• 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.

    Is there a Sport Mode for 2020+ RT's?

    Neither my 2018 RTL nor my 2021 RT had Sport mode. Not saying the 2022s don't have it but since the '22s are identical to the '21s (other than some color changes), I highly doubt it. As others have said, BRP is sort of famous for copying/pasting parts of 1 owners manual into another. If you want...

    Handlebar riser for 2016 Spyder RTS - does it exist?

    Unfortunately, no. The only handlebar option for the 2019 and old RTs are the Tri Axis bars. Those are about $600 and the installation is very labor intensive. I've heard labor costs anywhere from $600 to over $1k as you have to completely remove everything from the seat forward (if I remember...

    2023 Mustang

    The new S650 is actually the 2024 model, not 2023. I'm not a Mustang fanboy (although some of them are nice) but I watched the unveiling last night. The unveiling was boring but other than the dash, I don't see it as more of an evolution rather than a revolution.

    Need decent storage - F3S & roll my own luggage, or F3T?

    The Limited and the S are 2 very different beasts. The base and S don't have ANY bags, smaller (or non existent) windscreens, sportier but less "comfy" seats and no cruise control (at least on the base model....I don't know about the S). The T and the L (Limited) are very similar to each other...

    When and where was the first time you rode a Can-Am tryke ??

    Peru, Indiana about 2013 or 2014. It was a blue RTL and I fell in love. On my test ride, it started to rain. I thought, this sux. Then it started to hail. I thought, I'd better stop so I don't go down (hail = ice). Ended up riding back to the shop with zero issues. Decided right then that I...

    First multi day trip with the wife riding her own spyder!

    If you think you'll have time, give me a shout to see if I'm about when you ride past me. I'd like to say 'hi'.

    Having trouble getting 2020 RT Rear seat to click in - any fixes?

    You can't get the tabs in the slots or you can't get them to "snap" into place? If it's the latter, it SHOULD stay down on it's own. My '21 RT wouldn't snap into place but I never lost it although to be fair, I had a backrest installed.

    Bro, there's "tall" then there's Chewbacca tall. (You're the latter. :) ) Nice write up.

    Fobo TPMS reads wrong - Is there a recalibration?

    TBH, the FOBO 2 is only a guide. Mine was off by a couple of pounds but I knew it so when I looked at my phone, I just added a couple of pounds (or subtracted, whichever it was). I was more concerned that I would run over a nail and wanted to know if I was losing pressure fast.

    Anyone buy the back trunk for a 2021 RT Base model?

Turned out really nice and for a LOT less $$ than the OEM top case. There have been a few others...

    Found a 2021 RT LTD Chrome in NJ with 700 miles 30K Firm at the dealer

    I read an article online somewhere the other day (w/a pic to back up the claim) where a Ford dealer was charging a $70k market adjustment on a new F-150 Lightning (or whatever the EV is called). That's almost double the MSRP. I don't need ANYTHING enough to pay double.

    Blue Ridge Parkway 2021

    The only current closures in NC I'm aware of are Alligator Back to Bamboo Gap (just south of the VA state line) and Beech Gap to Balsam (about 40 miles north of the TN state line). I think the 421 to Blowing Gap closure was temporary. The BRP is pretty good about detours.

    What size Oetiker Clamp is needed on lower Radiator hoses?

    I don't know what size you need but Lowe's seems to carry them, too. Lowe's lists them as Sharkbite PEX clamps but they seem to be the same. Looks like 5 bucks for 10 or 10 bucks for 25.

    2014 - 17 RT limited or 2018 RT base which to choose? And why? Help appreciated

    My 1st Spyder was a 2018 RT Limited. I wasn't even aware 2018 offered a base model RT.

    Found a 2021 RT LTD Chrome in NJ with 700 miles 30K Firm at the dealer

    If it were me, I'd scout out a barely used 2021 model instead. There are some good deals to be found out there. This doesn't seem to be one of them.

    Does this tire look bad

    I'd say you're good for another 30-40k miles. Just make sure you ONLY ride on the edges of the tire. No sense wasting perfectly good sides. If you're fat enough and can lean far enough over, I think you can do it. I've got confidence in ya! You can do it!

    “Mini-Carport” shelter for outdoor Spyder storage - what's available?

    I had a 12x12 ShelterLogic. Fit my RT perfectly with plenty of room to tinker on it, load it up for a trip, etc. About $400 MSRP although you can probably find one on sale for less. I would have kept it but I've got crappy neighbors (long story). I bolted it to my concrete pad. Woodaddict and I...

    Where can I find an Antenna Hole Cover/Cap (2016 Spyder RT-S)?

    I removed my antenna on my "old" '18 RTL. I bought a hole cap for the side that normally doesn't have an antenna and ever so slightly modified it (a little trimming here and there) and used caulk to seal it to the bike. It looked factory. Can Am Spyder Accessories (aka CASA, aka the Canadian guy...

    Stuck in 1st gear & won't start - any ideas?

    If you're stuck in 1st gear, press on the brake whilst trying to start. It's a built in safety feature.
