• 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.

    Need to modify driver's seat on 2023 RTL - anyone made theirs comfortable?

    A couple of things - My 2024 Sea To Sky seat is hands down the most comfortable seat I have had on any of my 11 Spyders, including a custom Day Long seat. Riding from 7 am to 10 pm long distance is now pain free. But when I am riding one of mine that is not the Sea To Sky, I wear Ripple Apex...

    Is It OK to Make 500 km On the First Day With a Brand-New 2023 Can-Am RT Limited?

    Rode mine out of the dealership and 1350 miles from NY to Florida a couple years ago. 2 hour power nap in the Carolinas that was the only stop. So yes, your Spyder will be fine. And it's fine to leave it on for 20 minutes.

    What do you think of the 'New for 2025 - Spyder Canyon'?

    Website inaccurate, my dealer was at the show . It’s a true 10 plus inch ground clearance . Plus over 10 inches of suspension travel . Not bad .

    New Hyper Silver RT , traded F3L

    Just traded my 22 F3L for a RT limited. After riding the old style and new style RT’s for many 10’s of thousands of miles, I switched to the F3 Limited last year because “initially” I felt it offered a far more relaxed riding position when I took it for an extended test ride. However, after...

    HowTo: Add additional storage using BRP LINQ accessories

    I have a trailer and am going to install my hitch soon, but I prefer to ride trailerless when I can and I’m solo. I had been pondering adding a LINQ Base Plate to the trunk of my RT instead of a luggage rack, so I ordered a base plate, LINQ base attachments, and started with the 21L expandable...

    Is the F3L muffler the same as the RT muffler on 1330 motors?

    Great info here on the F3 to RT exhaust swap from one of best Spyder techs in existence. https://youtu.be/j77BQIED2Sg

    How many 2022 Spyders Coming?? Shout if you've ordered/got one!

    Thanks - The seating position . With the RT you sit up “on” the Spyder; with the F3 you are much lower in the machine, lowers the center of gravity, handles like it's on rails, and I am 6’2” 265 pounds and I personally fit soooo much better. Hips are more relaxed etc.

    How many 2022 Spyders Coming?? Shout if you've ordered/got one!

    My dealer called last week and said they had a F3L ordered for a customer since Fall, and it just arrived (with all the parts, yay!) and the customer couldn't get financed .... So, out with the '21 RT and in with the '22 F3L. Currently I have ridden it home (28 miles of bliss) and it is torn...

    New bike 600 miles and already troubles?

    Glad it came back up.... However , You stated in your original post that you rode it from La to Sanfran already.... that distance is way more than needed for your charging system to fully charge the battery. If , after that ride it shortly went dead , I would seriously consider a replacement...

    HowTo: Bypass BRP Connect

    If you are like me and 90% of the time you do not want to use BRP Connect, but you don’t want to take your Tupperware off locate the accessory terminal and run a separate USB to your glove box so you can charge your iphone without it trying to constantly connect to the Spyder , the attached...

    2022 model announcement on Wednesday- any rumors or thoughts?

    As posted above slight emissions changes for the 900 and the 600 Ryker motors and the rally is no longer ….it is now a called a sport - expect exciting “bold new graphics” as the only changes on the full-size spyder lineup. A little bit of a bummer but we can’t have crazy cool things every...

    2021 RT LTD dash display mode - setting 'Auto' light sensitivity?

    Same here - seems the ambient light sensor is too sensitive or the software algorithm doesn’t wait long enough as it sees mild light adjustments - went into the settings and just chose dark. Problem alleviated. If riding on a bright day and you prefer the white screen it’s literally 4 button...

    2021 RT Limited with build date of June 2020. Any problems I should look out for?

    That was only affecting 2020 models . Corrected mid 2020 model year. 2021 model year (regardless of production date) should not be affected.

    Nolan helmets - what makes them so popular?

    Nolan N 104 Modular user for 8 years now. At the time ( and may still be?) it was the only modular helmet that came in XXXL size and didn't cause me discomfort at the forward crown of my head. Literally 100,000 miles later you can have my helmet when you pry it off my cold dead body. I would...
