• 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.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    CAN-AM added the ability to connect to a Wifi network in 2024. I've updated my 2024 Spyder RT a couple of times using my home Wifi network. To get updates for your 2023 you'll need to visit someone who has a BUDS license, like a CAN-AM dealer.

    Here's some Weird Misinformation about Spyder RT's!!

    I think they just get chased by police more frequently since red is more "visible". 😁

    What trunk organizer works best for a 2025 Spyder RT LTD?

    Okay, I understand what you're looking for now. A bit of time with Google, and I think a "sun visor organizer" might fit with what you want. I found this site, which has a bunch of different sizes: https://overlandgearguy.com/collections/visor-organizers It's HUGE, as in almost too big. The...

    I got another New Helmet!

    My local Harley-Davidson dealer advertises as having a helmet specialist on their staff.

    What trunk organizer works best for a 2025 Spyder RT LTD?

    I bought the CAN-AM luggage set for my 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky. The set I bought is four pieces: a roller case that fits the front trunk; two small bags that fit the side cases; and one bag that fits the top case behind the passenger seat. Top case bag...

    Anybody see a measurable change in fuel mileage with larger diameter rear tire?

    But how much more does the larger tire cost than a normal sized tire? And what kind of fuel mileage increase would be required to offset that cost over the life of the bigger tire?

    Does anyone know of the amp draw of the stock horn on the RT? - 2012 RT

    The Operator's Guide for my 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky shows the Horn fuse as being 15A. If you don't have the Acrobat PDF version you can download one here for the US versions: https://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/P/5

    Has anyone ever mounted the transponder part of a key next to the ignition to bypass DESS?

    I'm not sure why you would want to do this. It doesn't make it any simpler to start your bike.

    After a comparison of the Stinger trailer vs the Roadstar Foldable Trailers - anyone/any info?

    Interesting, especially since Slingmods sells both the Stinger and the Roadstar. Looking at the specs, the trailers weigh the same (555 lbs), but the Stinger is rated to carry more weight. Both are rated to carry more than double the weight of a Spyder RT Sea2Sky.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Renewed the Spyder's vehicle registration online. Printed the receipt and put it in the zippered documents folder in the top case. I should received the updated sticker and official registration document in a week or so.

    'The Lamonster Chronicles'

    I remember having to take mine in to get it "smog" tested. I pulled into the shop, turned it off and opened the engine hatch. The tester looked at the engine and said "Hmmm...it looks like you have one too many carburetors." But he still hooked up the cables, then had me start the engine. If...

    Probably a stupid idea - thinking I might go from a 2018 F3 Ltd to an RTL S2S - am I crazy and should just keep what I have?

    I bought Meticulous Matte products from chemicalguys.com to care for my 2024 Spyder RT S2S, which is matte white. https://www.chemicalguys.com/search?q=meticulous+matte

    Random thought for the day

    Isaac Asimov was one of the truly great science fiction writers! I, Robot of course, and the Foundation Series, but I also liked Caves of Steel as the...uh...foundation of the Foundation Series. :LOL:

    Random thought for the day

    My brain went Kung Fu for a moment (the original TV series), and thought: Very wise, Grasshopper And then my brain went bonkers and started wondering if your full name was Grasshopperwolf, or Grasswolf, or some other absurd name. I'm going back to bed now, ignore the half asleep person who's...

    Random thought for the day

    I remember having a conversation with my father about college and choosing what program to select for my studies. He said something similar to the Mark Twain quote: Do what you love, the money will follow. I know there was a book published in 1987 with that as a title, but the discussion with...

    Is there any way to charge at more than the 2.1 amps from the USB on the Spyder?

    The cable in the glove box is a USB A connector. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hardware I installed a docking station on my handlebars from Spyder Extras, which is connected to the accessory power port on the right front of my Spyder. The documentation says it provides 2.1 amps.
