• 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.

    Chatter noise when taking off...

    I have the same issue as described... however I'm right at the oil change mileage and I'm thinking nice fresh oil will clear it up. Or... hoping... praying?

    Will the 2014 ST be Kool or Cool?

    So far it looks like these side panels are there to improve cooling. They certainly will allow more fresh air into the area of heat buildup behind the engine and as long as you're moving it should do the trick. The panels are able to be retrofit onto the 2013 models. The question is, is BRP...

    Performance and cornering

    As someone who corners way too fast *and* as someone who's actually rolled a Spyder GS (all the way over, 360) it takes a LOT to screw up. However the proper mixture of oil, antifreeze and going into a corner too fast will, as Lamont put it, pitch you like a lawn dart. I came off in a snap...

    Here's a look at the 2014 Can-Am Spyder lineup

    So the 2014 RT seems to have solved the heat issues of the 2013 RT's... moved and added radiators, new engine etc. But the 2014 ST is exactly the same? So they still haven't resolved the overheating issues... It doesn't look like they intend to put this engine into the 2015 ST either. Hm...

    Retrofit cruise on 2013+ models

    The base 2013 ST does not include cruise but the ST-S and ST-L do. I'm pretty sure the RS and RT follow a similar pattern but brp's website should remove any questions there. Since the cruise is purely electronic (due to the electronic throttle) I don't think a retrofit would be impossible or...

    Center Display Orange!

    Anyone know where the light sensor is?

    2013 spark plug colors?

    One concern I've heard on this is that if BRP changes the fuel map, they need to run it through all the EPA testing again (and the equivalent in Canada as well) so they can get their 50 state certification. That costs money... More likely they'll fix it in the 2014 models, which need to go...

    My 300 mile Spyder trip to Lassen National Park...

    For gas issues I recommend one of those vented mesh seats... oh, THAT kind of gas issue. Great pictures, I need to move ;)

    stuff for a 2013 ST

    That's a dangerous game. Dehydration is a serious thing and can happen at any temperature. If you weren't very hydrated before leaving, it could take as little as 2 hours to be severely dehydrated while riding. Not only does it make you feel awful and cripple your judgement (a lot like...

    Touring Windscreen

    I find the brp ultra touring for the ST to be just about perfect height wise (I', 5'9") and I can use it in any of the positions with nice smooth air, or almost done if all the way up. Not knocking the Cal-Sci screens tho, considering getting a wide one for more hand/shoulder coverage for winter.

    Garmin

    Assuming you like chrome :) I went with the STS because of the dark grey and black wheels and trim everywhere. The floorboards, exhaust etc are all black. Then I added in the saddlebags for $1000 (who pays retail?) and a GPS for $190ish. I looked at going the other way from an ST-L to the...

    Russel Day Long seat vs Kon tour seat

    As others have said, the Kontour keeps the original shape of the seat whereas the Russel you sit "in" the seat as opposed to "on" it like stock and Kontour. My wife and I have Kontours on our GS's and now my ST. I've also sat on Mr. Orange's Russel Day Long seat. I like my Kontour quite a...

    Optimum Operating RPM

    2013 STS with the touring windshield and bags loaded for a week long trip. Cruise on at 85mph for 170 miles, 5th gear, somewhere north of 6000 rpm, put in 4.4 gallons = 38.6 mpg Cruise on at 70mph for 100 miles, 5th gear, somewhere between 5000-5500 rpm, put in 3.1 gallons = 32.3 mpg The...

    Parts Installed Bajaron Sway Bar

    That's what Ron should call them... the Spyder Limbo Bar!

    Heat Problem

    The deflectors are now built into the front fenders and supposedly bring in more air while increasing mileage (BRP's words not mine.)

    All jokes aside, is this viable?

    Not sure where you can put this that'll do something... On a boat bilge, do they blow in or out? A boat bilge is fairly enclosed... The Spyder is relatively open. Where would you put this? curious...

    BRP sport touring windshield

    What he's trying to say is... don't bother :) It is taller, it doesn't help much. In fact I think it makes it worse than no windshield. Save your money and put it towards a madstad with a 20" shield then adjust it to your taste. Looks a little goofy but it does the trick. Or, get the BRP...

    ST Mirrors

    Somewhere between steps 4b and 7a you have to sacrifice a live chicken while standing on your head and reciting the lyrics to yellow submarine in iambic pentameter. :( This is why techs have to go to school for these. So they can figure out how to remove a mirror. :bowdown:

    Anti Sway Bar Kit

    While I do think the fox shocks are an improvement and add much desired adjustability, the sway bar included in that kit is quite weak (maybe 2% stiffer than stock?) The price is right tho! So get the BRP kit *and* order BajaRon's swaybar and end links. You won't regret it...

    2013 ST Blowout

    Agreed... Just wait til the 2014's come out with a 1300cc engine or something that makes us all regret getting 2013's
