• 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.

    Spyder evolution

    Found an interesting webpage you guys might like. You can quickly go from year to year to see the evolution of these beautiful machines. Maybe it's just me but I prefer the simplicity of the early years. The 08 and 09 RS's were so perfect but as with anything evolution is inevitable. Again...

    Newbie ! I need a little help please !

    Do not overfill. I am not a mechanic and only go by what I'm told but I had to replace my evaporation canister because I was overfilling my tank. I used to fill it right to the top but after that I only put 4 gallons in at a time. See this is where we miss Scotty. Scotty would always weigh...

    New England Can am dealers just don't seem to want to sell this product :(

    Well this has been an interesting thread to say the least. After returning to New England after three years in the south I'm noticing that Spydermania just hasn't caught on up here like it has in the south. So if dealers aren't making sales it's understandable why they just aren't willing to...

    Are there any other smart phones other than an Iphone that the RT talks to?

    I got pulled over one time in Savannah for playing my tunes too loud so beware of cops with nothing better to do than recite the local noise ordinance!

    Hey everyone I'm baaa-aaack

    You're a fine one to talk Bob. Upstate NY is what we call the snow belt. Yowser.

    Hey everyone I'm baaa-aaack

    Always loved snowmobiling. Figure I'll just get a snowmobile suit and do some road snowmobiling. Maybe put a set of chains on the rear tire! :roflblack:

    Hey everyone I'm baaa-aaack

    Why am I not surprised that Bob was the first to reply. You know the more things change the more they stay the same. Thanks Bob.

    Hey everyone I'm baaa-aaack

    Been out of commission for a while. Not sure how many of the oldtimers are still around but I figured I'd check in and say hey. I've left year round Spyder ryding in Florida and I'm back in New England at least for now. Long story and yes there's a woman involved. I loved Florida but she didn't...

    Thumbs down on Falkon rear tire

    Thanks Lamont and I agree. If the tire doesn't grab wet pavement well it's useless. That's actually why I started this thread. To tell people the Falkon is just flat out dangerous. Bottom line is always safety. Be safe out there guys.

    2013 BajaRon Sway Bar Owners!

    If anyone is on the fence regarding Ron's sway bar let me tell you it's the best $200 I ever spent. You know when you're passing a semi on the highway and the bike jumps around on you? Well with Ron's sway bar on my 2011 RT there is no more of that. I'll notice I'm getting blown around but...

    Thumbs down on Falkon rear tire

    Ok I had 28,000 miles on my 2011 RT and needed my fourth rear tire so I decided to try the Falkon. I'm currently at 39,000 and although the Falkon still has some tread left on it probably good for another 5,000 miles the traction just isn't there. Wet pavement is a nightmare. I mean I like to...

    Evap cannister

    What I didn't mention in my first post is that the canister needed to be replaced because of a defective purge valve.I paid 74 for the canister, 50 for the purge valve and 20 for new spark plugs. But the 2.5 hours of labor was the killer. Not trying to nickel dime anyone but they charged me an...

    Evap cannister

    They charged 125 for the part and 2.5 hours of labor. I'm not sure it's reasonable and customary to charge for diagnostic work that was a good chunk of the labor. I ask this of everyone. Would your dealer charge you for diagnosing the problem?

    Evap cannister

    You guys are awesome. Thanks. But my tools are in Maine and I'm in Florida. Even with my tools though I doubt I'm clever enough to install the T.

    Evap cannister

    Ok people let's share your wisdom. My check engine light came on and after a couple of tries my dealer finally figured it out. My evaporation canister weighed too much which I guess meant it needed to replaced. Some of you probably know by now that I am not a mechanic. I don't even pretend...

    The latest survey from BRP was pretty interesting

    Ditto that Flanker. I threw it out too. Call me suspicious but I would never respond to a survey from a third party. This particular one had scam written all over it.
