• 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.

    Confused about tire pressure - Spyder feels squirrelly, do I go up, or down?

    About 1500 miles on the new toy. Years of 2 wheel. I just seem to have issues with keeping a steady "set" thru a turn. I turn into a corner and once the tire loads it feels like it slips/wobbles, unloads, and I'm chasing the nose.

    Confused about tire pressure - Spyder feels squirrelly, do I go up, or down?

    2021 RT Limited. Im a big boy - and most of the time my wife rides with me. I have the tires at 19 front - 26 rear. But the bike feels squirrely in turns (to me). Do I go up in pressure - go lower? Everything I read says lower - but from an automotive background - sidewall flex is not...

    2020 RTL ( please don't laugh at me) What size is the USB port? Looking for splitter

    The USB port is a Type A - not type C. Type C is for newer devices with a plug that is a small rectangle with rounded corners. Type A is the large square plug with square corners - thay has a definite one way insertion (has an upside and downside). The type C is universal and will insert...

    Tired of the sissy wave by other riders

    I acknowledged EVERY bike I passed with the inverted V (keep both tires on the ground) when I rode two wheeled - I will continue to do so while I am on three. If they choose to ignore or not respond - that is their decision; I will have performed my karmic duties by wishing the best for them. No...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    So far: Installed my big eye mirrors from Lamonster. BEST upgrade ever - I can see behind me as opposed to the factory WORTHLESS mirrors. Handlebar end lid locks - two full face helmets do NOT fit in the rear trunk (at least two modulars do not) - so these were desperately needed (the underseat...

    Anyone received their 2022 Spyder or news on Delivery, Delays, & Omissions?

    I have had my 2021 RT Limited for about a month now - have put on around 1200 miles; I am STARTING to shed some of the two wheel habits and understanding what the Spyder wants from me. I have been riding bikes since I was 8 and just had my 56th birthday - I thought I would jump right on and be...

    1330cc RPM shift points

    Ok, I have had my 2021 Spyder RT Limited for about a month and 1000 miles now. Have stopped looking the front brake lever and have started the process of spending money on things to make it mine. But I am still wondering about RPM ranges and shift points. I have followed the simply hold the...

    Do you think dealerships should offer some compensation/discounts ??

    A dealer OWES the customer nothing. Same as the customer OWES nothing to the dealer. It is a relationship that EITHER can choose to walk away from at any time. If your dealer/ your deal is unsatisfactory - then cancel whatever arrangement you have made and move on. If you are satisfied that...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Today was installation of the Lamonster Big Eye Mirrors. And the start of design work on the factory mirror delete panels. I cannot tell you how nice it is to actually have functional, usable mirrors on my RT. Can Am should be ashamed of the factory mirrors. I also installed the BRP rear...

    Waving from the wrong side...

    Had a great ride today with my lovely wife on our RT Limited. Lots of two wheelers and even a Spyder F3 and a couple Rykers to wave at. But this got me thinking... In the US and Right side of the road driving countries - we wave/ inverted "V" with our left hands as this is the side passing...

    How many 2022 Spyders Coming?? Shout if you've ordered/got one!

    Unjustified? FACT: Most of the folks who ordered 2022 models are still waiting with 1/3 of 2022 passed. FACT: The 2022s that are arriving are incomplete - maybe the parts are minor or trivial. But a spoon is pretty insignificant as well, until you order soup. Without these minor items - you...

    Should we wait for ordered '22 RT or buy available '20 RTL?

    I know where there are (as of Tuesday) at least three new 2021 RT Limiteds in the Western US. California, Washington State and Nevada. PM me if interested in details.

    Should we wait for ordered '22 RT or buy available '20 RTL?

    I got tired of waiting. A 2022 that is already half a year old before it arrives and then is of questionable content and build quality (when the president of BRP is willing to send out incomplete units and (his words) have office staff doing assembly - I question the final product). And it is...

    Anyone received their 2022 Spyder or news on Delivery, Delays, & Omissions?

    I'll look at my notes - but I believe I found one in Florida; but didn't follow up as distance to ship or ride was prohibitive. I found and verified 2021 RT Limiteds in California and Washington State. And a 100 mile demo unit in Las Vegas.

    Anyone received their 2022 Spyder or news on Delivery, Delays, & Omissions?

    I have found about 4 '21 leftover RT Ltd if anyone is leaning in the same direction.

    Anyone received their 2022 Spyder or news on Delivery, Delays, & Omissions?

    Yes, I spoke with my dealer and was told to not expect my 2022 until AFTER July. So I cancelled my order and purchased a leftover 2021 - not the desired color; but it existed and I drove it home same day. Saved $2500 over the '22 and I can get it painted if I decide I cant live with the color.

    How many 2022 Spyders Coming?? Shout if you've ordered/got one!

    Just spoke to a dealer stating, he was notified that west coast dealer Spyders will not ship until after July 1st. So theres that... Of course they were also "offering" to convert me to a leftover 2021 that is in stock. So who knows?

    How many 2022 Spyders Coming?? Shout if you've ordered/got one!

    Ordered my 2022 RT Limited in Petrol Blue Dark (which apparently is the only way the Blue is offered for 2022). And no; no definite date on delivery. And weather is getting too nice to keep waiting.
