• 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.

    Is Ethanol Shield good for winter storage?

    Correctamundo Gwolf. The few fuel tanks I've been into did not have pickup tubes that went all the way to the bottom of their tanks. Maybe an inch or so from the very bottom, and some had a screen of sorts on the end of the tube. I've never been to the bottom of a spyder tank, but I'm just...

    I give up! What is the bulb in 2014-15 ST Limited fog light?

    I agree 100%! I was at a non-dealer spyder and UTV/ATV repair business, and a customer came in with a spyder wanting more light and more powerful bulbs installed on his spyder. The owner/mechanic told the customer that it would be a mistake. Installing more powerful bulbs would eventually (ie...

    Is Ethanol Shield good for winter storage?

    There are many myths and fabrications floating around out there about gas and water. My father-in-law was a millwright on gold dredges in the 1930s/40s and told me about water injection on gas engines. I played around with it on two of my vehicles and increased my MPGs by 3 MPGs per gallon on...

    Has anyone tried this lift from Harbor Freight?

    DON"T use that lawnmower ramp! It won't support the weight as previously stated. Regular steel car ramps work great, but they won't give you the height you need. The best and safest I've seen so far, if you don't want to spend the big bucks, is to use two heavy-duty loading ramps on a pickup bed...

    Anyone purchased from an out of town dealer? Is this common? Any concerns?

    If my Spyder gives up before I do, iMotorsports or the one way flight would be my choice.

    Has anybody fitted Dual 5” Screens Instead of Analog Gauges to their Spyder? Any advice, suggestions, or concerns?

    I have a Samsung Z Fold with a wireless charging system that will securely hold the phone in either the open or closed position. What a distraction! I can't imagine dealing with 2 5" car play screens. It didn't take me but about two seconds to realise how dam dangerous and distracting a multi...

    Spyder origins?? Or The Ultimate?? Just Go For It!

    I rode with those guys too. The secret to keeping up or leading was huge cc's and knowing how to use them. My last and best ride was a 400 Yamerhammer mono shocker. Massive low end grunt and topend power with no end to it. It could really hurt you if and when you let it get out of control...

    Anyone have ceramic brake pads? Any experience with Traild ceramic pads?

    My only experience with ceramic pads was back when vehicle manufacturers started coming out with all wheel disc brakes. Ceramics didn't seem to stop you any faster, but they did wear out discs and warped them faster than conventional pads. Stopped me - from using ceramic pads!

    Has anybody fitted Dual 5” Screens Instead of Analog Gauges to their Spyder? Any advice, suggestions, or concerns?

    Replaced mine with a 12v (cigarette lighter) receptacle and the other with a multiple USB port.

    Do People Get Thrown Off of Spyders?

    The Spyder dealer and the Harley dealer in my neck of the woods are about a stone's throw apart. I often stop at the Harley dealership to look around because I miss my Harley. Enjoyed overhearing a conversation where a Harley rider pulled a Spyder pilot off his Spyder for cutting off the Harley...

    Losing a bit of faith in Can Am - enjoy the riding, but not the endless waiting while they find parts and fix all the niggling issues!

    I agree. But that doesn't help the reputation of the Spyder line itself. I've long held that Can Am's dealership issues will ultimately be the demise of the Can Am Spyder line of products. Bottom line, if you want to sell Spyders, you've gotta keep them on the road. Reputation demands that.

    When Only On Street Angled Parking is available, do you back in, or drive in?

    If the angled parking spot is on a slope, it can pose a serious issue for a 2-wheeler. But, those days are gone now.
