• 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.

    Has anyone tried this lift from Harbor Freight?

    DON"T use that lawnmower ramp! It won't support the weight as previously stated. Regular steel car ramps work great, but they won't give you the height you need. The best and safest I've seen so far, if you don't want to spend the big bucks, is to use two heavy-duty loading ramps on a pickup bed...

    Time for brakes on my 2014 RT - any tips or recommendations?

    BajaRon without question. You're not that far from him.

    Spyder origins?? Or The Ultimate?? Just Go For It!

    I put a 1/4 turn throttle on the Yamaha and turned it into a rocket ship from hell.

    Anyone purchased from an out of town dealer? Is this common? Any concerns?

    If my Spyder gives up before I do, iMotorsports or the one way flight would be my choice.

    Has anybody fitted Dual 5” Screens Instead of Analog Gauges to their Spyder? Any advice, suggestions, or concerns?

    I have a Samsung Z Fold with a wireless charging system that will securely hold the phone in either the open or closed position. What a distraction! I can't imagine dealing with 2 5" car play screens. It didn't take me but about two seconds to realise how dam dangerous and distracting a multi...

    Spyder origins?? Or The Ultimate?? Just Go For It!

    I rode with those guys too. The secret to keeping up or leading was huge cc's and knowing how to use them. My last and best ride was a 400 Yamerhammer mono shocker. Massive low end grunt and topend power with no end to it. It could really hurt you if and when you let it get out of control...

    Anyone have ceramic brake pads? Any experience with Traild ceramic pads?

    My only experience with ceramic pads was back when vehicle manufacturers started coming out with all wheel disc brakes. Ceramics didn't seem to stop you any faster, but they did wear out discs and warped them faster than conventional pads. Stopped me - from using ceramic pads!

    Has anybody fitted Dual 5” Screens Instead of Analog Gauges to their Spyder? Any advice, suggestions, or concerns?

    Replaced mine with a 12v (cigarette lighter) receptacle and the other with a multiple USB port.

    Do People Get Thrown Off of Spyders?

    The Spyder dealer and the Harley dealer in my neck of the woods are about a stone's throw apart. I often stop at the Harley dealership to look around because I miss my Harley. Enjoyed overhearing a conversation where a Harley rider pulled a Spyder pilot off his Spyder for cutting off the Harley...

    WTB: 2014 Spyder RTL side cover

    Well, look at it this way. If a small body panel is lost and that's the biggest of your worries with your Spyder, you're still ahead of the game compared to some other poor souls on this forum. May good luck continue to ride with you in the future.

    Losing a bit of faith in Can Am - enjoy the riding, but not the endless waiting while they find parts and fix all the niggling issues!

    I agree. But that doesn't help the reputation of the Spyder line itself. I've long held that Can Am's dealership issues will ultimately be the demise of the Can Am Spyder line of products. Bottom line, if you want to sell Spyders, you've gotta keep them on the road. Reputation demands that.

    WTB: Wanted, Baker Air Wings for a 2022 F3 Spyder

    Sweet! Better grab'm while you can.

    WTB: 2014 Spyder RTL side cover

    Just a little info, if you find one (of any color other than silver), you can have it wrapped to match your silver machine. Works better and is less costly than paint.

    WTB: Wanted, Baker Air Wings for a 2022 F3 Spyder

    Baker Air Wings! Yes, one of the very best improvements I added to my RT, along with stage II and car tires. I could, with minimal effort, reproduce a set for my RT but not for the F3. If you know someone with Bakers on an F3, you could pattern your own set quite easily. There's very little to...

    When Only On Street Angled Parking is available, do you back in, or drive in?

    If the angled parking spot is on a slope, it can pose a serious issue for a 2-wheeler. But, those days are gone now.
