• 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.

    2022 Work Period - My Spyder

    Still have the original Kenda tire from 2014 on the Spyder with lots of tread remaining, and 18K Kms on it. Could probably keep using, but hoping to do a cross Canada tour this summer to Newfoundland and back. Want new rubber all round. Put Kumho Solas tires on the front last year. Went to 2...

    Is it possible to install a Remote start on a Spyder?

    I had a 2004 Artic Cat Pantera 600 EFI when I snowmobiled. It had a remote start from the factory. My riding friends would took great pleasure in teasing me when I used it which wasn't to often. Anything is possible, time-parts-money is all it takes. Good project to get your teeth into. If...

    Too old? Trying to be realiistic.

    Ego, needs and wants - the bane of our existence. Go for it. Find a Spyder that fits your budget, riding style and profile. Bought ours last March, 3 years ahead of schedule - was looking for my 70th birthday. Found one and was made a deal I could not refuse. Kept my '85 Honda Gold Wing...

    2022 Work Period - My Spyder

    Ordered a couple of 36 mm wrenches fro rear wheel removal and oil filter cap. It's a two pack so the price for each is $18.00 CDN, least expensive I could find up here. Have a spare in case one breaks. Will be able to use with my torque wrench as a multiplier. Here's the CA web page...

    Bert - read a post by yourself about a connector for the battery tender. Waterproof and fits in say a 1" hole. Does this ring a bell?

    Any thoughts on battery replacement? Change now or at failure?

    These Spyders are power hogs. Battery is inexpensive and peace of mind is priceless. Look at it as one of the maintenance items that needs to be done. If you ride with the Mrs, definitely a good idea to do a battery change.

    Initial Maintenance and Work

    No worries. The N-Line Trailer has a four pin connector. The round connector is appealing because it will be hidden under the right side saddlebag indicated in the attached picture - no farkles showing. I will make the trailer connection such that I can revert back to a standard flat 4 pin...

    Looking on line at trailer wiring harness install. Lots of good info. Looked at one of my favourite sites for a video on this "It's Yours. OWN IT" and there was one. Liked the wiring install, used a 4 pole round connector that tucks up nicely underneath, nothing hangin out. Will visit the...

    Going to start prepping the Spyder for our cross Canada trip this summer, Provincial requirements dependent. Won't be dropping down into the US unless something changes significantly. Received new 300 lb-in shock springs for the front and have a 600 lb-in coming for the rear shock. Going to...

    Looking to buy - is Limp Mode really a problem?

    Rode a 2018 Spyder F3L with a low battery. Boosted to start, let idle for 15/20 minutes to put a bit of charge in the battery. 1/4 mile down the road and goes into limp mode. New battery, all is well. These Spyders are power hungry and need a good battery.

    Stumbled across this Three-wheel Motorcycle Conversion Kit

    Looked into a conversion kit for my ex-1500. Approximately $20,000.00 CDN. May find a conversion that is less expensive, but not much if you want it to look good, and I would still have an old bike. I started to look at CanAm Spyders as well. CanAm Spyders are built from the ground up with a...

    Too cold for me and my Spyder

    Brother and I were out for a ride on Monday here in Victoria BC. 7-8 deg C. He had never riden or been on a Spyder but has seen a lot in Ontario where he lives. I rode my Gold Wing, he on the Spyder. He had a blast, and considering he is snowmobiling now, it was a balmy day for a ride...

    Too cold for me and my Spyder

    Used to snowmobile in cold temps. My brother who still snowmobiles calls me a wimp for not riding if above 0 deg C. He has a waterproof leather set of snowmobiling gear that keeps him nice and toasty. All about the proper riding gear and trim package. Heated liner and if necessary heated leg...
