• 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.

    3 days - two hotels - 472 miles and my 2012 RTS

    Ty sir and it was. Hope you make it over here sometime. Lillehammer is famous for being the host of the 1994 winter Olympics, and the local community still benefit from it. Many Norwegians emigrated to America due to bad times over here way back, my wife has family in Minnesota somewhere.

    3 days - two hotels - 472 miles and my 2012 RTS

    Finally, a couple of days with some blue sky and warm weather, so the wife and I sat down with Google maps and planned a road trip. Decided we would go West first, then head inland for some mountain roads, before setting the course for home. First destination was "Byrkjedals tunet" a group of...

    Bright Headlights Daytime Yes or No

    I mounted extra LED lights to be seen during daytime riding, they are really bright, and I think they are really making me noticed. The high beams are making onward traffic flashing me back, so I never use them at daytime.

    Where is the Height sensor arm located?

    On my 2012 RTS the arm in mention ( I hope this is what you have in mind) is located here by the arrow. No worries, all my panels was off for another job, this can be inspected by just getting down there and look.

    Off to "Blefjell" camping site in Norway on my RTS

    My wife took the ferry to Denmark together with a woman she used to work with before retiring, so I decided to take off a couple of days on the Spyder. Booked a small cabin on a campsite and used that as a base for roundtrips in the area. I have never been in that part of Norway before, so I was...

    Spyder Sightings

    A kind of sighting... A friend of mine lent me a new book he had bought; "Norway's Best MC Tours" and said I would be interested in one page at least. So I started reading and there it was, a very familiar Spyder RTS 2012 and my wife standing beside it! As there are not too many Spyders in...

    The only liquid I have found on in my glovebox was a chocolate bar melted by the heat of the engine below! :gaah: Never any water from the outside.

    Parking brake not working - what's the process to adjust? Does this look right?

    I drew on your picture of the switch. The bent metal should be straightened out so the little wheel on it will roll on the angled part when actuated. That will make it move upwards and actuate the little knob by the arrow and stop the brake motor. Hope my English is understandable. And it...

    Iconic aeroplanes!

    Drove the Spyder to our local airport today. The local AmCar Norway Club had an event and advertised an airshow as well. I walked around and there were a lot of different cars, new and old. Since I live less than 8km (direct line) from the airport, I hurried home and set my DSLR camera up with a...

    Hi all! Back with final update - I did the brake sequence you suggested today, when the weather was good enough finally. Three times to 90 km and slammed the brakes hard, continued on a little round trip, and the brakes are now 100% good. :ohyea: Thank you to all for the good advice :thumbup:

    Do new brake pads work weakly at first?

    Hi JayBros! The pads are from a local dealer that gave up on Can Am On-roads and since we live in a coastal town, just continued to sell Sea Doos. They did a little work on my RT in the past and gave me their entire stock of brake pads for the Spyder. :2thumbs: Tomorrow I will find a place and...
