• 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.

    Spyder Riders in Prescott, AZ

    Pretty much local. We ride a lot to Flagstaff then also Cottonwood, Cornville, etc. I want to start extending our distance a bit. Frankly, it's just been too darned hot to do much of any riding the past few months, which is why we tend to go up to Flag and we ride pretty early. We haven't...

    Spyder Riders in Prescott, AZ

    My wife and I both ride, but we are in Sedona. Close, but no cigar ;) You ever come up this way?

    VSS Indicator lamp on - is it OK to Ride?

    After how much I paid them already for the "work" that they did, I have no intention of paying them more. I just need them to make everything right again and convince them to take back the backrest. They have done previous work for me and I've been OK with it. But, the lack of care with this...

    VSS Indicator lamp on - is it OK to Ride?

    EUREKA!!! The switch was the problem! I raised the seat and, clear as day, there was the plug just dangling in front of it's receptacle. I plugged it back in and the light is off! Now I just need them to remove that damn backrest and put my seat back in the right place. Thanks so much!!

    VSS Indicator lamp on - is it OK to Ride?

    Thanks to both of you for your ideas. I will check the battery and that plug. The plug idea sounds promising since one of the things they were doing was installing an aftermarket backrest (frankly, a piece of junk IMHO, but my bad for not getting the OEM or the Utopia - I will probably have...

    VSS Indicator lamp on - is it OK to Ride?

    I just got my 2017 RTS back from the dealership where they performed the front sprocket recall, did an oil change and a fuel injection service ($$$). My first ride today since getting it back and I noticed that the VSS indicator lamp is steady on. This was not an issue before they serviced it...

    Your opinion on iMotorsports?

    Brian, Greetings from sunny Sedona where we have 10% sales tax!:yikes: I can't answer all your questions but can give you a few thoughts. I bought my 2017 RT-S from iMotorsports and did have some issues, although after 5 years I have tried to get past it. The sales guy was not the most...

    Make sure you buy your Extended Warranty BEFORE the OEM Warranty expires!

    I second everything said about Thomas Palmer at iMotorsports. I had it in my calendar to call about extending the warranty on my 2021 Sea to Sky in a few weeks. Thanks to this thread I decided not to wait and potentially miss out. I left a voicemail for Thomas on Friday and he got back to me...

    Ride comparison between previous and current generation RTs

    Thanks for the input Pete. All I can say is OUCH!!! That outlay sounds more painful that being cramped on the S2S :shocked: For now, I'll just let my wife continue to ride it while I stay on the '17. I paid cash for the S2S so I need time to refill the bank accounts ;) Warren

    Ride comparison between previous and current generation RTs

    We have both a 2017 RTS and a new to us 21 Sea to Sky. My wife rides the newer Spyder (of course) but when she lets me, I find a big difference in the handling. The 21 is much more "stable" feeling at speed and in corners. It is almost what I imagine a sway bar would add to an earlier model...

    Did I do a bad thing? Put my money down on a S2S!

    I second the congratulations. We just picked up a 21 S2S for my wife and I am riding our 17 RTS (notice how SHE gets the newer Spyder!). If you've never ridden a Spyder before, I would really recommend you find a place that offers the 3-wheel riders course. I've taken the 2-wheel Basic Riders...

    Found a 2021 RT LTD Chrome in NJ with 700 miles 30K Firm at the dealer

    I agree that there are some better deals here on the forum. I just bought the 2021 Sea to Sky with 1900 miles for 26K that was listed here. If it's still available, there is another 2021 Sea to Sky listed with more miles but lots of extras (including Baja Ron Sway Bars, a Garmin GPS, etc) for...

    Spyders on The Simpsons

    One bit of evidence that something has "made it" into popular culture is a mention/gentle mocking on TV's The Simpsons. Well, Spyderlovers...we have made it! On this past Sunday's (5/15) episode a billionaire is bragging to the Simpson family about all the companies he owns. He talks about...

    Is the Canadian Trucker convoy affecting Can Am deliveries?

    Waiting on Comfort Seat since Oct. I'd be interested in knowing what part you have been waiting on since October. I ordered a Comfort Seat for my '17RTS in late Sept and STILL nothing. Whenever I check with the dealer through whom I ordered it, they contact BRP and are given a new "Delivery...

    Suggestions on which Stick on Convex Mirrors to get?

    I use these from TricLED. They are designed specifically for the RT and fit perfectly over the OEM mirrors. They may be a lot more than the stick on 2" round mirrors but I really think they are quality and work well...
