• 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.

    Would appreciate any advice on Spyder General Maintenance Costs?

    Assuming it doesn't sit in the garage, I find I spend about 10 cents a mile at the end of the day, including some incidental upgrades. That said, being in SoCal, I have a better option for service than a typical dealer.

    How do you secure your Helmets when leaving your bike?

    In the front, side or back compartments most of the time, but if those are full I use Lidlox (during the day - I take it in with me at night if it won't fit in the Spyder). Between the helmet and the communications system, I don't want to leave over a thousand dollars sitting on my seat for any...

    To Choose a Blind Spot Mirror or a Blind Spot Detector - or Both?

    I want to come in here and re-ask the question. My car warns me of people in my blind spots, and while I never depend on it to tell me it's safe to change lanes, it certainly helps me see that isn't safe quickly. So, an electronic blind spot detector may be rather useful here, and if anybody...

    2024 Models Are On the Can-Am Site

    Interestingly enough, CarPlay is the one thing I've felt was really missing, so I'm glad it was added on. I understand those of you who are use Android are disappointed, and I agree it should also be an option. I completely understand why there aren't major upgrades, but it really is long past...

    Does this handlebar look factory standard for my 2021 RTL?

    After trying the riser, I just went all in and purchased the Helibars. Painful financially, but well worth it in the long run (and having kept the other bars, i can take them with me if I like). I toyed with them for a while (you'll have to get the torch right) until I found the right fit, and...

    Selling my Spyder - should I let them ride, or pillion?

    I was simply going to say that you needed a liability release and cash in hand, but I think this is a far better option. One vote for this very wise suggestion.

    Backrest - BRP or Showchrome for a 2020 RT-L?

    After a decade of riding without one, I think I'd like to add the support of a backrest. The two contenders seem to be the BRP stock backrest at $360 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZG3D38R/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1), and the Showchrome version sold by Lamonster and others at $212...

    looking for some opinions on acceptable amount of miles when buying used..

    In my experience, Spyders over 50K can start running into more issues just because of age (even if very well cared for). 8000-35000 miles might be a good range to look in. It can also help to know if a big maintenance is coming up (for example, my factory shocks have tended to need replacing...

    Review: BRP Go! is going...going...GONE!!

    I agree that few products are perfect or problem free, but they released this and made a big about deal about it, yet it really doesn't work in any reasonable way. CarPlay would have been an infinitely better option, or just leave well enough alone and don't add functionality that doesn't...

    Do iMotorsport charge fees & freight? Any hidden fees?

    They did/do offer free delivery for Spyderlovers members - be sure to ask.

    Review: BRP Go! is going...going...GONE!!

    What makes you think this will work with an iPhone? I tried to use it when I got my 2020 RT-L and quickly gave up because it was so terrible in every respect. Just attach your phone to your Spyder and use that. This is something that never should have been released.

    Dealer says Demo Rides are not possible - any suggestions?

    I haven't ready through all the comments so apologies if this has been covered, but even better than a brief test ride is renting one for the day: https://www.riders-share.com

    998cc My current ride is a 2011 RT - is the 1330 that much better?

    For example, this guy will rent you a 2021 RT for $95 a day east of Los Angeles.... https://turo.com/us/en/car-rental/united-states/menifee-ca/can-am/spyder-rt-limited/1406121

    998cc My current ride is a 2011 RT - is the 1330 that much better?

    Here is what I found, My 2010 was fine if it was just me, but with two of us I could really feel the drag. The 1330 feels like it gets me there faster and feels "better" at higher speeds. Also, my Pedal Commander feels as though it drastically speeds up response time, and makes the throttle...

    What is the difference between the '14, '15, & '16 RT's?

    I went from a 2014 to a 2020. I love my 2020, except for the terrible cluster a BRP connect - for that reason I would prefer the older cluster design. In the end, though, I wouldn't make a decision just based on that. Perhaps there are have been some minor changes in the later years to...

    Saw a Ryker in Amazon Prime TV movie 'The Peripheral'

    On second look, I saw a quick close-up and I do think you're right. I'm thinking they just did a physical modification, it's easier and cheaper than computer animation in every shot.

    Saw a Ryker in Amazon Prime TV movie 'The Peripheral'

    Great show, but while it reminded me of a Ryker, it didn't look enough like one for me to think it was built using a Ryker. As to the sound, most of time in show like this it's always added in post. It could well be a Harley, or just about anything else. You'd be surprised how much of what...

    Watching Das Boot on tv.....

    I think that's the point - a person can be evil, but that doesn't make every cell in their body evil. I have great pity for many of the Russians who are being sent to the Ukraine, and I would like to see as few of them die as possible in a Ukrainian victory.

    Can Anyone recommend a good Dealer?

    In 2020 when I looked at ordering through them (the Spyder I wanted was out of stock and identical version with a 2021 sticker was several thousand more - not their fault), they were still including free shipping for SpyderLovers members - just ask when you call. They were very straight...

    Watching Das Boot on tv.....

    There are actually a number of different cuts of Das Boot, both as a film and as mini-series, with some additional home video edits. More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Das_Boot
