• 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.

    Upgrades some things or Upgrade to new model

    This is great thoughts ya'll have posted. I've gotten to do more riding here the past 3 months than I have in the past years I have had the bike. I bought her new in '14, life interrupted, didn't ride much but maintained very well and this summer has been the release for me to ride again...

    Upgrades some things or Upgrade to new model

    Hey all...I love my 2014 ST-S. They style and the color set it off for me. However, I'm wanting to ride further than around the state of Missouri. I've talked to some where they have made upgrades and other got a different model for travelling. I know, I know this is all up to me...but, I...

    Tire change, belt and muffler/exhaust Question

    Hey, I haven't forgotten about this. I just have not had a chance to try. As for now, the parking brake seems to have gotten much tighter and the bike does not move like it did. I have no idea why. But, I still want to take this apart and check it out. I'm sure it will get loose again...

    Tire change, belt and muffler/exhaust Question

    The service guy said they put new rotors on it because of the caliper situation. I don't know about the brake pads just yet. Hey...I went ahead and purchased the service manual from BRP "2014 CanAm Spyder RS-ST Series Master Collection-HDS". I cannot find it in the manual, but it was late...

    Tire change, belt and muffler/exhaust Question

    I'll certainly take a closer look. I don't mind myself learning on my bike unlike those...sigh..techs. Should I leave the bike turned off, make the adjustment, put it back together and then test it...or any warnings or notes I should be aware of...? I have read where some have locked up...

    Tire change, belt and muffler/exhaust Question

    LOL, Oh :cus: yes I have; they won't be seeing me again. Especially now I know they take classes online and only one of them has a license to ride. How can you be a service technical mechanic for street rides and at the very least not have any type of hands on training. AND I DON'T MEAN then...

    Tire change, belt and muffler/exhaust Question

    Ok, so I get the bike back yesterday after I highly suggested they re-adjust the belt. The belt seems to be where it should be. They tightened the muffler clamp, but there is still a loss of air pressure. I will be definitely taking ya'lls advice and connecting the muffler better with help...

    Tire change, belt and muffler/exhaust Question

    No friends with either at the moment...still meeting new people and such. I believe I can use the same boards I put together for my trailer I had at one point and sold due to life things. They would probably work on the uhauls low riding 6x12 trailer and they have a pick-up. I can live with...

    Tire change, belt and muffler/exhaust Question

    I agree. This place is semi-new with Spyders, but that is NO reason to have such poor service. The next closest is 3-4 hours away, which is where I bought the bike. I've already called them. They know what I'm going through and will review the bike top to bottom and let me know what might...

    Tire change, belt and muffler/exhaust Question

    Concerning my 2014 ST-S Does the muffler need to be removed when changing the rear tire? I had my tire changed. Service center has been nothing but problems. I have had to take the bike back three times due to something they did wrong such as gouging the rim trying to fix separate the...

    Smoother Performance Adjustments or Upgrades

    I love my 2014 ST-S, however, I'd love her more if the driving experience was a bit smoother. The bike leans to the left and right on some back roads and behind windy vehciles on highways where I feel the shocks and/or other parts should do more to ease the driving. I've been reading other...

    Brake Caliper Issue Stuck

    I respect your suggestion and will definitely get the alignment checked first. I don't know what changes I want, but it will help to know if my current things are correct. Some updates might help the steering without needing to purchase new items. I did some more riding, and things are...

    Brake Caliper Issue Stuck

    I'll keep that in mind as I learn to do things on my own. Hell, maybe I should get one and take to the dealer's service center...LOL!! :ohyea:

    Brake Caliper Issue Stuck

    @PinkRosePetal -- Yeah, I agree and will leave the tire pressures as they are. I just wanted a 2nd thought. I'm sorry, I should have added the faster I go it seems if I barely turn left/right the wheels seem to grab hold and want to jump that direction more if I was to turn to fast. When on...

    Brake Caliper Issue Stuck

    @PinkRosePetal - That's what I thought and knew better to be honest. I will be taking her back in for the rim damage later this week, so I'll ensure they correct that as well. H3ll...after all this, all my fingers and toes are crossed...they look like some dang weird duck feet. One more...

    Brake Caliper Issue Stuck

    Hey all. Finally got my ryde back this afternoon, and rode it for about an hour and 1/2 highway, city and country roads. All seems fine. It still has that d@mn squeaky sound at times when hitting the brakes at a stop light. This has been like this for a long time now. The problem at the...

    @canamjhb -- Very good thought...didn't think of that...thanks, and I will! I appreciate all of ya'll.

    Brake Caliper Issue Stuck

    I wonder if they can even get the caliper/brake situation corrected or do they have to buy new parts. Regardless, I wish there was another good certified spyder mechanic within 4 hours...ugh, drive 4 hours there to only find out after 2 hours I'm stuck on the side of the highway or worse...party...

    Brake Caliper Issue Stuck

    Another thing is that I will not know what to look for to ensure they are not screwing me over by saying they completed things and put it all back together...well, together is one thing, but to be correct is another. I'm a bit nervous...I really wanted to trust this place...and honestly I still...

    Brake Caliper Issue Stuck

    That's what I was screaming in my head as I was coming home...I wanted to yell up there, but being my size they'd probably would've a bit nervous. I just want to be treated right and to have my ryde fixed safely. It's not only me out there...it's others I need to be watch out for...they screw...
