• 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.

    Did an upgrade Sway Bar improve your handling? Which one? And what about Shocks?

    I'm thinking maybe we need a 4th of July fairy. If I leave an old part under the workbench a shock shows up the next morning?? The sway bar did have a strange elf on a shelf moment. Every day it seems to reappear closer to the bike... it's a sign for me to get busy!

    Exhaust-ed day

    Ha! I agree with your sentiment. Early in my career I worked with a major tire manufacturer and still talk to those folks frequently. When I first bought the Spyder it was funny how some folks (not this site) felt that the Kenda's were specially designed for Can-Am as if they spent hundreds of...

    Exhaust-ed day

    Agreed. Even a 60 degree would improve CFM volume by something measurable. I'm usually good at the math work, but not practical application! Ricky and I discussed your solution, and he, like everyone else raved about it. I received quite an education on how the Spyder aftermarket parts market...

    Exhaust-ed day

    After overthinking Spyder exhaust options, I finally got the RLS Crusher and cat delete done today (Thank you Ricky!) It looks and sounds better in person than any video I watched and that's saying a lot. Ricky and I didn't get too much other work done today while talking bikes, exhausts, and...

    Can-Am Christmas has started! Thanks for the feedback on BajaRon.

    Mysterious speaker fail - any ideas/fixes?

    Yeah, I did try that. Fortunately it shows the universal mute symbol when activated. I'm thinking this might be a good excuse to update my old helmet system that's getting spotty. Also, if I get my exhaust done this week I'll likely forget about music for a week or two 😉

    Mysterious speaker fail - any ideas/fixes?

    2024 F3T Well, I can't seem to figure this one out. About a week ago the onboard speakers stopped working. I assumed I left it on the headset mode, but that didn't seem to help. Here's what I've tried so far, but no luck. 1) verified audio out to onboard speakers 2) disabled and removed all...

    First post, long time lurker - Will Elka Stage 2 shocks and a beefier sway bar make appreciable improvements to cornering?

    Thanks, luckily I haven't seen too many mods that reach full blown crazy cost yet, just curious what works well. I ordered the BR sway bar, exhaust should be done this week (fingers crossed). And I agree on Martin, he's a great dude and is actually the reason I met Ricky at RLS. I signed up for...

    Thanks for your response! Which Elko did you decide on?

    Luckily my local shop will take care of it. I've got around 8-9k miles on these and probably a lifetime worth of skidoo time. This bike can definitely be improved, but I'm certainly realistic about the platform. I have other toys for carving corners, I just want to see how "good" I can make this...

    Good to know! My local dealer has a decent laser alignment tool, albeit the old school kind with an rs232 cable for data dump. I'll definitely do that.

    Greeting all! I recently purchased a 2024 F3T after a brief stint with a 2019 RTL. The guidance and advice I received here was helpful in my decision and I look forward to contributing where I can. I've been able to avoid many bad purchases, and solve countless issues without having to...
