• 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.

    This BRP website shows what you can do and will be able to do on the 10.25" screen. It is not specific to any model, just the screen. It says that "on road navigation" will be available in the spring of 2026 and that it will (should) work with android and IOS...

    Anyone found a Wireless Car Play/Android Auto Adapter that works with 2024 and up Spyders?

    Won't this all be moot when Can Am releases the next software up grade that is supposed to include Android Auto and will be totally wireless?

    Learning to ride this bike: my progress so far

    My first time riding a Spyder was in November of 2021, the day I picked it up from the dealer. My state requires a 3 wheel endorsement which I did not have and the dealer would not let me test drive it before I purchased it. Fortunately the dealers parking lot is large. I spent about 30 minutes...

    What could cause this Squeal on starting out in first gear?

    I have 2025 F3-T and it is making the same noise. I just had it in for it's 3k service and the tech told me that the noise is coming from the shaft that turns the alternator. He ordered the shaft and a bolt or screw that a TSB said needs to be replaced. I'm having the work done next week. The...

    Apple CarPlay update - what is the secret to getting it working properly??

    I had a similar problem with Android Auto in my car. You have to give the phone enough time to build the route. I found that with Android Auto, if I did not do that, then the screen would freeze up. Sometimes after a few feet, and sometimes after a mile or more. When I let the phone build the...

    Battery/Starting slow spin - is this common & why doesn't it start like a normal motorcycle?

    Sarah, my 2025 F3-T came with a Chinese battery. It was not the Haijiu, but I had the dealer install a Yuasa before I took delivery.

    BRP Connect - d/load the app, plug in, then listen to your phone? Do you like it?

    I don't use my phone when I'm riding, but I do like to listen to music.. I don't like using helmet speakers. For me it was just too distracting. This is what I did to get music to play through the bike speakers. I tried several different options to get my 2021 F3 T to play music from my iPod...

    Anyone else getting this "Update Server Unreachable" message for Software Update Ver 4.1?

    @XEXMNR, do you have any firewalls setup in your WiFi router? If you do, you might want to try disabling them and then try the update.

    Where is the throttle harness connector for a 2025 F-3 Ltd Pedal Box install - can anyone help?

    The throttle wiring on the 24/25 F3's and RT's does more that just control the throttle. It has taken the place of the Mode switch and the Reverse switch that previous years had. Make sure that both of those functions are working before you button everything up.

    Where is the throttle harness connector for a 2025 F-3 Ltd Pedal Box install - can anyone help?

    I don't know if this will help you. It's a video that the tech made of installing the heated grips on my 2025 F3-T. When he picks up the two wiring harnesses on the right hand side, I believe that one of those is for the throttle. It looks like it is buried deep inside the bowels of the bike.

    Struggling to find anyone in Indiana to Service a 2009 Spyder V-Twin - any thoughts?

    The biggest issue with working on older bikes is sourcing parts, like an Engine Control Module. Simple things like oil changes, tire replacement, changing spark plugs, etc are not a problem. If the tech, after several hours trying find the problem, discovers that the part that failed is no...

    What just happened? Two weeks old: Engine shut down, VSS Error.

    Graderman, I had the same battery in my 2021 F3-T. I went through 2 of them. The original failed and the dealer replaced it under warranty. When the second one failed, I put in a Yuasa battery and have had no issues after that. Before I took delivery on my 2025, I had them check the battery. I...

    Apple CarPlay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    The Can Am radio is really picky. You have to have what it considers to be the correct cable. I have a friend who has found that a GoPro cable works best for him. You also need to make sure that the USB female port is clean. He uses this before he plugs in the cable. The tight or ultra tight...
