Whilst is a similar looking handlebar switch block, it has totally different functions on F3-S, which does not have radio or iPod interface.
As I said (!), it's not in the Owner's Manual (aka Operator's Guide).
I have a 2018 F3-S which has an RECC like the attached photo.
The OEM Operator's Guide informs about the totally different RECC on the F3-T, but no mention of the one on the F3-S.
Whilst I've sort...
WOW!
There storage and then there's STORAGE!
They do not deliver Saddlebags to Australia :)
Just taking delivery of a 2018 dealer demo F3-S and in need of some luggage. Been looking at Shad SH36 panniers and Leatherworks bags.
Any Australian distributors or reasonably priced alternatives?...
Tyranny of distance - my closest Can Am dealers are 2,00km in Darwin or 2,300km in Perth!

I've just confirmed that my Spyder is indicating Fault Code 1282.
Both Brake Fluid reservoirs are full, and the floats are moving freely.
However, the procedure given in this thread to reset the...
I guess this is it, but does that three wire connector just pull out - it looks like it's molded in?

I have the same or similar problem. Brake Fluid levels were fine, but I put a bit extra in just in case. Still cannot reset the "Brake Failure' alarm on dashboard. Thought I'd give this "fix" a try,...
I've done that, with both now over the Max mark on the reservoirs. However, the Brake Failure Alarm reset procedure doesn't have any effect.
Brake Failure (2008 RS SM5):
Brake Failure warning on today - Manual says low fluid or brake sensor failure. Well, it's not the former, for fluid's the first thing I checked...
Frustratingly, I can see and touch that pinch bolt from the side of my Spyder, and I can even get a (13mm) socket on it. However, I can't get the socket arm/driver onto the socket to rotate/tighten...
I can but assume we are talking about what looks like a pinch bolt in parts 42/43 in this diagram, yes?

That sounds more like what it could be :( It's certainly nothing to do with the power steering or alignment (which is spot on). Only trouble now is actually getting to it :( For starters I cannot...
My 2008 RS SM5 with 17,000km on the clock developed this free play at the handlebar ends about 1,500km ago. There is no play in the tie-rod ends or looseness in the ball joints. It doesn't seem to be...
Responding to old message, but .......
I ordered a 710001102 to replace my lost scabbard/sheath (BRP call it a FOURREAU). Unfortunately, it does not fit the key to my 2008 RS SM5 :( Maybe earlier...
I know people respond to queries such as this with the best of intentions. BUT, I do so wish people would stick to the Forum that represents their own model. People advising tyre pressures for an RS...
I followed the advice given, removed the rear wheel myself and took to bike dealer to fit the Toyo Prexes 4 rear tyre.
Just re-installed and ready for business :)
See photos at:...
I'm having a new rear tyre fitted (Toyo Proxes 4) on my RS next week by a local (non Can Am) bike dealer - I live in the sticks and the nearest Spyder dealer is 2,200km away!
The actual tyre...
I've just ordered a Toyo Proxes 4 tyre/tire for the rear in the standard size (i.e. 225/50R15).
Being fitted next week, so I'll just have to wait and see whether this lasts longer than the 8,000km...
Nope, the rains strips an wear strips down to the same level :(
I live in the north west of Australia where it is hot all year around: 30C (86F) in winter to 38C+ (100F) in summer.
The OEM rear tire on on my RS (i.e. 225/50R15) is down to the wear strips in...
Please excuse my ignorance, but what is a "dual fill"? I cannot find it on your vendor site :( Maybe looking in the wrong spot.
Thanks,
I just fitted Spyderpops SPY101 Missing Air Dam and SPY104 Air Management Kit to my 2008 RS SM5 and thought you might like to know my results.
In 30C ambient tempterature:
cruising at 90kph...
Take a look at a map of the State of Western Australia: I live in Broome and my nearest dealer is in Perth 2,200km away, with very little in between!
Just today I've loaded my Spyder on a truck from...
Mine's an RS which I imagine would be smidgen lighter than ST & RT models. I've only had mine a month, but in over 1,200 miles I've had between 36mpg and 32mpg on each tankful.

Sadness = "official" :-(
I don't know why there is even a discussion about this - I'm purely reporting what the official brochure indicates - I'm not making that up!

I'm quoting the 2008 RS Sadness Brochure, I've not converted anything!

.... and my 2008 RS says 7.13 US Gal, with no mention of "reserve"?
