• 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.

    CarPlay Froze, then entire Head Unit Froze Up While Riding, then supposedly updated and rebooted on the Highway - Anyone else had this happen?

    I have a Carpuride Carplay device I use with my F3S. Nothing is connected to the bike at all, just my phone and Sena headset. I also occasionally get freezing up, or not reconnecting after powering down and back up. It usually reconnects after one or two restarts. So I think the problem that...

    Spyder - Trader Joe's - A case of Two buck chuck will fit!

    I just had to google Two Buck Chuck and find out about it. Interesting read on Snopes: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cheap-swills/

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Re-adjusted my drive belt tracking. It had gotten a good quarter inch away from the sprocket.

    How can you tell when it is time to replace front shocks?

    Yes it wouldn't make sense for that shock. The part # for my front shock is 706001699. It's listed at $409.99.

    How can you tell when it is time to replace front shocks?

    At about 50,000 miles, my 2020 F3S left front shock was leaking. Replaced it with a friend's take off shock with less than 15K on it. I also found out that those shocks are rebuild-able.

    I HATE Vapor recovery (ECO) gasoline pump nozzles! Is this just "my issue" only? Anyone else? What do you do to avoid this?

    My Costco in CT has those pumps and I don't have any problem with them.

    Long Weekend Incident Report – Can-Am Spyder RT Limited

    If I were to purchase a 9 year old Spyder, I would expect it to need some work and budget accordingly. Or, I would decide to buy a newer bike for somewhat more money but that wouldn't need the repairs. This is your first roadside breakdown in over 20 years? Consider yourself lucky. Many...

    Anyone tried Rotating their front directional tires? Worth it?

    I could see changing to these next time. So not having to deal with the unmount/remount rotation.

    Anyone tried Rotating their front directional tires? Worth it?

    The tire dealer I bought my Vredesteins from rotated them for me for no charge. Yes that was unmounted and remounted for the directional change.

    Wish I had not gone with a Vredestien Tire

    I'm on my second set of Vredesteins and am very happy with them. I'll get them again next time. Same favorable experience and comments as those mentioned above so I won't repeat them.

    F3 Limited first impressions

    I hated using my phone on the handlebars. Bought a Carpuride and much happier with it. It's much easier to use and have multiple windows with Waze and Spotify running.

    Where are you from? Where do you live?

    I would love to do that but I can't seem to get my wife to agree.

    What's YOUR Number One Favorite, Model & Year, of Spyder you'd own given the chance?

    IMHO, anything model year 2020 or newer. RT changed in 2020 and the new ones have better ergonomics. F3 hasn't changed that much other than displays. Personally I prefer the F3. The RT seating position is too high for my likes but the RT has more storage in the frunk. So it will depend on...

    Weird story time!! White smoke and it smelt like wood burning!?

    I started up my gas grill yesterday. A mouse came running out along the grid and the new nest underneath caught fire. How did I know it was a new nest? Because I just did the same thing two weeks ago! Gotta find a good way to keep them out for good.

    2024 RT L back at the dealer for the 9th time in 3 months!! How long until you give up?

    I think if I were the OP, at this point I would try to find a way to make a deal with the dealer to replace the bike with a different one, new or used. Even if it cost me a grand or two out of pocket, it would bring me peace of mind to be rid of the bike that you will always be wary of. Long...

    Where are you from? Where do you live?

    From Connecticut, with a second home in Maine. What's great: four seasons of weather, able to ride most of the winter. But when it's too cold for the Spyder, we go snowmobiling in Maine. Great riding area and curvy hilly roads. CT is more suburban and rural than you might think. A lot of small...

    Recommend any Rear shock replacements other than the $$$ Elka's??

    It will be interesting to see what price point BajaRons' shocks come in at. At this age of life I've learned that you pretty much get what you pay for. Edit: after initially posting this comment, I looked at BajaRons' website and saw the price for the front shocks. Certainly not cheap but...

    Considering a Spyder - Can I Ask You Some Questions?

    I guess that depends if it's a private sale vs through a dealer with some additional warranty. I see a couple on FB Marketplace in the $24 to $25K range.
