• 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.

    Curious if others have had battery issues with newer OEM Batteries?

    The problem is at least as old as 2022. My RTL had the Chinese brand battery that I nursed along for about 1 1/2 years. I think the name is Haijiu or something like that. Really, really bad batteries. I am now running a NOCO lithium ion battery. Shame on BRP for making this decision and...

    Links don't work for me. But how is comparing BRP to Ferrari relevant?

    What do you think of the 'New for 2025 - Spyder Canyon'?

    You guys really need to quote the post you are referring to. Awfully confusing to try to figure out what you are talking about. I backtracked through the thread and figured out you were talking about Barefoot Beth but most would not do that.

    VSS triggers at start if I forget to shift to neutral before shutting down - normal?

    In my opinion you see the VSS fault when you are not in neutral because the Spyder has to shift to neutral before it starts. The small amount of energy it uses to shift into neutral is enough, on top of the VERY weak Chinese battery in your Spyder, to trigger VSS. I would see it on my '22 at...

    Anyone know if Slingmods Kicker speakers are worth installing? Any other options?

    These speakers will sound a very little bit better. They will sound very much better with an updated amplifier. Same as any audio system.

    2011 Rear Wheel Static Balance - do it with hub & sprocket fitted, or without?

    No I was just making a point that if there is something bolted to the wheel then it should remain there to get a proper balance. At least that is what most motorcycle shops require. Sorry for the confusion.

    F3 LTD owners - how do you run wires fm dash top compartment to h/bars?

    Since you stated that it could be the charging cable, I said it could also be an overheating phone. I was not referring to 'your' phone.

    2011 Rear Wheel Static Balance - do it with hub & sprocket fitted, or without?

    Most motorcycle shops want everything to stay in place. Most won't balance a front wheel if the brake discs have been removed. Same for the rear.

    F3 LTD owners - how do you run wires fm dash top compartment to h/bars?

    Or your phone is overheating whereupon it will reduce the charging rate and therefore not keeping up.

    Remove the Squeaking Noise from your Spyder's Drive Belt - Top Tips

    This topic comes up all the time on the Spyder Lovers forum. This is an easy fix for sure. My 2022 RTL does have a tensioner. It is not a Sea to Sky. Thanks for the tip Martin.

    I fixed all of my clocks this morning and then I started my Spyder... :(

    Your phone has nothing to do with the Spyder clock. Connected or not.

    Tuscany in Italy - How is it to ride a Can-Am there???

    Another great video Martin. Those roads are certainly more narrow than what we have here in the US. Ride safe my friend!
