• 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.

    1330cc Is an ECU Modification permanent? Will BUDS overwrite it next service?

    Do you need to buy a license for a CAN-AM Spyder? I watched the video and saw that mentioned. Can you flash and unflash as many times as you want? Thanks, Jim

    Looking for hand guard options

    At one point I was looking at Hippo Hands and wrote to them asking what guard I need for the product. I sent them my make and model and they told me exactly what I needed. This would make sure everything worked together. Jim

    Wet weather tire and gear report

    I have quadratic vredestein tires and klim forecaster gear (jacket and pants) and i had the chance to use them several times the past few days. I plan on riding unless there is thunder and lightning. I am amazed at how well the tires perform on wet roads and in the rain. The tires have very...

    Installed Spyderpops Dual Arm Lights - very happy with results!

    Looking to increase safety, I purchased the dual A arm lights from Syperpops. I installed them yesterday and I am very happy with the results. The installation was easy and straightforward. Connecting the lights and verifying they worked on took a few minutes, hiding the wires and cleaning...

    Any advice on how difficult Side mirror removal/repl is on 2017 F3-Ltd?

    I am thinking of getting A-arm lights that connect to the blinker system - they A-arm install looks easy, my hesitation comes from removal of the side mirrors to connect the electric to the blinkers. Any advice or thoughts on the removal AND attachment back of the mirrors. Thanks in advance. Jim

    First time out in the rain on my Quatrac's

    Hi Peter and Others: Recently had a rear Quadratic installed on the rear after doing the fronts late last summer. There was a remarkable improvement on handling when I did the fronts, but the OEM rear still allowed me to dirt track sometimes around very sharp corners. Once the rear Quadratic...

    What works for Brightening/Shining Chrome Wheels?

    I have a 2017 F3 Limited - I noticed the Chrome on the wheels seems to have lost some of its luster. Is there anything I can do to restore the shine back to wheels? I used Merlins Blood in the past to clean them - would that also help to brighten them? Thanks in advance. Jim

    2009 Front Sprocket - WHAT shape are the teeth on the shaft?

    I had my Spyder in for service two weeks ago - 2017 F3-Limited. The guy came out and mentioned the dreaded red dust and said the sprockets for 2017 were problematic and mine was ready to fail. I had 20K on it. Once the front sprocket is replaced, does that reliability issue go away, or I am...

    Quatrac SL 165/60R15 fronts rubbing on fenders - anyone else? Fixes?

    When I had the garage put the Quatrac's on the front, the guy came out and said it was a slightly different tire size the O(crap)EM's. He put them on and we looked for any rubbing or bad fit, there was nothing. I check them often never had a rub. I cannot speak highly enough about them.

    VREDESTEIN QUATRAC SL - Thanks Mike

    I had a VREDESTEIN QUATRAC SL installed and got my spyder back today. The trip from the shop to home was about 25 miles, adding the Quatrac on the back made a huge difference. I put Quatracs on the front last summer. The bike handles really different with those tires. Thanks to all for help...

    Aftermarket shocks - maintenance

    One of my next upgrades will be aftermarket shocks for my Spyder. I saw a post that now concerns me about the upkeep and maintenance of aftermarket shocks. My (naive) impression was install and make sure the configuration is correct, and then forget them. I saw a post stating shocks need to...

    Thanks to all

    I wanted to thank all my Spyder peeps for all the knowledge and experience everyone shares. When I think about the amount I know and even can do on the Spyder (compared to 4 years ago) it is amazing. Based on the sharing of information here, when in a dealership or talking with someone I know...
