• 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.

    How do you mount your phone to the Spyder?

    Ryde or talk on the phone. Can't do both. Same with texting, can't ryde and text. I think that was said earlier in the post. Just want to re-iterate. My phone is in the rear luggage box though it is on so my friend can track where I am.

    Used 2014 RT-S Opinions?

    Going about this the wrong way. It is not an 'investment.' It is a motorcycle to ride in the open air, free. If you want an investment, buy stocks. \

    Tire update. Just for info, not starting a discussion or argument.

    I think it is very generous of BRP to put Kendas on their bikes. What they are doing is improving tire sales for other companies. Think of it as a public service.

    FOBO Help

    I have searched and read the spyderlovers posting on the Fobo system. I replaced the batteries, reinstalled the app (got a you're connected message), rebooted my Samsung 8+. I only installed the rear battery as instructed by the app. And ensured blue tooth was ON. I touched the phone to the...

    Tupperware Tab Broke

    Thanks for the assistance. I have some Q Bond plastic repair which is like Plast Aid except it cures in 10 seconds. Far too quick to mix, apply and maneuver the part in place. It cures as hard as the plastic it is repairing. But very difficult to use. I chickened out. I ordered PN...

    Tupperware Tab Broke

    Today someone was helping replace some fender light wiring. He pulled the jack out without lowering it all the way, unaware that the jack had a safety lock that 'almost' cleared the left front rain guard. The tab that holds the front part of it was broken. I think it will be impossible to...

    Battery Panel Screw Size

    When I got my 14 RT back from the repair shop, the two screws that hold the battery panel cover in place were missing. I drove the 100 miles back Friday to ask to get the missing screws. TWO parts persons looked through all of their computer parts drawings, asked me 4 times if it was a 13 and I...

    80 MPH Sustained

    Just to say it again, the Veskimo has been a saviour to me. The heat gets me down really badly. It's a heart thing. Block ice over cubes lasts way longer... But hard to find block ice any more... And, yes, there are many much cheaper way to stay cool.

    RT-S Front tires

    I was concerned about 'real' speed with tire size. I'm concerned because (in my Sierra) I had tires just one size larger. I was cruising the interstate at 78 mph, which is in that edgy OK you don't get a ticket envelope. I got a ticket. My speedo showed 78 but that cop's radar showed 81...

    1330 and Gas Mileage Review - What's yours? Anyone else tracking theirs?

    I read somewhere that the first CanAm Spyder RT was out of gas at 100 miles. Just don't know what the tank size was though. And that was only a 2 cylinder engine. I have ridden hard, watched that gas tank light thingy fire up and kept on going. Next stop 7.0 gallons. I think that tenth was...

    oil engine

    I bought my '14 RT new. First and all subsequent oil changes I have used Amersoil full synthetic. I think the BRP branded oil is Castrol. I think. I am pleased with the oil, I read a lengthy report on it which reported it to be top grade. And so far, no issues. I buy it by the case and...

    14 RTS your experience?

    My 2104 base model RT had parking brake motor replaced about 9,000 miles (sounds familiar) and at 32K miles the cam shaft sensor failed. BEST warranty covered that. Not bad really. I rode to the Homecoming without a hitch and lots of miles after. Love the machine. Still have it and will...

    Suggested tools for long road trip

    There was a small tool kit that came with the 14 RT. What it was for is a puzzle to me. If it craps, I call the motor club. That's what I pay for. And as I know zip all about mechanics, that B.E.S.T. warranty card and my motorcycle insurance which provides transport, that's enough for this...

    RTL MPG Question

    I don't really now about mileage but if 25MPG at 75 is normal, that's great to know. I ryde on long trips until the fuel light comes on. Don't know just how far I can push it but I have gotten 40 more miles after the light comes on. I have put 6.9 after that on a fill up so it was close...

    How many miles is too many?

    Regarding the comment, "I would not pay more than $8,000 for it" bothers me. I have a 14 RT. I have upgraded it so much, like about $9K. So when I sell it, someone is going to go to a source like NADA and they will quote the proper price is.... So what do I and any other potential seller...
