• 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.

    ATGATT stories

    If you just want the 'meat' skip to third paragraph, read whole thing for background. I've never posted this anywhere because, well, its almost embarassing but since it illustrates certain things I will share in hopes it may help someone else. So first, unlike many I never rode 2 wheelers all...

    Need help finding a Can am spyder dealer

    I almost bought from West Coast Powersports in Tampa. Talk to Chris Brown. I've heard good things about them. I just happen to get great deal on color I wanted in Miami. Also go talk to Central Florida Powersports. Don't know much about sales but they have a great service department with Kenny...

    iMotorsports Quotes?

    I used to believe in the buy local. And I did buy mine from one of 3 branches of a local chain thinking I'd be better off. I'm happy with the deal I got and would consider another purchase from them but my experience is their service dept totally sucks, and I even hear that from 2 wheel buddies...

    "Death Grip"?

    I've actually found the opposite to be true. With the air bag at hardest/fullest setting the bike and center of gravity are higher and it doesn't hold in turns and curves as well. I personally find the lower settings better for more aggressive turns, etc.

    2016 rts se6

    On some bike you have to press the R button on top pretty firmly. Make sure that is held down when you press -.

    Where to install aux fuse block for 2015 RT-S

    Yes, I just installed a Neutrino Black Box in there. I did make a shelf for it and zip tied it so it wouldn't move around much. I'll probably document it and the many other things I did at some point in the diy/mods section but here's a quick pic.

    Anyone have this lift... Powerlift Triple Lift

    So nobody has this jack or an opinion on it, like how it would compare to the HF or Craftsman?

    Elka shock install - verification...

    Ok, so I spoke to John and here's the scoop. On the RT if you have a newer shock (probably at least the current batch but no real way to verify) the shock can go in either way. On the F3 it has to go spring up/valve down. This is because the spring will bind on the A-Arm. He did suggest just to...

    Elka shock install - verification...

    Yes Pete, thats the video I saw and it actually shows them same as mine, springs up, shrader at bottom. Only issue is on mine 1 schrader was facing out not in. Also found this on Elka site... https://elkasuspension.dozuki.com/Guide/CAN-AM+SPYDER+F3+-+F3-S+2015-17/106 where it says specifically...

    Elka shock install - verification...

    Since there was not much info to be found on installing the Elka shocks, I just wanted to verify from those that have them that I put them in right. From the one video I saw at Pitbull (where I got them), it said Schrader valve at the bottom and rebound adjustment screw facing rear of Spyder. I...

    Is this kosher?

    Needed A-Arms free. Was only lifted a few inches and I was not under it. Believe me, I'm all about safety first.

    Is there any reason not to lift along this crossmember just enough to change shocks? So far just placed there, not lifted at all...

    Anyone have this lift... Powerlift Triple Lift

    Or see a reason not to use it? Has generally good reviews, plenty of lift capacity and it only $75 at PepBoys right now ($133 everywhere else)? Wish it was a little lower, but its the same as the basic HF or Craftsman at 5 1/2". Was thinking of going with the Craftsman Pro (Yellow) but nobody...

    FEDERAL EVO FRONT TIRE REVIEW

    Interesting but I suspect the way you've been riding pretty much any tire would break loose under those circumstances.

    Frunk/Cargo unit lower bolt

    Thanks John! Still waiting (all day) for an answer from dealer. If I don't hear back I'll just pickup a 25 or 30mm.
