• 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.

    Will a 175/65R15 fit the Front of my 2021 RT S2S

    If you can believe the revolutions per mile, the 175/55s are shorter than the 165/60s, at least for the Vreds. The lower profile should also handle better in the twisties.

    30 degrees outside, it may be time to call it a season...

    I ride year around and I live in Central IL. Since I got my 2016 RTL in September of 2020, I have ridden it in every month since. Wheel based snowmobiles. Sometimes you'll suffer in the heat; you can only take off so many clothes and not get arrested!

    Any feedback from the Folks running these Vredstein or Continental Front Tires?

    If you are having problems with grip, is it with wet conditions?

    Any feedback from the Folks running these Vredstein or Continental Front Tires?

    I am on my 2nd set of Vred 175/55R15's. I have a 2016 RTL. I got 47,100 miles on the first set. You have to try really hard to get the VSS warning light to come on. Love them.

    Bad Vibration 2024 Can Am Spyder RT Limited - what can I do to improve my ride?

    Mine developed a very noticeable shake after parking in a gravel parking lot. When I got it home, I raised it by the swing arm, and when I spun the rear wheel by hand I noticed a tight spot. There was a rock wedged in the teeth of the rear sprocket. I dug that out and everything was smooth again.

    Rear tire options - any suggestions?

    My first new car I bought was an AMC Gremlin X. What made it an X was a manual floor shift and extra wide raised white letter tires. This car was an absolute nightmare hydroplaning machine. When I replaced the tires from the "correct size" back to a narrower size, it made a huge difference. Wide...

    What did you do to/with your Spyder today?

    A nice upgrade you may want to think about would be the 3 position side air wings. Really works great to cool you down.

    2015 RT - What Anti freeze besides BRP's brand is safe to use?

    If you are an Amsoil user for the oil (highly recommended here), they also make a premixed antifreeze labeled as powersports. I flushed mine with tap water and then with distilled water before refilling mine. I also use their coolant boost product also. Fans never run unless stopped or in heavy...

    2015 RT with an Oil leak - anyone know the torque on the oil pressure sensor housing screw?

    As mentioned by BajaRon, my Cam Position Sensor failed and I got a limp home warning. The plug when I removed it was full of oil.

    2015 RT with an Oil leak - anyone know the torque on the oil pressure sensor housing screw?

    Just a thought. Have you changed your HCM filter lately and have you checked that the bolts were torqued correctly?

    2015 RT with an Oil leak - anyone know the torque on the oil pressure sensor housing screw?

    Thank you for clairifying this for me. Hope mine don't fail as the sensor is very expensive.

    2015 RT with an Oil leak - anyone know the torque on the oil pressure sensor housing screw?

    Yes. Normally the part# is a 9-digit number. Also, are we talking about the part that the parts diagram calls an "oil pressure switch"?

    2015 RT with an Oil leak - anyone know the torque on the oil pressure sensor housing screw?

    How bad was the oil leak? I have a 2016 RT with a short ton of miles. What was the part#?

    What can I do to get a straight shot at the Rear Tire valve Stem?

    The rear tire I am using carries a load rating of V which is I believe is 200-300 LBS higher than the OEM tire. If I ran it at 28# it would never heat up enough to get peak performance from it. I run mine between 15.5-17 depending on whether 2up or not. Of course I only weigh a buck 40. I don't...

    What can I do to get a straight shot at the Rear Tire valve Stem?

    Go back and review post #7. It has been one of the best purchases I have made. It can be carried with you for a quick check to see if you are getting the 4 PSI increase
