• 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.

    Lifting an RT

    Thx, I tried the rubber mallet but there's still about 1/8th inch (I even stood on it). If it fits between the swings arms I'm sure it'll get compressed when I torque the axle nut.

    Lifting an RT

    Thx--I've got the new tire installed on the rim now and have reassembled the wheel parts (hub, tube, brake disc, belt sprocket, etc. One issue is that the belt sprocket is not flush with rim as it was before. Will that compress once the axle is installed and snugged?

    Exhausting mistake

    Thx for the responses..Dealer was open to the town south of me but they didn't have in stock. Parts guy told me that my local dealer (who's not open today or tomorrow) does show it in stock. Interesting parts system they must have to be able to see stock at a competitor.

    Lifting an RT

    Have got the wheel off. I rolled the front up on ramps and put the floor jack (with a piece of wood) under the frame. Back will now come up as far as you need without tipping toward the front. Some issues I had...36mm nut on axle, when trying to loosen, the other side turns and you need a good...

    Working today on changing out rear tire. Got it off but don't have use of tire machine till this afternoon SOOO I decided to pull exhaust down as I had a leaky gasket.

    Lifting an RT

    I'm going to be removing rear wheel for tire replacement tomorrow (got a Toyo)..On an RT, do you have to bleed off all of the air from the rear air bag before removing the bottom shock bolt? Also, the rear parking brake assembly looks like it has to come off to get at the lower hex bolt which...

    Lifting an RT

    I'm going to be doing this soon also. Are you sticking with the stock tire? When i look at Lamonster pics I realize I don't know JACK:rolleyes: I'm not near my Spyder at the moment but I'm guessing i can use regular floor jack at rear of frame and find somewhere further back where i could stick...

    Shocks vs. Swaybar...

    Shop around for the newer model shocks, lots of folks went to Elkas and just have their OEMs laying around gathering dust (like me).

    Is Can Am aware that some 2013 RT's have severe handling issues?

    I'm not sure that the older models are any different. Sounds exactly like how my 2012 RT handles. You get used to it but it is disconcerting. The wobble will only come from overcontrolling. This is why it feels worse when near an 18 wheeler, you're having to make lots of small corrections due to...

    Is Can Am aware that some 2013 RT's have severe handling issues?

    I too was frustrated by this and when I researched the issue the general response was "it's the ryder not the spyder". Unfortunately as I researched further I came across numerous threads that said things like: I got Elka shocks and now it doesn't dart all over on the highway I got an alignment...

    Octane Reqirements

    I guess we're on a different planet..ethanol sux! 40% of US corn production goes toward ethanol. This number would be higher since there has been a huge increase in corn production overall at the expense of other food staples. Not only has this raised food prices across the board but also...
