• 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.

    RT-L vs F3-L wind protection question

    Hard to tell, and there are seemingly no dealers in Colorado except Lakewood which aren't allowing test-rides, so.. The RT-L and F3-L seem to be quite similar, though there are some notable ergonomic differences, in particular the seating position is seemingly lower and more "into" the F3 than...

    2019 RT Limited Options vs Standard

    Yeah, I found a brochure. I am not sure if the CB radio option was activated by one of the switch-blanks as well. Looks like some nice user options for toggle switches if you want there.

    2019 RT Limited Options vs Standard

    Can't seem to find options for the 2019 RT-Limited on the BRP website anymore, though I'm looking to buy a gray dark-edition one. I noticed there are placeholders for various switches but not all RT-Limited Spyders use these all. Since there's 5 switch locations, what would those be normally...

    2019 vs 2020 RT Limited?

    This is why I love this forum. Great information! I think the "Open Rear Hatch" sensor sometimes gets a message to the dash (not the cellphone cubby). There actually IS a leather-seat option on the accessories section of the CanAm website but it's a bit vague as to whether or not the heating...

    2019 vs 2020 RT Limited?

    Oh, I am familiar with the 2020 "Zip Tie" and "Sprocket" issues up to early 2021.

    2019 vs 2020 RT Limited?

    So.. it's been a long time since I've owned my RS-S 2013 (and RT-S) which I sold in 2016 but... I believe nothing has changed much from 2013 to 2019 except for the Rotax engine going to 1330 cc and the RS-S dropped in favor of the Ryker 660 model. I had switched to standard bikes again (Honda...

    Hard nut to crack

    Oh, okay. I just have to release the front plaque and it will come off. Cool.

    Hard nut to crack

    Oh goodness, what a pain! Dropping the frunk? Maybe I should get used to that as a lot of modifications require it. Anyone got a pic of the inside of the "cougar head"? I'm tempted to say something about cougar-head but.. this forum sure turned South.

    Hard nut to crack

    Anyone know how to get inside the upper-pod of the RS-S carefully? Thought about putting small rare-earth-magnet speakers where the "vents" are at. Seems a logical place, no?

    Good Deal or Not?

    Pretty good deal. Counter with $9000, then meet dealer half-way(ish) with $9700 saying you'll "meet him in the middle". Go for it. Your lack of motorcycle experience will actually be beneficial. Took me a month to go from a Honda Superhawk and 600RR to an RS-S. That whole high-side feeling...

    Hybrid?

    It's been 5 years and I haven't seen the Hybrid Spyder RS released yet. It's supposed to have 20 miles electric range, supposedly. Still getting dusty on their web-page. Anyone ever get a prototype?

    Brake fluid leak rear? 2013 RS-S

    FIXED! Turned upright! Done!

    Brake fluid leak rear? 2013 RS-S

    Ah! There was a bit of fluid there. That reservoir is quite pesky. The sensor indicates LOW and BRAKE FAILURE in the winter because of the fluid compressing ever-so-slightly! I'll re-position and try to find the hole. Easy. THANKS GUYS!

    Brake fluid leak rear? 2013 RS-S

    Noiced this after a hot ride (about 90 deg. for an hour). Seems like brake fluid. Is this a normal overflow? Seems about a tablespoon or so. Wasn't hot or anything. Reservoir looked fine. Have not received a "brake failure" warning message (though I had one in the winter and added...

    Newbie - Is there a way to just go to N without the parking brake?

    Yes, the RS models have a left-foot-activated parking brake like a car might. It's a mechanical brake that works fine. I usually go about 3 clicks myself. To un-engage, push down on it until it releases with the left foot. The brake will not wear-out when parked, so have no fear...

    Voodoo Exhaust

    There might be a different power-delivery torque curve, perhaps peaking at low or higher revs, but the odds are you're getting an audio-boost only. Often you lose mid-range with an additional exhaust (around 5-6krpm). This is well-known in the motorcycle community.

    Factory Two-Tone Paint?

    2013 models Most 2013 models were 2-tone for the RS-S. http://hooniverse.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/canam-04.png http://images.motorcycle-usa.com/PhotoGallerys/13-Can-Am-Spyder-RS-S.jpg http://images.motorcycle-usa.com/PhotoGallerys/xlarge/2013-Spyder-RS-S.jpg

    2014 RS list price

    My wife's RT-S had her first $297 600-mile service and it's just an oil and filter change. Should cost $29 with Mobil 1 synthetic if I do it myself plus the 2 filters for the SE5. They did nothing else, not even a tire pressure fill. Took 5 hours. I bet I can do it in 15 minutes. Rip-off...

    ST seat on an RS?

    Yeah, I did that before and the metal clip went .. PRIIIIIINGGGG into outer-space and landed about 20 feet away in my garage. I fear the Metal Clip of Hate (tm) though I'll try to just sort of loosen it. Once it's out of the two indents on the plastic surround it really really doesn't want to...
