• 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.

    What is this part?

    Thanks, everyone!! The Can-Am dealer said he ordered one for me, but since he's not a Spyder dealer anymore, he has to go through a Spyder buddy. But if it originally didn't have one, maybe I should just leave it, or get the ones I've seen on YouTube that have the cool Spyder logo on them.

    What is this part?

    This part fell off while I was riding, and I noticed later, when I got to my destination. What do you call this part? I'd like to see if my dealer has one or if I have to order it. Also, is it safe to ride without it? I would think so. It's a 2012 RT Limited. Pics attached from both sides of...

    Fuel economy not as bad as I was led to believe

    That's awesome!! I usually ride around 4500-5000. At 5000 I'm shifting. Maybe I should let it go a little higher if it's better for the engine.

    Starting Issue

    Ongoing -- I was going to ride today. Just for fun, I checked the voltage and it was 11.4 volts. I knew it wouldn't start, but I tried anyway. As I expected, it wouldn't start. I don't have any extra accessories installed, and I usually ride for an hour or more, unless running errands. I do run...

    I'll check that. I usually get 11.9 volts when standing. When it wouldn't start. it was at 11.7 volts.

    Starting Issue

    The battery is brand new - just had it installed a couple of weeks ago.

    Starting Issue

    The charging system was checked, which is why they replaced a cable. I'm assuming it was a cable from the battery to the alternator (or whatever the Spyder uses.) I've never checked the battery directly, but the posts under the seat to which I connect the charging cables are tight, plus it...

    Starting Issue

    I went out to start my 2012 RT-L one day, and nothing. I would get lights flashing, speedometer and tach needles shooting back and forth, and weird noises. I put the battery charger on for a while, it started up, and I went to the dealer. The dealer replaced the battery, it started, but then...

    2020 RT series are cool, but who's keeping their old Spyder

    I have a 2012 RT-L also. Can't justify the price of a new one.

    I know its me but......

    When I bought my Yamaha Majesty 400 maxiscooter back in 2010, I was worried about going too slow. The friend I bought it from said, "Ride what's comfortable to you, and don't worry about others. Let people go by if they want to go by." I've always remembered that. Now I have a Spyder RT Limited...

    Spyder events Dumb question - what's the best site to find out about Spyder events? It would be cool to go to one sometime. Just to let you know, in 2010, I bought a 2007 Yamaha Majesty 400 maxiscooter. That was my first bike. I took the riding class, but I didn't want to clutch, shift...

    New Spyder Owner

    I just purchased a 2012 RT Limited, and am looking forward to riding it for a bit before the cold Iowa/South Dakota winter sets in. I did have a problem with the Check Engine light coming on and the motor dying at intersections when I was stopped or almost to a stop. I took it back to the...
