• 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.

    Control Modules

    Warranty The Warranty for Emission Parts, which includes the Engine Control Module, is for 30000 kilometers or Five (5) years, whichever occurs first. This was part of the original warranty given when I purchased the bike new. I did not get an extended warranty. Thanks for your input.

    Control Modules

    What is the difference between a Vehicle Control Module and an Engine Control Module? My warranty on a 2011 RT is still good for the ecm but the shop is telling me the problem rests with the vcm ($2000 plus labor). Ouch.

    2011 warranty information for Spyder RT

    My ECM is shot and the local can-am dealer is quoting me a price to replace it of over $2000. Someone told me the ECM is covered for 5 years or 30000 km. He gave me a site to go to and I was able to print a copy of the 2010 BRP Limited Warranty and was able to verify this information. His...

    ECM Problems

    Is it possible to repair an ECM on a 2011 Spyder RT? Or perhaps get a rebuilt one. I understand a new ECM cost about $2000 and that doesn't include the labor to install it.

    Rear Shock Replacement

    Brought my Can Am RT into the local dealership for a 9000 mile service. Was informed that my rear shocks are in need of replacement. They quoted me around $90+ for parts and three hours labor at $110 per hour. I live in the San Diego area. Is this a reasonable estimate for the work to be...
