• 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 got nearly 14 mpg on that trip from Fairfax. I don't know what my gassed F-250 buddy got. But I know he stopped twice along the way for fuel. Each time he said (Don't you need diesel?) I just shook my head. 38 gallons had no problem getting me the 415 miles from point A to point B. I know...

    Anyone had over-heating issues after fitting Front Grills? Any issues with ShowChrome Trunk Replacement Shock?

    Some of the grill covers are too fine a mesh and restrict airflow. You'll most likely get heating issues if you go with one of these. Great for keeping debris out. But won't do you much good if your pistons are melting...

    Maybe it's just me. But somehow I feel that if you have to ask how to drift, you probably shouldn't try it. It should come very natually. It's a seat of the pants process, smooth and fluid. It helps to have a manual clutch. You don't need to use the brakes (though it might help if you have an...

    Play in the power steering, is it fixable?

    Yes, you have to be careful about information here as your year and model can make all the difference. The 08 & 09 models take yet a different part with no universals at all. Part # 506151972. The bad news... Good luck finding this part new. The good news... These never go bad unless you wreck...

    Play in the power steering, is it fixable?

    Yes, I was not paying attention when I said that. I'd planned to remove it. But the phone rang and I didn't get to it.

    Can-Am will stop shipments of F3, RT, and Canyons to the US on September 29, 2026!

    I am getting conflicting reports from reliable sources on whether the Spyder, etc., vehicles are banned in the new order. However, it is not surprising that BRP would stop shipping them because (as they say) most of this year's product has alreay shipped. But regardless of the ban, there is a...

    Play in the power steering, is it fixable?

    Sounds like a plan. I'd get it ordered ASAP. If it's already in the US, you're good to go. But if it is still in Canada... Well, just order it right away. On another note, BRP needs to beef this part up some. They wear out faster than they should.

    The fuel price is temporary. Gasoline isn't cheap right now either. Still, crunching the numbers. If you're not pulling or hauling, your point is well taken. On the other hand, I don't have my Spyder (multiple Spyders) because they save me money. I just like having them. I love my diesel truck...

    Ultimate Dealer GREED!

    I encourage riders to do their own work, if they are able. If you have the tools, or are willing to get them, and have the time, the benefits go well beyond cost savings. Honestly, I find that most owners will do a better job than the dealerships. Not always, of course. There are very good...

    Play in the power steering, is it fixable?

    Yes, 20mm is too much. It is definitely your universals, which sit right above the DPS (Dynamic Power Steering). Pretty common. The official name for this component is "Lower Steering Column" which contains 2 universals. One on top and one on the bottom. The entire shaft needs to be replaced. A...

    Anyone else notice the number of low mileage used Spyders on Marketplace? Any ideas why?

    All great stories, and just goes to prove the point that all of us who have completed the crucible of passage know is true. It's mostly the rider, and not the machine. But try to tell this to a dyed in the wool 2-wheel guy who has been riding since he was a teenager. (like me...) Us hard headed...

    Play in the power steering, is it fixable?

    Probably your universal joint needing to be replaced. Tierod ball joints can also give you slop in the steering. But it sounds like this is not the case. How much do your handlbars move (engine off) before meeting resistance?
