• 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.

    Gave up on BRP connect

    BRP should be embarrased at how bad there radio reception and the map programs suck. My reception is so bad that I don't even try to use the radio anymore. I use the blue tooth to stream my music to the BRP radio. I use Pandora and my own downloaded music. This works well unless I plug my phone...

    Fuels for Spyders?

    I have noticed if I fill up with 90 octane, my Spyder (2019 RTL) will spark knock just a couple times when accelerating from a stop. With 93 octane I don't think it does. I'm rechecking my memory now. Last time I filled up they had 90 octane super and I am spark knocking from a stop. I will try...

    Belt Tensioner Roller RPM vs Ground Speed

    This explains why BRP doesn't put them on from the factory. The problem from a grenaded tensioner might be worse than a little belt vibration.

    2020 RT Radio Reception Issue

    My biggest complaint with my 2019 RTL is terrible FM reception. I had an antenna booster installed, no help it might even be worse if that is possible. I'm not a fan of the GPS being linked to an app on the phone. Seems to be very clunky working in todays standard of GPS.

    USB Connection at handle bars.

    Has anyone put a USB power port in one of the rocker switch holes? Looks good and has rubber caps for water protection.

    Do you think you are using a LOT of Brake fluid ????

    The only way I know of for brake fluid to go down is a leak, or it will go down as the brake pads wear. The fluid takes up the space of the worn pad. That being said I have never had to add fluid for brake pad wear. If it was from brake pad wear it should fill the master cylinder when you push...

    Here's what we've done for Rear Tires!

    I would be concerned with the difference in hight changing the gear ratio. stock 225/50R-15 = 23.85" high 205/60R-16 = 24.68" high 215/60R-15 = 25.15" high I'm using the tire formula to determine tire hight. Anyone notice a difference in RPM's at speed. It might not be a lot but...

    60, 70, even 80 mph

    Interesting post. I just bought my first Spyder RTL last year. Took me a long time to get comfortable on it. I guess I was thinking it was going to flop on its side any time, especially on corners. Now that i've put 3000 miles on it I find it really fun to drive, even pushing it on corners. But...

    My RLS Exhaust Experience

    Just wanted to share my experience with RLS exaust. This is my first Spyder, coming off a 2012 Street Glide I was looking to at least be able to hear my Spyder exhaust. I looked a lot of posts on here about mufflers with and without cat delete pipes. I really didn't want to delete my cat. I...

    Are Spyder sales Declining Fast?

    c. Lee I just bought the same spyder you have a week ago (mines chrome not dark). I've been running the wheels off it. Almost 800 miles. I had a Harley rider come up on side of me a couple days ago to say nice color.

    FM radio reception F3L and RT 2018 models.

    Just bought a new 2019 RT limited. The only complaint I have is very poor reception with radio. If I hit the seek function it will only stop on 2 stations. All my other radios stop on many stations. I work in automotive and my thoughts are a p*ss poor antenna. Dealer is going to look at it...

    What's the wind buffetting like on an RTL or F3L?

    The test drive went better than planned. I put 75 to 100 miles on the test Spider. The more I rode the more I liked. They are putting the 2019 RTL orange together (was in the crate) and I should be riding this week end. Thanks for helping me spend my money. LOL

    What's the wind buffetting like on an RTL or F3L?

    Thanks for all the info guys. Went to my dealer yesterday and they don't have a F3 limited set up. I am going to test drive an RT today. This will be my first ride on a Spyder. It's almost like when I was a kid at Christmas , I'm excited.

    What's the wind buffetting like on an RTL or F3L?

    Newbie here, I'm looking at getting either a RT limited or a F3 limited. I have always had Harleys in the past. My curent bike a street glide. The wind buffing on a street glide has always been an issue. My question , is the wind buffing a problem on either of these Can Am's. I've had Ski Doo's...
