• 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.

    2018 RTL - looking for battery upgrade and replacement suggestions?

    I am looking at replacing the battery on my 2018 RTL soon. Looking for suggestions on what battery to get; I am not ready for a lithium but wonder if there are any other upgrades over the original? Also is it difficult to get at the battery? I looked online and couldn't find any how to videos...

    What experiences have you had with Lithium Batteries?

    I wouldn't be riding it in the cold weather, just storing it. Or will that still do damage?

    What experiences have you had with Lithium Batteries?

    Thinking about getting a lithium battery for my 2018 Spyder RTL. Has anyone had experience storing it in a cold climate? I contacted NOCO (the battery jetfixer bought) and they said: The storage and operating recommended temperatures for our batteries are -4F to 140F/-20C to 60C. I find it hard...

    Thanks A Lot, Can-Am!!

    I feel your pain! I have an 18 Spyder that was just a little too much since I am older I don't do as many long rides. I tried out a Ryker and bought it that day! After riding it for a month straight I decided to jump back on the Spyder before selling it. I forgot how smooth and convenient it is...

    Looks like it's time to give up the ride - thoughts fm others who've faced this?

    Totally agree with this, just one thing to add. Not sure what a 2014 is worth, but whatever it is, is it worth that much to keep it? It might be a nice change of pace from your newfound passion.

    Video of 2024 touchscreen

    If you watch the video in the first minute they explain that Android decided that they didn't want their system available on cycles (must be a safety concern.) I highly doubt that the BRP Spyders is a big enough market for Apple to throw any money their way :)

    Video of 2024 touchscreen

    Surprised at the somewhat negative comments considering all the complaints about BRP GO. I think they are going in the right direction, but I agree certainly not a game changer - at least not enough to upgrade! At least it can upgrade without going to a dealer.

    Is AccuWeather on BRP Go?

    Same thing. It shows up in compatible apps and has an option to download, but I already have it! Even tried deleting and reinstalling with no luck.

    Does anyone own a Spyder AND a Ryker?

    Your comparisons were right on! I have an 18 RTL Spyder I bought for touring. Unfortunately 2 of my destinations passed away and I found the Spyder just too much for short rides. I bought a 2021 Ryker Rally and just loved it! Perfect for short rides and back roads, but no storage, or stereo...

    Red Dust of Death Recall???? Front Sprocket Recall - FINALLY....

    I gave up last year on taking the Spyder in for sprocket recall because it sounded like they had no idea what they are doing! My appointment this year was today, for the heck of it I thought I would call first to make sure the new sprocket was in, because I have a long drive. Well, they checked...

    Your First One....

    I had a 75 Suzuki GT380. Cool bike at the time, I was very proud of the digital gear readout! Unfortunately the first ride home included a very long push; although I was young and knew everything - I never knew motorcycles had a reserve tank!

    Anyone else a loner and not a group rider?

    I need to find friends like you! I feel the exact same way.

    Anyone else a loner and not a group rider?

    Sounds good to me! I am always known for taking "longcuts" and that isn't always appreciated. And unless I am really in a hurry I won't take freeways because they are just too boring of a ride and rarely scenic (at least where I live) and my friends think that is crazy!

    Anyone else a loner and not a group rider?

    Love this topic because I thought I was the only one! Never enjoyed riding in a group because there was usually a destination, and I would see a scenic road or an area I have never been before and always wanted to turn off and investigate. I guess for me it is more the ride than the destination...

    What’s your best memory/story (so far) with your Spyder/Ryker ??

    I read a lot of these tips before I got my spyder, but swithcing over to 3 wheels after riding 2 takes some time! And as far as the snowmobile goes I have never driven one.

    What’s your best memory/story (so far) with your Spyder/Ryker ??

    Great thread! I started out wondering if I made a mistake going with 3 wheels since the bike was so twitchy and it felt like learning how to ride all over again. I was constantly thinking and overthinking every turn and corner and really not enjoying the ride. It was around the 500 mile mark on...

    Maybe they did! They keep coming back :2thumbs:

    Just rode my new 2022 RT home - got a lot to learn!

    :congrats: Yes, there definitely is a learning curve but keep a loose grip and take your time and soon you will be wondering what the problem was ;)

    How do you get GPS directions to come over RTL Speakers?

    Exactly! It can be a pain in the ass to catch it at just the right time, but it is nice to have 2 separate volumes.
