• 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.

    New spyder owner, old motorcyclist: is there a kit to add a handlebar brake lever

    I've been riding for almost five decades and it took me about 500 miles to get used to single pedal brake system. After that everything is ok, depends on the day I go to my garage and pick either the RTL or the CB1100 to ride. No problem whatsoever. Just like going from your car to you bike...

    Using a motorcycle jack for an RTL ...

    I use my Torin BigRed motorcycle jack for my RTL, the problem is it just a tad too low for the jack where the frame is. So I just drive the two front wheels atop a 2x6 and there would be enough clearance for the jack to go in. That 1500lbs jack can lift the RT to the max without any problems.

    Full Tank of Fuel

    One easy way to measure is siphon your fuel out of the tank until it's empty or until you think it's empty, then measure the amount you put in it. I'm sure you have a couple of 5-gallon gas tanks in your shed you can use. On my 2013 RTL, the needle at the red mark yesterday, light did not lit up...

    Utter disappointment

    Have the Spyder F3s been made in Canada? Or have BRP move the production line to far east Asia?

    uncomfortable in corners

    If you want feel more comfortable and confident on the Spyder I highly recommend you take the Spyder/Ryker Riding course. I think they still offer that for $99. It is a two-day course and I think you can learn quite a few tricks and tips there. My wife took the course in July and she feels more...

    Adjustable driver footboards for 2014 RT Limited

    My wife is 4 feet 11 3/4 inches and she rides out RT-L around town just fine, never complains. No long distant travel for her just yet. A few years ago I went to have demo ride from Kawasaki and we went out to public street/freeway. A lady from Kawasaki was riding a Concourse 14 following the...

    How long on your original Battery? What did you replace it with??

    One issue with the lead-acid batteries is they will die with little or no warning at all. Seems like I have to replace the batteries on all the car we have/had owned over the year, we usually keep a car for more than 5 years. For me, average life of a battery is about 5 years; the longest I have...

    I hate Squealing Brakes - any suggestions to stop them squealing?

    I bought a 2013 RTL a few months back and I do not like the squealing brake at all. Shortly after I bought it I removed the rear caliper and sprayed Napa Disc Brake Quiet between the pads and their shims. That did not help at all. Last year I had the same problem with my 2013 Honda CB1100 on...

    Battery connections/Computer glitch.

    I think the backup battery does both those mentioned. I few times have to replace the main battery and the radio settings and climate settings stay put, did not have to play with radio station, clock, and such.

    Battery connections/Computer glitch.

    Thanks PMK, that is one idea. I have yet seen the electrical diagram of any Spyder so at this point I'm not sure where electrically to tie the backup battery to. Working on the subject though.

    Battery connections/Computer glitch.

    Hello All, First let me introduce myself. I have been fairly regularly involved on this forum since May of this year after I bought a 2013 RT-L. The Spyder concept is new to me even though I have been riding motorcycles for almost five decades now, first begin with a Honda CL90 and now I have a...

    Modular Hemet - Close with One or Two Hands?

    I have a Kabuto Ibuki helmet, not sold in US any more, can only be close or open with a little lever on the left side. It's kinda odd the Schubert helmet that you have requires two-hand operation. What if you want to open or close it while riding. Maybe you need to adjust the screws holding the...

    Another 2020 RT issue solved!

    The RT models which retail for almost $29K have been around for over a decade and the heated glove box issue has been carried over and over after several improvements and redesigns of the Spyder. Sometime I just wonder what those engineers and managers at BRP are thinking, or not thinking. I am...

    Thinking about adding Centramatic wheel balancers to the front of my RT

    I brought my 2013 RTL front wheels to Discount Tire store to have them mount new tires, they did not have problem mounting or balancing the wheels. They charged me $22 per wheel. The guy asked me what car did those wheels come off, I told him it was a Spyder, he said that he has not worked with...

    Starting my Spyder

    Sorry I was wrong about glow plugs. I have done some researching and what I have found is very interesting. According to some technical service manuals that were circulated inside BRP only, applicable only to Spyders sold in other countries outside of Canada, when you turn on the ignition key...

    2013 Can Am Spyder RT...Thoughts?

    I bought my 2013 RTL in May this year and I got the recalls done by the dealer in July. The reason was they had to order and wait for the parts to come. After that, no more heat issues no more fuel smell.

    Starting my Spyder

    Pressing another button to start my RTL doesn't bother me. What I do not like is waiting for the electronics system to get ready. Why does it take that long? For the glow plugs to get warm up?

    Impossible to get service

    So your daughter has a tooth that is bothering her, you bring her to your dentist office and leave her there waiting for her turn in about 3 weeks. Thats insane. I have a 2013 RTL and i have experienced with not so timely service at dealership.
