• 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.

    What are these Brake pad "liners" called and where can we order new ones?

    What it could be is the rotors are made in the same Chinese factory as other Can Am parts and they're only produced under license. So, they really aren't Brembo.

    What are these Brake pad "liners" called and where can we order new ones?

    Those items are called brake pad shims or anti-squeal shims. IMO, EBC HH pads are better quality than the OEM Brembo units, and don't really require those shims. (Brembo pads are good, but are prone to squealing.). However, you can reinstall the shims onto the EBC pads if you want. It's...

    What are your thoughts on Magic Mirrors or Magnetic Mirror mounts for a 2016 RT Limited?

    Sorry, Jay, but respectfully, I don't agree with you on this point. Even doing it the correct way, those mounts are super fragile and over time will and do fail. Those little spring clips are garbage. IMO, the MM are the hot ticket for long term ownership.

    2012 RT experiencing mushy brakes

    As stated, the older Spyders had Chinese brakes that were knock-off Brembo units. They were not that good and were replaced by real Brembo Brakes on the newer models. Can Am wouldn't have bitten that bullet unless they were forced.

    "Check Key" Msg on display - Any ideas as to what might be wrong?

    I remember years ago there was a thread posted about how to disable the DESS antenna, so maybe some diligent searching will give you the results you're asking for.

    Wish I had not gone with a Vredestien Tire

    On my 2014 RT I tried this size of tire, but I don't remember the brand anymore. It worked perfectly well. No issue whatsoever. (y)

    Does a Handlebar Riser exist for a 2012 RTS?

    I believe your only option is the OEM Can Am tri-axis handlebar riser kit.

    What's with the Herky Jerky on first cold start-up of each day? Any thoughts?

    Both my previous 2014 RT and my current 2020 RTL do that as well. I also think it just a rather cold blooded beast due to various sensors and overly lean fuel mapping to comply with modern environmental standards.

    Bad news if you want a set of 165/60R-15 Vredestein Quatracs from tire rack!

    That's what I've got on mine and I'm totally satisfied with this tire.

    2014 RT won't start - “Mode button” doesn’t work. Any ideas, or where to start looking?

    I too suggest looking at the battery first off.

    What do you think is the Best Full Cover For Travel? How big is the storage pouch?

    I too use a half cover for travel and a full cover for longer term storage. Traveling with a full sized cover seems to take up too much real estate.

    What is the function of the Rear signature light on an RTL? How does it turn on & off?

    I assume they refer to it as a signature light because, as I stated before, it's a left over from the previous RT models. They probably are calling it a "signature" light to hide the fact that they're recycling an old part on a new model. I think the license plate light and "signature" back up...

    What is the function of the Rear signature light on an RTL? How does it turn on & off?

    It should be a back up light, a leftover from earlier models.

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

    I would suspect that most of the laundry list of problems you listed could be traced to a single source. Electrical issues with a CANBUS system can be caused by a single issue. I've seen it in the car world. A single issue can cause a cascade effect showing fault codes and other issues that...

    Is there a better antennae for a 2023 Spyder RT Limited?

    Honestly, if you're looking for better reception, you're probably going to need a longer antenna and a signal booster. The antenna is too short for proper reception. Disclaimer: (My nephew is an electrical engineer and radio expert whose explained radio theories to me, so I have no personal...

    Has anyone added Marvel Mystery Oil - any comments?

    I'll add my "voice" to the category of not recommending it's usage.

    My Back between the shoulders hurts after 6 hours of riding - anyone else? Would handlebar risers help? Is this normal?

    Small body position changes can make all of the difference. Helibars are really good, but expensive. Lamonster makes a small handlebar riser plate for your bike. Much cheaper and easier to install. That could be all you need. Or not. The F3 short reach bars might be it too. Also, much cheaper...

    Is Running Diesel Oil in Your Spyder such a good idea?
