• 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.

    Trip, Maine to Yellowstone

    When you mentioned the Tetons my first thought was "Aren't they called the Grand Tetons?" And after some time with Google, the answer is yes and no. The mountain range is called the Tetons. And the highest peak is Grand Teton (no 's'). And there is a Grand Teton National Park (also no 's')...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    So I opened a case with BRP about my Apple Carplay problems. I got a nice "sorry to hear about your problems" response email, asking for the VIN number so they can "proceed with your inquiry." I sent them the VIN about Noon local time, and it's now 7pm here. No response yet. They also said...

    2024 S2S won't go into Reverse gear - anyone else? What's the fix?

    Have you ever been able to get it into reverse, or is it just suddenly not wanting to go into reverse?

    Welcome, SlashRocket

    Welcome. It looks just like my 2024 S2S.

    What's your helmet of choice? Show us??

    Interesting idea, and interesting helmets. I'd post a picture, but my helmet is a boring HJC C91 modular helmet in "Semi Flat Pearl White". The only way it could be more boring is if it were the "Semi Flat Black" version of the C91.

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    I know it's the CAN-AM software for Apple Carplay that is the problem. I use the same iPhone with an Apple cable in my 2023 Honda Ridgeline, and it works every time without a problem.

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    And my mind went directly to Battlestar Galactica, and the slang term used to describe the Cylons: Toaster https://en.battlestarwikiclone.org/wiki/Toaster

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    So I live near Cookeville, Tennessee and recently attended the Spyders in the Delta Rally in Bono, Arkansas. It's over 350 miles (560 kms) from my house to the location of the rally. I ride a 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky, and have been using Apple Carplay on my Spyder for about a year. Up until this...

    Is there any way to adjust the Gauges Backlighting?

    The Operator's Guide for my 2024 Spyder RT says the display brightness adjustment is in the Preferences applet. I don't know if your 2016 RT-S has that option. You can download an Acrobat PDF copy of your Operators Guide from: https://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/P/5

    A different take on HD logo on stuff!

    My rainsuit is from Bilt, which apparently is the Walmart of motorcycle gear. My Sedici Avventura jacket is water proof, so I was really only interested in the pants. What I like about them is that the legs are really wide, so they easily pull on over my riding boots, and have a zipper at the...

    A different take on HD logo on stuff!

    Yeah, I was the guy who bought an HD branded helmet to take the MSF Basic Rider Course. The main reason I bought the HD helmet is that it was listed as the best for someone who wears glasses. It has slits built into the padding at your temples for the stems of the glasses to fit into. And it's a...

    Spyders in the Delta

    So when I checked in to the hotel I carried my helmet in with me. One of the people behind the checkin counter asked if I was on a motorcycle, and what color it was. Before I could answer she said all of her friends wore black helmets and she'd never seen a white motorcycle helmet. I had parked...

    I got another New Helmet!

    Well, I'm at the hotel for the night, a couple of hours ride from where the Spyders in the Delta rally is being held. I'll ride over in the morning. I plotted a route to avoid the interstate freeways, which I now think was a mistake. I expected it to take longer than the freeways, but I...

    Is a BEST extended warranty a good idea? What's the process on selling your BEST warrantied Spyder?

    I would have to pay out of pocket to have a different dealer take care of my Spyder. Your question tweaked my brain, so I brought up the dealer's website to see if I can garner any information about their business. And I was wrong. In the discussions with the sales person, I was told about 2...

    Buying a 2025 RT Limited - is the VIP Loyalty Program worth it? Is the Extended Warranty worth it?

    The VIP Loyalty Program and Extended Warranty Contract are not something that CAN-AM will support. They're something your local dealer is selling you, and unless they have multiple locations, you can only take it to that one location for coverage.
