• 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.

    Great location to hook up your electrical accessories

    I'm in the process of installing a Utopia backrest on my RS-S so I had my seat off. I took the opportunity to clean the area under the seat for the upcoming winter storage. I opened the fuse panel and was checking it out when I noticed that there is a fuse labeled Accessory. I pulled the fuse...

    Buzzing

    At around 5000-5500 RPM I get what appears to be a harmonic vibration on my 2011 RS-S. It's not a vibration that I feel but rather that I hear. It sounds like a slight but distinct mechanical buzzing. It occurs in all gears and happens all the time at that RPM range. Is this common? Does anyone...

    ST Throttle Body

    I'm seriously considering buying an ST. However I'm a little worried that they use the same throttle bodies as the RT and those have been troublesome. Have the RT throttle body issues been resolved?

    Neat trick to repair O-Rings

    Years ago I was at an auto show. A vendor there was selling cyanoacrylate (i.e. "super glue"). He was selling high concentrate cyanoacrylate not usually sold to the general public because it can glue skin even faster and harder than regular super glue. He was putting on quite a demo showing uses...

    Billet Front Axle Kit Issue

    BRP recently announced their 40% savings offer: One of the items is the Billet Front Axle Kit. If you order this be aware that it's only for model year 2010 and earlier. That little fact is hard to spot. I ordered one for my 2011 by mistake and the eight bolts that come with it are way too...

    New Elka Shock Offering?

    I just noticed that Elka now lists a "Stage 1" front shock set on their Spyder page: http://www.elkasuspension.com/?q=spyder for $595/pair list. I don't remember seeing this offering for the Spyder before but I may be mistaken. If I recall I thought their previous entry level offering was the...

    (Another) THANK GOD FOR 3 WHEELS

    When I first got my RSS I was amazed at its go-cart like ability to swerve left and right so quickly. I've avoided many a pothole at the last second with it. I remember thinking you sure can't react that instantaneously on a motorcycle. I often practiced using its tight maneuverability in the...

    Sway Bar "Stoppers"

    When I replaced the OEM sway bar with the EVO model I noticed the OEM had two "Sway Bar Stoppers" as they are referred to by BRP (part # 706201033). These stoppers were located to the outside of each bushing. Apparently they prevent the sway bar from moving laterally. As you can also see from...

    Controversial Nissan Commercial - Motorcyclists as targets

    Nissan has released a commercial for the Juke that portrays motorcyclists as targets for destruction in a video game-like format. This has understandably caused a stir in the motorcycle community where we're a little sensitive about car/motorcycle safety. Please have a look for yourself and...

    RS DPS vs RT DPS

    I own a 2011 RS-S but I've also ridden an RT on occasion. Every time I ride an RT I'm struck as to how much more active the DPS is. It's almost like power steering on a car. When I ride my RS-S I'm not aware that the DPS is doing anything, so much so that I asked the dealer to be certain it's...

    Elka VS Fox VS Progressive Front Suspension Discussion

    We now have three manufacturers of performance front shocks for the Can-Am Spyder. We all have heard a lot about Elka shocks but relatively little about Fox or Progressive. With Fox shocks now standard on the 2012 RS-S and also offered as an accessory add-on by BRP, and Progressive offering a...

    Light Housing MIA

    After driving my 2011 RS-S home from work I noticed the housing for the light above the license plate was gone. Other than the temperature being a cold 44 degrees, the ride home was perfectly normal. The bulb is still there but the cover is gone. The replacement part is $45. :banghead: Anyone...

    Locked Up

    Not my engine fortunately, but the lock on one of my brand new Can Am (Givi-made) hard saddlebags. It happened a few days after I was caught in a very heavy downpour so I'm assuming it may be water related. You'd think such a lock would be more water resistant. The key works fine on the other...

    Evoluzione Sway Bar not an upgrade for 2011 RS??

    After reading all the positive reviews here on the Evoluzione Sway Bar I was considering one for my 2011 RS-S. However I think I remember reading that BRP made some improvements to the 2011 RS suspension. Just to check I looked up the BRP part number for the RS/GS sway bar and found the...
