• 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.

    There's more than a few people here that take issue with some of Shawn's expert advice.

    Trailer ID - is this an RT-622?

    My wife's 2013 RT had the OEM hitch and harness while my 2014 ST had no hitch. When I had my 2019 F3S I put Pierre's hitch and harness and modified the 622's harness to have both square and flat plugs. For my wife's new 2020 RT I built my own harness (with flat plug) as we already put an...

    Need a/mkt key number for RT-622 trailer?

    When we bought a used 622 trailer (from a Volvo dealer!) it came with no keys and my wife's used RT didn't have the extra cylinder. We ended up ordering a new cylinder and keys. Had to disassemble the latch from inside but it wasn't too hard to pop out the old cylinder and slide in the new one.

    frame upgrade? 998 change in 2014? looking to buy

    Unless the the boat dealership doesn't know what he has but you, as an educated plane shopper, do.

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

    Your Sea to Sky likely wasn't scheduled to be built until sometime in January at least. The factory that builds Spyders also builds snowmobiles and they have to switch over the assembly line. Another post in this thread seems to indicate they were going to run the sled line for an extra two...

    Stranded by DESS Check Key - any fix besides towing?

    For a 2020 you need to find someone with a BUDS 2 Megatech license. They can disable DESS. Dealers usually don't have the version and even if they do, most dealers won't disable it due to the liability.

    Is the extra 10 HP for the F3 Sport noticeable over the base F3?

    There's no problem towing with an F3S (a 2019 model is what I have direct knowledge of.) You just can't use a BRP hitch. Pierre at canamspyderaccessories.com has one for the F3S and it's very straightforward to install. I believe Lamont has one as well but would have to double-check that.

    Hit a deer

    Glad to hear you're basically ok. Just prepare yourself for the probability that you'll need to get a lawyer involved. The insurance company will try to lowball you.

    Can-Am-specific trailer stability control?

    Spyders with the 998 VTwin (all RS, ST, pre-2014 RT's) had a "trailer mode" that you had to manually set in the bike's settings. When trailer mode is turned on, it adjusted shift points, brake bias, and probably a few other things. I know this was for the SE's; not sure if the SM's had it as...

    Difference in SE6 downshift under braking?

    It's been mentioned in other threads that the SE6 (and SE5) don't auto-downshift to make life easier for the operator; they auto-downshift to prevent damage from trying to run too low a speed at too high a gear. They still expect the operator to manually downshift as appropriate, just the same...

    OK to Pressure wash wheels?

    If you have stick-on wheel weights a high pressure hose can blow them loose. Don't ask me how I know!

    Why can't I Pre order a 2022 F3-S?

    From what I'm hearing leftover 20's and 21's will be rare. And my dealer told me the pre-order window for 22's is end of September to get the extra year of warranty.

    Update on me

    People that know me on Facebook already know this but last week I was hit head on by a car while riding my F3 home from the dealer. I was heading west bound on a two lane road and a car was waiting in the east bound lane to make a left turn. A second car came up fast and slammed into the back of...

    Meet, Greet, and Eat with BLUEKNIGHT911 aka Mike

    I'll second Mike's riding skill. I spent a very enjoyable few hours several years ago chasing him around southwest Missouri and northwest Arkansas at Spyderfest.

    canamspyderaccessories F3 hitch adapter

    Thanks Dave. It never dawned on me to cut the Flat 4. I needed something quick so in the end I bought a trailer kit at Harbor Freight, cut off one of the flat 4's and spliced it into the trailer's wiring. Now that we're back from our trip I have the time to do it "right".

    canamspyderaccessories F3 hitch adapter

    I'm going to add Pierre's F3/F3S hitch to my F3. His harness comes with a 4 pin flat plug but we have an RT-622 trailer. I haven't been able to find an adapter that will go from 4-pin flat to 4-pin square. Lamont's adapter is the other way around (OEM harness to non-BRP trailer.) Anyone have a...

    Mono Seat Cowl - how much space? Any pics?

    On my F3S the seat cowl does have an indentation so the passenger detect switch isn't pressed.

    Spyder Extras 12v Dock

    I just installed one yesterday on my wife's 2021 RT. Fairly easy to install however, one of the connectors was wired backwards (confirmed with multimeter that the GPS connector it uses was wired correctly.) Buddy of mine helped reverse the wires in the connector and now it's all good.
