• 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.

    Have you ever seen this SPIKES on SPYDER wheels???

    Reminds me of those images of war chariots I used to see in books. Why would you endanger yourself and others in this way???

    I was on a very "twistie road " ..when this happened

    The thing about being in the Ferrari is that you don't have to prove anything to anyone. You've already done it, you're in the Ferrari!!!!! BK911, was it that road thru Smugglers Notch? I used to go to Essex Junction, Stowe every fall for my wife's b'day and would drive back to Montreal via...

    CVT side air filter vs. engine side air filter

    The cynic in me thinks that these closing 2 letters detract from all of the letters/words/thoughts/arguments in the replies you post. If there is a significance to these letters other than the disparaging one please, please enlighten me.

    Stuck in reverse

    You have not said whether or not it is an SE5 or SM5. If it is an SE5, it will be sensitive to the oil level. Check the oil level as per the Can Am procedure. to assure this is not the cause of the problem. I am not conversant with the SM5 so I can't suggest any course of action.

    AreoCharger turbo kit help and questions

    To me is sounds like the best scenario is sell the bike and buy a stock one that can receive an ECU mod.

    2012 Can Am Spyder RT Limited

    The V twin has a maintenance requirement of checking the valve clearance every once in a while and it costs a bundle if done at the dealer. Why does it cost a bundle??? Because it is a lot of work. More work if adjustment is required. There are videos on the net. The 1330 has hydraulic...

    How do you avoid hitting potholes? 3 wheels makes it difficult!

    They are even harder to avoid potholes with as a motorcycle(2 wheeler) has a single wheel track, a car has 2 wheel tracks and a Spyder has 3 wheel tracks. Just slow down and drive the road conditions is I what I would do. There are compromised but they don't fall down if you get off them.

    Reliability of the Spyder

    Why ask the question when you have already bought one. Don't second guess yourself. Get out there and ride it and let us know if Consumer Reports got it right.. Better yet just ride it. BTW did you look at the Tilting Motor Works conversion? I'd love one but my Goldwing is too old.

    Say what?????

    No that is someone else's conversion, whose name I can't remember at the moment, and it doesn't tilt. The TMW has a distinctive front grill and a distinctive suspension setup. I am surprised the TMW isn't more popular. I have tried to get one but the bikes I have are not on the retrofit list...

    Wife getting too HOT 1/2 way thru long rides in the East Coast new heat!

    Perhaps the lady has some underlying health issues that make the temps more intolerable than for most. It may is time to consider installing a (insert you favorite indoor pastime device here) in the basement and spending the hot season honing those skills.

    Price per mile/km

    Why do you torture yourself like this. When I want a cheap ride I take the Honda Civic. It has windows, air conditioning and a stereo that works and better mileage to boot.. What you have there is a toy. Enjoy it as such.

    Recommendations - SM or SE? Triple or V-Twin?

    Though the V twin seems to be an excellent motor, the maintenance schedule calls for checking the valves and re-shimming them if necessary. This is not an inexpensive endeavor and totally unnecessary with the 1330 triple as it has hydraulic adjusters on the valves. I would have bought a 1330...
