• 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.

    Springtime Pre-flight Inspection - don't skip over the first brake fluid change!

    The Operators Guide for my 2024 Spyder RT says to replace the brake fluid every 2 years, regardless of the odometer. (Page 122)

    Is Plexus, the plastic cleaner/protector, available anywhere besides the manufacturer?

    I've been using Chemical Guys Meticulous Matte products, which are designed for matte finishes. For the windshield and the visor of my helmet I use warm water to clean the bugs off, and then finish with RainX Plastic to help water run off faster.

    Why is my Tire pressure so low?!

    Don't know, and it's not important now that you know where the information is. And you're very welcome.:D

    My New 2025 Sea-to-Sky - any suggestions on what gear or upgrades to get first?

    I have the same docking station/mount on my 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky, which I added before CAN-AM got Apple CarPlay to work correctly. I used it with a Garmin Zumo XT GPS, which I still have, and still carry with me on long trips. Prior to the BRP Connect 4.1 software update, I had a couple of...

    Why is my Tire pressure so low?!

    Page 104 was for the Spyder F3 Operators Guide. For the Spyder RT Operators Guide it's page 101 in the section titled: Tire Pressure and Maximum Load It also mentions that the information is located under the operator's seat. And there's a picture with an arrow showing you where the sticker is.

    Just had an Internet learning experience!

    I just checked my plan, and Unlimited Data means an unlimited amount of data. The only caveat is that when using my iPhone as a hotspot, after a certain amount of data usage via the hotspot, the speed of the data transfer is throttled until the next billing period.

    My New 2025 Sea-to-Sky - any suggestions on what gear or upgrades to get first?

    If you're going to be traveling I'd suggest the luggage set. Two bags to fit the saddle bags, a roller bag for the front trunk, and one for the top case. They also sell a 5-piece set, but it replaces the single front trunk bag with two bags. I like the single roller bag better...

    Does Apple CarPlay work well on your Spyder?

    This thread was started July 7, 2025: https://www.spyderlovers.com/threads/brp-connect-ver-4-1-is-now-available.164222/ I live near Cookeville, TN and was able to download over my home WiFi at that time. If your dealer won't do the update for you, you'll need to connect your Spyder to a WiFi...

    Does Apple CarPlay work well on your Spyder?

    I bought my 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky in March of 2024. When it was first delivered Apple CarPlay did not work. BRP released a software update, which I installed using my home WiFi network, and then it started working... sometimes. There was another software update to the Spyder for BRP Connect...

    Just had an Internet learning experience!

    I upgraded my phone service to include Unlimited Data when I bought my 2023 Honda Ridgeline. It has Apple CarPlay, which uses phone data for some functions. Now that Apple CarPlay is working on my Spyder, I'm glad I upgraded.

    Rider Backrest: Adjustment Screw will not turn - am I missing something?

    There's no separate set screw for the driver's back. Page 35 and 36 of the Operator's Guide has information on adjusting the backrest. One of the things I noticed while checking the guide is that it says you have to lean the backrest forward before turning the adjusting screw.

    Is it possible to install a 2020 RT Footboard on a 2011 RT?

    You mean the floorboards? The simple answer is no, the floorboards for a 2020 RT won't fit on a 2011 RT. But there are companies that make/sell floorboards for a 2011. Here are some options: https://store.valueaccessories.net/footpegsmisc.aspx

    2023 RTL Rider's Seat won't stay up with its new Sheepskin Cover - is there a Support Strut for it?

    I had fun reading the information. So many laughs at the "english" language they used: "*Made of good materials, wear-resistant, non-deformable, quick and easy to use."
