• 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.

    Totally bonkers 'Miles to empty' on Can Am 2023 RTL - can it be fixed?

    Oh well, I took my Spyder to the dealer today, he scanned manuals and BRP blogs and found nothing... He said he would open an issue with BRP and notify me with any response. I left the dealer and started my RTL and the miles to empty went from 12? to 19? WOW. Perhaps the problem was magically...

    Totally bonkers 'Miles to empty' on Can Am 2023 RTL - can it be fixed?

    Why did the problem not appear for 5000 miles? If something broke, they should be able to 'fix' the problem...

    Totally bonkers 'Miles to empty' on Can Am 2023 RTL - can it be fixed?

    My Spyder has dementia! Recently, after a fill up, the 'Miles To Empty' value bears no relation to reality. One recent fill up gave a range of less than 100 miles (and I take care to add more fuel, almost to the point of overflow). Today, I did a fill up (93 octane, no ethanol) when I got...

    Is Plexus, the plastic cleaner/protector, available anywhere besides the manufacturer?

    I guess the title says it all - I did go to the manufacturer's site, but that would require the purchase of a case of the (expensive) product.

    I tried to install the BRP drivers backrest...

    I used this BACK REST KIT I did not have to even remove the front seat. Sounds like you might have used a different kit.

    I tried to install the BRP drivers backrest...

    The instructions were very simple. Emplace the locking wire into the holder, slide the panel nut onto the holder, put the 'black slider' into the holder, and then use the bolt to attach the slider to the panel nut... Unfortunately, the hole in the slider and the panel nut were nowhere close to...

    I bit the bullet and upgraded my 2023 Spyder RTL front suspension... Color me happy!

    . I bit the bullet and upgraded my 2023 Spyder RTL front suspension to the BajaRon sway bar and BajaRon front shocks. I am still fiddling with the rebound control on the bottom of the shocks (currently set to 25 'clicks'). So far, I am pleased with the performance of the upgrade. Nearby, there...

    BajaRon Ultra swaybar and BajaRon front shocks coming in this afternoon - any suggestions for initial settings?

    BajaRon Ultra swaybar and BajaRon front shocks coming in this afternoon for my 2023 Spyder RTL. I am going to have my local Can Am dealer do the install. I am un-mechanical... Any suggestions for initial settings for a 200 pound person would be appreciated. Thanks

    Weird Spyder Behavior this afternoon - sudden power loss & 'bucking'! Any ideas?

    I have been getting VSS errors on startup occasionally. I took the spyder to Batteries Plus, they ran a test, and the attachment is the result. They said the battery looked good... There are no fault codes shown in the electronic control center. Any comments?

    Weird Spyder Behavior this afternoon - sudden power loss & 'bucking'! Any ideas?

    This afternoon, I was out for a ride when suddenly the engine on my 2023 Spyder RT/L (with 2k miles) started to lose power and started to 'buck'. I was in the midst of traffic and was worried about getting run over. After about 45 seconds the problem seemed to go away. However, about 12 or so...

    Review: GPS Tracks, a nifty program

    I have been using the IOS Program on my iPhone. It can act as a GPS tracker ie. it shows your current position on a map and shows your path as a blue line on the map. It also captures your speed and altitude; at the end of your ride you can save your ride data as a 'track'. Tracks can be shared...

    Review: Spyder Extras Flip Up Seat Support Bracket

    My dealer did a warranty replacement on my two-month-old spyder's seat strut several days ago. They had to order the part from Can Am. The replacement felt about three to four times more stable than the original strut (it even holds up my seat covered with my 'butt buffer'). As a backup, I had...
