• 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.

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

    Did they brighten up the Turn indicators etc., on the dash Just wondering for 2014 if they have enhanced the brightness of turn signal indicators and other lights on the Instrument cluster? Bright sunny days made it hard to see things at times. ;)

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

    Very interested now in the 2014---but Why did they drop the VIPER RED----I get so many comments about the VIPER RED we have---Great for visibility too. Just love the 6-speed transmission-3 cyclinder engine--done away from the heat and boiling gas issues, lower cost maintanence engine----How...

    MPG - widely varied on Trip from Twin Cities to North Shore - Minnesota

    Real gasoline vs. ethanol When in Minnesota before, with a Honda Civic Hybrid- the car who normally only got 40 mpg was getting well over 50 mpg--- Found out that Marathon Oil (I believe) up there sells only REAL GASOLINE and not the Ethanol junk. So, maybe that is what you had and didn't...

    Spyder fires

    Gas situation At the time my gas tank was 1/2 full when I smelled those fumes with it parked in my garage vs. the barn and after moving it from barn to the garage while on vacation. I fill the spyder very very slowly and once it clicks I do not go any further. So I don't get it. ;)

    Strong GAS Smell After Ride

    I Posted somewhere else my experience I do not have a recall gas cap and I pulled my 2012 RTS SE5 into our garage from the barn---went on vacation and came back and the garage was filled with gas fumes--very strong so do not think the caps are the issues per say. Like you though this talk...

    Spyder fires

    Fumes- boiling gas etc, I simply pulled my 2012 RTS SE5 from our barn to the house to park it in the garage while we had one to Mn for a vacation. When we got back and opened up the garage to move things around---it smelled like gasoline pretty strongly. It hasn't been that hot here in...

    Thermal event

    Things could be so much worse--- I'll tell you all this: I have not even owned my 2012 Viper Red RTS-SE5 a year yet.....I have had boiling gas in the gas tank and reading these posts of the Demo Fire and hearing a lot of "HEAT" issues and having to have exhaust pipes wrapped and fuel lines...

    Side Fender Lights

    ALWAYS USE HIGH BEAMS DURING THE DAY!

    Hate to disagree with you ------ When I took my MSF safety training course before I got my "M" endorsement, we were taught in class to run with high beams on in the daytime, ALL THE TIME, until evening. Even with fog lights etc., on my RTS- I run with them all on and high beams- when it...

    Spyder Accident

    I don't get it----- Now days I'd be questioning if she was "texting" or what. How can any one coming to an intersection, especially a RED ONE- NOT see a vehicle and person in front of them. Something wrong with her. I mean- she couldn't see a red light? Let alone see you sitting there...
