• 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.

    Aging bikers at greater risk of injury, death

    Could be, lol, a lot of the older people that fall and break their hip may actually have broke their hip and then fall. The femur snaps off near the top where the joint is and the person of course falls down, but thinks they tripped or whatever and thinks that broke the bone.

    Aging bikers at greater risk of injury, death

    Of course older people will be hurt more and die more, their bodies aren't as strong as they used to be(osteoporosis being a big one) and thier immunity/body healing abilty is much less than when they were younger. Same as when they fall and break a bone any other way, it takes a lot longer and...

    Need drive belt

    I do my own maintenance. I changed the oil which was no big deal for me to do. I found the belt problem while looking it over. I bought it at a non Can Am dealer who bought it from a dealer who shut down for whatever reason. It was put into service and started warranty this last december so I...

    Taking Curves

    I never rode ATV or snowmobiles so I have only been on 2 wheels other than cars. Its completely backwards at speed compared to a motorcycle. Instead of countersteering you turn the handles the direction you want to go. Took me a while also to get comfortable on the Spyder. The crners were fun...

    Need drive belt

    What did the belt look like? Mine looks like someone tore it apart from the edge inward like a piece of tape. Heres my pictures of the tear. Camera is old and crappy but you can see what I am talking about hopefully. Checked the sprocket and it looks fine with no damage to it.

    o -ring and washer set replacement?

    Its the same for a lot of Japanese and European cars/bikes. I have never replaced the copper washers on any that had them and never had a leak. I just made sure the parts were perfectly clean when I put them back on. On my dad's BMW 740 it also has a rubber O ring for the filter housing and only...

    Need drive belt

    I e mailed BRP and told them all about it. The place I bought the Spyder from is not a Spyder dealer and will not owrk on them. They had gotten it from a dealer who closed somewhere else. The closest dealer is an hour away or more so cant ride it that far in case the belt brakes. I cant afford...

    200.2 on 5.83

    Hey Bajaron, Im the guy that just bought the filter kit off ebay, Im in Grant, AL. On topic, I get over 30 mpg in mixed driving on my Spyder(5 speed manual), but my 09 Busa gets over 40, lol. At least I dont have to use preium in the Spyder so that helps with cost.

    Need drive belt

    Took the Spyder to the dealer and after him looking at it and calling BRP they are going to cover the belt and also do the 2 recall things for the steering. Mine never had any trouble and didnt want to have them do it but they said they had to so hopefully it wont mess up. Also made the service...
