• 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.

    Anyone received their 2022 Spyder or news on Delivery, Delays, & Omissions?

    I put down a deposit for a 2022 RT Limited in March. The salesman called me in late May to say that my Spyder was on the way, he had a VIN. It finally arrived in mid June but had missing components. The missing parts came in mid July and I finally picked it up last week.

    2022 RT w Floorboard lights needs a/mkt hwy pegs/boards - do they fit?

    Hi all: I just picked up my new 2022 RT Limited and the first ride demonstrated that I do need some sort of highway peg / board arrangement. However my Spyder has the CanAm floorboard lights. I checked with Lamonster and their boards all attach to the stock floorboards and do not work with the...

    How many 2022 Spyders Coming?? Shout if you've ordered/got one!

    Ordered a 2022 RT Limited, Deep Marsala Red and Chrome, in March. It came in late May but it is missing components. First I was told that the Instrument cluster was not there but when I got frustrated last week called again I was told this time that the missing components are the windshield...

    What's up with the New 2022 RTL trailer hitch and module - no part #?

    I am still waiting for a 2022 RT Limited that I orderded back in March. The Spyder came in with several components missing and no ETA on the missing parts. I was also told that there is a recall of some sort on trailer hitches and towing on the 2022 and I ordered one and it is not available either.

    After info on New Spyder phone, CB, & GPS Interfacing?

    I have a Onyx cradle mounted on my dash. I transfer the radio to my Spyder whenever I am riding it. I ran an audio cable back to the rear trunk and plug it into the Aux input for the sound system.

    After info on New Spyder phone, CB, & GPS Interfacing?

    Yes I know that CB almost qualifies as antique technology but I still ride with my old Goldwing buddies who all use CB. If it ain't broke don't fix it!

    After info on New Spyder phone, CB, & GPS Interfacing?

    Hi All, I am looking to the community for a few answers. I currently have a 2012 RT Limited which I have had for over 36000 miles and was fairly happy with. My current Spyder is outfitted with, among other things, a CB, Sirius XM satellite music and a Garmin GPS. I am seriously considering...

    2012 RT Limited ACS compressor failed again. Third one!

    I purchased this Spyder in 2016 with 10,000 miles on the clock. It now has 45,000 miles. In this time I have had to replace the compressor twice, the most recent was in summer of 2019. Midway through this past season I found that it had failed again. I got through the remainder of the 2021...

    998cc Evap Purge valve Code P0443

    Follw up to the follow up! I rode the Spyder around 400 miles this past weekend and everything seems to be back to normal. No error codes or no check engine light. In addition the bike is now idiling smoothly except for a very brief, occasional, hiccup whereby the idle drops and then goes back...

    998cc Evap Purge valve Code P0443

    As a follow up I did purchase a new Purge Valve (solenoid). As part of a test I initially only connected the electrical connection to the valve and then ran the motor. The check eninge light went off and the error code cleared. I have come to the conclusion that the old valve was stuck open as...

    998cc Evap Purge valve Code P0443

    Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! This last post answered all of my questions. I now know that my purge valve is most likely stuck open as the engine has been running a little rough and has stalled several times when idleing. I just orderded a purge valve and will install it when it arrives...

    998cc Evap Purge valve Code P0443

    Does anyone have an idea as to why my Spyder, in this condition, would have improved gas mileage. I rode my Spyder this weekend, with the purge valve not working properly, and it appeared to get better mpg than normal. A typical weekend ride for me is around 125 miles per day. Doing this I...

    998cc Evap Purge valve Code P0443

    I am still trying to find out if I need to replace the Purge valve or not. I did see your post, and pictures, on bypassing the canister and plan to do that but I am still getting the error code P0443. At this point, since I have checked the fuse and it's good I am wondering if the computer knows...
