• 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.

    Where is the fuel filter located on a 2015 RT-L?

    If you go to the BRP parts diagrams for your Spyder you will see the fuel filter assembly, filter and two properly sized Oetiker clamps, is less expensive than the individual parts. Then again you must have Oetiker clamp pliers to properly afix the clamps (available from Amazon), but the pliers...

    Indian is getting into the trike business.

    Historically it's a rather disappointing story as I remember my father who was born in Springfield, MA telling me as a youngster about them being manufactured in his hometown. The local corner store where I lived as a kid in New London, CT after WWII had an employee who rode an Indian. It's...

    What is the Brake pad thickness for OEM Brakes?

    Were I in your boots, if the pads are wearing evenly you're dealing with water over the dam. The OEM pads and rotors are acceptable but are little league quality when compared to EBC fully sintered pads and rotors - a combo that will stop you like the hand of God.

    Could disconnecting the positive terminal of the battery for a few days cause any problems?

    If you have a Can-Am Spyder of some type look in the operator's guide table of contents for Battery and go to that page and you will find this warning: NOTICE Always disconnect the NEGATIVE (-) cable first to avoid damaging the electrical system of the vehicle.

    Oil Leak on 2023 RTL caused by oil filter cap O-ring...

    FWIW, when I do my oil changes I have a document at hand that I put together from the parts manual and a picture of the canister and its three O-rings along with the wrench sizes and torque specs for everything that must be removed and reinstalled, crank case and clutch cover plugs included. One...

    What portable air compressor/jump starter do you use when touring?

    I carry a Harley, yes Harley, compact air compressor with light. The compressor uses the fused SAE pigtail to my battery tender: https://www.harley-davidson.com/us/en/shop/compact-air-compressor-with-light/p/12700020. I also carry a Stop & Go tire plugging kit...

    2024 will not start after long ride then parked for 1 hr - Anyone else? What fix?

    If the dealership has, "no idea/solution" ask it to open a case with BRP.

    Yes it’s the age old tire question… What's currently the best replacement?

    We too walk in your shoes. Pancreatic cancer took our daughter last April who, like your son, fought valiantly to the end. Parents aren't supposed to outlive their children.

    Yes it’s the age old tire question… What's currently the best replacement?

    The Quatracs are the best front tire I've used on my Spyder. They replaced Federal EVOs. Haven't used them in the rain, but on wet roads, they are very trustworthy.

    How did I mess this up?!!! Removed the frunk to do some work, ran the Spyder with it off, & now have all sorts of warnings & Limp Home Mode!! Help?!

    If you started the Spyder with the frunk removed you ran the engine with all the wiring harness connections unplugged, and tht's what caused the codes. when you get it all reassembled they should disappear. Been there, done that.

    How Many Ride an RT Limited After The 5 years Of BRP Warranty Has Expired?

    2013-14 RTLs have polished trim, whether it's actually chrome like a '49 Caddy doesn't matter; I probably should have used the words highly polished vice the word chrome. The trim on my RT-S is more of a satin finish. I haven't paid any attention to MYs later than mine because I have no...
