• 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.

    Can Am Logo Bubbling

    Hi - I did a search and didn't see this discussion out there, but then again... The Can Am logo on the hood of my F3 LTD is bubbling. No excessive heat or cold - it was under cover in a shed over the winter. Has anyone else had this? I know it's just a sticker, but it looks kinda crappy. Thanks!

    The Pace

    http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/pace So, my guy Joe is a huge proponent of "The Pace" - see the attached article. For those who have been riding Spyders for a while, at speed - how does this translate? Riding with Joe, I learned to not use my brakes much, but am still tentative about how fast...

    What would you pay for almost new rotors?

    I've got a pair of front rotors for my GS that have less than 2k miles on them. Replaced them because I was told one of them was warped, and they were perfectly true. I'm trying to decide whether to give them to the couple who are buying my GS, or sell them. To buy new - over $300 Would you pay...

    F3T Limited edition - where's the info on the adjustable air shock?

    I must be blind. I've looked in my owner's manual, downloaded a shop manual, looked through this forum - and I see no instructions on how to adjust the rear air shock for 2 up riding. :banghead: Help please? Oh, and while you're at it - how do you adjust the BRP backrest? Must be Monday...

    Windshield Grommets cracked after only 6 weeks?

    I purchased my F3 about 6 weeks ago, and the windshield grommets are already cracked and dry. Has anyone else had this problem? Small thing, but annoying nonetheless. :banghead:

    Gas cap is sticky/stiff

    Okay, another question. I put gas in today, and gas cap opened easily enough, but when I closed it it was difficult to get the key out. Took some jiggling and pushing down on the cap. Have any of you encountered this? I'm thinking it's just because it's new and needs to be used a bit, but ...

    Ordered my F3T, Special Edition. Current GS throws a temper tantrum...

    Aaaaand decides she's going to shred her belt. :banghead: Honestly, I think I felt it coming, but didn't recognize it. A subtle miss, a tap that felt like someone tapping on my leg... On the way home from the dealer after getting valve cover gasket replaced, she blew her belt. I limped home and...

    Turn signal end piece came off

    Hey everyone. I searched the forum but didn't find exactly what I was looking for. The end assembly of the left turn signal came off. It looks to be kind a pressure fit, but I can't get it to lock back in. Manual was no help. Do I have to replace the whole assembly? Seems like it should just...

    Discount Tire says they will not sell tires for Spyders.

    Wow, so I just called Discount Tire - I wanted to buy another Kumho like I had bought before, and he pulled up my info and said that they are not allowed to sell tires for Spyders any longer. If I want that tire, I have to call back and not tell them what it is for. Has anyone else encountered...

    Battery Connection vibrates loose

    Okay, silly problem but I'm looking for the right answer. After I've ridden for a couple thousand miles, the negative connection on the battery vibrates slightly loose, so the Spyder will light up like normal, but when I hit the ignition, it does nothing. Took me quite a while to figure out the...

    Who was riding in and around Estes Park this weekend?

    I know this should go into the Spyder Sightings thread, but I've never had anyone respond to me there, so I thought I would blast outside the box! I saw more Spyders on our ride down Peak to Peak hwy, Coal Creek Canyon and back up Golden Gate Canyon, then north on Peak to Peak again on Saturday...
