• 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.

    QUESTIONS ABOUT THE X-GRIP OR CELLPHONE HOLDER

    X-Grip I have the 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-S. Because I rely on gps, but needed an "inexpensive" one with bluetooth, and Google maps, I obtained a small x-grip. There's a 1" ball ram mount secured by the two screws near the ignition with a long arm. The x-grip holds the phone without any issue. I...

    Looking at an RT

    RT-SE6 My wife and I traded in an '05 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic for a 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-S. Both of us are now in our 60's, and this Spyder was a means of getting into the Spyder community, and we have, no regrets. The RT-S has the semi-automatic transmission, 998cc, two cylinder...

    Spyder Issue

    I just wanted to provide an update here. As mentioned earlier, the display remained dark, the bike would start but not shift into gear. All the warning lights were flashing on the speedometer and tachometer. The normal, head, fog, tail, brake lights worked. The windshield was inoperative. As a...

    A lot to learn. Thinking about shopping for a Spyder.

    A Lot to Learn You belong here as much as anyone else riding a Spyder of any kind, or a person or couple looking to buy one. I started riding when I was 15 on a 1957 Lambretta 150cc two cycle scooter purchased from my brother in law for $30. Nearly 17 motorcycles, and 49 years later, my wife...

    Airhawk

    Spyder Seat I've never heard of an Airhawk seat, but I just purchased a Corbin electrically heated seat, with a backrest and fuel door. This is for the 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-SE5 that we ride. One is able to choose the colors, style, stitching, color of logo, and welt. The BRP comfort seat as...

    Fuel Tank Swap

    Additional Fuel Don't forget, there's also a product you can buy called, "Magic Tank". It's a container of non flammable fuel that can be kept in a saddlebag. Minimum container would be a half liter, but having it on hand, is considerably better than running out of gas and having to walk to...

    Computer reset on startup

    Display Resetting Itself I have a 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-S with just over 23,000 miles. On a recent ride, the display would go dark, then come back on again as though it was rebooting itself. This must have happened six or seven times before I arrived at my destination. I parked the bike, went...

    Does anyone have Heated Comfort Seat Installation Instructions they can share?

    Electrically Heated Seat I have a 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-SE5. Unfortunately for me, the heated comfort seat sold by BRP cannot be used for Spyders older than 2014. I asked the local dealer's service department. So I had to custom order an electrically heated seat from Corbin with a back rest...

    Want to purchase!

    Possible RT Purchase My wife and I had a 2005 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic Peace Officer Edition. We traded that for a 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-SE5. Had we the money, we'd have purchased a 2014 or newer RT Limited in a metallic red. Why? Because from 2014 on, the Spyder's have a three cylinder...

    **** "DO'S & DO NOTS" for NEW SPYDER OWNERS... ****

    I'm not sure what, or where my problem lies. The 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-S I own, has a display that went dark. The bike can be turned on, but cannot be shifted into any gear. All others things, signals, head, fog, and tail lights work. The fuses are good, the one battery terminal I can get to...

    Looking at an RT

    Choices My wife and I purchased a preowned 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-SE5. We dispensed with a 2005 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic Peace Officer Edition to obtain it. No stability issues, more luggage capacity. And we've not a single regret. We'll accessorize it bit by bit to personalize it, but the...

    Spyder Issue

    Malfunctioning Spyder It was purchased preowned last September. One of the first things to freeze up on it was the fuel, and temperature gauges. So those issues were repaired, but I don't recall that the display had given out. And it could be started.

    Middle Dash switch

    This is a middle "switch" that fits into the empty space between the rest of the switches of thr RT. It's called a carchet car and is available from J.T's. Spyder Store. I currently have one mounted on my 2012 Can Am Spyder RT-SE5. It looks like OEM, and provides two USB jacks.

    Bluetooth Iphone to audio system

    Bluetooth Iphone Just wanted to add my two cents. I have an fm radio transmitter, ($21) obtained from Lamonster Garage. And I have the 3.5mm cable obtained from BRP connecting the transmitter to the bike's audio system in the trunk. In my case, I have the radio tuned to AUX, and the iphone...

    Any 2018 Rumors yet?

    Engine Displacements I'm not sure how it would look or perform on a Spyder. BMW has the K1600GTL Exclusive, but it's engine configuration may not be suitable for the Spyder. And if you're not happy with the smaller 1800cc, six cylinder opposed, Gold Wing engine, there's always the engine from...
