• 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.

    It's Becoming Clear To Me...

    Running Out of Fuel I have the 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-S in Magnesium Silver. Admittedly, I bought mine preowned last September, with 22,000 miles on it. The one and only problem it's had to date, (since my ownership) was that it's multifunction display went out. And that was, a major expense to...

    Who cares how much money you spent

    How Much Money? I traded off a 2006 Harley Davidson Ultra Class Peace Officer Edition, for a 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-S. With not a single regret. The Harley was just becoming too cumbersome for two up riding through stop and go traffic, construction zones, parking lots, etc. And the Spyder is...

    Bikes We'd like to Return I had three BSA's when I was just beginning my two wheeled adventure. The '69 BSA 250 Starfire, and two '71 BSA 650 Lightning's. Tried riding that BSA 441 Victor, but always ended up with a black and blue leg. Something about using the compression release lever at...

    Sooooo I did a demo ryde last Saturday

    To Keep or Not to Keep My wife and I had a 2006 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic Peace Officer Edition. I liked it for the short time I rode it, but eventually it became too much to handle with two up riding. Too heavy and cumbersome for negotiating parking lots, gravel roads, construction, and...

    Satellite Radio Not Showing On Info Screen After Can Am Bluetooth Dongle Installed

    BRP Bluetooth Dongle I have a 2012 RT-S. Went to the Can Am website, and even the local dealership inquiring about the bluetooth dongle. But was told that it was for, and would not work on any earlier models than the 2014. I take it, there is only one model of the bluetooth dongle?

    Harley boys......

    Long or Short Legs The important aspect to consider when riding a motorycle of any size, is whether you can plant both feet flat on the pavement when coming to a stop. If one's legs are too short, then this will be problematic and your stability will be affected while waiting for the light to...

    Chrome auto body tape?

    Chrome Auto Body Tape I came across a 1990's era Firebird with the six cylinder engine. In order to spice it up, the owner had added chrome auto tape to the black exterior door handles, and to the rocker panels. The car looked as tacky as can be imagined. But perhaps your Spyder will be an...

    The search is almost over....

    Spyder RT choices I have, a 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-S. It came with the electrically heated rider and passenger hand grips. The multifunction display went out and had to be replaced, but I'd not say that was unique to the 2012 Spyder. My Spyder came with the stock seat without a backrest, so we...

    # of miles on my 2014RTS-SE6

    Mileage I have a 2012 (Magnesium Silver) Can Am Spyder RT-S, which just went over 23,000 miles. The multifunction display gave out a few weeks ago, but with a veteran's discount the part and labor only came to $962. Fortunately, the loss of a multifunction display is not a routine event on a...

    Wilber is in the Building !

    Relating I guess I can relate or emphasize with you. I had surgery on a sigmoid volvulus (twisted colon), and was a week in the hospital. Never knew there could be so many varieties of broth on a soft diet following surgery. So now with an abdomen full of sparkly staples, I find it a bit...

    Murphybrown's Spyder Adventures 2017

    What and How Much To Take When I mentioned to a friend and avid BMW enthusiast, about the wife wanting a trailer for the Spyder as the four compartments on a Spyder weren't enough storage capacity, he remarked, would't you really rather have a Buick? He and his wife rode two weeks on a BMW...
