• 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.

    BRP "Sytstem" resulting in lost customer

    Personally, I think there are systems available to BRP that could ease the problems with parts distribution. I had a Ural sidecar outfit for a couple years. By industry standards Ural is a very tiny company, selling 600 - 800 units in the U.S. annually. But their dealers have access to a...

    2013 RTL with 660 GPS mount need a GPS

    I have the Garmin Zumo that came with my 2012 RT Ltd. that I traded back in October. I also have the carrying case for it. If you are interested, you can PM me with an offer.

    Begs the question

    As I mentioned in a previous post, the dynamics on three wheels are totally different from two wheels. I think the fact that I owned a Ural sidecar outfit before buying a Spyder was a factor in my case. If you think a Spyder handles differently, try a sidecar. On a sidecar left turns are...

    I am so dumb... I did it again!

    I suppose you could figure a way to mount it on the handlebars, but I wanted mine waterproof and theft proof. On a recent trip, I did change channels several times. Most red lights allow enough time to pop open the lid and press a programmed channel button.

    I am so dumb... I did it again!

    I installed an XM radio on my 2018 RTL and it was pretty straightforward. Mounted the radio in the glove box and the antenna on top of the rear trunk. The input from the radio to the BRP audio auxiliary input will probably require a double female 3.5 mm barrel connector, available at Radio...

    Spyder Idiosyncrasies.

    Lots of good advice here. One thing to remember if you are coming off of two wheels: With two wheels leaned into a corner, "G" forces are aligned with the vertical axis of the bike, pulling downward on your body. In most cases this is not even noticeable. on a three wheeler, any change in...

    Used 2014 RT-S Opinions?

    When I was looking at used RT's here in Arizona, the only ones I saw in that price range were 2010s - 2013s. If every thing checks out, I think that is a great price for an RT with a 1330 engine. As mentioned above, there could be legitimate reasons for cosmetic damage to the bottom of the nose.

    Cluster update 2018 F3T

    I had the same experience after my 2018 RTL was updated to v20.8, when it was in for the 3k service. Before, there was hardly enough audio to hear the XM radio at highway speeds. Now with the ambient auto volume on, I actually have to turn down the volume. However, even with the volume set all...

    Cardo packtalk bold and the 2018 can am blue tooth radio.

    I have a 2018 RTL with firmware v20.8. Today I installed Cardo Freedom 4 systems on the wife's and my helmet. Although I was able to pair them with the Spyder Bluetooth, it will not play aux through the headsets. What am I missing?

    Has anyone installed satellite radio on 2018-19?

    Hi Billy, I see you have an F3. As an owner of an RT, and not being familiar with the F3, my post may not be relevant to your situation. I just mounted the control head in the glove box on my RT. The only challenge I had was finding a double female 3 conductor audio barrel connector for the...

    Weak Audio Output on 2018 Spyder's w/newly designed digital display models

    I have a 2018 RTL with V20.8. I recently installed an XM satellite receiver in the glove box. Although the audio quality is very good, I have to run it at maximum to be able to hear it at speeds above 50 mph.

    Do you use motorcycle parking spaces?

    If that ever happened to me, I would just show them a picture of my H-D RoadKing.

    Do you use motorcycle parking spaces?

    I always use the designated motorcycle parking at our local Walmart. Problem is, so do some of the car drivers.

    I’m Confused about 2018 RTL Software Up Dates???

    Falcon AF has given you some very good information. I purchased my 2018 RTL new in October, and it came with v11.xx software. Last month I took my Spyder back to the dealer to have the 3K service done, and requested the v20.8 update. I was there for an additional hour and a half while they tried...

    20.8 Software

    Took my 2018 RTL for the 3K service a couple weeks ago and requested they do the software update. They flashed it several times and could not get it to update. Finally they called BRP and were advised to try it again using the BRP USB cable that was supplied to all dealers. That worked. I just...

    Horrible tire wear

    I just took my 2018 RTL in to the dealer a couple weeks ago for the 3000 mi. service and all three tires look nearly new. Unfortunately, over this past weekend, while on a 300 mile road trip, I hit a large rock which put a balloon in the sidewall of the left front tire. Luckily Kenda tires are...

    Soon to be owner needs some advice

    As stated above, these are complex machines and while they are generally quite dependable, when there is a problem, sometimes it can be hard to diagnose and can quickly become expensive, I started with a used 2012 RT Limited which I bought from an individual. It had less than 3000 miles and...

    Laser Alignment

    Jim, since I also live in Az. (Payson) I'm curious who that one person is that you trust for laser alignment. My '18 RTL tracks straight down the road so far, but it would be nice to know for future reference. Dennis
