• 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.

    I have a problem with Dishonest Dealers!

    No I am not wrong about the lights not being rewired properly or the seat strut being marked as fixed when it was not touched. I don't know how to find evidence one way or the other about whether an oil change was performed other than ask them point blank.

    I have a problem with Dishonest Dealers!

    Well, Problems resolved. I was very nice to the lady service advisor. After 3 hours of waiting, then the service manager comes out and explains the situation to me. He also told me he is new and was brought in to clean up their service issues. They installed the new shock and the seat now...

    What Life/Mileage can I expect from a 2016 RT engine?

    My two cents. Most engines today outlast the rest of the vehicle. The engines are very well built and if maintained properly, other parts of the bike will start to break down or become costly to keep up with but the engine will keep on going.

    I have a problem with Dishonest Dealers!

    This is really really horrible news for someone that dropped over $30K on a bike. How in the world does Can Am let this happen? They should have factory folks out training their dealer techs. This is the kind of news that makes me want to sell my Spyder and get a converted Endeavor Trike GW...

    I have a problem with Dishonest Dealers!

    Does anyone know of any private mechanics or shops within 50 - 75 miles of Memphis, TN?

    2020+ SEAT Strut issues - a different solution!

    OK, I bought that exact spring and installed it. No bueno. The spring pushes the strut back off of the seat. It wedges between the seat arm and the strut and causes separation as I open the seat. I guess I have to go back to the dealer and have them replace the strut

    Please, I need advice re Putting a Spyder on ramps?

    I bought cheap ramps from Harbor Freight. Made getting under the Spyder a breeze. I just lined up the ramps against the lip of the concrete slab that is in my garage. Then I could easily drive up.

    I have a problem with Dishonest Dealers!

    I have an appointment on Saturday and will be addressing these issues with the Service Manager. I don't even have confidence the oil change was done.

    I have a problem with Dishonest Dealers!

    OK venting here. I took my Spyder in for an oil change, replace the seat shock, check out the squeak in my brakes, and to rewire a light from the battery to the the accessory switch. After 5 weeks, they got MOST of the work done. Never got to the brakes - fine. They say they did the oil...

    2020+ SEAT Strut issues - a different solution!

    I looked up that part number and it has multiple dimensions. Is this the 4" x 7/8" version of the spring?

    Do I really need a GPS?

    Then there is the issue of Privacy. I have seen that Waze and others use your location data and routes to study you and market to you, and even sell to to others. You are giving them this info for free. I believe with a receiving only GPS unit, this information is not provided to anyone...

    Anyone else want a Higher Touring Gear?

    I would love a 7th gear. At 70, I am about 3800 RPMS on my 2021 RTL. Ideally, I would love to cruise at 70 MPH at 3200 RPM. It would lower the engine noise and vibration just a bit and likely yield higher mgp since the engine would not be working as hard. At least that is my understanding...

    Installed RLS Cat Delete and Power Vision 3 Tune

    I'm that guy who bought it. I do love it. Quickdraw is correct that it can get loud on higher RPMs but that is what I wanted.

    Extra fuel idea - what do you think?

    This is AWESOME! So simple and inexpensive too. But now does it not move from side to side away from the bike? I see how the cords keep it from hopping off, but when you hit a bump or sharp turn, what keeps it from edging slowing away from the bike and falling off the edge?
