• 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 replaced the bushtec taillights with LED tail lights. $ forty bucks for the 4 way taillight kit. I had ordered an adapter harness from busted and it made the turn signals come on with the brake light. Oops, bustec not busted. Darn spellchecker - BUSHTEC

    Anyone know what this Chirping noise might be?

    I did some research, and it appears the 2023 Spyders and after have a re-designed alternator drive shaft, Part # 420637124. It seems that it's either a part issue or an oil issue. My 2023 does the same thing, and it's only been serviced by a Can Am dealer in Kodak, TN, with only Can Am parts...
