• 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.

    Stoned! My belt that is!!

    Chip in rear sprocket Scotty, the EXACT same thing happened to me:mad: I heard a click, click, click coming from the rear area. I ignored it and drove another 500 miles. By the time I discovered the chip stuck in the rear sprocket every single tooth on the belt was damaged and two teeth were...

    Electrical and Oil Pressure Gauges

    Oil Pressure Gauge I have Voltmeter and Oil Pressure gauges on my RT. The first attempt was a disaster because the Oil Pressure sending unit was attached directly to the "T" on the engine. The engine vibrations made quick work of the "T" and the sending unit broke off causing the oil to spurt...

    Rear Tire ???

    Tires I got about 15000 each out of my first 3 tires. I am now on my 4th with 50,000mi on my RT. I have always used BRP recommended tires. If you have excess wear in the middle of the tire, you have the air pressure too high. You should run about 28psi. At least that's what I run.

    i've got a question and it happens to do with birds!

    Bird Strikes A whole gaggle of Starlings took off and flew across road in front of me. The last one in line didn't make it. He hit me in the face and got stuck between my face and my helmet. It did not feel good.

    catalitic converter

    Removing Catylic Converter Don't get caught in California with it removed. Even an aftermarket exhaust is a no no. That said, I'd go ahead and modify things and hope I didn't get caught. :bowdown:

    Spyder Competition

    After it dumped me on my face for the third time:gaah:, I sold my Segway on eBay. Thing did not have enough torque to stay upright in certain situations. I think this new contraption will have similar problems only the result will be much worse. I wouldn't have one if you paid me:lecturef_smilie:.

    Death by Spyder !!!

    Playing Possum I heard quite a ruckus in my back yard the other day. When I went to check I saw that my dog had an opossum in his jaws. The critter looked dead to me. Apparently looked dead to my dog too because he released it and left it laying in the yard and walked away. After about 5 min...

    Suggestions?

    Instrument Change I had my instrument cluster changed out about 9000 miles ago. I had 38,500 miles on the old odometer and the folks at Cowtown were NOT able to program those miles into the new cluster. I had to re-start at 0.0 miles. Bummer:( I do not believe there is anyway to change the...

    Can am Spyder RS handbrake

    ISCI Hand Brake :agree:NOT. The ISCI Handbrake is one of the BEST aftermarket add-ons for the Spyder:lecturef_smilie:. It is much better than the cable-actuated brake that Can Am used to sell. It is expensive but worth every penny.:yes:

    Rain Suits :agree: I have gone thru several sets of Frog Togs. I think you have to consider them DISPOSABLE rain suits. They are good for one season but that's about it. They also seem to come apart in the wind, even if it ain't raining. I still carry them on my RT, though, and when they fall...

    Speed Coz, you forgot one thing. Every action produces an equal and opposite reaction:lecturef_smilie:. Sunlight bouncing off of the silver body, if you are going toward the sun, will actually slow you down:(. The trick is to face away from the sun and then the reaction will push you faster. I...
