• 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.

    Recurring dead battery

    Hey Billubovine,, The Can Am dealer did charge and load tested both new batteries. At the time everything checked out ok. Get it home and within a few days, it's dead again. I have made a list of things to check from these postings and see if they can get to the root of the problem. Thanks,

    Recurring dead battery

    Hi Blitz The CanAm service department replaced it with a Yuasa battery which I'm told is factory recommended. I feel the original battery was probably ok and the new ones installed ok also. There must be a power drain coming from somewhere even though they have put it thru every test.

    Recurring dead battery

    My 2011 RT's original battery went dead at 20K miles. The bike had been making "popping" noises prior to the dead battery. Took it to the shop and they replaced the battery with a new one from China. Did some other maintenance at the same time. After 2 weeks, the new battery was dead. All...

    Ultimate Seat

    I have the Ultimate seat on my Yamaha V-Star and it is great!! Super comfortable ride all day. I plan on ordering one for my Spyder RTS. Love the gas door option, too bad BRP didn't think of that. I was considering a Corbin seat also, but I hear they are very firm and not as comfortable as...

    What are "throttle bodies"???

    Hello GoodVibe's I think this machine is so technically advanced, It should tell us when the throttle body is out of whack !! At least I hope so. I do relax gripping the handlebars and just go with the flow. I love the bike and have 500 miles on it in just 1 week. Thanks for your input...

    What are "throttle bodies"???

    Thanks Chris. I think with these machines, there will always be something to learn. Not just your average motorcycle. I love it.!!

    What are "throttle bodies"???

    OK, I'm a newbie, but I keep hearing about throttle bodies which need to be fixed. Can anyone explain to me what this means. My bike wavers gently side to side much like riding a walking horse, but I assume this must be due to wind resistance. But sometimes it feels like the resistance is...

    little things

    I have just purchased the RT-S and have found it to be perfect for me. I am 5' 2", so the foot pegs and handlebars are comfortable for me. I think a tall guy would find the footpegs too high. Having just come from a Yamaha V-Star 1100 with floorboards, I miss those somewhat. But in general...

    our San Francisco trip

    Hello Spyderrock I recently did a very similiar route from western Washington to San Jose, Calif. Going down Hwy 101 to Leggett then to Fort Bragg, Ca with 25 miles of constant twisties. It was the greatest. There were four of us on 2-wheels so it was just a matter of leaning through the...
