• 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.

    How many miles before fill up

    I finally got to see the red low-fuel warning light this weekend. The gas gauge was at the bottom of the red zone. I stopped about a mile after the light came on and pumped in 4.6 gallons. It looks like slightly under 5 gallons is the magic fill-up point when running on empty.

    Brakes go click!

    No click, but mine produces a whirring noise when the brakes are applied. Again, the mechanic said it was normal due to the rotor. Interestingly, the other bikes that I have owned (Goldwing, Harleys, BMWs) appeared to have a similar rotor design but did not generate any noise.

    Low Fuel Light on 2011 Limited

    Today, at 147 miles, there was no warning light but the gas gauge was near the bottom of the red. To my surprise, I pumped in only 4.6 gallons. Most of those miles were on the Blue Ridge Parkway and not at typical highway speed or rpm.

    Optional Production Windshield

    I would like a taller and, if possible, wider windshield for my RT-S. I'm 6'4" and prefer to look through the windshield. The Can-Am accessories catalog lists an optional production windshield that is 27"h x 25"w. P/N 705003777 It states that this windshield is stock on the MY10. What's an...

    Too Little, Too Late SENA's tech support insisted that the issues I was experiencing were normal. Only after the intervention of their sales director did I receive an offer to return the units for repair or replacement. I have, however, elected to return the units to the vendor for a refund...

    Just Installed SENA SMH10 Bluetooth Headseat & Intercom

    I decided to try the SENA SMH10 Bluetooth headset & intercom system for our helmets and also ordered the helmet clamp kit accessory which provided a wired microphone to use instead of the boom mic. My wife and I each have full-face helmets. The installation was straightforward and, thanks to...

    Curiosity question.......

    Virginia does not differentiate between 2 or 3 wheels. Should you pass your motorcycle test on 3 wheels, you are also qualified to ride 2 wheels, regardless of whether you can remain vertical or not. That may change in the future, but for now, the M endorsement on the Virginia driver's license...

    Who has the best price for spyder insurance?

    I'm with ANPAC (American National Property & Casualty) and was surprised to learn that they classify the Spyder RT-S as a sport motorcycle, not a trike. The result is a $547 annual premium. (100/300 with a $500 deductible on comp & collision) Maybe I can get the classification changed. In...

    Flags on Can-Am's Dealer Locator Map

    There is a nice Find A Dealer feature on Can-Am's web page. However, I haven't found any explanation for the red and blue flags pinpointing the various dealerships. Any guess as to why some flags are red and others blue?
