Spyder Software Updates

[DSSpyder]

How do I:
-identify the software running on my 2014 RTS?
-find the latest version of software?
-update my roadster software?

You could try calling your dealer and giving them your VIN and they can check for updates

Check with a dealer as I don’t think there is any kind of software up for the earlier than 2018 bike’s.

Oh not true! There was an "update" applied to my 2015 at the first service and it messed up how the byke behaves and has really pissed me off that I wasn't informed and given the option to decline it.... Now the byke is so sensitive to how far the bars are turned that it applies the nanny in nearly every corner if I'm going over 35mph!!!

I believe there are updates to the ECU/bike system, but when we talk about “software” updates we’re talking about the new dash software on the 2018’s.

Um, the OP states he has a 2014. Didn't think they had a dash that gets software updates separately....

The OP does not specify what software (firmware) he is referring to. Every smart module on the Spyder, there are several, have their own firmware. Occasionally BRP will update the firmware to correct a problem. If it is for safety reasons you will get recall notice letter. If it is a warranty campaign you may get a letter for that if deemed important enough. Most likely they expect you to bring it to the dealer from time to time and get it updated then. The reality is that the module firmware rarely ever changes. I don't recall my 13 STL ever having an update in the 5 yrs I owned it.

The firmware level for each of the modules can only be checked when plugged into a laptop and read by BUDS. The only exception to that is the dash firmware on the 2018 models with premium display.
