• 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 Palooza 9/11 Fallen Hero Tribute Event Dates listed.

    Definition of farkle. The word is generally accepted to mean a combination of "function" and "sparkle", hence, farkle. Motorcycle enthusiasts may install accessories, called farkles (also spelled farkel), to customize their machine. One source attributes the term to Pete Wells, the organizer...

    Hooking up heated gloves to Fuze Block

    Heated glove fuse. If the glove manufacturer supplied the wiring and 15 AMP. fuse there may be a reason. Perhaps there is an "inrush" current when the gloves are first turned on. I don't know this for a fact as I know nothing about heated gloves. Inrush current is a current surge or spike that...

    2015 RT.......

    15 RT I have a 2012 RT Limited and am more or less happy with it. I would buy a 2015 RT over an RS or ST as I prefer a touring type. So I don't care if the RS or ST has a removable trunk, but I can see where that would appeal to RS and ST ryders. Like you I would like to have the 1330 with the...

    Rant Vent

    Optima battery. I have seen Goldwing GL1500 with an Optima battery. I don't think Optima calls it a motorcycle battery, but it works. At least in Goldwing GL1500s. I am not sure but I think it is an Optima PC800. I have no idea if this battery would fit or work in a Spyder.

    Loss of Power

    Shift RPM. I don't know enough to say that this is causing your problem, but I think you are shifting at way to low RPM. I hope someone more knowledge than I will confirm this.

    Cruse control issues

    I have a 2012 RT Limited. When I first got it the cruise control would not set unless I was going at least 46 MPH. I mentioned this to my local dealer when I took it in for the first service at 600 miles. He was not helpful, and like so many other Can-Am dealers does not have a clue about...

    Spyder Pricing and possible competiton

    Spyder pricing. I paid $22,000 plus $650 for shipping in an enclosed trailer from a dealer in Texas to my home in South Carolina for a new 2012 RT Limited in September of 2012. I think I got a good deal compared to the MSRP of almost $30,000. My local dealer wanted $25,400 for the exact same...

    Lost Key/Easy Frunk Opening

    600 mi. Service Cost?

    600 mile service. I paid $214.80 for 600 mile service on my 2012 RT Limited at Tomberlin Outdoor in Augusta, GA. I would not recommend this dealer, and plan to go to Velocity in Ladson, SC in the future for service. Though $362 sounds a bit high to me. Perhaps they do more than what the 600...

    Spyder RT vs Goldwing Trike or Harley Tri Glide

    Goldwing vs H-D Tri Glide vs Spyder RT I have a 2012 Spyder RT Limited, and both a 2012 H-D Tri Glide, and a GL1500 SE Goldwing with a side car. For general riding comfort I find the Goldwing to be far superior to either the Tri Glide or the Spyder. I can't speak to riding the twisties as I...
