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.
Are 2011 Rear Shock's rebuildable?

No, the shocks aren't; but the air bag, which is not a part of the shock at all, is replaceable if it has an air leak. :thumbup:
However, the 'non-return valve' is often the source of any air leak in the air bag & compressor adjustable part of the system, so check that before forking out for a new air bag that you might not need. There's a lot here on the Forum already about the ACS & the entire air bag/compressor part of the system, so it'd really pay you to do some searching and reading before you get too far down the rabbit hole, likely chasing things that won't really help &/or may not apply to you/your particular failure at all!

So then you might have an air leak from the bag, or possibly more likely, from one of the 'push to fit' connectors on the air line or from the Schraeder valve itself, rather than from the 'non-return valve'...
But with that minor change, the rest of my post above still applies - there's a LOT here on the Forum already about the entire air bag part of the suspension/system, so it'd really pay you to do some searching and reading before you get too far down the rabbit hole, likely chasing things that won't really help &/or may not apply to you/your particular failure at all! :thumbup:

So is the bag leaking air? Have you done a bubble check to see where the leak is? If it's the bag you'll have to replace it! They do still have them! You may want to install the rock protector under the bag when you put the new one in!

If you go to any CanAm PARTS site you look at all the FICHE's which will show 99% of all the parts that are used to build any Spyder / Ryker ...... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:

Yeah, the air bag is what adjusts the ride height, which is load dependent. (Also, acts as a spring helper too.) Since yours is the manual fill, you must adjust the air pressure depending on the load. Most Spyders do it automatically.
My old 2014 was a straight RT, with the manual fill, so I would have to periodically check it because it would leak down slightly over time. (I bought a special hand pump for bicycle tires to check and inflate. DON'T use an air compressor.)
