• 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.

    Me, My Spyder and a GoPro...

    I used a suction cup mount on the dash. I tried the windscreen, but it was nearly unusable due to the vibration. Actually, I used only a suction cup mount for the entire video. The spyder has a lot of places to mount it.

    Me, My Spyder and a GoPro...

    It is the Hero 3 black. It offers amazing quality for such a small & inexpensive camera. Also, I edited this video with their free software: GoPro Studio 2.0 - it works well for simple videos like this. I've had the camera for over a year, but just started playing with it a few weeks ago. this...

    New issue with Spyder ST... Belt guard issues.

    Maybe I've been out of the loop, but now there is a known issue with the belt guard vibrating loose? This is the first I am hearing of this. I only had my Spyder back from the 'melted master cylinder' repair for two weeks and on my first time out I heard a horrible noise as soon as I started to...

    How many 2013 ST(S) owners have heat issues?

    My 2013 STS two weeks ago: During a 50 mile ride the brakes failed. My master cylinder melted to the point that brake fluid was pouring all over my driveway. My Spyder was billowing so much smoke I thought it was on fire (possibly was). Luckily I was pulling into my driveway when it started to...

    ALL 2013 Spyders recalled

    I think this happened to me today... Coming home from a 60 mile ride, I was almost to my house and started to smell something. I pulled into my driveway and realized there was smoke coming out from under the handlebars. I shut the spyder off and looked underneath and there was fluid dripping...

    What's up with the speedometer?

    I'm not sure why Can-am would design a speedometer that goes to 200mph, but I think it is rediculous. The needle barely moves, good thing there is a digital display. I don't know what the top speed of a Spyder is, but I doubt very many have hit 100mph. Any idea what the point of a 200mph...

    Are the 2012 and 2013 rs ergonomically the same?

    For some reason I thought I read that the 2013 rs has a more comfortable seating position. Am I wrong? I rode an STS today and it was very comfortable. They also had an RS there, but I forgot to ask if it was a 2013, it was not nearly as comfortable to me.

    Is A Extended Warranty A Worthwhile Buy?

    It is funny that most people are recommending the extended warranty, but not one has actually mentioned if it saved them money, but it definitely cost them money - sounds like about an extra $1000. Of course it is a good idea, but that really shouldn't be the question. 'Is it a worthwhile...

    Sooo tempted

    That makes sense, but what's killing me is the wait. I won't be able to try them both until Feb or March if I'm lucky. I live in western pa, so our dealers will probably get them later due to the weather. I was just thinking that it being the end of the year, I would think I could get a pretty...

    Sooo tempted

    I think I am stuck on all the hype about the 'new suspension geometry' and the brembos. Also, the new RS-S has a multicolored LCD, I don't really care about that unless it includes more info than the monochrome LCD. Any idea about how big of deal the new suspension is?

    Sooo tempted

    I had planned on buying my first Spyder early next year when the '13s are available, however I am very tempted to pick up a 2012 and save a few $$. Someone talk me out of it!!! I have been on this forum everyday and watching the same YouTube video over and over... I think I am a little Spyder...
