• 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.

    Any ideas on a repair/fix for a Suspension Air Bag Leak?

    My 2014 RT has a small leak. When it was under warranty, I complained to the technician (a grumpy old bastard) who said that it was not leaking. At the time I had some small engine part repaired, and it took 3 weeks waiting for parts. They left my bike in the weather, rainy weather, for three...

    Should I buy new? Or keep the old 2014 RT Spyder?

    I accept the verdict. I will keep the bike. In fact, the next time you see me on it, it will be re-wrapped. https://worldclasswraps.com/16-SOPRANO-SPYDER-RT-GRAPHICS-WRAP.html Lite blue.

    As with crossbowme above, I put the Ultimate seat on ofter my first day ride of 600 miles that ached butt so much. I have ridden 47 k miles with the Ultimate seat and never had a sore butt again. Plus, I have a door on the seat for putting gas in the tank. I never ever have to lift the seat...

    Should I buy new? Or keep the old 2014 RT Spyder?

    I am contemplating buying a new Spyder RTL. Considering that I have spent a lot of money fixing Can Am's shortcomings and improving the performance and rideability of the current 2014 Spyder RT, should I even think of buying a new one. My signature tells what I've done to the bike. At 47K miles...

    What is the number of hours required to assemble an RT?

    I have searched the site and I can find no answer to my question. I had thought of trading my bike for a new one but the added cost of transportation and assembly time was significant. I declined the offer. But I would still like to know the average assembly time for an RT and setup cost...

    Elka shocks to the previous post, all three/ Not close to cheap but what a difference.

    I’m getting frustrated with the belt vibration - any ideas to help?

    The SIMPLE solution is Lamonster IPS Idle Belt Tensioner. I had mine installed at about 2K miles. Had the same belt vibration. Since and at 47K miles, have had zero vibration.

    My very old Garmin GPS is not usable in sunlight, will newer ones work better?

    I'm having a hard time finding amount for the Garmin XT2. I don't even know what the strange back of the Garmin attaches to. I also can't find a mount to attach any other GPS to the bike. I searched all say the past three days and have found many devices but don't know which is the best. I could...

    Oh my... lower psi in car tires on Spyder's really works!

    I put Continental ContactPro front and Altimaz T43 on the rear at about 2 k miles on the Kenda from factory. I drove 43K miles on the Continental but changed the rear Altimaz T43 two times. I now have Vredestein Quatrac 5 on the front and Vredestein Sprint on the rear. All tires were inflated...

    My Left Front Fender Light is not working - any ideas?

    Yes, I have gone to settings, display signature, edit profile, edit signature, my account. NONE of that works as I have done it a dozen times now and still have an old email address. Sorry but I've tried.

    Using 4 FOBO TPMS senders to monitor the tires + ACS too!

    I have read all of the issues in this thread. I am in fact now afraid to install the sensors. I have a new set and was going to put them on this afternoon but a Professional truck driving friend told me that they will cause the stem to wear out and start to leak. I think he's wrong. Tell me...
