• 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.

    RT Trailer Hitch Removal Howdy Everyone, I have a question about temporarily removing the hitch from the RT. It would appear that there are four black bolts (two on each side) that would need to be removed to allow the curved portion of the hitch with the ball and splash guard on it to be...

    2010 vs 2011 RT-622 Trailer

    Howdy, I am trying to determine why my 2011 RT-622 trailer does not have amber turn signal lights like the 2010 models did. I inspected the taillights last night and found that there is a socket and plug where the bulb would go, but the hole where the bulb fits is covered with a silver film...

    My DPS Recall Experience

    Y Gaskets - I switched!

    As suggested in other threads, I decided to inspect/replace the exhaust Y gaskets with the Honda equivalent on my '09 SE5 GS. I was shocked by my findings. :yikes: At 15K miles, the right side gasket was completely gone. The left side was still intact, but was starting to deteriate. Like others...

    2011 Spyder Spyshots

    2011 Spyder Spyshots? I was running an errand today at lunch and came across this. :shocked: I did not have enough time to wait for the owner to get more information. Too bad I was on my ST1300 instead of my :spyder2:; I could have taken a group picture! :D

    Electrical Connections

    Howdy, I need a recommendation on a quick connect (reusable) insulated wiring connector that will allow me to connect and disconnect wires on my :spyder2:. Would Posi-Tite work? This is not a tap connection, it is a bare wire end to bare wire end. Thanks, David

    Steering Issue Got Me!

    Hello Everyone, On my way to work this morning, I was riding in the HOV lane and experienced the same thing that Tom in NM experienced a week or so ago. The :spyder2: did a slight drift to the left for no reason. Did not think much of it. I started to make a slow adjustment to correct back to...

    Shock Covers

    Does anyone know if there is a shock cover that will work on the :spyder2: like the one in the picture? I found some on e-Bay that have :f_spider: emblems on them, but that is not my preference. I would prefer to have the cover in black with the "Y", "can-am", or "Spyder" logo. Thanks, David

    Anyone know if you can purchase the BEST extended warranty after your original purchase (as long as it is still in the factory warranty period)? Anyone know of any dealers with good prices? I know that some car dealerships (Honda in particular) advertise their manufacturer warranties and you...
