Hi Gang. This concerns a 2018/19 Spyder RT limited. I purchased mine used from a dealer and inquired about the hole in the seat where a backrest would be installed. Lo and behold, as if by magic,...

Dealer (B&B Cycles) very helpful. I finally tackled it myself. First things first, drained gas tank & refilled with 2qts non-ethanol fuel & filled tank with fresh gas. Didn't work. Replaced surge...

OK, I'm fairly confident in being able to do the complete canisterectomy and I know I can replace purge valve myself ($49 + shipping), but I am going to take to dealer anyway just in case. As that...

Thanks! There is a great vid on youtube!

Thanks again!

Any videos on doing just that?
never mind, just looked and nope.

:pray: After reading here ( a lot) and elsewhere (some) I have come to the conclusion that my 2012 RT has a bad purge valve. Stalling on take off; surging idle; loss of power occasionally; etc, etc....

Is there anyone who can provide or get a list of potential sponsors for these gatherings? Plus, is there any way an individual person can help or recommend? From what I read, it is only clubs or...

It looks like the same one I got from Harbor Freight. It doesn't quite fit underneath but I just drove up on a couple of 2x6's . . . . problem solved!

Welcome to the world of Spyders! First things first...... go to the "Spyder General Discussion" tab under "Forum" and read the "Do's and Do Not's . . . " It's a great place to start. It is where I...

Lamont . . . . . you have a personal life?:roflblack::roflblack::yes: (Sorry, couldn't resist)

I too have the drop tail and yes, my spydie would hang up at times. (Usually when going real slow) I found that when the rear wheel is barely on the "drop portion", jack the drop portion up by...

2012 Can Am Spyder RTS

I dug a little deeper and as a result, filed a formal complaint. Mine is a 2012 Rt that has the gasoline fumes problem on occasion but probably not as bad as the 2013's. That being said, gasoline...

How about the softer compound on the RS & ST and harder on the RT. . . . or would that make sense.

I use an old trick to wash my Spydee . . . . . . . Woolite. Nothing harsh in it and then Lucas Mist it.

I rode 2 wheels waaayyyy back when and I have had not too much problem getting used to my ryde. Not all the way there yet but getting there after three months and about 1K miles. The weird part . ....

I'm very glad you are OK. The "Force" was with you, ;)

It's all about perception. Through these posts and other sources, I perceive that BRP Spyders have heat/gas fume related problems.
Even though the actual number of incidents may be small, I still...

Title says most of it. Prefer somewhere less than 50 miles from Cajon Pass area. Will go farther for right dealer. Looking mainly for repairs and maintenance. Thanks.

Thanks for the alignment you two!! Mine was toed out on the right side by more than an inch and not too much on the left. As a noob, I really couldn't tell much difference while I was there, BUT,...
