• 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.

    What Chocks do you use for Trailering Spyder?

    No where enough room to ratchet it. Will most likely do the fronts. Was hoping to drill less holes in the Aluma.

    What Chocks do you use for Trailering Spyder?

    The 2020 Rt has the mud flap protruding lower to the ground by a good 6 inches. No way to ratchet down around the rear tire anymore. Thinking about cutting some of the flap off or seeing how much time it takes to remove for trailering 5 or 6 times a year. Dealer said the rear flap was not an...

    1st 2020 Rt Limited repair

    Yup, started with a more positive push, then moved to only working on the 2nd or 3rd push to finally needing 6 or more pushes. Here is to hoping the dealer does not install the exact same defective switch from BRP.

    1st 2020 Rt Limited repair

    Just over 1100 miles. Really like this bike even more than the 2014 RTS. The only thing wrong so far was the left turn signal would not turn on at times. Dealer diagnosed it as a bad switch. Part should be in by Friday. Marsala Red, built in April. It does have the poor fitting passenger...

    Pricing advice on 2020 RTL dark

    I bought at Action Kawasaki Yamaha & Can Am in Bradenton. They have a Dark RTL in red on the floor and others still in crates at the storage area. Ask for Ray Baker. He is off on Tuesday's. I did get a preferred price since we bought 3 bikes there over the years.

    Pricing advice on 2020 RTL dark

    Interesting as my dealer said it was $450. above his cost. How did you buy brand new at a net loss to the dealer? I think I remember they had 2 demo's for a reduced price. They are less than an hour from me. Perhaps a ride up Monday would be in order... Nevermind, they have a pre owned on...

    Tally Thread: I purchased a new 2020 RT.

    Deposited and bank approved on a RTL Chrome Marsala Red, still in the crate at the dealer. Delivery Wednesday or it would be busting bugs today.

    Pricing advice on 2020 RTL dark

    The RTL dark has a $1000 rebate. The chrome has 2k. Ends up about $500 more for chrome if you think it is worth it. Bought a chrome today in Florida for $24,614, plus tax including any and all dealer fees. Also, Can Am's finance arm, Sheffield Financial, got me 2.99% APR for 60 months with...

    Instrument cluster changed - is it now illegal?

    I had cluster replaced. Miles to zero. Never left the shop, so I know my exact miles. But, in most states, Florida included, the odometer does not accurately show the total miles and is therefore "True Miles Unknown, Warning Odometer Discrepancy". Sounds like a shot to the jewels when it...

    QUESTION ON CHARGING MY SENA 10

    Adam did a great job replacing my batteries. My units were older and he had to order the correct batteries and still got my headsets back in a week. Just used them for 5 hours straight and worked well. Saved over $300. for new units.

    First "real" problem.

    My 2014 RTS had the same symptoms. Ended up being a bad brake switch tripping one of the sensors/ecm.

    We would be interested in the battery replacement information versus a new unit Our Sena SMH10H (half helmets) only last about an hour and a half in the Florida heat. Got 5 years out of them so far. Thanks.

    Rear Tire Wear

    That is what happens when a too soft center of a compound is used. My dealer replaced my Kenda very early due to an agreement at time of sale, with the slightly harder compound Kenda which was just released. It is suppose to last longer. So, some guys and gals try to stretch the life past...

    LOOKING TO BUY NEED HELP

    In New York State, you needed an insurance license to sell GAP. 99% of the dealers contracted it out as a service to it's customers who did not put much money down and could easily have a gap between the insurance company check and the balance owed on the wrecked unit. Since this is a want and...

    Enclosed trailer question

    We have to pull the Spyder in forward to comfortably fit both bikes. Must be just a little longer and wider than some other bike combo's. Would have liked to have shifted some Spyder weight rearward, by backing it in, but could not do it. The tongue weight does squat the 1/2 ton pickup a...

    Enclosed trailer question

    we have a 7x16 v-nose tandem. We have a RT-S and a Victory Cross Country Tour. We did successfully fit them in a 7x14, but it was real tight. The price difference on the Diamond Cargo brand was only a couple hundred bucks and came with a beefier trailer tongue which could better handle a...

    air bag motor not running-2015 RT-Limited

    My 2014 needed a new pump. Dealer also did it under BRP warranty. 13,000miles. No hole in bag. Luck of the draw I guess.
