• 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.

    I can sympathize with those waiting for parts on Back Order - my left hand Switch housing is finally shipping...

    I can sympathize with those whose Spyders are sitting waiting for parts. I ordered the left side Switch Housing for my 2013 to have when and if it gives me issues, especially the shift button, which usually takes two pushes to go into neutral. It is finally shipping, 7 months after I ordered it. o_O

    Any reason I can't leave the Plastic Cover underneath off to check for oil leaks?

    I was changing the oil, and discovered the drain plug on the engine was loose just verily finger tight. :yikes: Explains why there were oil drops hanging. Any reason I cannot leave it off to check the drain plug periodically for tightness? I cringe at using a torque wrench on it. Once it's more...

    Any way to put Saddlebags on a 2013 ST?

    Trying to find, is there any way to put a saddle/saddle bags on the 2013 Spyder ST? Seems like I saw pictures of back in the day a model having 1 bag on the side? Don't know if they mounted to the rear passenger handles, but then how would you keep them off the plastic side panels back there??

    BUDS New User - cleared codes I'd never seen occur?!

    Purchased the system with a 10 Year Mega License. Hooked up my 2013 Spyder and the ECM had the original software dated 12/07/12. So as expected it had an ECM update, but said the fault codes in memory would be cleared. The 3 old codes in memory were P081B, P1174 and P0605. I have never seen them...

    Old School Rider - The only sounds I need are the wind and the bike!

    Reading about all the issues riders are having with the new Spyders audio systems. The only sounds I need are the wind and the bike. My 2013 Spyder does not even have a Radio, my phone stays in my pocket and no GPS unit either.

    Are there any other reputable brands of Oxygen Sensor that work?

    I'm trying to see if Bosch or other reputable manufacturers make them for my 2013 988cc. Can-Am wants around $115.00 a piece. I see cheap China ones online but no thank you. Tried searching on here but can't seem to find anything. ;)

    Cracks in Windshield around bolt holes - replace? OEM or A/mkt?

    On my 2013 ST, I have noticed cracks on my windshield coming out around one of the bolts that hold it one. So Should I just order a new one from Can Am? or is there a better aftermarket wind shield available that would be a direct bolt on.

    RLS EXHAUST-- Top Notch Product

    Got my Eliminator to day for the 998cc. Ricky Sutton does top notch work, this thing is too pretty to hide under the bike. Looks like it should be on display. Glad I did not try to get a cheaply made one else where. :clap: :b2b:

When I undid the clamps that hold the lid on this box and lifted it up in the red area there was oil in the groove that the square...
