Default Chuck from ky

Whats up fellas my name is chuck, I recently purchased a can am spyder phantom, and thus far its a blast. I want to learn the maint and upkeep aspects on the machine. Learn what I can do to make it faster, meaner, and look great. I am a retired 3 iraqi war vet, and enjoy getting on my bike and taking rides to clear my head.

Welcom Chuck, thanks for all you have done for our freedom. They's trikes are a blast I can't seem to ride mine enough. You can get a shop manual for your pc on e-bay for about $15.00 that have a lot of good info on them, I have the midwest manuals its searchable so its easy to use. Best of luck and miles of smiles

Welcome to the Y Factor Family, Chuck!! We changed the oil for the first time on mine, and it took longer than I anticipated, but we got it done! The instructions for that are in the book that should come with your Spyder. Ride safe!

Welcome to Trypod life! Those Phantoms are pretty mean-looking right out of the box! A shop manual will end up being worth more than its weight in PLATINUM!
