And what's with no lug nuts???:yikes: Do the wheels slide onto a splined axle and held on with a single nut and safety pin?

 

[ARtraveler]

You're not actually wrong...
The final drive is by shaft
The belt operated transmission is where things get a little bit "wonky"... :shocked:

Shaft drive, and belt transmission! :thumbup:


(Are you missing a strap for one of the hard saddlebags?)

Early information stated that there is only ONE saddlebag due to the shaft guard on the left side. We joked about it in an early thread--but I don't know if the issue was totally resolved. :thumbup:

 

[Rob Rodriguez]

I've been looking at the pictures too trying to figure out where the gas tank is and where to fill it.:dontknow::dontknow:

There is a cover under the handle bars that slides back toward the seat to expose the gas fill. There is no actual cap.

Looks like $10,000 to me!! May be fun to yank around the hood, but you get what you pay for!!:thumbup:

Rear fender differences

Just a thought......

Am I the only one who noticed that the Rally model has only a small "splash" fender over the rear tire and the regular one has a full fender?

Seems like the off road model would just make a mess of the underside with the shorter fender.

I think its done that way because the Rally model comes with the rear support (which holds the 2nd seat, top case) and that acts as a fender. The non Rally does not come with the rear support so without the full rear fender there would be no protection.

I might also venture a guess that the extra 1" of suspension travel on the Rally wouldn't work if both the rear support and the full rear fender were there?

 

[superbee24]

You are probably correct. I know you can put the support on the regular model.
Maybe the 1" travel is what makes the difference.
Just had not noticed the difference myself until today.

All good. I see a Rally Model in my future.......

For only $8500: they had to save money somehow! :dontknow:
And we all know how expensive those lug nuts are! :roflblack:

:yikes: WOW! Nekkid Spyker!

Hubba Hubba! :yes::yes::yes:

Not a Spyker or Spyder.

Ryker!

belt cover

A CVT transmission uses a belt running between a drive and driven pulley. That Is what the belt cover is covering

No belt = no belt cover! Driveshaft cover only. :thumbup:

 

[SpyderGTL]

Are the brakes “fly by wire” - no hard brake linkage like on the F3? Seems like that would be the easiest way to make the right peg/brake pedal quickly adjustable.

 

[Triumphcycleman]

belt

Yes it is shaft driven from a gearbox that receives its rotation from a CVT (which is a belt running between two pulleys and acts as an infinite selection gear ratio unit) So.... YES there is a belt on this bike, and if you look at the pictures I posted you can see the big, black CVT cover which hides the two clutch sheaths and the BELT). That you can't see is the Forward/Reverse gearbox from which the driveshaft exits, runs thru the rear swingarm, and back to the rear differential. That how it works

There is no belt, it is shaft driven

Brake linkage.

The brakes are not fly by wire, they are conventional hydraulic (but ABS). The difference from the F3 is the entire master cylinder moves with the foot peg assembly rather than a fixed mount and brake rod (F3). One of the videos I saw posted has the guy moving the right peg, and adjusting the brake pedal and you can see how long the brake hoses are, which allows the movement.

Yeah. I noted that in post #15.

I have been hovering over the specs and the 600 GC = 4.1 900 GC= 4.0 Rally GC= 4.4 So Its Not a Inch the Base F3 is 4.5 for comparison. The Rally Rear tire is 205/55/15 vs 205/45/16 for 600 & 900? So .4 higher with shorter Rear tire.
The Rally front shocks have preload adjustment so that could add or subtract some height (I Think?) .

 

[Bob Denman]

The overall height may be pretty darn hear the same, but the Rally has less wheel, and more sidewall.
(It'll soak up bumps better!)

And still nobody has indicated where the fuel tank is. Only the fuel fill area. I dont see any room for a tank, but I know it doesnt run on air.

Joel,

The fuel tank is just below the handle bars.
It's attached to the upper part that is raised in the air in the first picture.

Does the lever have to be held in the reverse position is does it lock into reverse? I'm interested because I have a prosthetic left leg (full length) so couldn't operate it with my left foot, but I could reach it to move it into place with my hand I imagine.

The lever stays in whichever position you put it in, forward or reverse, no need to hold it in place.
However, as I recall from my test-ryde, it may be too far to reach with your arm. Perhaps
there should be an ADA-focused person on Can-Am's design team to keep these things in mind.
