• 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.

    Speedometer inaccuracy

    Good morning all, When I had my 16 RTL I noticed that the speedometer was off by about 2mph at highway speed. I've just traded for a 19 RTL (see photo) and it has the same issue. Am I crazy or have you experienced this also? Is there any corrective action? Thanks for your help. Chris

    Done with Spyder

    I agree completely about dealer incompetence. They are poorly trained on our machines a d they seem to. E grossly understaffed, at least in my area of Ohio. The dealers by me are all owned by the same company with the exception of one and the won't take appointments. They say "just drop it off...

    Taxpayers in Ohio Get Screwed Again

    They also just increased our gas tax, up 10 cents and diesel tax up almost 20 cents as well, but we don't have to have a front license plate any more. Chris

    2018 RT SE 6 Clutch Engagement

    I too have wondered about how long it takes the clutch on my 16 RTL to fully engage. I was wondering if there are any aftermarket clutch kits that can be installed to make them engage faster. The bike will get beat off the line but catch up quickly once it gets going. I believe this is a...

    Parking Brake Fault

    I'm having this issue with my parking brake light staying on solid and when I shut the bike down, it beeps at me like the brake isn't set. The brake is functioning but the light stays on. Is this the problem you're experiencing? If so, where is the switch we should clean located? Thanks for...

    is it ok to wear shorts driving a can am spyder?

    There is a fair amount of absurdity within this post and the replies. I feel like everyone who commented against shorts is a little hypocritical. These responders would lead us to believe that they always, 100% of the time use all of the proper safety gear for any device they would use and...

    Picked up a 2017 RT Limited with 3100 miles this week!

    Braking Tests The brake testing is done to determine the stopping distances for each machine from a starting speed of 60mph, using full ABS brakes applied as in a panic stop. The final figure recorded was the average stopping distance for each machine. Again, as with the acceleration testing...

    2014 Rts Back rest

    I would offer to trade my plug & some cash for the back rest but I think shipping to the US would be cost prohibitive. Chris

    New to Can Am

    It is a different ride, there is no doubt about that. I switched from a goldwing 2 years ago and have never regretted it once. You must remember that it isn't a car and it isn't a "motorcycle". At least not like you're used to riding. Try to go into the decision with an open mind and find...

    What Is A Man?

    I find these videos about manhood offensive. If we must be told by corporations what manhood/masculinity is, then we have truly failed as men. A real man is a provider, protector, husband, father, friend. a real man loves the Lord, his wife and his family. A real man displays self control...

    These LED haedlights make a GIANT difference

    I understand the price thing for standard LED headlights but come on guys! Why not make them standard equipment on the upper models like the limited versions of RT & F3. If you already own one of these machines then you spent a lot of $$ and shouldn't have to upgrade inferior headlights for...

    Child swipes F3

    Is it really that hard to see. The adult rider pulled up the his home or family's home, left the bike running while he ran inside, the child outside playing climbed on the bike and happened to hit the parking brake button allowing the bike to move. Rider came out to stop it but it was too...

    Any suggestions on Keeping Warm?

    How about carhart stuff, not motorcycle gear, but built for extreme out door construction work. I ride in cold weather until the salt goes down. That happened a few weeks ago but last year i rode until the 3rd week of December with temps down into the 20's wearing carhart stuff. Bibb...

    Waaay OT: Home Heating System Question

    In addition, of the water in the boiler is already hot, then when the thermostat calls for heat the pump will come on circulate water until it has lost its heat, then the boiler will come on.

    Waaay OT: Home Heating System Question

    For the most part the guys so far are correct however in my area 98% of residential hot water boilers use a connection to the domestic water line for water supply and generally maintain a pressure of 10-15PSI in the system. they don't use any kind of antifreeze or rust inhibitor. That being...

    Best sounding muffler

    With the triple engine they all sound like tuner cars or the teenager who throws a coffee can exhaust on his civic to sound cool. I prefer the quite of my RTL but do wish it looked better as I don't really care for the black with chrome heat covers of the stock unit, it just looks cheap. That...
