• 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.

    Here's my Alternative Solution for a Trunk Organizer

    I attached the cords in the top corners to the two screws located in the trunk. You could also use Velcro for easy removal. If the cords are tight, it can be difficult to get into the pouch.

    What did you pay for your 9,000 mile service?

    Thank you. Based on what I have learned, I thought the same. The number of hours to install the sway bar is listed as 4 by the service center. This seems to be standard as I know of other centers estimating the same number of hours. To be fair, the work performed has been excellent.

    What did you pay for your 9,000 mile service?

    No worries. So based on what I provide below, what are your thoughts? I've only been in the CanAm world for 10 months, thus the reason for my initial question. I am used to two-wheeled motorcycles and well aware of break-in periods as well as the maintenance schedule and costs. I knew that the...

    What did you pay for your 9,000 mile service?

    My intent was trying to gauge what others were paying for maintenance. The question to my service center was what is the cost for the 9,000 mile checkup. The response I received was the price mentioned earlier. I was also informed that the time for labor was 5 hours with a majority of that...

    What did you pay for your 9,000 mile service?

    My first service wasn't bad. Supposedly it's replacing the spark plugs that takes most of the time.

    Any Modification recommendations from those who tour on their Spyders?

    Over the years, I think I've ridden in rain more than sunshine! Normally I just wear the pants. The rain gear I have is bulky but works well (Tourmaster). What brand do you use? I've looked at Frogg Toggs as well as the Can Am rain gear. Thanks.
