• 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.

    Straight exhaust

    Hi downdog2, I'm not sure about 2013 exhaust mods since I have a 2012 RS that came with cat in muffler. I replaced stock muffler with a spyderattitude muffler & added JTs air filter (site sponsor) & built cold air intake. Performance seemed to improve with top end speed & fuel mileage increased...

    Clarification on RS Rotax 998cc

    Does someone know how different RS years have different hp and torque rating? Are there modifications to Rotax 998cc, gearing, or methods of measurement? Marketing reasons? Or is it because the GS/RS 2008-2012 106 hp (79 KW) is measured @ 8500 RPM & torque 77 lb.-ft. (104 Nm) is measured @...

    There are adjustment screws on each side of the headlights. I'd send you the specifics but I can't copy my manual. Here is a website that you can get the entire shop manual, helpful resource. http://www.repairitmanuals.com/canam%20street%20motorcycles.htm

    Factory Two-Tone Paint?

    Interesting point Bob. I never thought of using mix & match of body panels vs paint or those other types of covering options.

    3rd x is a charm on cold air intake system

    Thanx Bob. Will do, put 350 miles yesterday on it, ran great and appeared a little improved over 2 earlier mods. I lucked out, my new mod of pre filter caps with foam was put to the test @ the end of my ride last nite. I hit a huge down pour and ran right through the water & rain with no...

    After 3 modifications to develop cold air intake, finally finished effective system. Another set of new pictures, lol. I used feedback from this site & trial & error. Inexpensive parts from local motorider shop (cool place), Ace hardware, & Lowes. I made pre-filters intake caps with plastic...

    Question about ram air filter

    Thanx Chupaca. I saw the turbo fans online & like your idea. I image the fans help keep moisture & debris out. Yes, I agree about feed @ the filter. Today I'm working on a piece that widens the distribution of air to the JT air filter. I'm also going to develop a removable cap for outside...

    Question about ram air filter

    Just ran a 1/4 @ 13.95 @ 95.91 mph. Best so far but much to do with my beginner skill set running a spyder. Ran 14s before changes so not a whole lot yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Question about ram air filter

    Chupaca, where'd you get the set up? How does it run into air filter? Is there a filter before air breather filter? Coz, No fuel management, ie, juice box or power commander. Put everything on, let it idle for 5 minutes & take key away & start back up in 5 minutes. I have a single spyder...

    Question about ram air filter

    Excellent point, I'll look into dirt level and possibly add someting that distribute the air all around the filter

    Question about ram air filter

    Yes, I agree. I believe the top end record is much higher, there is a top end speed time and average overall speed. 137 mph was not that hard to hit on the superslab.

    Question about ram air filter

    I have installed air tubes running from outside of spyder on both sides directly to JT air filter on 2012 RS SE5. See pictures. I'm adding black screws and a little trim on cones to blend into spyder. I also have custom exhaust and BajaRon's high performance plugs & wires. I let the spyder idle...
