• 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.

    Traded my 2013 RTS SM 5 for a Harley today

    I had my Spyder laser aligned at Winston Salem Can Am/ Honda at my 600 mile checkup. The tech said he was trained by Lamont. Said my Spyder was right on and did not need any adjustment. I did not have a Sway bar put on because I thought my issue was wind buffeting. I read all of the posts on...

    Traded my 2013 RTS SM 5 for a Harley today

    I could not get used to the wind buffeting and traded today for a 2011 HD Ultra Limited. Rode the Spyder 3 hours to the dealer. Was blown all over the road. Rode the Harley home in the heat of the day with the wind up. No buffeting. Like it was on a rail. Took a loss on the Syder but had huge...

    Wind blast

    wind I have a 2013 RTS SM 5. I have over 2000 miles on it. Have ridden for over 40 years on all kinds of bikes. I cannot get used to the wind. Seriously thinking of selling the Spyder and getting another HD. Two wheelers are not affected by wind. Rode all the way thru Georgia on my HD once on...

    Weaving and dancing 2013 RTS SM 5

    Wind buffeting I have 2000 miles on my Spyder now and it still wanders. I am going to get a Baja Ron Sway bar in a few weeks. If this does not help I am going to sell the Spyder and get another HD. Was riding 2 weeks ago in 30 MPH gusts and almost lost control. Wind buffing is horrendous and...

    RT in crosswind

    Wind buffeting I feel the same way. I have a 2013 RTS SM 5 I got in January. I have 2000 miles on it. I thought it would get better. Have read all the posts on this. Have not got Baja Ron Sway bar yet but will get one in a few weeks. If that does not help I am going to sell my Spyder and get a...

    "Ballpark" out the door price on a 2013 RS E5?

    OTD price In late January I got out the door price on a 2013 RTS SM 5 from Winston Salem Can Am in NC for a little less than 20000. This included shipping, handling, paperwork and taxes plus registration. I paid cash but most dealers like you to finance as they get a kickback rom the back...

    OEM Trailer Hitch with 4 Pin Square Plug to after market trailer with 4 pin flat plug

    wiring When my dealer put my hitch on I asked the tech to put a flat 4 plug on the Spyder. He used the BRP plug and play wiring module which comes with the hitch. Works great. Just had to cut the square one off and splice the flat 4 on with extra wire as the square 4 ends right under the...

    buffeting by wind

    buffeting Thanks Ron. This makes sense. I have tried relaxing as much as possible. Do you have any plans to come to the Spyder event in Myrtle Beach, SC I believe in April? If so how much would one of your stablizer bars cost installed? Jim

    WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH YOUR 2013 RT

    problems My biggest problem has been getting used to the wind buffeting. Winston Salem, NC Can Am had a red and a blue 2013 RTS SM 5 last week still for sale. I bought mine from them in January for 19750. I paid my taxes and registration in SC. I was getting mine serviced and while I was there...

    Weaving and dancing 2013 RTS SM 5

    Weaving Had the alignment done on Saturday. The tech said it was right on. He did not have to adjust "toe". My problem I believe is that I am not used to the wind buffeting on the Spyder. Am investigating other mods to help with this. Seems I need a sway bar.

    buffeting by wind

    buffeting I am married and committed to the Spyder. I will give it a while. I paid cash from my insurance check from a motorcycle crash 4 years ago. Just got the money in January. Of course we did not get enough for all the bills as the 17 year old who was text messaging when she hit my son...

    buffeting by wind

    buffeting I just do not understand why Spyders are so affected by wind. I am no engineer by my Chevy Z 71 is taller, wider, has a bigger front engine, etc. I know it weighs more but the Spyder and a Harley are in the same league weight wise! Maybe I need to get me another Harley. I wanted a...
