Sport mode is over rated. Put it in sport mode a couple times, yeah it lets you get more sideways and doesn't retard the throttle.
***I really don't have too much of an issue getting sideways in default mode either.
To answer your other question. Yeah, they can be reprogrammed, but even if they allowed that to happen, you'd need to buy a new cluster.
Dealers can't make the change. It is factory only. How do I know? My 2017 was a 2016 "yard" model (Inventory) that BRP re-vinned to 2017 as a special dealer pre-build. I bought it last July.

Yeh, I'm not too worried about not having the sport mode. It's in sport mode every time I'm in the saddle.
HAND'S UP: The only sure way of getting rid of bad habits is to create good ones.
AND, by the way, this will not happen on auto pilot. It's time for a YOU-turn!!!
I recently purchased a 2016 Can Am Spyder F3S. It was love at first sight. But now the 2017 F3 has Sport Mode.
I really hope that there will be a way that I can upgrade my F3 with Sport mode. It should just be a computer update where it disables the traction control. I have tried calling Can Am and BRP but all I get is customer service who can't give an answer.
My F3T will spin the rear tire for over 60 feet and it doesn't come with "Spot Mode" either!

At the price of tires, I try to stay out of the accelerator, which leaves more money for farkles and trips.
But it's nice to know I can spin tires on pavement if I choose.
