• 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.

    Anybody see a measurable change in fuel mileage with larger diameter rear tire?

    3-5% fewer revolutions per mile translates to a BIGGER diameter tire, so will give you better MPG, but probably not noticable

    Does a 2025 Sea to Sky have jam nuts on the inner tie-rod ends? Can someone look for me to confirm/deny?

    Might need a laser alignment. You would think they come aligned properly, but some don't, the best is ROLO laser alignment system. Next is out of balance Kenda OEM tires, can lead to what seems like pulling. Next is bad grip from the Kenda tires. Car tires are better built, with better grip...

    What are the required dimensions for a Spyder rear brake piston adjusting tool?

    Got it back in. I now have a blister on my hand from pushing the needle nose pliers real hard. Never had it stop going clockwise, but had enough space to put back together. Does the thread travel ever stop clockwise?

    What are the required dimensions for a Spyder rear brake piston adjusting tool?

    been turning and turning clockwise to push piston back in. Pad near piston was at 1mm or just under. Never rotated piston counterclockwise, but its not going back. So just push hard into it while turning clockwise? They should have made just a little bit more travel on that

    I always like to hear the background, life's adventures, how or what they did in life to attain who they are today. I will be reading all the "tales", and have also read BajaRon's "chronicles". Already learned something, that LaMonster was with BRP right at 2008 time of introduction of RT (or...

    Garmin Zumo XT2's are on sale - Nov '25

    might have to think about this one. Still using the Garmin 595 on 2015 RTL. Would be some nice upgrades with the 3. Super nice would be a way to connect to Spyders speakers with a cable, using current audio inputs

    Does the rear axle have to be loosened to change the Rear brake pads on an F3T?

    no, 2 bolts take out the caliper, while bracket still stays in place.

    Recommend anyone in Phoenix, AZ for Car Tire Install (Non-Kenda)

    My 2015 RTL, Discount Tire changed the tire but couldn't balance it. The have to take off the pulley. Most car tires will need no to very little balance weights. Fronts can be changed and spun balanced - I had mine done at WalMart.

    BRP published a Quality Bulletin - "Canyon Saddle Bags Watertightness Improvement"

    How does a recall or a National Safety Bulletin start? From rider inputs and complaints? A leaky saddlebag is annoying and problematic, but not a Safety issue.

    How did I mess this up?!!! Removed the frunk to do some work, ran the Spyder with it off, & now have all sorts of warnings & Limp Home Mode!! Help?!

    Some of those codes require a drive to shut off. As long as all connectors have been connected good to run it
