• 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.

    Which is the preferred model & why - Wireless Bluetooth 5.0 or 4.0 TPMS?

    Bluetooth 5 is faster, has greater range, can handle crowded frequencies on which it works better than 4, and consumes less power. However the way in which TPMS works with data and the devices that will transmit or receive it, won't benefit much from any of the new features of 5. Licensing I...

    Dealers are refusing to work on Old Spyders!

    It is ridiculous, it does make me wonder if BRP are behind this. So much for getting value out of ownership.

    Spyder enjoyment vs. experience of ownership

    You hit so many aspects of Can-Am ownership on the head. I almost walked away from the brand when I bought mine new at a dealership. BRP had some extras as part of the deal and it took almost 6 months to get what I was entitled to - dealing with BRP Customer service was Customer frustration...

    Anyone else a loner and not a group rider?

    I do some trips solo - I drive to one of 3 intersection in town and decide if I go North, South, East or West. I certainly enjoy those trips where it doesn't matter what time I stop for the night/meal-break/rest-stop. I prefer to get away early (pre dawn) and maximize the ride time. I do also...

    Can you REALLY remove Headlight Bulbs with ONLY the Service Panel Off?

    Yes, the last time I did the bulbs in my '17RTL I lost 2 kilos - some of it on the floor, some still attached to the sharp edges inside that area of the Spyder, and some on the paper towel wiping the blood trails everywhere.

    Is there already a Trailer wire harness connection?

    I also made the harness - our trailer connectors use 7 pins. I bought the required deutsche fittings from AliExpress to maintain the waterproof connections - it looks the part and has been very reliable.

    Is there already a Trailer wire harness connection?

    Under the seat there is a panel under which there is a connector that is meant to be "decoupled" to allow a trailer harness to be inserted between the two connectors on the '17 RTL, it may exist on the RTS. The picture below shows the approx location of the cover under the seat on another model...

    Thank you mother nature for the reminder

    1 - In Australia we used to be able to make and fit our own tow bar, but now it must have the manufacturers "badge" on it certifying it as genuine made by an approved manufacturer. If its not you may defected off the road or made to leave the Van\trailer on the roadside and the car inspected...

    Thank you mother nature for the reminder

    Yesterday I rode home from Grafton NSW and just wanted to extend my thanks to Mother Nature. The trip is about 650km ahead, and around 7 hrs ride time not including fuel stops for the '17RTL and myself. I was thinking of linking up with some mates further down the east coast at "bike night"...

    Has anybody with EBC brake pads noticed better stopping power??

    That would be a "hell yes" especially under heavy braking. Heat em up and they are awesome, but with better grip comes faster wear.

    My first ride in the rain

    I treat my visor with Rainex, yes its supposed to damage the visor, but I replace mine at least every 6 months from scratching and havent seen any other effects. I use Rainex for plastics on the windshield, I do mine before I head off on a long trip (about once/twice a month) and again when I...

    Can the bulb socket be replaced in tail light assembly RT models?

    Yes, me too until I pulled the bulb out.

    Can the bulb socket be replaced in tail light assembly RT models?

    My 622 trailer has the same tail light assembly as my '17 RTL and the R indicator socket has lost its spring tension when holding the bulb, resulting in it not working from time to time. Is it possible to replace the socket without having to replace half of the trailer :) ? I imagine the cost...
