• 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.

    Smart Phone as GPS for Spyder?

    I have a Zumo 660 that came with my RT-L, yes I agree with you guys that it's really hard to see in bright daylight. Using your phone as GPS is excellent idea and it would make it easier if your phone has OLED screen instead of LCD. All you have to do is preload your destination at home - I use...

    RT tall windshield install/comparison

    I'm not sure why anybody wants a tall windshield above your eye level. Supposedly, you look over the top of the windshield, not through the windshield. Just my experience over the decades. Cheers!

    2013 RT-L SE5 Not shifting?

    Update, After searching high and low, there was no obvious sign of linkage problem and no other error code to be read from the display panel. The engine oil was a bit over half way on the dipstick. The battery was fully charged. I called two dealerships here in Salt Lake valley, one told me to...

    How old are you?

    I'm 64. And it looks like average age of Spyder owners is about 98.6. Just like average age of Cadillac owners before GM released the CTS, it dropped from 105 to 75 in less than a year. If BRP releases more variations of the Ryker then average age should drop to 72.5. Cheers!

    How should I Wash my Spyder - 2020 RT?

    Why would you want to wash it yourself, let somebody else wash it for you. Just ride thru a car wash, make sure it's brushless though. Cheers!

    2013 RT-L SE5 Not shifting?

    Thank you Doug for the ideas. The last time autoshift was activated was when we were approaching that traffic, It was normal downshift, no clunky or noises. I check all the fuses, big and small, on both fuse boxes and everything is Okay, no burnout fuses. I swapped the fuses around if they have...

    Spark plug Heat sink paste

    Guys, BRP probably means anti seize grease on the spark plug thread, not heat sink paste. You can get the anti seize grease in small package at auto stores for $1 or so. the grease prevents aluminum and steel from bonding to each other. It's a good idea to use that grease on anything that gets...

    Hi All, Vehicle: 2013 RT Limited SE5 with 1452 miles. Bought it last year with 45 miles on it, the Spyder was in brand new condition with bad tires for sitting flat too long. Soon after I got it, I replaced all 3 tires, also the battery replaced with a Yuasa same model that was in the Spyder...

    Brake flashers/strobe

    I purchased a few GS-100A tail light strobe modules and installed on 3 of my cars on the center stop lights, work wonderfully. Also I installed on the left stop light only 2013 RT-L so the left will flash when I hit the brake but the right stop light does not. Seem to get people's attention. So...

    battery tender question

    Years ago while I was at a motorcycle dealership, I noticed that all of the new bikes had a charging pigtail hang out on the right side. I talked to a sales guy and he told me that they install those pigtails so they can charge the bikes while they in the showroom so the bikes are ready to go...

    Still looking and evaluating

    Can-am is currently having a $2000 rebate on new 2020 RT. I went to look at one RTL in a local dealership here in Salt Lake area, still in create, the price is $25,199. Taxes, fees, etc extra. I think it is a better deal since the top case is a very expensive add-on by itself. Good luck!

    Connecting an iPhone 12 to a 2013 RT - Any ideas/advice?

    I have a 2013 RT-L that came with the Apple 30-pin iPod adapter and it work fine with an older iPod. I have yet tried to connect my iPhone 12 to the RT-L audio system. I think you can connect an iPhone 12 with lightning to 3.5mm audio adapter to the AUX port, if you have the right cable for your...

    How to tell when it is time to replace your battery

    Batteries are the one item you rely on the most on your vehicles but yet they are the most unpredictable items. I don't remember any cars or motorcycles I have had for more than two years and not having to replace the battery. Yes, the AGM batteries seems to last longer than the old style...

    Another milestone

    Congrats I don't think I've had a motorcycle with more than 20K miles on one, I've had over a dozen motorcycles over the decades, always buy high sell low. On my 2013 RT-L so far it only has little over 1200 miles. I think I will try to catch up with you when I retire next year on that Spyder...

    Helmet Advice

    Great debate topic. Should we tell the new member about engine oil to use in his Spyder? I have had many many helmets over the decades of riding. I just stick to the brand name helmets, Shoei,Bell,HJC,AGV,etc. because of their research and testing on the helmets. Lately, I found that HJC makes...

    2nd Class Owner

    It is wonderful to have new nice shiny toys, but i did not want to have to make payments on toys so i purchases a 2013 RTL with extremely low miles last May. At the time the dealer had a new 2018 RTL for $20K, i got this 2013 instead and for sure i do not feel like a second class of anything...
