• 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.

    RT SmoothSpyder Belt Tensioner

    Here is the simple solution to this whole thread. The original poster should take their Spyder to the Dealer and ask them to correct the vibration , to their satisfaction, since an aftermarket solution to a defect on the Spyder will supposedly void the warranty . After the dealer makes...

    The dreaded right foot french frier

    A couple notes - make sure you cut a hole in the bottom pan to let the heat go down, you will see references to this in others posts where they have blocked this off. Secondly, I'm not your mother, but riding a motorcycle or the Spyder with Crocs on, could quickly get you a Darwin Award . Other...

    Front end wheel Wobble

    Shifted belt in front tire. I've seen 4 including my own. Have dealer swap both tires and rims with stock unit and poof problem gone. Then replace both tires. Symptoms are identical. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

    Is this normal?

    When you're trying to make a point on a forum, at least be creative enough so that we can see through the BS. The last Can Am dirt bikes that were sold in the United States were sold in 19 78 give or take take one year. That must be one heck of a warranty your buddy had on that dirt bike...

    Vibration at interstate speeds -- Input please - 2012 Spyder RT Limited - 4200 miles

    It sounds like you need to have a new dealer look at it, a properly tensioned belt and the smoothspyder should all but eliminate the belt issue , mine was the same way but tensioning the belt properly eliminated it without having to add a separate tensioner.

    Cracked block - maybe

    I don't mean to sound the alarm so to speak but perhaps I just expect a higher level of customer service. In the original paragraph, it says, the way I read it anyways, that the machine stopped. If it was just a momentary shift issue, you are correct and I apologize. This machine cost...

    Cracked block - maybe

    That's pretty much my point, no one knows how low the oil got and the original poster says they came to a stop on a two lane country road. one could read that to mean the Spyder stopped. my point is that we can assume the only problem that occurred from low oil pressure was the shifting but I...

    Cracked block - maybe

    Whoa.... What has been missed entirely in this thread is that the original poster stated it would not shift down from 4th gear. On the SE5 this is a clear sign of no oil pressure. This was confirmed by the dealer finding the problem with the filter cover and the missing oil, so how much damage...

    Front wheel wobble.

    Mikes right on. Kenda certainly isn't ever talked about as any premier brand of tire for any vehicle. Both of my front tires on my 2012 Rt had to be replaced last week at 3000 miles because the run out was so bad they could not be balanced. At 45 miles per hour the handlebars would shake...

    Spyder Sightings

    Saw a blue RT on Route 222, it was traveling south in Pennsylvania on Sunday morning riding with a group of about 5 bikes, then later in the day saw two spiders heading south on Route 15, an RT and a RS, also in Pennsylvania, both times received enthusiastic waves. Wife and I were our white RT...

    ALWAYS USE HIGH BEAMS DURING THE DAY!

    Gonna disagree that low beams are Ok when headlights adjusted correctly , mine are aimed perfectly as are my triumphs headlight. Back the spyder and triumph a half mile down the road and compare high to low even on a sunny day. The high beams are still far far more visible. Imo of course. Sent...

    2013 RTS LTD

    Where are you in upstate, I'd be happy to swap rt's with you briefly to see if there is an issue or learning curve issue. I'm on my 5th spyder and one could say I am pretty familiar with their handling... :D Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2

    What is the plug under the seat?

    Sounds like the dealer may have installed a battery tender plug. There are quite a few dealers up this way that do that at time of prep. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
