• 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.

    Highway Stability

    With or without the new swaybar (I have one), the Spyder is as or more stable in wind than any bike I've owned. Although any 1000 lb vehicle is more susceptible to crosswinds than a 6000 lb SUV, I've never felt in danger when tractor trailers or cross winds are around. I've sometimes been...

    The first 3 accessories....

    Driver’s backrest, passenger armrests, auxiliary lights, Providence RAM ball mount for handlebar so I can carry a cup of coffee. 6” lightning cable for my iPhone in the glovebox, Hopnel dashboard bag so I have a place to store my glasses, and I moved my old Hopnel saddlebag and trunk bags from...

    Short reach bars on 2020+ RT

    I bought a used short reach handlebar, just finished the installation. My objective is to be forced to sit more upright hoping it will ease some back pain I have on long rides. (Yes, I have a backrest) First thing I noted was they make it harder to mount the bike because the handlebars are...

    Spring in throttle housing

    I just changed handlebars on my 2020 RT - easy and successful, except that my throttle no longer returns to the full idle position. When I release it, the bike idles at around 1200-1300 RPM. I can force it to idle position, but it snaps back to around 1250 RPM when I release the throttle. I...

    BRP Connect, a current status

    Very interesting - If I don't connect with the USB cable, the music ACTS like it's playing (it shows the track and gives me volume control), but no sound comes out of the speakers despite where I set the phone and bike volume. When I connect with Bluetooth AND USB it behaves as you would expect.

    BRP Connect, a current status

    I am also an engineer - and have spent my life in software design and development. Even with that background BRP Connect threw me for a loop for a bit. I have an iPhone instead of an Android phone, and I don't have a standalone GPS. My observations: - When you first start up the bike, you...

    cigarette lighter

    Kuryakyn makes one I had on my Honda, power outlet WITH a cigarette lighter built. It's meant for a handlebar mount, so you might have to be creative. https://www.kuryakyn.com/products/2098/electrical-power-point

    Spyder RT Seat Replacement Options

    LOTS of information on this forum about seating. I hated the stock seat on my 2014 and replaced it with an Ultimate seat. Some options: 1 - Get an AirHawk cushion. Less than $100, distributes the load from your butt, adjustable. If it works you’ve saved $1000. 2 - Consider an Ultimate seat...

    rear turn signal bulb access

    I don’t know if you can actually get to the LED bulbs themselves, but you can get to the lighting assembly. However, it is a real pain. - Remove the passenger seat - Remove the trunk - Open the saddlebags - Remove the black plastic piece that goes from the top of the saddlebags the rear. LOTS...

    Wanting my first spyder

    I wouldn’t sweat a lot about accessories until your buy and ride for a bit, and I agree you won’t feel much difference in the 2014-2019. Now let me contradict myself my telling your about accessories that I LOVE. Seat - I hated my 2014 stock seat and replaced it with an Ultimate seat. To me...

    Short reach bars on 2020+ RT

    Please help - I can’t find these handlebars listed on the Can-Am Spyder Accessories catalog or website. Where are you finding these? Are these longer handlebars to bring them closer to the rider? I’ve having some mild upper back pain and I don’t know if it’s from the position the stock...

    2020 RT Safety Recall. Not everyone is affected.

    Aaaargh! I posted previously that I wasn’t affected, but this morning my VIN showed that I’m included. Oh well.

    2020 RT Safety Recall. Not everyone is affected.

    I just put in my VIN and I’m not part of the recall. I bought my 2020 about a month ago. So far the only item not working as it should is my outside temperature sensor, it consistently reads 5-10 degrees above the actual temperature. I can live with this one until I take the bike in for the...

    Tupperware on 2020

    I also bought the ShowChrome harness, but I bought the one for the F3. The F3 uses the same light connectors as the 2020 RT.

    BRP Connect & GPS Apps

    That was my finding as well, and it’s a bit of a pain to fix. The only solution I found was to get the GPS to guide me somewhere, anticipate when it would make an announcement, and hit the volume button when I saw it happening. Timing is everything.

    Yes, Genus maps does exactly that.

    Tupperware on 2020

    I downloaded the manual and removed enough to install the ShowChrome trailer hitch wiring harness. VEEEERY different than the old tupperware. Older Spyders can be almost taken apart with a single star driver and a 10mm socket. New spyder requires multiple stars and sockets, box end wrenches...

    2020 RT Sway Bar

    I hadn't planned on installing one on my 2020 like I did on my 2014, but I changed my mind. For lack of a more accurate description, the 2020 felt "squishier" than my 2014 around corners, particularly with my daughter on back. Installation on the 2020 was easier than the 2014 or 2010, you can...
