• 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.

    Vehicle Parking Needed Near Glacier Park, MT

    Hi, I am planning a trip next summer where I would trailer my Spyder to Montana and ride for a couple of weeks. I want to make a loop through Glacier Park and nearby parts of Canada, Idaho, and Washington. Would anyone know of a place where I could park my pickup truck and trailer near Glacier...

    Anyone found a better 2020+ RT Horn Location?

    On the 2020 and up RT, the horn is tucked up behind the frunk. There is a panel that has that protects the horn. If you install a replacement horn, it may end up facing the rear of the Spyder (it probably doesn't matter which direction it faces because how the sound can escape is limited)...

    Just installed a 2022 RT Ltd ShowChrome Trailer Hitch.

    I just looked at the Show Chrome hitch. I see why it works and the Can-Am hitch doesn't. Show Chrome uses a smaller diameter rod (bolt) to go through the axle. The hole in the 2022 is smaller (a friend mounted his with 5/16" all-thread). The Can-Am hitch uses a larger diameter bolt. This might...

    Any reason there's no Trailer hitch for 2022 RT's?

    It's my understanding that BRP issued a Service Bulletin covering this issue. They will order and install a new axle at your request.

    Just installed a 2022 RT Ltd ShowChrome Trailer Hitch.

    That's great! So on yours they used an axle with a 5/8" diameter thru-hole?

    Wiring for Bushtec Trailers

    Thanks, but I'm still confused. When I look under the seat of my 2016 RTL, I see the module that is currently installed for the 4-pin trailer that I used to have. it is the standard Hopkins converter that takes the 6 wires that Can Am supplies and outputs 4 wires for the trailer. The connector...

    Wiring for Bushtec Trailers

    So, now that I've done some more research, I need to ask: Should I (or, do I have to) use an isolator? If so, is there one that will give me a 5 or 6 wire output?

    Wiring for Bushtec Trailers

    Hi All, I need a wiring expert! I recently purchased a '93 Bushtec Turbo 2 Trailer to tow with my 2016 RT Limited. I'm a little confused about wiring. Bushtec uses a straight 6-pin connector with separate brake and turn signal wiring. Newer Can Am Trailers use 4-pin connectors, so those towing...

    Pulling a Bushtec Trailer

    I searched for "Hopkins Power Converter," and it looks like a great product, but not what I need. It converts to 4 pin trailer; I need 5 pin trailer. Thanks!

    Plug n Play wiring harness Is that the same wiring harness that Show Chrome sells for about $65? If not, would it do the same thing? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KYFGTFG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Pulling a Bushtec Trailer

    Greetings to all, I'm looking for advice from anyone who pulls a Bushtec trailer. Questions: 1. Are you able to use Bushtec's pin (instead of a ball) coupler? If so, how does it handle? Did you have to do anything special to mount the pin? 2. If you already have Can Am trailer wiring, do you...

    Which section of road do you usually ride your Spyder ??

    Dodging buggies and horse poop is a hazard in Lancaster County, PA. Motorcycles are often seen swerving to avoid these common obstacles.

    Garmin 595 Install on 2016 RT

    I purchased a new Garmin 595LT, and would like to take advantage of the Spyder features. I took the Right side panels off and found the power connection and what looks like an audio jack. Are these for the GPS? The cable from the mount breaks out to several cables: 1. Black and Red (fused)...

    Time for New Shocks

    Clarification Just to clarify: I'm not saying that I NEED new shocks or that my shocks are bad. I'm just wondering if different shock would make a significant difference in handling. If new shocks or pre-load devices would make a great difference, I'm in, but I'm not just out to spend money.

    Time for New Shocks

    Hi All, I have been riding my 2013 STL for about 4 years now. I have put 13,500 miles on it. I'm close to getting new tires, but I'm thinking I will get the shocks replaced also. Here are my questions: Should I do it? If so, what should I get? I see Elka Stage 2 and Fox mentioned. What is...

    I'm thinking about new shocks

    Hi All, I have been riding my 2013 STL since 2015. I bought it used with 285 miles on it; now it has 13,000 on it. I replaced the original sway bar with a Baja Ron sway bar. It made a big difference in the handling. I have also had the front end aligned. It rides and handles well, but I'm...

    Seen it I think..

    I agree! I'm jumping in here kind of late. I bought my 2013 STL in 2015. When I asked the dealer about the heat issue, he dug up the bulletin and read it to me. It even included the dealership sending panels to a paint shop to have the color matched if the 2013 color was no longer made. My...
