• 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.

    SPYDERPOPS SPY184 Lighting Kit Brake Lights no longer bright/flashing - need a new harness or plugs? Anyone else - any solutions?

    I have a 2017 Spyder RT, which we love. Several years ago I installed this SPY184 kit and everything was working. Now everything is still working except the brake lights do not go bright and flash. Do I need to buy a new harness, or can one of the connectors/plugs be replaced? Has anyone else...

    Which Krikit Tension Tool should I buy for 2017 RT SE6?

    After doing quite a bit of research, I find that there are several types of the Krikit belt tension tools. I have a 2017 Spyder RT SE6, and I can't seem to find out which Krikit tool to buy. I also just had the Front Sprocket Recall done, after waiting 2 1/2 months for the sprocket to come in...

    Need to Repair Broken Screw Hole Piece on Upper Tupperware Panel

    The broken screw hole tab is located at the upper right corner, where the Magic Mirror is attached. Our bike is a 2017 Spyder RT SE6. I hope the 2 attached pictures help to clarify where the broken screw hole tab is located. Thanks again: StevenQ

    Need to Repair Broken Screw Hole Piece on Upper Tupperware Panel

    For our 2017 RT SE6 Spyder, I broke off part of a screw hole from the long upper tupperware panel. I am looking for advice to repair the tupperware panel, from anyone that has experienced breaking a piece of tupperware. I see quite a few epoxy choices to choose from, but not sure which one...

    Has anyone given their Spyder a "Name"???

    TOPDOGJIM, are you still in the area with your can am spyder? We live just north of you in East Windsor, CT. If you are still in this area, perhaps we could get together. Go for a ride even when the weather improves (April?). Steve Bethke, StevenQ

    2017 RT Fault Code PO562

    Recently we went on our first ride for this spring. Just before getting home, some idiot lights came on. Found that the bike had a fault code of PO562, system voltage low. The battery checks out with engine off, and with the engine running. All the connections seem to be tight and clean. One of...

    2017 RT Installing Rear Shock Question

    On my 2017 RT SE6, (No Compressor), because I didn't know any better, I don't know if that air damper ever worked. Not long after I purchased the bike new, the rear would bottom out fairly easy. I never gave that schrader valve a thought, to check the air pressure, etc. All I know is that as of...

    FOR A 2017 SPYDER RT SE6, COLD WEATHER STARTING BELOW 40 DEGREES F

    Yesterday I took the leads off the battery, cleaned the terminals & the lead connectors. They all looked good, but I cleaned them anyway. I was able to get the bike started, but it was almost 40 degrees. Reconnected my battery tender junior before leaving the bike (in garage). This morning...

    FOR A 2017 SPYDER RT SE6, COLD WEATHER STARTING BELOW 40 DEGREES F

    Thank you Easy Rider. The only accessory that is plugged in is the Garmin for that bike. I could try disconnecting the Garmin, to see what happens. It seems to crank over well enough, but cuts out. I am not sure of how long it cranks, but probably not more than 10 seconds. Also, I am sure...

    FOR A 2017 SPYDER RT SE6, COLD WEATHER STARTING BELOW 40 DEGREES F

    Y'all have been great with your responses. All of this started last year, when it started getting colder. It was brand new when I received it the beginning of last November 2017. Told the dealer about it, and they suggested going to their "winter oil"- 0W40 full synthetic. This didn't help...

    Good afternoon: Thanks for the reply. Back in 1963-1965, I was stationed at McConnell AFB, Wichita, KS. I am curious as to what you treat your fuel with. Have a good day. StevenQ Retired military

    FOR A 2017 SPYDER RT SE6, COLD WEATHER STARTING BELOW 40 DEGREES F

    Thanks for all the replies. U guys are absolutely right, 30 degrees isn't all that cold. When I had my Kawasaki Vulcan 900, I rode down to 11-12 degrees, with my heated outfit. But the Spyder, which I bought new last October 2017, has consistently given me fits when it starts to get cold...

    FOR A 2017 SPYDER RT SE6, COLD WEATHER STARTING BELOW 40 DEGREES F

    I am looking for any suggestions on getting my chariot started when the temps go below 35-40 degrees up here in CT. I have heated gear & try to ride year round, conditions permitting. I use a battery tender junior at all times when parked in my garage (not heated). Sometimes in the upper...
