• 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.

    Can Am Spyder RT Width

    Well, ok. I'll put it out of my mind until I drive 1000 miles and arrive with an empty trailer. Then we can give it a try! Seriously, the 2011 was very tight too but I was happy because I didn't have a lot of fender sticking out on each side of my truck. The trailer is narrow and everywhere...

    Can Am Spyder RT Width

    Well here is where I'm at: I escape winter by hauling my 2011 RT on a 5.5 foot trailer. However I stored it in a shed this last trip. While here in Florida I traded the 2011 in on a 2018 RT-L. Assuming that when I come down next time hauling my empty trailer I can pick up the newer machine...

    Can Am Spyder RT Width

    Tango and Arion: So that's the overall dimension? Not just to the outside of the tires, but includes the fenders?

    Can Am Spyder RT Width

    I usually haul my 2011 Spyder RT on a 5.5 wide TSC aluminum trailer when I haul it from Ohio to Florida in January. I just bought a 2018 Spyder RT Limited. I assume it is exactly the same width. Obviously I don't have any room to spare. Is it the same?

    Danger! Brake failure!!

    Report back: Went to Seminole Power Sports in Sanford, Florida. They had a nice 2018 RT Limited. So I up-graded. They took my bike on trade. It's a new platform for me. Hey, it's not as hot! Nice engine. I'm happy with the turn of events.

    Danger! Brake failure!!

    Safecracker- It's not the fluid low. It's c1282. Low pressure switch . Copper: I actually already have a 9am appointment Friday to put it on the computer. At the dealer in Daytona. After that I may know what is wrong with it. And may be able to make some decisions. Problem is the bike...

    Danger! Brake failure!!

    Mikey: You are reading correct- one pump and the pedal is up. I don't know about the air but I didn't open any lines but that's what it feels like. Maybe I added a tablespoon of fluid to fill the reservoir to the brim. Snowbelt: I'm not familiar with the three button press to call up a...

    Danger! Brake failure!!

    Little over 10,000 miles. I changed the brake fluid a bit more than two years ago. The brake pads are fine but the fluid could really need a change. But I'm on vacation and that's why I asked if there is anyone in this area that could do that. I don't want to tie the bike up in a shop for my...

    Danger! Brake failure!!

    Ok, I'm not sure I really have a problem on this 2011 manual clutch machine other than the blazing orange warning. After I added brake fluid to the rear master container the brakes seemed to work fine other than having to pump them. I see no leaks. I skidded in the sand to check the ABS and...

    Overall width of 2021 RT?

    Thanks Mike. I've done the same but used 5/4 decking that I split. Unfortunately after I scratched one fender on the first loading. I learned my lesson just a bit too late. So I may upgrade to a newer machine in the future and did not want to buy another trailer. That five and one half by...

    Overall width of 2021 RT?

    Can anyone verify the overall width of the 2021 RT? This is my 2011 RT on my five and one half foot by 10 trailer. I have about 65 inches to work with. No problem for the 2011. Will the 2021 fit? 5.5 x 10.0 feet.

    Easy Trailer Question

    I am looking at a trailer to haul my 2011 SM5 RT Can AM. It is 5.5 feet wide and 10 feet long. It should fit ok but does anyone use a trailer this size without problems? I also have a larger enclosed trailer that I have been using. The one I'm looking at is an open aluminum cargo trailer...

    Gravity Brake Bleed Question

    Let's call this case closed. No need for additional replies. (Just wasting electrons!) Thanks for the replies. Hey RICZ, I don't have speed bleeders. The only tool needed is a wrench to open and close the bleeders like you. No big deal. Thanks to all for the replies.

    Gravity Brake Bleed Question

    I know that some folks have bled their brakes by gravity only. I know it takes time. Can you bleed the ABS brake bleed nipple that way as well? Thanks.

    Key failure DESS code

    Can the Dess be disabled on the older models? I've had my Dess module and key reader changed while NOT under warranty. Don't want to pay for it again!

    Must add brake fluid?

    2011 RT manual. Several weeks ago we came to an aggressive stop. The orange sign came on that said brake failure. The brakes worked fine to get us home. The rear fluid container was low. I added brake fluid and tested the brakes. No matter how hard and fast I stopped the failure light...

    Oh no, another trailer question!

    I presently haul my 2011 RT from Ohio to Florida about twice a year. The trailer is a 5 foot six inch by 12 open trailer. (five and a half foot). My wife wants me to get a bigger, enclosed trailer. I'm thinking a 6 x 14 tandem enclosed. I do NOT want to go wider than 6 foot. So my question...
