• 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.

    My "quick fix for "check engine" light

    My “quick fix” for a flashing “check engine” light After 7 years and 77,000 miles I thought I knew “Trixy” my 2013 ST Limited. But that isn’t always the case with an electronic personality such as Nanny. Recently each time I started and traveled with Trixy I got a flashing or constant Check...

    Just purchased Wednesday - 2013 Spyder ST SE5

    Congrats on your new ride. I have the 2013 St Limited. Bought it used in 2015 with 6000 miles. Now just over 78,000. Would have had more but Covid caused a big riding problem. Now just getting back into trips again. You may experience clutch chatter when first starting on a ride. It goes away...

    2013 ST-S Oil type

    My 2013 clutch chatter was so bad it was embarrassing. I put on a belt tentioner and that helped. But it totally went away when I purchased the oil change kit from Lamonster Garage.

    2014 STS belt vibration between 55 to 65 mph - which belt dampener? Top or bottom?

    I got mine from Smooth Spyder to stop the clutch chatter on my 2015 ST Limited. It went on the bottom and helped greatly. The chatter was totally eliminated when I started buying my oil change kit from Lamonster Garage.

    Parade decorations on my Spyder

    Thank you all for your comments and information. While reviewing these comments it seems to me that my 2013 ST Limited should only be a spectator at the parade. After reading the comments I went to an unused parking lot and drove at parade speed and could feel the clutch slip and engage...

    Parade decorations on my Spyder

    Hi all, Some in our Spyder riding club would like to decorate their Spyder for a fun ride in a local Christmas parade. Has anyone had experience putting temporary decorations on their Spyder? What are the concerns? Pictures of decorated Spyders would be appreciated.

    Moving my Spyder in an emergency?

    Thanks for the comments. A simple method to tow the disabled Spyder seems to have become very complicated. It may be that I should plan my travels around cell Tel reception maps.

    Moving my Spyder in an emergency?

    I would appreciate knowing how to get into Neutral if necessary. We travel about 15,000 miles each year and so far no roadside breakdowns. But it is a concern. Thanks

    Moving my Spyder in an emergency?

    Can a CanAm Spyder be towed if it stops running in a remote area? I drive an Stse5 Limited and my woman-riding companion rides an F3. We ride extensively in the remote back roads of Me, NH, VT and Canada. Often where cell tel signals are non-existent. If one of the Spyders stops running can we...

    What is a Spider, Where are they all?

    A cult is not a bad name Dear fellow Cult member. A “cult” is not a derogatory description, although in the past few years the media has given the word a slanted meaning. A cult is a group of people attracted to a common interest. We just happen to be in a Spider/Spyder cult. To help spread...
