• 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.

    2014 RT - with paddle shift that shuts down engine! Any ideas?

    Bike only in 'storage' since it developed the problem. First noted issue when bike was not started for a few MONTHS (winter weather). Maybe an oil additive would help? Oil, water levels are all full. Fresh oil in late Fall - maybe 300 miles on fresh oil change? I've warmed engine up until...

    2014 RT - with paddle shift that shuts down engine! Any ideas?

    Engine starts w/o any issues. Placing paddle shift into either gear shuts the engine down. Any idea what the problem is? Have not ridden in a couple of years - bike is in 'storage' now. Thanks don

    Time to hang it up

    Now that sounds like the FIX!!! I can plan a visit with my brother (Spring, TX) and his 2015 RT (he has never had an issue with his Spyder)

    Time to hang it up

    Thanks for all the good info and support. That antenna is a new one for me --- and maybe the local mechanic as well?? I printed the PFD file. Many thanks for taking the time to do that for me (and maybe others as well). Talked to one dealer today and they are not taking any more service work...

    Time to hang it up

    Sorry for my typo -- DESS error it is -- full Orange screen and all. I think module replace 3 times - the last time was the "Latest and Greatest"..... On turning 'off' any of the error codes, mechanic said they would turn it back on - if they saw it - for liability reasons. I has also been...

    Time to hang it up

    I've owned 3 Can Am Spyders - 2008, 2010 RT-S and the current 2014 RT. Since owning the 2014, I have had about 18 CESS (Key error) faults and all but a few have left me stranded. And about 8 Check Engine Lights. I just came home from going with my car and trailer to tow my Spyder home. Today...

    Continuing DESS Issue?

    Don't remember now... But was told here on the Forum it was the latest model. Have not heard of any other module since then. Sorry - no help. don

    Continuing DESS Issue?

    Had my 2014 RT in the dealers shop 6 weeks last Summer. They said they could not duplicate the problem (DESS Error). Module has the "latest and greatest" installed. I've had 6 more DESS errors since I got the bike back. I just wait about 15 minutes - go back and it starts up. So not a big...

    Trying to find a seat for our 13 rt limited

    First - welcome to the Forum. I'd suggest spending less money right now and try an Air Hawk seat first. Sure works for a lot of other Spyder Ryders. If you decide it is not for you -- no harm, no foul..... no large investment lost. Just my $.02 worth. https://airhawk.net/

    Anyone mounted a Rearview Camera on RT Ltd? What type?

    I'd like one myself.. When parked, place transmission in reverse and have a camera/monitor come on to spot someone/something that is out of your line of site. Stuff happens real fast - kids, shopping carts - cars backing out, etc. Directly behind me a Dead Zone for proper visibility. Heck...

    A BAD ACCIDENT

    Sad to read about this.... "Police said the two motorcyclists were standing still in traffic when a driver turned a corner and hit them." https://www.ksat.com/traffic/multiple-vehicle-crash-slows-down-traffic-in-stone-oak-area

    Spyder Fest 2018

    Spyders in the Hills Rally Sorry to read of all the conflicts of interest between the two primary Spyderfest folks. I do not mean to stir the pot here, but just would like to offer another option. We have a Fall Rally here in Texas that may be of interest. "Spyders in the Hills". Here you...
