• 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.

    Flood Damage?

    My garage and basement flooded on Monday, and my four month old RT LTD and my 622 trailer were submerged in Hurricane Sandy flood waters up to the middle of the Spyder's front wheels for about three hours. The bike's front suspension and control arms were submerged, and a small silt deposit was...

    E-Z Pass

    Guys, if travelling through NYC, remember that the TBTA crossings have barrier gates, and if your pass doesn't trip them the TBTA police officer will want you to hand him your pass, as will the 20 morons honking behind you. If riding here mount it where you can reach it.

    XM Satellite

    I also wanted to upgrade to the Zumo 665 from the standard 660 However, while reading the Garmin website, I discovered that although the 660 and 665 mounts look identical, they aren't, and the 665 won't work on the RT's mount.

    Thanks Harry, I have Map Source on my computer as well, and that should solve my problem!

    License Plate Helmet Locks

    Has anyone tried the two lock unit that bolts to the license plate mount? Does it work, and how does it compare to grip mounted helmet locks I see online? The stock setup leaves much to be desired. Thanks.

    Microsoft Streets & Trips 2010 Download to Garmin 660

    I have a 2012 LTD with the factory Garmin 660. I was unable to download a route I created in Streets & Trips 2010 to the unit. I got bounced to a website everytime I tried. Must the Garmin be configured? Do I need a later version? Thanks.

    Utopia Backrest and Comfort Seat

    I have a lava bronze 2012 RT LTD with the black seat. Is this a "comfort seat"? The Utopia site shows different cover materials and I want to be sure to get the correct match.

    Rider to passenger intercom

    Two months using the Scala G9, and I'm less than pleased with the results. The manual is terrible, the voice commands usually don't work, and after finally figuring out that when the manual says purple flashes it really means blue, we managed to get a four way voice hook up working, only to...

    622 Trailer Questions

    Thank you both. That's exactly what I needed to know, and I've avoided an unnecessary trip to the dealer. This forum is the best!

    622 Trailer Questions

    Took delivery of my 622 trailer on Friday, and took a weekend trip right after. I noticed my trailer's back-up lights (the white lights in the cluster) don't work. Am I correct to believe they're designed to function exactly as the bike's do? I also noticed that I need to select "trailer...

    BEST Warranty Plus

    I received the BEST extended warranty as part of the purchase of my RT in July. I just noticed the description of BEST PLus on the Can Am website. Does anyone know what this maintenance inclusive coverage costs, and does it include all scheduled maintenance? Also, can someone provide some...

    Seat Latch Problem

    My 2012 RT's seat latch won't engage. The pin is misalligned with the hole, perhaps the result of my failure to ensure the seat was latched after refueling. Could my weight on the pin have pushed it out of allignment? Is it adjustable? Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Picked up my new oil change access panel and grill

    I picked up my 2012 RT on 7/3. Has the updated panel been installed at the factory on any of the 2012 RTs, or should I expect a letter from Can Am? My dealer knows nothing about it. I plan to do my own work after the inital service this week. Thanks!

    Hydroplaining - Is it an issue?

    Reading through my manual I noticed strongly worded warnings concerning hydroplaining. They basically tell you to pull over if there's water on the road! I've ridden my two wheel bikes in all sorts of weather without a problem for years. Does the Spyder have an issue on wet roads, or is Can...

    Oil Changes - Does it need to be off the ground?

    Great tips, thanks everyone. One thought, if you drive the front up on car ramps, wouldn't it prevent the oil from draining completely?

    Oil Changes - Does it need to be off the ground?

    Brand new Spyder RT owner here. I've always done my own work, and would like to do my oil changes on the RT after the 600 service. Does the Spyder need to be off the ground to access the drain plugs? I already have a Pitbull lift. Will it work on the Spyder? Are any special tools required...

    Buy audio package or scala rider g9 for 2012 rt

    I just bought a 2012 RT (lava bronze LTD) and I have the audio package, but passed on the CB/intercom in favor of the Scala Rider G9. The bike's sound quality is fantastic through the speakers, in fact better than my Gold Wing was. My Ipod plays beautifully, as do the radios. Control is...

    Question??? With all respect.

    I've been riding motorcycles for 40 years and just purchsed my first Spyder (a lava bronze RT). I was ready for something different and safer for myself and my wife, so I reluctantly sold my '06 Gold Wing. Throughout my years of motorcycling I've never failed to acknowledge or enjoy the...
