• 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.

    Warming up Spyder for oil level check

    Interesting comment as I just experienced the same issue with the transmission drain plug (my first oil change yesterday). As mentioned, the 6mm Allen wrench did not want to go all the way in and to me it seemed more like a torx was required. I did use a 40 torx wrench to eventually get it out...

    Do I really need a GPS?

    I have been a long time fan of the Waze app. Even when driving my truck or car (both equipped with factory navigation) I still use my phone and Waze. One of the neat features is that you and other "Wazers" can mark police activity locations, accident locations and other trouble spots (objects...

    Gas strut for trunk on the RT

    Many thanks for taking the time to pass this on. I just did your seat lift fix yesterday (added a spring to the seat lift strut) so that helped with that problem (thanks!!). Would the spring you had recommended for the seat strut (SP-9713) work on the trunk strut or are they different sizes? I...

    Waze on BRP Connect/Go

    I voted as well. Looks like the request started 3 years ago and they have 17 votes so far. Probably won't push this to the top of their priority list with so little interest. Would be neat to see though.

    Red Dust of Death Recall???? Front Sprocket Recall - FINALLY....

    Thanks Pete....I was thinking along the same lines as well. Not too concerned at this point but will take a peek from time to time to ensure all looks good. Have a good one!!

    Red Dust of Death Recall???? Front Sprocket Recall - FINALLY....

    At the other end of the Spyder timeline I have a 2020 that still has the older style black pulley. I don't think the white pulley was installed at the factory until 2021. The 2020 MY is excluded as well so I find that a bit surprising. I did ask Smoak about that in his latest video and he...

    RAM Mounts - destroyed my iPhone! Any ideas on mounts that won't fail?

    I like the Tackform option as well. Hard to imagine my phone falling out of this thing. I have one on my RTL as well as my Indian Roadmaster and no issues after many miles. Cheers Kevin

    My module finally arrived and I took delivery of my new Spyder!

    I also have a RoadMaster. It definitely can be a handful riding 2 up. My wife prefers the Spyder so we always take it if travelling together. I removed the trunk and still use the RM when out messing around with my 2 wheel buddies. They give me lots of grief over the new Spyder but that's all...

    Recommend a phone holder for a 2012 RS-SE5?

    I'm using a "center mount" Tackform holder that is excellent. I don't think it can work on a 2012 RS though. Perhaps reach out to MotorcycleDave as mentioned. He is really responsive and great to work with (might have another option for you). Cheers Kevin

    What do you think of the 2022 RTL Running board lights?

    I have them on my 2020 RTL and they are quite bright at night. The product looks to be very well made as well. The only feature I wish it offered is turn signal functionality like one of the aftermarket products provides. But I don't think the aftermarket product looks to be as well protected as...

    Any info on adjusting rear trunk/top case latch on '20+ RTL?

    This might be the one you are looking for. Cheers Kevin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVq0_JgBZXU&ab_channel=TheSmoaksVlogs

    TricLed Sequential LED Turn Signals & Running Lights - Anyone else having issues??

    I agree it's likely easier to remove the fenders. I found it much easier to drill the required holes for the install with the fender on a workbench than attached to the bike. One thing that would help with the installation is a simple template that you could use for drilling the holes. I know...

    To grill or not to grill that is the question

    I have these from Pierre over at Can Am Accessories https://www.canamspyderaccessories.com/rt-spyder/grills-front-and-lower-side/front-grills-2020-and-up/ I like the finished look better than seeing the open radiators and I figure it will help protect from larger objects while travelling. I 'm...

    Cluster Update 50.1 available.

    My Spyder is still in storage waiting for spring to arrive lol. I don't recall seeing that setting and see no mention in the owner's manual for 2020. I checked the 2021 manual as well and can't find it there either. For "Display" they only mention adjusting the brightness but I would expect if...

    Cluster Update 50.1 available.

    Interesting that the 2020 MY will not get this update. My understanding is that there were no differences in the 20/21 units so we would expect the digital console is likely the same on both.

    What's New for 2022 by Shawn Smoak...

    Apologies if this was posted already (took a look and can't find it anywhere) but starting at 6:00 Mr. Smoak goes over some of the changes for 2022. Cheers Kevin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlVyG2wUbts&t=983s&ab_channel=TheSmoaksVlogs

    Front Sprocket Failure

    Good info on the white front pulley Not sure if this has been discussed already but some good information on the white pulley from Mr. Smoak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVBhaAbLNMM&ab_channel=TheSmoaksVlogs

    Testing testing - Tackform mount

    I have one of these mounts on my Spyder and was so impressed I bought a second one for my Indian Roadmaster. No regrets at all....very solid product. They include the rubber holder that wraps around the phone for added security but I cannot imagine why you would ever need to use it. Your phone...

    Short reach handlebar - how hard is it to swap bars?

    My pleasure!! I will be replacing my standard RTL bars with a used F3 set when the weather warms up here so will get to tackle a similar project. Good luck!! Cheers Kevin

    Short reach handlebar - how hard is it to swap bars?

    Here is a YouTube link that shows the basic concept of swapping out the bars. I don't know for certain if the 2015 F3 bars are the same setup but I believe they are (others can confirm if they know). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVwK33td2Pc&ab_channel=RoundTheKorner Cheers Kevin
