I like that idea. In fact, I do something similar on my Goldwing. I don't know why I didn't think to do this on wife's Canam.

I have been searching the forum for info on helping the right side heat problem on my wife's 2011 RTS. I am reading many posts about replacing the can am gasket with a honda gasket (Y gasket?). I...

We lost the left side. It is the lower cover just in front of the drivers shin.

On a short ride this afternoon, the engine cover on my wife's 2011 RT blew off on the freeway. By the time we managed to get stopped and walk back, it had been ran over and destroyed. Now for my...

I first tried jumping the Spyder with my truck. All the display came up normally. I could release the park brake. After about 40 minutes of being jumped, it still wouldn't start. When starter button...

Bob,
I just reviewed your video for the second time. I replaced the battery in wife's 2011 RT after watching your vid. I looked up again just now and re-found your vid. Refreshed my memory. I...

I did try a big charger with a "Jump" setting that is supposed to be able to start a car. Same results. Even our local dealer said to try jumping from another vehicle. I'll try that tomorrow. Thanks...

My wifes 2011 RT has sat for a few months. When I tried to start it, battery was dead. I put a trickle charge on for a couple of days. Battery shows full charges. When I turn key to on, the display...

Hello Bob,
Thanks for the video. I have spent the last few hours trying to get the battery out of my wifes 2011 RT. I couldn't find her manual, so I wasn't handicapped by that. I got as far as...

Thanks,
I'm leaving work now to try and help her.

Wife is trying to leave on trip with her 2011 RT. She rode it yesterday. Now it won't start. Gear indicator says first gear but spyder will roll freely. I think I read about this before but cannot...

I have looked at the sponsor pages. I'm more interested in what other's have used and are happy with than just what is available. Thanks for your response.

My wife would like to add fender accent and turn signal LED lighting to the front fenders of her 2011 RTL. I would love to hear from others on what they have done, or recommend. Pictures appreciated....

Took my wifes 2011 RTL back to dealer today for repair of turn signal. It took all of 10 minutes to determine that the connector had come loose. I suggested that it must have came loose when they...

I finally heard back from BRP customer service today. They want me to take my wife's Spyder back to dealer and have them make a determination of exactly what the problem is and then have them call...

I tried to call customer service, but unfortunately they are on eastern time and closed by the time I get home from work in California. I did fill out the on-line form so hopefully they will respond....

I just got off phone with our dealer. He said that the turn signal lamp is indeed a "module" and not covered under warranty. Previous poster was correct, price $113 plus $60 to install. Seems like an...

OK, I can't find my owners manual at this time. Wifes 2011 RT has a bad left front turn signal lamp. Can anyone tell me what lamp # to get, and how to get to it. I don't see any screws at first...

I listened to most of the advice here and checked my break fluid. It didn't seem at all low, but I added just a touch anyway. Problem cured.
Thanks again to all who responded.

Thanks for the quick responses. While waiting to hear from someone, I actually did a search and found that this is a fairly common problem. I will try all the things suggested. Right now, taking it...

I have been driving my wife's 2011 RT to work and back now for a few weeks. It's only a 30 mile round trip and Spyder has only a little over 6K miles.Yesterday morning on the way to work, slowing for...

Thanks for all the advice and incouragement. At 63, I'm not ready to roll over. So far I have survived prostate and Bladder cancers, had both knees repaired, recently diagnosed as diabetic, but still...

My wife has had 2 Spyders, a 2008 and now a 2011 RT. I have ridden both and did not care for the 2008 sport type. The RT on the other hand is enjoyable for me to ride. Still not my goldwing, but I...

Besides the fact that both lights went out at the same time, my big issue was first getting the lamps out to test or replace, and that done, re-install the lamps. the Spyder belongs to my daughter....

I didn't know weather to start a new post or continue so here I go. Same 2008 GS. Trying to replace head lamps. I got the right side out after much cursing and loss of skin on my hands. Now I'm...

I don't get to visit this forum often so I may have missed much. My wife has a 2011 RTS and in hot weather, it nearly blisters her ankle and shin. I have read of a couple of different aftermarket...

Hey smokinspyder,
I have a meter at home somewhere, just couldn't locate it last night. I am taking my work meter (an old Fluke 87) home tonight and see what I can find. I rang out the one bulb I...

One other question. Is there a schematic or wiring diagram available on the site somewhere?

Joe in Modesto

Ok, here is the situation. 2008 GS. Both headlights quit at same time. I first checked the fuse. OK. Next I checked the headlight relay and swapped with other relay. OK. I finally managed to get one...

Hey Shane,
How do you like the LEDs so far. Are they significantly brighter?
Thanks for the offer but I need to get a new lamp today so my wife will go for a ride with me. She won't ride if any...
