• 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.

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

    So the battery issue is solved but the display doesn’t work. I took it for a very short ride and none of the gauges work. No mileage shown and the Speedo and tach don’t work either. The shifter also will not shift and it’s stuck in gear. I have checked all the fuses in both locations and all...

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

    Well the old battery failed to fully charge. Installed a new one and it started. Thanks guys for the posts. I thought it was more than a battery problem after listening to the previous owner. So I was excited to see it run. According to Napa it was fully charged but I think that is good advice...

    Thanks Peter. I bought a new battery that I will try tomorrow from Napa. I’m hoping it’s that simple.

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

    I just bought a 2012 Can am Spyder RS. I got it knowing it wouldn’t run. I did some work on it today. Fuses were all good in the front. Lights come on the bike but the instrument panel doesn’t light up. I’m thinking I’ll have to take it to the dealer for diagnostic review but was just wondering...

    Radiator Cleaning 2020RT

    After looking at the price of the Kott grills and seeing they were a hassle to install , I purchased hardware cloth which is basically a screen with larger holes and more rigid than screen. Made some cardboard cutouts and cut the grill guards out and used some small zip ties to hold em in. Easy...

    Running ECO Mode - my MPG results.

    I had a similar situation last week on a trip. Had a long stretch coming across southern Idaho with few gas stations. The fuel light came on and I was thinking I could make it to my destination. It had 50 miles I think and as the range went down the same dashes appeared. Turns out I had just...

    Picking up a used 2019 RLT. Any things to look out for?

    Look underneath at the front. There’s a skid plate ( plastic) to see if it has problems with damage from rocks etc. Clearance is minimal.

    Compressor

    Yea this forum is great and has been very helpful to me. I have used cheapcycleparts and their schematics are great. I’ve put about 3500 miles on it so far and runs and rides fine so my suspension is probably working just as it should. Nice to know it’s got a compressor. Thanks again!

    Compressor

    Thanks Mikey. The schematic is incomplete it only shows 520 530 and 540 numbers. I appreciate your quick response. I’m new to the Spyder and still ignorant of a lot of how it functions etc. I’m riding 2 up and saw in the manual that 70 lbs. pressure is correct. So that’s why I filled the...

    Compressor

    I have a 2019 Spyder RT Limited. I have used the Schroeder valve to pump up air to suspension and was wondering if that model even has a compressor ? The manual is vague on the subject.

    Do you wear boots when riding?

    I’m new to the Spyder but have been an atgatt 2 wheel rider for years and even though the spyder seems much safer I wear over the ankle boots when riding as well as motorcycle pants ,jacket and gloves.

    Tired of the sissy wave by other riders

    I have been riding two wheels for years and have seen the sissy wave a few times. I’m new to Spyders with only about 1500 miles now but I have been surprised by how many two wheelers wave at me. To me it looks like almost as many wave at the spyder as a two wheeler.

    Broken Skid Plate - anyone else attempted replacement?

    Inspection I looked it over. Upper part of frunk is fine as well as fuse boxes. Will have to lift it to check lower bolts but so far so good. And it does look like the skid plate just screws into the bottom of frunk. Thanks for the help and guidance.

    Broken Skid Plate - anyone else attempted replacement?

    Lesson learned I won’t be lifting that way anymore. Will check those areas mentioned. Used the ramps after to change oil and filter. From what I remember it looked like the plastic skid plate screws to the metal frame.

    Broken Skid Plate - anyone else attempted replacement?

    Frunk I’m not positive that nothing else is damaged but I did lift it with a floor jack with a 2x10 under the frunk. I looked around and didn’t see any other damage. I took it for a ride and the front end seemed stable. Any ideas where I should look? I thought I was far enough under to get...

    Broken Skid Plate - anyone else attempted replacement?

    Yes I think it’s a stock plate. It’s plastic and in the middle of the front end (underside). I’m new here and learning. I assume it may attach to the frunk.

    Broken Skid Plate - anyone else attempted replacement?

    I just recently purchased a 2019 Can am Spyder RT Limited and in the process of lifting the front end I broke the skid plate where it attaches to the frame. I have the part ordered and was wondering if anyone else has attempted replacement.
