• 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.

    Do you own another motorcycle besides your Spyder?

    I got my first spyder about 5 years ago after my gf wrecked her roadking and couldn’t ride. Being older I decided on a Spyder to tote her around. I considered a 2 wheeler like the bmw rt but decided the Spyder would work better 2 up. So I like the Spyder RTL but still have some other bikes. I...

    Just finished installing my new Spyderpops KOTT Grille.

    I ended up putting in extra screens as well on the 23 RTL. I had a 19 RTL that I bought used that had no extra screen and it ran hot. It’s really hard to get all the bugs out of the radiators when plugged. The 23 runs much cooler and I attribute that to cleaner radiators.

    2023 RT exhaust sounds tinny - is this normal?

    Our 2023 RT L sounds a lot like the 2019 RT L did. I wouldn’t call it tinny. It’s not loud and I like it that way.

    Trailering cover 2020 RTL…what do you use?

    My girlfriend just bought a trailering cover for our 2023 Spyder RT Limited. The plan was not to use for trailering the thing but just to cover it. She was going to put it on the other day but after reading the instructions decided to wait till winter. It fits really tight and would be a process...

    Dragon or Rattler?

    Lolo pass is one of my favorite rides. Haven’t done it in the Spyder yet but it’s just a matter of time before I do it. 100 miles of sweepers and in very beautiful country.

    First Service & Dealer says Stripped out drain plug! New dealer time!

    I agree it’s a bad idea to have 2 different types of drain plugs and I had the same problem when I changed oil in my 2019 Spyder. There’s also some misinformation about what wrench to use on the drain plugs.

    What Lithium battery do you recommend?

    I put an Antigravity lithium battery in my Ktm and have been happy with it so far. When our new 23 Canam Spyder RT needs one it will be a lithium. From what I’ve heard is that they will last longer than a lead acid battery and the cost has come down on them.

    Should I add Balance beads - Or just wing it? yes/no?

    I’m a believer in balance beads and have used them for about the past 10 years in several different motorcycles. Haven’t used them in any of the canam spyder s yet but probably will after a tire change. Did not put them in my latest KTM Superduke cuz it has tpms in the tires and was afraid it...

    Do Passenger armrests lock in place for ryding?

    Just for clarification, armrests are different from each other depending on the models' year. We just traded our 2019 RTL in on a 2023 RTL. The armrests on the '19 didn’t swing out, only up. The armrests that fit the '23 are different and those made for the '19 will not fit the '23. The armrests...

    2012 Spyder RS won't run, dash doesn't light up - any ideas?

    Well I sold the roadster yesterday, so that concludes my project. Traded in the 2019 can am spyder rt for a new 2023 Spyder RT Limited. A red and black one. The new one will be much easier to do oil changes and service and it seems a bit more comfortable than the 2019.

    2012 Spyder RS won't run, dash doesn't light up - any ideas?

    Update on the 2012 Spyder roadster. Shop called with the diagnosis. It goes as follows the main relay #2 was in the wrong place which after moving it , allowed the front screen to come on and the paddle shifter to operate. So a rather simple solution. Mileage was 4597. So thanks to all...

    2012 Spyder RS won't run, dash doesn't light up - any ideas?

    I tried pulling the front screen off yesterday. According to the manual there are a couple spots to insert a screwdriver and pry it off on the top of screen. The way the top where the safety card resides hangs over the screen and nowhere to insert a screwdriver. I pried it from the side and was...

    2012 Spyder RS won't run, dash doesn't light up - any ideas?

    The previous owner had said that one day it just wouldn’t start. He was not very mechanically inclined. He said it was a 3 cylinder engine when it is in fact a v- twin. So there was not much help in what the problem may be.
