There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

My experience is that there are some scum dealers who will tell you that the valve caps on your old tires won't fit on your new tires, so ya gotta just buy new ones. By the way, your GPS unit won't even work on the new Spyder, so just buy a new one. Don't fall for that crap.
The hitch will work on the 2018. Make sure you move the wiring harness, too.

Sorry you need to read the fine print again. I quote from the hitch description. "Only system on the market that maintains vehicle warranty requirements." That does not say if you use an aftermarket hitch your warranty is void. Do not change the words and meaning.

Not in the US. In order to reject a warranty claim BRP would have to PROVE that the after market hitch caused the failure. I don't think there is any scenario where they would succeed in doing that.

I believe the actual hitch is the same, but the wiring is different so they have different part numbers. Wiring is the big concern for a Spyder hitch

There was some comment a few weeks ago about the U channel being tight on the later RTs, but as I recall the hitch still fit, just rather tight.
But you're right. As the kit components, i.e., the harness, changed the kit part # changed.

BRP RT Hitch
Just last week I had the hitch and wiring harness taken off our 2014 RTL and installed on our 2017 RTL. Work was done by a Can Am dealer. Every thing works fine.

show crome wire harness does not work on 2018 f3 limited.
i got my harness from bigbikeparts.com. the only problem i had it did not work very long. the trailer lights went crazy. i sent it back they put it on 2017 f3 limited and stated it worked fine. but not 2018. i bought harness from canadamotodepot.com got it and it would not plug in to the main plug under driver seat. so i called them and they are going to dealer on 10-22-18 to see what bpr changed on the 2018 f3. so that means i have a $95 harness plus s/h cost that does not work on my bike. will see what they find out

The trailer harness that goes between the main tail connector, made for a 2017 and earlier models. Does not fit the 2018 or later models. Not even BRP ones. That connector has gone from a 10 pin to a 16 pin. That's why BRP is now selling that piece of the trailer harness as a separate item.
