• 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.

    Entertainment System Audio Quality

    I have been satisfied with the radio with J&M Performance headsets on my 2014 RT-S. The intercom has "snow like" noise in it, and took several trials to get it to work effectively. The CB is still a work in progress. See my posts under RT shop talk. Compared to my 2012 Gold Wing, I like being...

    CB Radio Issues

    CB update Well the snow and ice and then rain, finally broke so I took the Spyder to the dealer for the installation of a new antennae set. The dealer replace everything from the CB radio to , and including, the antennae. The tech did note that the original coaxial cable from the antennae that...

    CB Radio Issues

    The thought that the Can-AM CB would only work with Can-AM headsets reared its ugly head to me once. It seems to be just a money making deal if true. Since I own 2 other bikes with CB's, it would be quite expensive to buy two new helmets and two BRP headsets just to use the CB with the Spyder...

    CB Radio Issues

    Spoke with the dealer today. Can-Am responded to their written case request saying to start with replacing the current antennae. Can-Am has not had a report as bad as mine. Dealer to call when new antennae is in. They hope to have a Gold Wing ( they are a Honda dealer) there that they can use to...

    CB Radio Issues

    Well the dealer had me call 2 customer services phone numbers for Can_Am. I assume they were to Canada as I had to choose option 2 for English. Both customer service reps said they could not help me. Only the dealer could contact Tech Support . The only option the customer has , if he doesn't...

    2014 CB Problem RTS-SE6

    I have the same problem. I have posted about under CB Issues in RT shop talk. I am waiting for the dealer to call back re: Can-Am says about it. The dealer had my bike for a week. Said they checked the wiring harness, grounds, and antennae. Their solution was to decrease the squelch and...

    CB Radio Issues

    I picked up my Spyder yesterday from the dealer. As noted before, they said the CB , antennae, and wiring harness were OK. The problem was my squelch was too high and microphone too low. They tested the CB's transmission with my helmet while the tech talked to another holding a hand held CB...

    CB Radio Issues

    Well, the dealer reported that the tech checked the CB and antennae wiring and harness. Made sure all grounds were connected. Then the tech rode my Spyder with my helmet on while transmitting to a handheld CB the service adviser had. The problem, the adviser said, was my squelch was too high and...

    CB Radio Issues

    Well, I dropped the Spyder off at the dealer who I bought it from. Talked to their mechanic, who admitted he knew nothing about CB radios, although he was the one who installed it. Said he will call BRP on Tuesday . Then the service writter is suppose to call me. I left my helmets with the...

    does this sound right?

    Bad gas? If the bike sat a long time with gas in the tank, it could have gone bad. May even have some condensation in it, which would make the engine run rough until cleared out. Carburetors were famous for gunking up if left with gas in them a long time. Fuel injectors are usually not as badly...

    CB Radio Issues

    Loud Squeal Same problem I am having ( see my first post above). Called the dealer and the service manager said to bring the Spyder in and he will have the tech look at it. Asked if they had had this problem with any other Spyder's CB. Service manager replied," No.". I am assuming you have the...

    CB Radio Issues

    I do not have a trailer hitch. Where would this ground be ? It seems a shame that you would have to buy a J& M antenna kit to make the really expensive stock CB work. I wonder if a Honda Gold Wing CB unit could be mounted in the same place as the Can-Am radio. Probably would not work with the...

    CB Radio Issues

    can't transmit I finally got the new CB for my 2014 RT-S installed by the dealer. Worked fine in the garage between the Spyder and my Gold Wing. First chance to use it was on a New Year's Day ride with my Gold Wing chapter. I could transmit sitting in the parking lot, but once we got moving...

    Another 2014 Thread

    I had the same problem with the saddlebag lids on on my 2014 RT-S. Took it back 2 times before the mechanic and I discovered ( while having the CB put in) that there is an adjustment screw on the lid release cable just above the tail lights. Take off the rear colored panel along the lower edge...

    RT seating

    Butt Buffer I found the stock seat works better for me on long rides with my Butt Buffer on the seat. I also have the tri-axis bars which work much better for me that the stock bars.

    I'm an Idiot!

    I just had the new CB system (with the Entertainment Harness) installed on my 2014 RT-S SM6. I planned on using the J&M headsets in my helmets . One is for my Gold Wing and has a 5 pin to 5 pin connecting cord. The other is for the handlebar mounted J&M CB, which has a 6 pin connection from the...
