• 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.

    Anyone have a Cardo Scala Q1 or Q3 ?

    Does anyone have a Scala Rider Q1 or Q3 (working or not) lying around they no longer use? I need one for some internal parts for a project I am working on so the condition is not important. All I need is the main head unit pictured. Please contact me. Thanks

    Low Speed / RPM Miss?

    Friends 2008 RS SE5 has a low speed / rpm miss (up to 3500 rpm) then it clears up and runs fine. We are thinking coil pack, spark plug or wires. Any other thoughts? Are the spark plugs and coil packs hard to get to? Thanks.

    Instrument Panel Gauges ~wavy~

    The black background on my Instrument Panel Gauges is kind of wavy. Take a look at the speedo between 90 and 130 you can see it, both the speedo and the tach are having the same issue. Is there a way to flatten these out? Is the material coming loose? I bought this Spyder from a friend and...

    Adjusted Drive Belt now Brake Chatter

    Today I adjusted the right rear wheel to move the drive belt away 2mm from the inner flange per the service manual. Adjustment spec is 1mm - 5mm (seems like a wide range) so I decided on 2mm, slightly closer to the right hand flange (the belt had been riding against the flange). All is well...

    Installed Kuryakyn 4393 Premium Mini Boards

    On my 2008 RS SM5 I just installed the Kuryakyn 4393 Mini Boards with the 8808 adapters on the rider foot pegs. Trying to get away from those OEM foot pegs. I haven't ridden more than a few blocks but they definitely helped with brake pedal reach. The shifter side still needs a little...

    Just checked the oil level on my new to me 2008 RS and I believe it is over filled. Dip stick reads F without screwing it in at all and I noticed some foam / bubbles on the dip stick. The previous owner (a trusted friend and maintenance nut) had just changed oil using Castrol Power RS Racing...

    Foot Brake Pedal Height Adjustment?

    I am wondering if there is an adjustment on the 'at rest' position of the foot brake pedal (right side, not parking brake)? The 2008 GS Sport riding position has my knees bent and my feet are too far behind me to allow me to raise just my toe to step on the brake pedal. The result is I have to...

    Manual Parking Brake Adjustment Question

    i have a 2008 RS SM5 with the manual foot operated parking brake. When I make the adjustment via the shop manual instructions the foot pedal goes all the way to the bottom before it holds the Spyder and locks the parking brake. Is this normal? I would think the parking brake should hold on...

    Do you think this is a scam?

    Saw this on eBay. Looks too good to be true. Location simply says "U.S." which makes me leary. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Can-Am-12-can-m-spyder-r-t-sport-touring-/131435791678?forcerrptr=true&hash=item1e9a2f053e&item=131435791678&pt=US_motorcycles
