. I undo the shock bolt...

    Belt issue, 2008 GS Manual (Silver)

    Looking at the back of the bike, this is if the belt tension is fine, to move the belt closer to the inside tighten the left 1/8 and loosen the right 1/8. Tighten up and go for a ride. Stop the bike and check it. If it is still too far away do the same again in 1/8 turns till it gets where you...

    2012 RS brake problem

    I used free drain when I was using the long piece of clear tubing. I just put enough brake fluid in the hose so when I pumped the brake no air was sucked back up. The tube will fill up as you pump the brakes. Keep the resv full while pumping it. I like to use the long tubing so I don't have to...
