Welcome. ..
To the spyder world and congrats on the new ryde... You will find if you read the Do' and Don't on this site you will get aquainted much faster to your spyder. Generally takes 300-500 miles to get really comfortable but you have a good start....

Welcome! I'm new also (6/1) and enjoying it very much! I have 30+ years on single track vehicles so there was a slight learning curve, mostly about relaxing the death grip that comes from riding a new type vehicle.
My F3 is great fun and I'm lovin' it!

There comes a time in life when you really want to stay in the wind, but single-track vehicles are no longer a practical or safe solution. The Can AM Spyder is a wonderful answer to a difficult situation.

Welcome! Your Spyder feels twitchy because it doesn't like being on the wrong side of the road.

I managed to take off the hand brake unit this afternoon and replac the right hand side floorboard with the other foot peg. It was a tight squeeze to get the hand brake unit off as the floorboard was in position 2 and the large centre nut that holds the unit was fouling the side of the engine but its all done now, so left had peg is in position 5 and right hand peg is in position 4 with the brake unit back on. Had a local shop increase the foot brake rod by 85 mm to allow for the different position and the bike feels much more comfortable now. can't wait for tomorrow now to try it out ( please don't rain )

You can purchase the exact length rod needed to move from position 3 to position 4, and/or up to position 5. Conversely, you can also buy shorter rods to move down to either position 1 or 2. BRP sells them. Not very expensive. Occasionally available on the 'For Sale' thread. Enjoy your ryde and keeping adjusting until you find maximum comfort. Cheers.
