• 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 did you do to your Spyder today?

    I was surprised when I read that as well elsewhere. The support works on the F3T & Limited but not the S? Doesn’t make sense to me either but I guess they are different enough that the support won’t work across all F3 models.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Nice to see someone else using the Big Blue lift. I just received mine last week and assembled it this weekend. Just waiting on my Elka shocks to arrive before putting it to use.

    2024 Models Are On the Can-Am Site

    I like the addition of CarPlay and LED lights to the F3 line-up. I did notice that while they're adding the backrest to both the F3 Limited Special Series and the RT Limited Sea to Sky, the F3 Limited Special Series no longer comes with foglights standard. Overall okay'ish upgrades but nothing...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Thanks. I’ll order a jug of that. I ordered these from Amazon: Matte Paint Car Detail Spray - No Gloss Wipe Down Car Cleaner - 22 oz https://a.co/d/j7kA9j0 Flitz FM 11506 Flat Matte Finish Cleaner, 16 oz. Spray Bottle , Black https://a.co/d/2NSGTx0 I’ve only used the Flitz so far.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    What are you using to clean the matte finish? I ended up ordering a couple of different matte paint cleaners from Amazon. I’ve only tried one of them so far and while it definitely removed the little bit of dirt on the panels, it didn’t seem to do anything more. Maybe that’s by design. I may be...

    Is there a reason people seemingly don't research correct prices?

    I spent about 2 months looking at new and used Spyders (multiple models) before deciding to buy new last month. I was going to buy used but like you, seeing used prices within a few thousand of a brand new unit had me questioning why would anyone buy used. I went new mainly for the fresh...

    Got a PedalBox, getting VSS Fault & Limp Mode msg - any ideas/fixes?

    PedalBox has a Pro version (the one I bought) that uses a bluetooth controller instead of a wired one as well as an iPhone/Android app. The programming was just doing a few full throttle twists so it could learn the full travel of my throttle. It was fairly easy to install and setup. I doubt...

    Need help / advice. Buying a Spyder out of town (3000 miles away) with lien.

    I've personally sold two motorcycles that I still had loans on (private buyers, not trade-ins). In both instances, I put the potential buyers in touch directly with the lender and let them work out the details for wiring the pay-off directly to the lender (I was selling them for the pay-off...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Just got home from the dealer. Had the oil changed after 700+ miles since I didn’t feel comfortable waiting for the 3000 mile break-in to change it. They also installed my Baja Ron ultimate sway bar and end links. Wow! Folks weren’t kidding when they all said to install a beefier sway bar. I...

    Got a PedalBox, getting VSS Fault & Limp Mode msg - any ideas/fixes?

    I have mine set in Sport mode since for me, it strikes the right balance of responsiveness without being overly sensitive. I did a short test ride after installing it and found Sport+ mode too sensitive. Little movements were greatly amplified, creating a bucking bronco effect for me. I’m sure...

    Got a PedalBox, getting VSS Fault & Limp Mode msg - any ideas/fixes?

    I’m experiencing the same issue although I just installed mine last weekend on a new, 2023 F3 Limited. It doesn’t happen while riding and it’s only happened twice. Both times on initial startup. Both times I just turned my bike back off and waited a few seconds before restarting. If it gets more...

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

    True but Sygic does require a subscription and Genius Maps requires what appears to be a one time purchase depending on features. I already had my Garmin from my previous bike. Since I have an RPM membership, Rever's Pro subscription is free for me but I really hated using their app. I find my...

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

    As I posted in a similar thread I really wanted to like the BRP Go app but I found the compatible GPS apps lacking. Now that I’ve wired up my Garmin Zumo XT, I find connecting my iPhone via bluetooth to be sufficient. I can plug in my iPhone to charge while it’s in the glove compartment and...

    When and where was the first time you rode a Can-Am tryke ??

    My first time was over the 4th of July weekend this year when I rented an F3-S for a week. I was considering making the move from 2 wheels to 3 and decided renting one was a good idea. I wanted to see if I could tolerate commuting on one (I live in California and am used to being able to filter...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I’ve been looking at wrapmyspyder and a few faux carbon fiber items have caught my eye but nothing that I’m ready to pick up yet. It’ll probably be a while before I start looking at changing/adding anything cosmetic. I like the matte mineral blue color and I’m enjoying it while I can. :)...

    What are the Side bag capacities please?

    If you download the owner's manuals from Can-Am's website, the technical specifications section has the bag capacities. I don't have the RT manual but the RT side cases are larger than the F3-T/Limited side cases. For my F3 Limited the right bag is 26 liters and the left bag is 24 liters. The...

    Anyone using the updated BRP GO app?

    I tried the BRP Go app and really wanted to like it but…none of the compatible GPS apps were as easy to use as Apple/Google Maps nor my Garmin. For music from my iPhone, I find the bluetooth connection alone sufficient. Now that I’ve wired up power for my Garmin I doubt I’ll use the BRP Go app...

    Folks using the PedalBox Pro, where do you keep your bluetooth controller?

    I thought about just leaving it in there but I’m a little leery about leaving anything in the glove box when I’m away from the bike.

    Folks using the PedalBox Pro, where do you keep your bluetooth controller?

    Do you stash it somewhere on the bike, keep it with you like on a keychain, permanently mount it somewhere, or use some kind of RAM mount for the holder? I was going to mount it on a RAM mount but I haven’t been able to find anything on Amazon to screw the holder to. I’m thinking about keeping...
