• 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 "not less than" for RPMs on the SE6?

    I am new to the SE6, coming from a 2010 SM5. With the 998 there was caution not to 'lug' the engine with RPMs too low. On my new 2019 RT I shifted the SE6 about 3500 during this break-in period. Is it possible to have the RPMs too low for any of the gears? Trying to understand how this SE6...

    How can I upload a signature image?

    I want to change my signature picture to my new Spyder. I did a search and didnt find an answer... When I try to "insert image" it will only let me use the URL upload, not the "from computer" option. I don't know how to use a URL... I changed my avatar using the "from computer" option. What...

    Tips for riding the 2019 SE6 compared to my 2010 RT SM5

    We are planning on taking on the Head of the Dragon, the Claw, the Back, the Tail... and any other parts we can find! The mileage will be helpful here... and thanks to all you experienced Ryders with the good tips. Jim

    Tips for riding the 2019 SE6 compared to my 2010 RT SM5

    Thanks for the excellent tips about the shifting. Next question - what can I expect my mileage range to be for trips? it's usually different than the standard given by the manufacturers. 130 miles on a tank? 200? My 2010 was pretty thirsty on trips. Thanks. Jim

    Tips for riding the 2019 SE6 compared to my 2010 RT SM5

    It will seem odd to shift at 3000-3500... I shifted my 998 at about 4200-4500. JayBros - when you say, "Hold the throttle steady as you shift up and down" at what RPM do I start and hold for first gear... 3000? So it's unlike my manual that I let out the clutch and slowly open the throttle? I...

    Tips for riding the 2019 SE6 compared to my 2010 RT SM5

    Sold my 2010 and I'm curious about the technique in riding the SE6. I'm used to the manual/clutch. The SE6 paddle will be new to me. I appreciate you experienced riders giving me a few tips before I pick up the bike on Wednesday the 29th. Thanks - Jim

    Update on this issue - I rode the bike and the DPS didn't show again. Since it is going on 11 years old, we decided to look for a newer ride. Found new 2019 with BRP rebate. Trade value of my 2010 was 5200. Personal sale netted 8000. Picking up our new ride on Wednesday. New owners of my...

    My wiring is actual a 5-pin flat for my Bunkhouse camper.

    Does anyone know if the BRP hitch on my 2010 RT...

    ... will fit on the (NEW) 2019 RT Limited we are considering to buy? Hate to spend another bunch of $$$ for another hitch. What about removal? Can a reasonably competent handy guy remove the hitch and get the belt and tire back where it needs to be? Trying to save some $$$ again. Thanks - Jim

    But won't the bike go into LIMP MODE if it throws a DPS error?

    a repair shop 50-60 miles away when I got a DPS error? It happened on a trip - DPS error and Limp Mode. I stopped at a gas station, removed the key, called the rest of my rider friends to tell them, put the key back in, started it and - NO ERROR FLASHES, NO CODES, ran fine. Headed 40 miles...

    Need to Find 2010 Multifunction Gauge error lights diagram

    Thanks Peter for the details. I am thinking I need to trade this 2010 for one of the "new" 2019s. There are a couple in my area here. SInce the bike is going to be 11 years old I don't want to keep throwing money into it. But I assume that the DPS - if it is kaput, dead, finished, all done...

    Need to Find 2010 Multifunction Gauge error lights diagram

    Yes - it is a DPS error. What is the DPS error telling me? I’ll check all my connections too. Thanks. Replying late because I was away on vacation.

    Need to Find 2010 Multifunction Gauge error lights diagram

    I was on a ride this morning and the 2010 Spyder RT SM5 "bogged down" for a second but kept running. It did it a second time. Then orange LIMP MODE with orange ENGINE symbol that alternated with a "winged" symbol of something, flashing orange light at 2 o'clock on gauge, steady orange light at...

    Amber lens missing

    It is actually an LED assembly that blinks with the turn signals. I think Snowbelt Spyder has tracked it down for me.

    Amber lens missing

    This is exactly the lens that I am talking about. It must be the after market Amber LED Marker that the former owner put on. I assumed it was BRP... nope.

    Amber lens missing

    2010 RT Spyder - I have lost the amber lens that covers the left side front wheel running light. It is rhomboid shaped like a flattened rectangle. Where can I get a replacement lens cover? Can-Am website? One of our vendors?

    Repalce headlights with LED 2010 RT?

    My headlights are really dim. I did a search on the forum about replacing headlights on the 2010 RT but nothing came up. Where can I find some brighter LED headlights? Need specs about what size, style, etc. Jim

    C1282 Code and fix didn't work

    Thanks Mike - I'll check the youtube and decide if I can tackle it. I sure don't want to take a chance on messing something up and be riding in a dangerous condition. No, I'm not racing the Spyder, I'm strictly a pleasure rider.
