• 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.

    Does anyone use their Spyder 12v Dock for plugging in heated gear?

    How many amps (or watts) is your heated gear?

    Where besides dealers do you get tires mounted and balanced?

    Well, my rear wheel has three weights on it.

    Where besides dealers do you get tires mounted and balanced?

    I pulled the rear wheel on my 2014 RSS. My local tire shop says they can install a new tire but can't balance because the center hole is too small. The nearest Can Am dealer is 2 hours away. Others have reported that tire shops can do it. What shops specifically?

    2014 Can Am Spyder RSS SE5 project

    The project is coming together. The OEM horn was missing. I installed new dual tone horns, which I much prefer over the single stock horn. The one to the left is in the OEM position. I bent the mounting strip of the other one into an L shape and secured it to the storage bin. It took a bit of...

    2014 Can Am Spyder RSS SE5 project

    Parts are being delivered; some new, mostly used. Still waiting on two critical pieces, the storage bin and the front frame. $69 for a license plate light? $11 for a "universal" light on Amazon plus a fabricated plastic mount - no holes were drilled in the original fender.

    MY '21/'22 Production Ryker Fuel pump recall; + some '19-'24 replacements!

    The six digit stamped number is the serial number, per the tech with whom I spoke.

    If you're riding at twice the limit for corners, stability control could be kicking in completely normal as designed.

    I understand that they're being a stickler about the tire, but that would have nothing to do with a bad SAS. Leave the tire as is, consider it a nice diversion ride, take it in and have them check (might as well check the yaw sensor as well).

    Nope. Clean title. Damage was all cosmetic; runs and drives fine as is.

    I understand it's a trip for you, but it might pay to go back to your dealer, have them hook up BUDS, and read the SAS angle to see if it has strayed off zero.

    Is there any place that sells Used parts for Spyders? Salvage yards/junkyards maybe?

    I've been having good luck finding parts for my 2014 RSS project by looking up parts on this web site to get part numbers: https://can-am-shop.brp.com/on-road/us/en/shop/sales/parts/?aribrand=CAN_ONR_EN_US_USD#/s/CAN%7C~ONR%7C~EN%7C~US%7C~USD/RSS///1/y I copy and paste the part numbers into...

    2014 Can Am Spyder RSS SE5 project

    I picked up a new project yesterday - a 2014 Can Am Spyder RSS SE5. As you can see from the photo, the whole front end is missing. The owner's father ran into the back of a car and smashed the plastics. Aside from the missing front trunk, pretty much everything else missing are cosmetic plastic...

    Is there any place that sells Used parts for Spyders? Salvage yards/junkyards maybe?

    This is a good suggestion. There are motorcycle salvage yards that sell parts, but unfortunately Can Am parts are hard to find. Turns out there is a dealer near me, Sun Coast Cycle Sports, that does carry some parts.

    Ryker turning left Issues

    In my case, the SAS was bad and would not hold a reset (actually a rezero). That is, I would zero it, ride, then it would be off by about 5 degrees. When they reset the SAS, they would have seen what the reading was before rezroing it. If it was at or near zero, the SAS is likely OK, but if it...

    Pedal Commander video on Banks power

    Pedal Commander increases (or decreases) twist grip sensitivity, it does not increase throttle response. Throttle response is a measure of how quickly a vehicle's engine can increase its power output in response to a driver's request for acceleration. Or, as Pedal Commander puts it on their...

    Discussing Throttle-by-wire, throttle response, and Pedal Commander 'improvements'

    No, it’s not a rose by another name. It is throttle response (time) versus input sensitivity (effort or distance) and they are entirely different things, not different names for the same thing. And often confused. First, addressing semantics, I have been careful and precise in my use of my...

    Coolant Change - how's it done on a Ryker?

    If you do what is in the manual, and if I recall correctly, the radiator then just snaps loose, and you can tip it to drain the radiator.

    Is there a way to get more punch off the line?

    If you're interested, I've recently made some measurements of twist grip action vs butterfly opening on my Ryker: https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?157594-Discussing-Throttle-by-wire-throttle-response-and-Pedal-Commander-improvements The data shows that without Pedal Commander...
