• 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.

    Im a New Member/Owner..

    Hi and welcome! The local dealer for Can Am is Beaumont Tractor, which is on College Street (409-866-3360). The sell tractors and spyders! They may have or can get the parts for you or know of others who can. I'm here in Beaumont too (see below for details on my bike) so if you want to ride...

    Got stopped at a dui check point.

    One thing I do is keep some of the small Can Am flyers that I got from dealer in my rear trunk. I give these out to people who have more questions to ask than I have time to answer!

    My Buddy and his 2014 RT....

    Would love to hear more about how he liked or disliked the machine!

    thanks, forum!

    Thanks for all of your informative tips! Yesterday I was driving my RT home from a 300 mile trip, everything seemed fine. All of a sudden, I started getting a DPS defect warning on my dash, even though the steering seemed to be working just fine. Pulled over, turned off the machine, took the key...

    2014 question

    Is the 2014 front axle longer/wider than that for the 2012,2013 models- or does it just look that way because of the different front end treatment?

    Question...has any guy ridden passenger with their girl/wife 2-up?

    One of the best things about the spyder is that you can take any type of passenger on the back safely. This is not the case on 2 wheels. I owned plenty of 2 wheeled motorcycles in the past and took my uncle on the back once as he was begging for a ride. That was the one and only time I took a...

    I shared a story on Can-Am's Facebook page and was told I should share here also

    easy riders Same story here, except that I taught my brother how to ride mine. He had never been on a 2 wheel machine before (even refused to ride mine when I had them). So he didn't have anything to unlearn when learning to ride the spyder. He took the safety class on my machine and got his MC...

    World's worst driver- confirmed!

    Check out this short video to see the world's worst scooter driver! http://biertijd.com/mediaplayer/?itemid=41302 Glad none of our spyder riders would do such a thing!

    Need help deciding about a 2014

    I also am planning on enjoying my 2012 for awhile longer. I think all you have to do is look at the number of threads on this site dealing with problems that are being faced by those that bought 2013 RT to know what is possible for a first production year machine. Your 2011 will be worth less...

    My Thoughts On The 2014

    That's why I am going to hold onto my 2012 for at least a couple of more years. Both 2013 and 2014 RT are the first of new production types and it may take a couple of years before the kinks are worked out of those! Good luck to all and ride safe!

    Girls on Spyders

    question Why the use of the term "girls" in the name of group? I'll bet there is not one single minor female member. That term was insulting in common in usage males to refer to adult women of all ages in the business world and is only slowly dissipating.

    Sharing The Road

    Yes to all above. And you might consider installing a stebel air horn on your bike. Unlike the stock horn, it is loud enough to get the attention of 18 wheelers. I have blasted more than a few of them out of the lane when they tried to get up close & personal with me and spyder!

    2014 RT Colors

    Went on the Can AM web site & couldn't believe the lack of colors for all the bike lines this year. Nothing wrong with the colors they did offer, but there just aren't enough of them. Gotta have my RED​, so I'll wait a few more years!

    So who is in line for a 2014 RT

    Sticking with my 2012 RT. What's up with the lack of colors for the 2014's? I heard there was only black, white, cognac and yellow for the new RT's. Can't handle it with no bright ​RED

    I talked with BRP for a rebate for 2013 to 2014

    I would be wary of the 2014 RT line, with the new engine and transmission there is no telling what problems may arise. Don't forget that both 2013 and 2014 are the first years of production lines with major changes from the prior format. If you can hold onto your ride, you might fare better by...

    Guages

    replaced my 2 stock gauges with a digital oil pressure gauge and larger digital clock. These show up very well at night, but can be difficult to see in bright sunlight. I had my dealer install them when spyder was in for some other work. Got from pro sport gauges, 52 mm size- can see a variety...

    2 Millions Bikers to DC

    Sounds great! If anyone was able to participate in the ride, why not have them relate their experiences here? I saw some spyders in the video of the event. It would be great to get a description from people who went- since there won't be any mainstream media coverage of it.
