• 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.

    Once again, BRP didn't show up for Daytona Bike Week!!

    And if those guys buy a trike, it will be a Harley, not a Spyder.

    Once again, BRP didn't show up for Daytona Bike Week!!

    BRP has never really spent any meaningful money on advertising, but then again, when was the last time anyone saw any advertising for ANY motorcycle, be it 2 wheels or 3 wheels? In motorcycle magazines, sure, other manufacturers pitch their machines but not BRP. They don't spend money pitching...

    Short Term Mixing Tire Types: Dangerous?

    I had a Kumho installed at Coyote Powersports, which I assume you are referencing, last May. Total cost was $355.00, and it appears that if you were quoted "close to $300.00", you would be getting a better deal than I got. In answer to your question regarding not changing the front Kendas, I...

    A Note For Peter Aawen

    I use a desktop. It has a big screen. On a good day, I can actually sometimes maybe sorta even work my cell phone. It makes phone calls. It rings. Sometimes I can even answer it if I can get it unlocked, but then I have to remember the unlock code that my wisea** daughter put on it just to mess...

    A Note For Peter Aawen

    Peter, I was wondering if there is any way that pictures posted by forum members can be enlarged by modifying something in the way that they are uploaded. Admittedly, I have no idea if/how this could be done. I find that the pictures, particularly ones such as a bulletin from BRP or something...

    That would be a good question to ask about BRP in general.

    First ride of the season

    Glad you got out! We are looking forward to our first ride in awhile. Haven't gotten out since November, as I had foot and eye surgery in mid December. Today is the first day that I have been able to wear a real shoe instead of an orthopedic one. Progress! Seems as though the eyes are almost...

    Spyderquest 2023 scheduled for September 6-10, in Queensbury NY.

    Sadly, the wife and I are no longer able to attend this great gathering as we now are back living in our home state of Texas after 40 years living in NYC and Connecticut. Having attended in the past, we will sorely miss being there. For those who have never been to this gathering, my advice is...

    What Communication hookup will use the PTT button?

    The PTT is there for the Can Am CB radio, which has had a lot of problems. It is not for any sort of comms between the rider and passenger.

    Is It Just Me?

    Not getting up in arms about anything, if someone chooses not to disclose the year and model of their Spyder or Ryker, that is of course their choice but then no one will be able to help them. So why ask in the first place?

    After your experience with Nissan Versa Note "S"?

    Mike, you might want to take a look at this. But if it has a manual tranny, disregard. https://www.vehiclehistory.com/articles/2014-nissan-versa-transmission-recalls-a-full-overview

    Is It Just Me?

    Or does it seem that the number of folks posting and asking for advice that do not include the year and model of their Spyder is increasing? One would think that this would be a no brainer, yet even with reminders from members and admins, I frequently see new posts where the OP does just that...

    Where are the Customer ACC Circuits? If any on 2017 RTS?

    That would imply rational thinking on BRP's part. :roflblack:

    Need a better place to put Battery Tender lead - Ideas?

    Would help to know what model your Spyder is. On my 2017 RTS, I use the 12V power outlet in the top case. You have to switch the fuse for the outlet from switched to always hot. On my 2017 RTS you move the 5 amp fuse from position 6 to position 7. This fuse is in the Right Fuse Box. The fuse...

    Where are the Customer ACC Circuits? If any on 2017 RTS?

    Nope, looking for a circuit(s) somewhere under the Tupperware. I think the '20 & up RT's have a couple.

    Where are the Customer ACC Circuits? If any on 2017 RTS?

    If there are any customer accessory circuits on a 2017 RTS? And if so, where might I find it/them? A search here did not reveal anything, but I may not have used the correct search terms. Thanks.

    Recommendations wanted - Best cover for 22 RT?

    :agree: I have the same one. It works very well, and is quite durable. I have found it's much easier to put on in daylight. It's hard to sort out in the dark.

    Engineering Idiocy

    I got an Email from Can-Am recently that had a short video about doing an oil change on newer Spyders, so I thought I would watch it. Pretty straightforward about draining the engine oil, and then the transmission oil. THEN, it came to replacing the oil filter, and I was dumbfounded to see that...

    Shaun Smoak video - 1330 sprocket installs begin!! Yeah, right!

    Shaun Smoak video. 18:34 and no sprocket install. But there is info an a BMW, if that floats your boat. I need to become a YouTuber and make some $$. Doesn't seem to be all that hard. All you have to do is talk all the time about anything other than the subject of the video that the title...
