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.

I had an appointment to drop my 2018 RT off this morning at 0900 hrs. I decided to beat the rush and rode it the 75 miles yesterday afternoon followed by my wife to drop it off so they would have it first thing this morning. I expected it would take like a day. They open at 0900 hrs and at 1030 hrs they called to say it was ready. So I’ll be road tripping again tomorrow some time to pick it up.

Mine goes in next week. I could of had it done sooner, but had a shoulder replacement the end of February so I wanted to wait awhile since it is around 115 miles to the dealer with part of that mountain roads.

I had read a few posts on here saying the Spyder had to sit overnight to allow to allow for epoxy or whatever they were using to set up, that's why I expected at least a 1 day delay in getting it back. So I was surprised when they called so quickly. I'll try to remember to ask if they had any trouble getting the old sprocket off. I've also read stories from folks talking about how hard it was in some cases for the shop to pull the old one off. But with the recall done, one less thing to think about.

Mine was changed out 2 weeks ago when I was in for an oil change. This one came off easy and there were no delays. I have noticed a different sound coming from the area of the sprocket. Nothing bad, just different.

Sprocket replacement appointment
I called the closest Can Am Spyder dealer to me ( 2 hr ryde away) about 4 weeks ago to set up an appointment for the sprocket replacement.
They called me yesterday to say they had a new sprocket for my Spyder. I have an appointment for May 25th to have it installed. They told me I could
ryde it there and wait for it then ryde it home, since I don't have a trailer to haul it on ,that works for me. Wish me luck!
Has anyone here used Midwest Sports Center in Festus Mo. to have your sprocket changed out. I have never been there before but they have good reviews online.
I don't use dealers for regular maintenance as I do it myself and since I bought my Spyder used it has not been to a dealer in 3 yrs. I don't have any experience with the dealers they are closest to me, all a 1.5 to 2 hr ryde from home. Just hoping I choose a good Can Am Spyder dealer to do the sprocket recall change out.
TIA for any opinions from other Spyderlovers on this site.

Well picked up Spyder this morning. I asked if it was tough pull and the guy said not really. On the way home I stopped for gas and lo and behold there was a fella on a Ryker at the pump right in front of me. First one I saw this year. We chatted for a few minutes then I topped off an left. As an added bonus to the day when I got home I found my Lamonster Leather Like Grip had arrived so I lubed up my handlebar grips with hand sanitizer and rolled them on. The left was easier then the right but neither was really difficult. On top of that was beautiful weather, so pretty good day all the way around.
