• 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.

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    You're exactly right, no matter the subject. There is fact, and there is opinion. It's important to know the difference. The problem comes when a person thinks these two are the same thing. Everyone is wrong sometimes. Just own up to it, get it right, and move on. It's not a crime.

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    My intention is not to call Smoaks out. I don't know the man and I have not watched his videos. I only hope to lay some fact down so that people can make their own mind up. The owner is the one paying for and riding the machine. They deserve straight answers. I understand the corporate...

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    Thank you for providing this, McClendons. This is long, but I feel it is important. Everything I say references a good quality aftermarket car tire suited to the Spyder's needs. Much of the statements from Smoke input are based on the Spyder being a motorcycle, which it is not. It is a 3...

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    That would be great! Thanks! To be fair, there are more car tires out there that would also get my 'Danger, Danger' response than tires I would recommend. Just installing any old car tire that fits under the fenders isn't necessarily a good way to go. There are huge differences in performance...

    Do you have a link to this? What reason does he give for his statement?

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    I am glad you added this and I am very sorry if I offended. I know my reply was harsh. Maybe they are great people. But there is more than one factor that points me in the direction I went. First, there is no way this information is factual. I could bore you with details but I'll leave it at...

    Found some codes on my 2024 Spyder RTL - P195B, then BUDS revealed more...

    The computer sensors can throw codes at times that are not important. Especially if they are not recurring, and even more especially if you have a low, weak, or dying battery. Not that they should be ignored. And in your case, the fact that you're having accompanying shifting issues indicates a...

    Is the Alternator shaft squeal just a nuisance, or is it damaging anything?

    I want to make a notation here before I start. There are some good and even great dealerships out there with quality employees that you can trust. I want to commend them. Unfortunately, my gut feeling is that they are not in the majority. I've always hoped I am wrong with this assumption. I'm...

    I haven't read the current proposal because I don't feel I have a dog in this race. But it would be a good idea as I see more and more of them running the surface streets. Including the ones that can't keep up.

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    OH MY! I am afraid that this sounds like a heavy load of BS! I am continually amazed at what dealerships will try to shovel onto their customers.

    Forever mystified by Can Am's lack of style...

    Think of the Spyder as a blank canvas that you can customize any way you like. If you get a factory graphic or intricate paint job, there's little you can do with that. The original Spyders came in 2 colors. Silver and bright yellow. People did amazing things with them. Multiple options can...

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    It is my understanding, and I could be wrong here, that some are getting the new tires, and some are not. This happened a few years ago with the Kenda Kanine for a time. Not sure why. You'd think they would all have the same rubber.

    Definition of a Motorcycle...

    The Slingshot is definitely not a motorcycle. It's a 3 wheeled car. They cut a fat one with that. If there are to be new regulations that are realistic, Slingshots may be in trouble. The T-Rex, Vanderhall, Morgan, and Stallion are all in this same boat. It's always the ones who push things too...

    Is the Alternator shaft squeal just a nuisance, or is it damaging anything?

    Why stay out? Good information is always, well, a good thing! I wonder if the new parts might be designed to increase the mating pressure.

    Is the Alternator shaft squeal just a nuisance, or is it damaging anything?

    Output shaft components on the 1330 alternator run in oil. Parts 1-12 and 17-18 are lubricated with engine oil. This includes gears, bearings, washers, etc. All are potential points of friction which will generate noise if components are defective or lubrication is not adequate. As you can...
