• 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.

    UGH! Front tires

    I agree with others.. ...get the front end laser aligned - then new front tires. I don't remember members having negative comments on factory front tires - but there are other choices out there. Don

    1994 all over again

    My brother lives just north of Houston - Spring, TX. In 1994 his house flooded --- water was 7' deep (could see the water line on the walls just about 1' from the ceiling). He was in bed last night when something was really banging on his house (neighbor). He got out of bed and right away got...

    high water

    Not a happy site at all Hope all works out for you. My brother was in CA when all that rain hit the Houston area recently. Water started to enter his garage, but not deep and none in the house. Last time he had that much rain, the water level in his house was 12" from his CEILING. All lost...

    To Steve (BRPcare) about DESS issues

    My experience Had this issue a couple of times: 1. Drove to work - parked - would not start 5 minutes later when I went to move the bike. 4 hours later - started right up. Replaced module. 2. Stop for lunch. After lunch, would not start. Towed home where it started the next day...

    What should I look for on a used spyder

    Dealer is key Most important part of the ownership of a Can Am Spyder is the relationship with a good dealer. You have one recommendation of a good dealer - good starting point. My 2010 was greatly improved in handling once the torsion bar was changed. My 2014 handles just fine with factory...
