• 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.

    Battery

    CanAm Spyder Battery 24 A/H As stated MotoBatt always rate higher for the same size unit. I wouldn't degrade the electrical system with a lower rated battery. From what I have read here the electronics don't respond well to low voltage conditions...

    Drive belt bargain

    Belt part Number Change. I believe the part number has changed on newer belts that have an additional coating on the inside to help make them run quieter. I heard that the 2012s come with these newer belts. Duh ! I just checked to see where I heard this and it was on this fourm...

    Royal Purple Motorcycle oil

    Has anyone used this oil in their CanAm Spyders ? I have used it before and thought it performed well. Any comments would be welcomed. I am concerned about the high heat down here in Fla. Yesterdays outside temp. on the dash were at 98 to 101 F and the temperature gauge and the radiator fan...

    Cost of Belts

    Bates Video Find the info you need to buy from a Bates distributor here. One way to get the outside length of the belt without removing it is to duct tape some thin electrical wire to the belt, then rotate the rear wheel til the wire comes out where you can lay the wire down on the start...

    Help for flashing Brake light on RT

    Thanks for the info I found the link for the tail light mod and it did help me under stand what was needed. It was the soft rubber on the passenger hand rails that was holding the rear panel in place. As you mentioned some gentle twisting and I was able to work the sides free. I now have my...

    Help for flashing Brake light on RT

    Just thought I would ask if there is a previous post for this. I have a set of Electro Pod flashing brake lights that attach to the license plate. I thought the easy way to hook up would be from the tail light wires, but even though I removed the 4 screws from the top and 2 screws from each...

    And I Gave Up A Perfectly Good Goldwing for This

    CB Radio

    Relocated CB to Frunk Spent some time on the CB relocating from the top of the dash to the Frunk. Had to fabricate a straight cord section to reach the frunk from the PTT switch.

    Aftermarket belt?

    Belt source tool I don't have my Spyder yet. It's supposed to be in by the end of this week so I can't put my hands on a drive belt. There are a few companies in the USA that manufacture and supply heavy duty drive belts. The tricky part is being able to cross reference the the part numbers...
