• 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.

    Can-Am does some things right, others not so much

    When I have to fill up my car with gas I carry along and fill my 5-1/2 gallon gas can to bring home to fully top off the Spyders. It’s a lot less hassle especially when I’m filling two for a long ride.

    My new baby - which gas? 87, E10, or is 91 octane better?

    The last vehicle I purchased new that regular gas was recommended by the manufacturer was in 1998 and I owned that car for only 3 years. Everything else since has been premium fuel. Everything I purchased since was either turbocharged or the Spyders with 12.5:1 compression ratio. When my wife...

    Can anyone help with these 2020+ RT Drivebelt Specs?

    Most of us use the Gates 91132 Krikit II Drive Belt Tension Gauge from the forum sponsor Baja Ron. It’s much less of a hassle, faster and accurate enough. I don’t know of any automotive or motorcycle technician who measures belt tension with electronic equipment. What is your background?

    2021 RT rear hand grips turned brown - any solutions?

    Regular applications of Meguiar’s Back to Black have been beneficial for me. For the amount of money that you spend buying these motorcycles you would think that you would get a higher grade of materials but that’s not the case.

    Chrome or Blacked-out - am I the only one who likes Chrome??

    Personally, I prefer the chrome. From what I gathered chrome plating is not environmentally friendly and many of our favorite things are moving away from that.

    What's the best way to view this forum on an iPhone?

    Click on “New Posts” then scroll down. This forum is very cluttered for me to use in any other way on my iPhone.

    Can't save Radio Channels/find tone adjustment - what am I missing?

    I gave up on the included tuner. I stream free and commercial free radio from my phone. The sound quality is much higher as is the volume.

    What is everybody using for outdoor or trailering Covers?

    Both of my Spyders wear Ultraguard full covers when stored for the winter in my home’s garage. These covers are fantastic. Look for a sale price and buy with confidence. Never leave a covered vehicle out in the wind. Your life will have a lot of regret.

    Best vs Revolos Extended Warranty?

    Revolos offers better coverage of repairs than BEST. BEST is more universally accepted. If you live local to the dealership you purchased from and plan to have your service work performed by them you should be fine. If you travel greater distances for service or pleasure you might be out of...

    Got my BEST extended warranty from iMotorsports!

    You have to be really careful in consideration of an aftermarket warranty. Servicing dealers are not required to honor them. I have been disappointed by a few local BRP dealers Service Department Managers. Do your research before buying.

    Are Can Am OEM Covers worth it vs After-Market Covers?

    There is no way in H E DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS where I would pay $300 for a motorcycle cover. The UltraGard cover is very nice and has a 5 year warranty. I would definitely look into one of those.

    Anyone replaced the Saddlebag Release Cable on a 2021 RT? Seen a video?

    He is probably out of warranty by now and the BRP BEST warranty does not cover this part. I have a different extended service contract than the BEST where the parts and labor were covered items but I didn’t feel like driving 50 miles multiple times to have a simple repair so I purchased the...

    Anyone replaced the Saddlebag Release Cable on a 2021 RT? Seen a video?

    I replaced both of mine on my 2021 RTL. You have the basic gist of it on what you need to remove except for the pannier box inner liner has to come out all of the way. There are some screws and plastic clips that will need to be removed and also a screw and nut on the lower leading edge that has...

    HowTo: Setting the front tire pressures equally each side.

    Tire pressure no matter how it’s measured by digital gauge or TPMS will seldom match. If you are within a couple of tenths of 1PSI you are good to go. Tire pressure equalization is stretching it. This is a motorcycle and not a Space Shuttle.

    After suggestions on Essential Tools to carry?

    I would guess that a dead battery, a flat tire, and parking brake problems would have to be the top three concerns, so carrying a few things to get you back on the road if those occur without an expensive tow bill is a good idea. I also carry a small Med kit with typical band-aids, ACE wrap, and...

    What could be the reason Bluetooth is disconnected? I'm so sad.

    When starting up the Spyder the audio control takes a long time to boot up. After an extended wait time with nothing, try repeatedly depressing the top left control button on the audio keypad firmly and slowly to bring it fully around back to the correct input source where it should be and see...

    Electric Spyder next?

    I find it incredible that people are believing that our air is dirty. Everywhere I go everyone is happily alive and thriving. Put me down in the growing room of climate skeptics. There is no way I would ever want to own or operate an electric motorcycle at highway speeds for personal enjoyment...

    Electric Spyder next?

    Recent news says that 47% of Buick dealers will be ending their franchise rather than upgrade their facilities to sell money losing EV’s. Other news say that Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki CEO’s say that they are going to get rid of their dealer networks. Finally, other news I read said that...

    Went To Buc-ee's in Atlanta!

    Intentionally stopped into Buc’ees in Sevierville Tennessee a couple of weeks ago for a fill up and opportunity to see what that and their convenience store was all about. Left there very impressed and with a tasty fresh made BBQ brisket sammich and a few other homemade snacks for the road. What...
