• 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.

    Installing a Show Chrome wiring harness in my 2014 RTL... need some help.

    I got it done. It took all day but I am slow and meticulous. Thanks for sharing your experience. I ran the batt wires in flex tubing down the left side after removing all pannels on that side.

    Installing a Show Chrome wiring harness in my 2014 RTL... need some help.

    I'm about to install a Show Chrome wiring harness on my 2014 RTL for a trailer. After viewing installation videos and reading instructions, etc I can see clearly how to install everything in the back of the bike... including all the things that have to be removed and put back. But what I...

    I'm about to install a Show Chrome wiring harness on my 2014 RTL. After viewing installation videos and reading instructions, etc I can see clearly how to install everything in the back of the bike. But what I cannot find is a video or instruction sheet that shows "where" (route) to run the...

    Anybody know what the consistent hum coming from engine is?

    Well, I tried the Mystery Oil (in a couple tanks) and it hasn't changed the "hum". Most every one who has commented on my description of the "hum" (as I call it) thinks it's probably the fuel pump. And that sounds logical to me since the sound is consistent (which would be consistent with an...

    Suppliers for cheaper OEM Air compressor for 2014 RT?

    Thanks so much for your reply. Three questions: 1) what year/model Spyder did you put the Viair compressor on? 2) Which model Viair did you use? 3) how loud is your compressor when it engages? Thanks again

    Suppliers for cheaper OEM Air compressor for 2014 RT?

    I am considering that. But do you not have an issue with the psi dropping (during a ride... not just over a period of weeks)? Thanks for your reply

    Suppliers for cheaper OEM Air compressor for 2014 RT?

    I can't remember for sure the model... I know the Viair we used was a 95 ...and I'm almost certain it was a "C" version (I sent it back and got a refund after we tried it [several months ago]). Modifying it so it would "fit" into position was not that difficult... we got that part done. The...

    Suppliers for cheaper OEM Air compressor for 2014 RT?

    Thanks for your reply. My preference is to have the compressor (that works correctly, quietly and affordably)... but your suggestion may be the best solution. I'm considering that. Thanks again.

    The mechanic used to work full time for a dealership but is no longer with them... but works with me personally on my Spyder. He knows the Spyder inside and out. Thanks for your reply.

    Suppliers for cheaper OEM Air compressor for 2014 RT?

    Thanks for that. I'm almost certain that I got the correct Viair compressor. I spent a lot of time researching it and watching youtube videos from others who had replaced their compressors. And I actually had a CanAm mechanic help me with it as well. ... but it was very loud... considerably...

    Suppliers for cheaper OEM Air compressor for 2014 RT?

    I understand... but at a price of over $400 (not including labor) ...that's definitely a bullet! ...Especially when I know that the mark up on that compressor is at least 200%. So, I'm just asking if anybody knows of a parts supplier (a CanAm dealer maybe) that will make a better price on that...

    Suppliers for cheaper OEM Air compressor for 2014 RT?

    The Viair has to be taken apart and rotate the pump head in order for it to orient correctly into position. But, when you rotate that head, the piston head does not fit correctly and consequently knocks internally (that's not acceptable... it will damage the piston) and when the head is...

    Suppliers for cheaper OEM Air compressor for 2014 RT?

    The Viair had to be modified to fit... it is not shaped like the CanAm compressor. But the modification changed the way the pump head sits on the pump motor and that was a real problem. It simply would not work that way. in addition to that, the Viair compressor is loud. In fact, it is...

    Suppliers for cheaper OEM Air compressor for 2014 RT?

    I have a 2014 RT. The original air compressor was replaced under warranty 3 yrs ago... now the new one (from 3 yrs ago) is making lots of noise and runs often. I know how to replace it...I tried an after market one from Viair... but that didn't work out at all. The lowest price I have found...

    Anybody know what the consistent hum coming from engine is?

    I have not heard of marvel mystery oil. I have tried some fuel additives but that hasn't made any difference. Where can I find Marvel Mystery Oil. And is it recommended as a fuel additive? After that first tank (with the oil in it) was gone, did the "hum" return? Thanks

    Anybody know what the consistent hum coming from engine is?

    I'm hearing a consistent hum from the engine (2014 RT). Everything seems to be running fine... engine performance is normal... but this hum is not normal. It does it while moving or in idle. It's pitched similar to the G note on a keyboard and doesn't vary up or down (pitch) with RPM's. Any...
