• 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.

    Can-Am Hindle badge on Hindle. Do you wait for it to fall off? Is there a glue...?

    This is what I love about forums. Could you recommend a sealant for the Hindle pipe? I just got mine and I'm a little unsure about leaks etc. Thanks, Max

    Can-Am Hindle badge on Hindle. Do you wait for it to fall off? Is there a glue...?

    Isn't that the compound (orange?) used in heat shielding the muff heater on a Jet Ranger? A turbine idles at 500c (c20b) I'm not sure how hot the pipe gets on the spyder but I think guys have been using this compound to seal leaks on the gasketless Hindle. I'm curious since I'm about to install...

    Thrown off the Spyder

    It's not stupid to post things like that as it can stimulate spirited conversation on a public forum. Which in my opinion is the point. You should however be more careful who you hand over a high powered road machine to. In my opinion your co-worker is the young stupid testosterone fuelled idiot...

    Thrown off the Spyder

    The guy was ryding like a moron. In the wet parking lot he fries the tire and the nanny kicked in and the machine hooked up and tossed him. (deserved it) His highway trip was brutal! He should have racked up $1000.00 in fines from what I saw and he also admits to doing 60mph in a 25mph zone...

    Would the pipe get too hot for high temp silicone? Max

    oil to spare!

    O.K. The bike goes back to the dealer on the 19th. (my choice) Scotty ...would doing a compression test at 4 km. show any ring damage? I'm not sure the rings would be seated at this point and you wouldn't get a true test. As for the rest of your suggestions..This bike is not coming home until...

    oil to spare!

    Thanks for your advice Scotty, I think you and others are right. It's time to stop being a nice Canadian boy and ship it's beautiful butt back to the dealer. I really appreciate all the info from you folks. I'm not without mechanical skills but sometimes a second opinion from people more in the...

    oil to spare!

    Thanks for the advice Dudley, I'm picking up what your putting down! I just looked at where the plugs are.:yikes: It's freaking cold here and a lot of sh@T on the roads. So I'm a bit reluctant to trailer 200 km. Max

    oil to spare!

    O.K. here's the deal from the dealer...they think that because of it's short life it is possible that it has been started and shut down numerous times without coming to full temp. (I would agree) It is possible to have fouled a plug under those circumstances and the fuel pumps and injectors are...

    oil to spare!

    Thanks Scotty and Brutus, I just checked the coolant level (cold) and it is about a half inch below the max line. I suppose thats good but the oil I siphoned out had a suspicious green swampy colour to it. I've removed about 2 litres so far and it is at the full line on the dipstick now. When I...

    oil to spare!

    Well, I warmed it up for a couple of mins. and re-checked the oil level and it was to the top of the tank again and very foamy. I let it sit for 20 mins. and it was still really foamy. Dunno...I guess I'll wait to hear from the shop. Max

    oil to spare!

    I'm with you on that. I'm trying to keep open communication with my dealer and am documenting everything. Thanks Dudley P.S. Could it be a special breakin oil they use? Boy will my paranoid face be red then! Still...better safe....

    oil to spare!

    Well I finally got around to siphoning out the excess oil from the tank. (Please don't tell the wife where her turkey baster went!:pray:) This is what I found. The green swampwater looking stuff is what came from the tank and the other is from a new jug of BRP oil. I don't have a clue what to...

    Gloves made for heated grips

    I got a good chuckle from your post. Actually they do look like nice gloves ...but when you live in Canada ....it would be like me telling you where to get a deal on a swimsuit or a save the manatee sign!!:shocked: Hope your enjoying your ride...It's still -30c with the windchill here.:banghead...

    survey

    I'm getting really good at making putt putt putt noises! I'll have to learn all over once I get the Hindle on!:2thumbs: I'll also have to learn that it's NOT ok to have a beer while sitting on it! (roll on summer) Still minus 30c here today with the windchill!:mad: Max

    So anyone else don't like their mirrors?

    I just went out and looked at mine....DARN if they don't look a bit goofy. I can't tell for sure since mine won't go into position. 4km. on the bike and the mirrors flop around like wet noodles! They just refuse to seat and tighten! Max
