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.

AIR FILTER
That's the best price I've seen for a K & N. But it lists only the RT....Does the same filter fit all Spyders.??????......Mike....Thanks....:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

That's the one...and yes, a good price...There's no modifications required...it's a direct replacement for the stock filter, just drop it in...
Or you get this one from Custom Dynamics. http://www.customdynamics.com/can_am_spyder_exhaust.htm#Air_Filter_for_the_Can-Am_Spyder_
It's pretty much same as K&N just a different color. And it matches my Neutron Green Spyder. Even though you will never see it. :dontknow:
I'm not sure if they offer member discounts since they are a sponser here?
Doesn't hurt to ask.
Just realized the K&N is $30 cheaper. :gaah:
It was a bit of a pain to install.
First, you have to remove both left and right Can-Am decal panels.
Next, the front right foglight panel.
Also the center console.
Then after unclipping the 6 clips that hold the airbox lid on.
You have to remove the air breather hose thats attached to the lid. Just to be able to tightly slide it out from under the center frame.
The easiest part is lifting out the old filter and dropping in the new one.
Now you have to put it all back together. :2thumbs:
It's not as hard as it sounds. Just very time consuming.
Pretty much trying to change anything on a Spyder takes a long time.
That's why our dealers charge us a ton to just change the oil.
They will probably charge you at the least and hours worth of labor to install the air filter. On top of the regular service charge. Unless you have a good relationship with your local dealer. Cause i don't, and i cringe when i have to bring it in for service.
I guess because i know i can do the service myself and i know I'm getting ripped off.
Sorry, for the rambling.
I'm just upset i can't go riding today. And it pretty much rained everyday at least once for the entire week.
I guess i can finish the rest of my Tricled mods in the garage today. I'm just glad i enjoy taking things apart and putting them back together. As long as you don't break something in the process. Which i have done many times before.

No, there is a separate filter for the RS/GS/RS-S Spyders. AJUSA sells these for less than I can get them wholesale!

I also carry the full K&N line of products. The problem is, these guys sell it for less than I pay wholesale. Don't know how they do it not only price wise, but K&N has a base pricing that you're not supposed to be able to sell under.
But the bottom line is, you can't beat this price!

Yes & Yes
How much is a paper filter?
How long do they last?
How much do you enjoy getting into your air-box?
If, like me, you're 0 for 3 on these questions then you've got your answer.
