• 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.

    Where to get a 1330 engine?

    BRP/Can Am have the oem crate motors that for sleds anyway, could be bought as a short block which could save you a bunch of money (providing the head is fine) and you can start at the dealer. Good luck

    Pedal Commander video on Banks power

    Let's not confuse the signal that goes from the hand grip with the signal that the ECM sends to the throttle body; the ECM controls the throttle body by the programmed parameters within it and a WOT from the hand grip will be the same whether it is from the PC or the hand grip if it isn't it...

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    When you removed the spark plugs were they all the same color (light brown) or was one white or black? Is there any mechanical damage to the spark plug end; if yes which cylinder did it come from? The fact that you can turn the crank until it hits something makes me suspect that you have an...

    I am not an authority on the Pedal Commander but from the chart showing that the PC only changes the signal going to the ECM; the ECM doesn't know anything more and it opens and closes the throttle body based on its previous programming in the same way that it would if you were at that throttle...

    2015 Can Am Spyder F3 - Needs a new engine!

    Unless you have tried to turn the engine over by hand or some other way, how would you be able to tell if the starter bendix is locked up, the solenoid is bad, or the engine is seized? Have you pulled the spark plugs and then tried the starter to see if the engine will turn over? You may have...

    H&R springs have arrived - pondering getting them powder coated. Thoughts?

    Let us know how they work once installed?

    Looks like the 2024 F3L gets 5 position heated grips?

    If it can be retrofitted to the earlier models like my 2022 F3S it would IMO actually be "considered" as a handle bar warmer. I had the on/off version installed by the dealer and they are almost useless compared to the skidoo handlebar warmers.

    What experiences have you had with Lithium Batteries?

    I haven't bought a liFePO4 yet but when I do it will be from a US manufacturer like EarthX or Antigravity who have built batteries for colder temperatures and are used in sleds etc. If looking to buy one look at site specific info not generic internet info. If it was built for your application...

    Shock Absorber Technical Questions - is Damping the same as Rebound? & more!

    Troop is correct in how the compression dampening works with the knob on the reservoir for stage 3 Elka and the stage 4 Elka and stage 5 have the rebound dampening screw at the bottom of the shock rod. https://www.elkasuspension.com/spyder/stage-4/ For a verbal explanation you can check out...

    Looking for 'increased load' shock suggestions - 2023 F3-S

    Thanks Dennis, I will go with the Elka 3 for the front only because they have the compression adjustment, if I think I need to do a tweak to find the sweet spot and this is a step up over the KYB not adjustable that it came with. The Elka 3 are 6-8 weeks behind on delivery from order date if...

    What stage of Elkas did you have on your Limited?

    Looking for 'increased load' shock suggestions - 2023 F3-S

    Just heard back from Accelerated T and they do not carry an in house front spring package for the F3 so I will probably order the Elka Stage 3 through them and see what they recommend.

    Looking for 'increased load' shock suggestions - 2023 F3-S

    If you want some free info look at the accelerated technologies site: they have several videos explaining how they set up the different rides based on a number of factors. None specific to the Spyder. I asked them via email if they have a spring package for the front of my 22 F3S but haven't...

    Sherwood Park/Edmonton to Sandpoint Idaho and return

    I missed your post earlier but I am sure we can hook up next summer for a couple of rides. I am also interested in upgrading the front springs/shocks. I have an inquiry in with accelerated technologies to see if they have a dual spring package for our F3S or a stage 3 Elka package? Both...

    First sled ride for this season, Fernie, BC

    We drove down from Edmonton to Fernie, about a 6 hr. drive and spent 3 days riding their trails. The trails were groomed but icy(marginal new snow). We saw a few families and at least 50 machines on the trails. First 2 days were 80km/50m each as we didn't know the area. The last day Dec 29th...
