• 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.

    Error Codes P0222 & P2135 + Plug pics - corrosion?

    Thank you Ron. Sorry, I had forgotten to reply. It is at the dealership now and I had printed the picture to show them the corrosion. Took it in due to another year on the extended warranty. If anything, they will give it a full go over and find anything else that needs attention. I have...

    Error Codes P0222 & P2135 + Plug pics - corrosion?

    Good day to you all, I had a Pedal Commander hooked up to my 2020 Spyder RT base. Everything has been fine for a couple of years. I don't ride much because my kids have so much going on I simply don't have time. Only about 7000 miles on the bike. Last week got a code of P0222. I had...

    Looking for advice on which 2020 Spyder RT Base Rear Trunk to buy?

    I had ordered the Shad box. Delivery was taking so long I cancelled and bought the Can Am box. 1600.00 bucks but I love it. This was year and a half ago, but that is what I did. Steve

    Anyone else a loner and not a group rider?

    I am not interested in large group rides, but I would love to find a Spyder rider or two in Southern Illinois that would like to go on rides. However, right now I can’t because I don’t have the time. Young kids, and always something going on. Back in the day when I was younger (in the 80s) we...

    Texting while riding - rant!

    I don’t do group rides, and I only go to the gun range when it’s just me and no one else. In my mind I’m safer that way. Steve

    Extended Warranty Purchasing Advice Needed

    It was on the warranty receipt with information from BRP. Thomas is very efficient and nice. If anyone out there is on the fence, I recommend getting the warranty. These things are too complicated not to have things go bad. Cheers, Steve

    Extended Warranty Purchasing Advice Needed

    I have been told by the Dealer that my warranty on my 2020RT is up on December 8. Makes no sense to me because I will have owned it (bought new) 2 years in February. Anywho, I have been trying to get in touch with Mr. Palmer yesterday and today (voicemail every time). Is there anyone else...

    Still riding weather in northern Illinois

    Down here in Southern Illinois Carbondale area has been beautiful this week. A little chilly riding into work, but perfect in the afternoon riding home. I started putting staybil in on my last tank just in case it all the sudden gets too cold to ride.

    Using thumb shifter - my solution to a reach issue.

    This is how I shifted from the beginning. I just naturally did it that way and still do. sn

    2022 RTL upper-rear storage -vs- 2013 RT storage

    I bought a 2020 RT base because it was cheaper. I realized that I wanted the top case and got lucky, it was on sale for $1600. That is a lot of money but, it has the speakers in it and the lights on it. Plus it holds a lot. I love it and feel like that $1600 was well worth it.

    Seat Strut won't hold up seat - any non-OEM replacements?

    The dealer wrote a ticket up for my replacement and will get it to BRP when the cyber mess is over. Let them take care of you. Steve

    Who makes the Lock Barrels - I need a lock for my new topcase....

    That barrel should’ve come with your Spyder. I bought a 2020 RT base and it came with the barrel and when I bought the top case I just popped it in. They give you the barrel in case you ever buy the top case as an accessory. Best of luck. Steve
