• 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.

    Is this much Oil usage normal?

    He stated he checks oil at gas stops, but does he actually let the bike idle for 10 minutes before checking the oil? That is important to let the low pressure pumps return sump oil to the reservoir. Seems like that would be a long gas stop. Just say'n.

    What do you carry for Travel Snacks?

    Back in my two wheeled days we used a Camelback in an insulated bag on the top case rack. Made a longer hose that hooked on the tank bag and we could both stay hydrated on our long trips. Not sure if I move that to the RTL yet but the Bushtec is coming over. I would get a fresh cup of ice at...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Finally broke the 400 mile point with a ride with the wife onboard. It was her first ride on a Spyder and her first ride on less than four wheels in over two years. She was very happy to be back on a bike again. I was impressed by the air ride system on the RTL. Did not notice it when she got...

    Is there a switch to use in the 2020+ blank spot to use as a Home Link switch for opening Garage doors?

    I am using that hole for a switch that controls my chin light bar. I run a mini remote velcroed into the inside of the glove box for the garage door.

    How can I access 2024 RT Limited Reverse light and indicator bulbs to swap for LED's?

    Yeah I see what you mean. I did get mine out. I used a smaller T20 to wedge in under the lip to get the top screw out. Then I found two push buttons to release the bottom arms and got it out. The bulb is a 21 watt Osram 64136 and they are about $9 at my local Adavance Atuo parts.

    How can I access 2024 RT Limited Reverse light and indicator bulbs to swap for LED's?

    I am in that far now and see what you mean. It has been too cold to continue but I should get in there in the next day or so. They did not make this easy. I think there are two torx fasteners on either side that will allow that back sub panel to move out from under that lip and if so I can...

    Apple CarPlay update - what is the secret to getting it working properly??

    I hear that but I have to wonder why there is a unterminated three pin connector over the top of my left rear tailight connector that was not there on 2023 and earlier models???

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    UPDATED to correct my errors. Not so much that I did something to my Spyder today, but rather I learned something about how Can Am engineers design things. I recently bought my 2024 RTL and was preparing to set it up for hauling my Bushtec Turbo 2 (I have owned it for 16 years and put 60,000...

    Another rider needed a jump start, which got me thinking... Here's my better way!

    Check the size of the fuse, most likely it would blow on a jump start. It is 10 amps or less I'll bet.

    Is there a way to put the dash into Accessories mode?

    Just leave the key on and put a battery charger on the bike during the update. No need to start the engine, just roll the throttle froward and the dash will appear.

    2024 RTL vs. 2020 RTL

    I discovered the last time I rode it the center display data cannot be changed while moving (other than to cycle the two option on each with the OK lever). I had to stop to switch to MPG/range from volts/water temp.

    How can I access 2024 RT Limited Reverse light and indicator bulbs to swap for LED's?

    I have not been in that far yet. I got my hitch kit last week from BRP and it was missing a harness so I had to send it back and order another one. It gets here Tuesday so I should be getting in there right after that and I will see what's there.

    How can I access 2024 RT Limited Reverse light and indicator bulbs to swap for LED's?

    Go to Sling Mods and look at the install video for the AfterBurner lights. That will show you how to get the side covers loose from the rear deck (except on the 2024 all the screws are T-25 and no plastic screw plugs). Once you have done that there are two tiny screws with a bolt type head on...
