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.

:shocked: Do you already have them out of the engine?
If so; take them to a machine shop and see if they can get some measurements, and find another choice that'll do the job...
Good Luck! :thumbup:

that just ain't right!!! there has to be aftermarkets that are the same dimensions. good luck and shame on brp for not having any.:banghead::banghead:
My sentiments exactly! The engine is completely disassembled, at the dealers. Most of the parts are in, but they can't seem to get some of the bearings...unknown if it's cam bearings or crank bearings...

Little checking..!!
if you have the old ones they can be matched up. As mentioned machine shop, autoparts even bike shop (other brands). Most bearings have a number code etched on them and many manufacturers use these numbers. In south america it's a snap but here You don't have bearing houses. Brp and dealers seem to have a problem with stocking parts...good luck..!! :thumbup:

Bob, Here in OZ both Spyder and Aprilia dealers are very scarce, and BRB gives us less choices of what they allow into the country.
I only suggested the Aprilia as another source of parts as they share 90% of the same Rotax engine. I would have no hesitation in using Aprilia/Rotax parts if Can-Am Spyder parts were unavailable, as I have done-so in the past.
Ride Safe Col.

:agree: I'd use an Aprilia part if I couldn't find the comparable piece at my Spyder dealership. :thumbup:
But finding an Aprilia dealer here; might be tougher than finding the BRP part... :shocked:
