And while we are on the subject of Can Am's

[werewolf]

We were at Pratt the other day and a pickup went by
pulling a Can Am backwards.
Apparently they had jury rigged a hookup from the hitch
on the Can Am to the hitch on the pickup.
Is this a good idea with a Can Am?
(ie towing it backwards)

As long as they're going slow and for a short tow. High speeds might damage the windshield, And I would think that without someone holding the handlebars those two front wheels will act like the tail wagging the dog.. When I had a spyder I had to tow it many times' [very unreliable toy] And I always used a trailer...

I would never tow it backwards! I also wouldn't own anything before a 2014 with the 1330 ACE engine. What an awesome ride!

The front wheels are just on hubs..
they would have to lock the steering straight too before doing something like that..I would never try it ..

Very few problems a suitable amount of high explosives wont cure?

I think this the first I have heard of unreliability issues on the can-am?

Guess I just haven't paid attention?

If it's mechanical, it will break huh?

Must be some of the older models with issues..The new 1330 is the bomb.. No problems so far for me and others are saying they love the bike..

I have taken my hands off the handlebars and runs true and straight..

You're on Spyderlovers, Search.. Front Sprocket failed, Main shaft failed , DPS, Brakes, Antifreeze leak, Limp mode. ETC, ETC, Buy the way over the years I had at least 18 bikes plus Two Trikes, Never had a problem with most of them except one Reverse Trike .
