• 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.

    Getting close to decision time. I need some input from those who have ridden an F3-L and RTL?

    You can mod both rides to fit you. I would try to find an F3 you can take out for a test drive, the footrests can be pushed out for your long legs, have them show you that U-fit feature - of course, they may not have a brake rod the right length to make the brake pedal right, but they can get...

    2012 RT Brake failure and parking brake lights stay on - any ideas?

    I had a problem after my first brake job years ago with my 2012, I can't remember what I did to piss it off, but someone chimed in and told me that move, and it solved my problem! Good Luck hope it helps!

    2012 RT Brake failure and parking brake lights stay on - any ideas?

    Is your fluid in the res up to snuff, and the floats are up in their holders? Have you done a brake job on your bike before you had this problem, brake flush anything? You may need to do a reset on the brake pressure switch. Turn your key off, wait 30 sec, turn the key on, step down on your...

    Did an upgrade Sway Bar improve your handling? Which one? And what about Shocks?

    If you're doing curves with your cruise on, they were not heavy curves I hope!!! Don't really think I would do that myself; I like full control of my destiny through the rhubarb!! 🙃 🫣Did you get some shocks while you were there?

    The oil plug - Murphy showed up today.

    And some time a few LIGHT taps on the head of the bolt before you turn it will break up the crust of the dried oil between the seating surfaces also.

    Double Vision on the Dash! And Black! Anyone else?

    Are you talking about the dash changing from the day light mode to the dark mode??? Maybe a picture would help us!

    You just have to use your head, if you see loose stuff coming don't drive like a fool, slow down, you'll be OK! 🙃

    What's with the Herky Jerky on first cold start-up of each day? Any thoughts?

    The only down fall of using a tender on a battery like that is it will give you a false idea of the real shape of your battery in my way of thinking; sometimes you may get it started just fine, without seeing the tell-tale sign of a slow start, then when you get out there and stop for some...

    My 2017 RT is Difficult to start after riding and then sitting for a hour - anyone else? Is it a dud fuel pump, bad injectors, or what?

    Did you put new wires in???

    Anyone know of someone who does minor electrical work in the Cape Girardeau, MO area?

    Wow that's a too good to be true price! Are they a CanAm dealership?

    East Tenneessee Spyder Ryders

    Wow that post, and the thread it began, was started in 2016!! There is a great group of people in Tennessee who jumped in to tell her there are riders in the area ready to ride!!! :cool: I was down there this Spring, and I can say that seeing your area on the back of my Spyder was the best way...

    What's with the Herky Jerky on first cold start-up of each day? Any thoughts?

    JayBros, I 100% agree with your routine of warming up your machine before you ride, and you're right that it will take the herky jerky out of the start out of your ride. But I just don't see where you think that a tender should be part of a bike's life if you're using it every day, or even once...

    My 2017 RT is Difficult to start after riding and then sitting for a hour - anyone else? Is it a dud fuel pump, bad injectors, or what?

    When you did your plugs did you do the wires also? And did you use any dielectric grease in your plug boots? If not, maybe you should have! As far as the MPG's at 70-80 MPH, I think you're doing just about what you should be getting, put a set of wings on that thing and you could be flying! :cool:

    Intro and my initial problems with the throttle sensor and DESS on my 2011 RT - fixed now tho!

    I am glad you found the magic key to the DESS issue that hangs over everyone's heads if they haven't found someone with BUDS to help them out and shut it off!! But Sir, you have come here and hung a carrot in front of everyone and basically stuck your 😝 at us with no details!!!!:unsure:(y)Good...

    Did an upgrade Sway Bar improve your handling? Which one? And what about Shocks?

    Putting just springs on the front is better on the pocketbook, but you've got to remember that you're just putting lipstick on a pig; and that you can't make any adjustments to, or rebuild at any time. If you like a fresh ride like new, a shock will need to be rebuilt. I would rather spend a few...
