• 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.

    Back in the shop for the second time this year!

    I continue to read the threads here as I am somewhat new to the Spyder world. I think its really amazing that more shops than not APPEAR to not have qualified techs to work on this machine. This does not exactly inspire confidence to own long term.

    This bike keeps calling me!

    I had the 2014 Silver Pearl M109. Great looking bike. I was amazed at the price difference between this and the HD . I think mine was about $9500 brand new out the door. The first gear clunk when shifting was really pronounced.

    Advice and suggestions for curves and Twisties?

    Go look for the twisty roads in your area and practice at a time when traffic will be minimal. I am fortunate to have two great areas within about 12 miles of my house, Mingus Mountain to Jerome and Yarnell Hill. I did Mingus yesterday and I am doing Yarnell this morning. Practice at the lower...

    Miles on oil change

    I had the dealer do the 3000 mile service , I supplied Castrol 4t 10 40 at 3000 miles. I will change every 3000 miles. Pretty cheap insurance to know I have clean oil. I have not done the oil analysis but I am pretty sure changing at 3000 miles still leaves me with a good margin of error on...

    Idea for my feature wall in my living room.

    Several years I built a very large and expensive home for a retired race car driver, he hung a Ferrari race car from the ceiling of the game room. Very cool. It also had a 20 car heated and cooled garage with storage room accessible by a hydraulic turn table the was below the garage that held 10...

    Adjusting Shock Preload on a Stock Spyder F3-T - Is Spring Compression Necessary?

    The dealer couldn't get mine loose to adjust. The worked on the 2 nuts for about 45 minutes or more. They called BRP and were instructed to take the shocks off the bike and use a cold chisel and a beater to loosen the nuts. They said that if they damage the shock they would replace ( What...

    Can anyone help??

    I wonder how a Can Am Dealer doesn't have an experienced tech to service the bikes they sell. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence for long term ownership of the bike. I sure hope you can get it to a qualified dealer, I wonder if the oil leak repair is really the correct call?

    Let's talk Sunglasses

    I use a full face Arai Helmet, the face shield goes from clear to dark as it gets brighter outside. Works excellent, I can use my regular glasses and don't have to carry sunglasses.

    lost 19 teeth from my drive belt

    I have not checked the manual yet but I wonder if the drive belt should be replaced at X miles or age like a timing belt in my Honda V-6 Crosstour? Why take a chance on causing more damage, getting stranded etc.. It's great to hear the dealer stepped up and helped you out, hats off to them . My...

    Remove Tupperware for shock replacement?

    I just changed my 2016 F3 T to the Elka's. If your hands are smaller there is no problem accessing the upper shock bolt. I struggled with both uppers but finally was able to work through it. The lower bolts no issue at all. Good luck,

    Elka Shocks Stage 2 for my 2016 F3 T

    I am thinking of the sway bar soon. I felt I was forced into doing the shock replacement as the factory shock pre load jam nuts were so tight I couldn't break them loose. I felt I was going to replace sooner rather later anyway so I just changed now. I did another 200 miles this morning and...
