• 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.

    clicking in rear axle, 2008 RS

    I've developed a "clicking sound" in my rear axle area on the right side. I cannot find where this is coming from. It is not from a rock in my thread but rather a sound I cannot determine. It's not a rock in my belt either. this only occurs in the forward movement of the Spyder and not in...

    Headlight replacement on 08 RS

    I've ordered the replacement headlamp from Can Am and am wondering what the procedures are for R&R this lamp? I'm hoping it's a matter of unplugging and reinserting the new lamp... Thanks for any help.

    DPS issues

    I've had problems with my DPS in the recent months and have taken it into the dealer to find out what is wrong. The DPS works intermittently and didn't throw a fault code before I took it in this last month. The dealer mechanic adjusted some of the sensors and when I got it back home my turn...

    Spongy Brakes

    Since I purchased my pre-owned 2008 Spyder from the dealer in 2010 I've always had issues with spongy brakes. I've always had to pump the brake pedal at least twice to get a good feeling pedal. I've taken this to the dealer on several occasions especially after receiving a brake fault on the...

    Spring loaded trunk release for RS

    I understand there is a way to make the RS model trunk release, spring loaded. So that I don't have to run back to the hardware store 10 times, is there any information out there on how much tension the spring should have and what size washers are used? I look forward to your replies. Thanks

    RS seats from BRP

    Does anyone have any experience with the upgraded seats from BRP? My rider complains of not being able to see over my head. I know the RT model corrected that for the rider, but for now I have to contend with the RS model and the complaints for the rear seat. Yes, I know I could leave her at...

    Multi function cluster

    In changing the clock to reflect the time change, somehow my temperature reading changed over to RPM. How do I change it back to read ambient air temp? I think this happened 6 months ago when the time changed then. The manual doesn't specifically state how to make that change, unless I'm not...

    RS passenger foot peg extensions

    I just received my foot peg extensions for my RS and I would like to know if it is as difficult as the instructions indicate. The instructions state that a qualified dealer install them, since I don't have one in my area I wish to install them myself. The instructions show that I remove my...

    Mapping, what is it?

    Since I changed the muffler on my :spyder:I'm hearing that I should change the "mapping" too. I don't know what that is since I didn't purchase a juice box. Is this something that is required when you change out a muffler? The :spyder:seems to run okay, in fact it runs like a striped a-- ape...

    Street Magic SPX-15 Muffler

    I just installed this muffler and while it sounds pretty good it may be a little to loud for my liking. Are there any other mufflers out there that has a more throaty sound and not as loud? Even my HD friends think it's a little loud. I don't mind the attention the :spyder:brings my way, I...

    Overheating

    Spring has finally come and I took my RS on a short ride (40 miles) in 87 degree temps. When I returned and parked in my garage I dumped about 6 oz. of coolant on the floor. I know this because this is how much I put back in. What's up about that? This appears to have come out of the...

    Is there some type of release for the parking brake? My grandson stepped on it instead of the foot peg of my RS. :helpsmilie:

    Since I am new to this forum and this has probably been discussed in the past, what can I do for the brakes when they squeak so loudly everyone around you hear them?

    Oversteering

    I am a novice to this sport (and love it) and having only rode 2-wheeled scooters up to 200cc, my average speed has not exceeded 45mph. I am wanting to get out on the highway with my Spyder but it seems really freaky to me to exceed 55-60 mph. Here in CA the speed limit is 65mph for most...
