• 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.

    Gas Mileage - FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY!

    LOL. What short memories we have! My last fill up was $2.71/gallon for premium. Back in 2012 it was always around four dollars or more. Central Ohio area here. Not sure about other model years, but individual fill ups are not as important as keeping a running record over the lifetime of your...

    Gas Mileage - FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY!

    I always use 93 octane. Remember, the first 2 1/2 years of ownership (bought in April 2012) gas was hovering at $4 or more. Then it gradually began coming down. I included the last 10 fill ups and you can see the latest gas prices there. Last time it was $2.71. In the Columbus Ohio area...

    Front tires for my 2014 RT Limited

    No Problems Same experience - ordered the rear tire and took it to the dealership (about 1/8 mile away) who installed it. Front tires were ordered (based upon a recommendation on this FORUM - 2012 Can-Am Spyder RT-S SM5) and i took the rims in with my old tires and they mounted and balanced...

    Bullying on our boards will be dealt with when reported

    First time I have been here in probably a year. I don't mind other peoples opinions, it was the mindless commenting that offered no value that bugged me. You still have to wade through that, to get to the important stuff when you search for a topic but I really know of no solution, so I just...

    2-cycle. 4-cycle and confusion

    Don't get me started .... Hate the big box stores where the employees don't know what they are talking about (Best Buy, Lowes, Home Depot, etc.) I am dangerous enough myself - but to be led down the primrose path by someone who is supposed to help you - SUCKS BIG TIME! Was at Home Depot the...

    Accuracy of Gas Gauge Improving

    2012 Can-Am Spyder RT-S SM5 - The first year I owned my Spyder, I noticed that I (and others) complained about the accuracy of the fuel gauge, i.e. reading low when there was still plenty of fuel; the needle bouncing around on the gauge; etc. This is now nearing the end of my 4th year of riding...

    Battery for 2012 Can-Am Spyder RT-S SM5

    Purchased a battery from Batteries Plus Bulbs in the Columbus, Ohio area. Used their online battery selection process and found the battery they said was equivalent to what I needed. Sorry, after 3 months, I decided to have YUASA battery installed. While the DURAGM-18L-US Duracell Ultra USA...

    BRIDGESTONE - POTENZA RE92 - P165/65R14 --- IS THIS THE TIRE I NEED?

    Thanks! The local Walmart did the tire rotation (including switching the tires on the rims since the Kendas are directional tires) last year. They also balanced the tires. The dealership is a Firestone Tire Center and they said they were comfortable they could do all of the work if Walmart...

    BRIDGESTONE - POTENZA RE92 - P165/65R14 --- IS THIS THE TIRE I NEED?

    When owners are suggesting Bridgestone Potenza tires make a suitable replacement for the front-tires of a 2012 RT-S SM5 --- is this the tire they are talking about? My local tire dealer said he would gladly install on my RIMS if I brought the tires in, but I want to make sure I am buying the...

    New owner

    Good for You! Bought my Spyder new in 2012 (manual transmission with the clutch) and it has been a great ride. Just short of 15,000 miles and it has been great. Major service for me was the break-in service and the major service at 14,600 miles (sorry, lived in Germany for a while but have...

    2012 Spyder RT-S SM5 Gas Mileage Chart

    I am probably a pretty conservative rider. Generally stick to the speed limits (max in Ohio is 70 m.p.h. with most highways less then that depending on local traffic conditions). No fast starts, etc. I follow the recommendations for shifting (manual shift here). My FUEL FILL-UP light...

    2012 Spyder RT-S SM5 Gas Mileage Chart

    Last Report for this Riding Season - OHIO - 2014 I have tracked every mile traveled, gas fill-up, etc. since I purchased my 2012 Can-Am Spyder RT-S SM5. Unfortunately, it is time to put it away for the rest of this year. Hopefully, in March 2015, I will be on the road again.
