• 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.

Parts information and availability

It just seems nuts to me that I walk into two different dealers and neither parts department knows what the parts are that I need! Really?
:banghead:

They em will sit there on the computer looking at screens, I point to the part and they don't know how to get it.

Ok, maybe as usual many of you can help, maybe even send me to a dealer that can sell me these SIMPLE parts.

There are black push pins that are used for holding body parts on, how can I get about a dozen of them?

Also there are many black screws that hold the body parts on, in two sizes and black washers as well, how can I get them?

This just seems ridiculous to me.

If you think of the parts counter as being manned by mechanics who couldn't make it: you might be more right, than wrong! :banghead:

Those push-pins are pretty easy to find in other places. I got a package from EBay a couple of years ago. If my memory serves me correctly; Honda uses the same type of fastener. (But check this info out!)
Nuts, bolts, and screws? Just go to the best Hardware store that you can find, with the pieces in question in your pocket. Match them up to what the store stocks. :thumbup:
 
Having been a motorcycle parts guy many years ago, it became obvious some want to work and some can't be bothered or are too lazy to look into it.

The parts manuals from Can Am are a bit cumbersome and unfortunately are not consistent in format from year to year.

As I see it, you have two options for oem the parts you are asking about. First easy option is to go to a better quality dealer such as Central Florida Powersports or Pitbull. Explain the them what you need and they should have no issues locating, ordering if needed and sending to you.

A second option is to research the part numbers yourself. On the home page of Spyderlovers is a link to the BRP parts. You pretty much find your year and model, then use the same parts diagrams the local dealer may be using. Write down your part number and MSRP, take it to the local dealer and order or go with a discount mail order place.

As for the plastic push pins, if you take one with you, many auto parts stores have packs of those pins or very similar that accomplish the same task.
 
Call Spyderpops, 501 627*-4008 he will sell you as many or few as you need and will ship them today

The washers come in two shapes, oval and round. I just got some from Rob's performance (one of our sponsors). Call 920-699-3288 and ask for Steve. Tell him my name and that you need the same rubber grommets he sent me.
Good Luck

Let's see....

I use cheapcycleparts.com for all the oem parts...as for the push pin fastners and screws and nuts and bolts Home Depot or autoparts stores. most dealers stock only fast moving parts others are all special order. outfits like cheapcycleparts stock it all cause that is their business...parts.:thumbup:
 
I go to Cheapcycleparts.com, look at the part that I want, get the number of the part, and either order from them, or take the part number to the dealer and tell them "this is the number for the part I need"
Works quite well.

I went to Malcom Motorsport and asked about a belt tensioner for the vibrations at 65 mph. Didn't know what I was talking about. Supposed to be a gold dealer.
