• 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.

    2012 RT SM5 (A&C) - Where is my horn located?

    If you take the beak off the bike, which is not as big a deal as you may think, you'll find it stuffed up inside of it! It's the easiest way to get your hands on it!

    My first thousand miles on the Spyder

    Did you upgrade the sway bar? And what are you running for tires? And a good set of shocks will make a big difference! These are all of the things a LOT of us have found out through the years! Yes, they get pushed around a little in the wind, you have to remember it's not a cafe racer you're on...

    Any idea why my Rear Shock Bolt bends in the middle?

    Are you able to adjust the damping remotely from the outside of that shock? I still think the damping in that shock is not set right for you! Just my 2 cents! Springs help carry the load and gives you ride height the damping and pressure in the shock gives you the squash and restriction from...

    2010 RT turns over, but won't start - Any thoughts before I trailer it to the dealer?

    What snowbelt said, plus give it a little isopropyl, check to hear fuel pump!!! Good luck!! You know the worst thing you can do to your bike is start it a short time and shut it off, that's not good for the battery and everything else. Charge it up, throw a blanket over it, and let it rest!

    My first thousand miles on the Spyder

    Another thing you may want to try is, if you are a tall bodied person and you find yourself slumping forward on the bars, you may want to look into a bar riser to get the bars higher and maybe closer to your shoulders, it will make a big difference with better posture!

    Looking for new Comms - what do you use?

    x2 I did that to my sled Senas, very happy with the outcome!

    Our 6x12 enclosed trailer set up for our Can Am Spyder S2S

    You have done a great job on that trailer setup!!! There's no doubt in my mind that you could flip it upside down and the bike would still be hooked down to the deck!!! Good job! 🙃 I can tell you that you are going to LOVE the riding in that area, and you're going to know your bike a lot better...

    Any idea why my Rear Shock Bolt bends in the middle?

    I would check to see what the torque spec is on that bolt! Myself if those two spacers only press to the sides of the shock bushing, I would call that a very crappy set up! It puts a lot of strain on that bolt. It should be setup like the factory shock was setup with a shaft all the way through...

    Are there any Can Am Clubs or Riders/owners have a Spyder in The Villages, Florida?

    Yes guys, but Florida's got some great swamps, gators, snakes and nice coastlines, if you can get close to them!

    RTL - brake pad replacement intervals. Just replaced my pads at 21,000 miles. Is this a fair mileage?

    There are a lot of variables to this question and what I get for miles on a set of pads is not necessarily what you will get! I would say that for stock pads, you're not doing too bad. I would use EBC myself, but that's me! Stopping when you need to is a good thing!!! :cool:

    Any idea why my Rear Shock Bolt bends in the middle?

    Are you physically bottoming the shock out? Does he have any kind of damping adjustment on that shock? Is it a rebuildable shock and how many miles do you think you have on it and how old is it? That part you called out 150 is that all the way through the shock head with that bolt going through...

    How do you control Rabbits (without shooting)?

    Or just fire up the Barby and invite the neighbors!!! 🙃

    Any Modification recommendations from those who tour on their Spyders?

    Not at all, have one on my 2025, works great!

    Need some tips on replacing a Bad Brake piston gasket - any ideas?

    It would be well worth the money to get BajaRon's tool for the next pad change! ;) (y)

    Newbie to Spyders - I've just bought a 2012 RS Roadster! Have I done the right thing?!

    It's kind of too bad that someone doesn't make floorboards for that model! Not totally sure if it would help with the brake pedal position tho! :unsure:

    Any Modification recommendations from those who tour on their Spyders?

    All of your add-on's that you have listed are great items and the one's you want to get would be definitely on my list if I was you, but I am floored on the service charge for the shocks! I have done that job on a 2012, and about to do it on my 2025 and I don't know it's not that big of a deal...

    First Ride of the 2026 Season

    You lucky bum, I am getting ready to put the sleds away this week and get the bike out myself, can't wait!! :cool: Good luck with that knee, I have had two knee joints myself and I feel your pain, get it stretched out and get back on that bike!!!!

    Newbie to Spyders - I've just bought a 2012 RS Roadster! Have I done the right thing?!

    After seeing your pictures, the risers will help a lot, you're slumped over like you're going to a race! No wonder you're feeling like are! Possibly an RT would have been a better choice for you.
