• 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.

    crotch numbness

    +1 But if you don't want to have to mess with the powder on long rides, get a pair of quality wicking material undershorts ("base layer") like the LD's. Not cheap at $50/pair, but they have no seams, absorb moisture to prevent the dreaded "Monkey Butt" without having to use powders, and you...

    crotch numbness

    I'm sorry to have to say this, but I just can't ignore it. So if anybody wants to ban me from the forum for it, so be it. The above is simply NOT an accurate statement and should NOT be allowed in any forum reply to someone asking for FACTUAL information to their question. We have a saying in...

    HAVE YOU TRIED?? ***MERLIN'S BLOOD WHEEL CLEANER*** BY TIRE GRAFIXX

    Is it just for the chrome wheels? Or can you use it on a Dark RT wheel?

    Just got the New Version V20.80 Firmware on my 2018 RT

    Mine didn't. They didn't even know the update was available for the RT. Their computer data bases only told them it was for the F3's. And a VIN number check said there were no updates for my RT either. It's a disconnect between Can-Am and the dealer's computer databases. I had to tell them...

    crotch numbness

    :agree: Buns of Steel definitely help. When I got my Spyder I hadn't ridden in almost 3 years since my accident and recovery time. I had Buns of Butter when I bought my Spyder, but I'm still gonna get another Russell Day Long 'cos it worked so well for me on my last bike. And start getting...

    programming key

    I might be wrong because of my limited experience with Spyders, but the Owners Manual says you need to take the SECOND ("spare") key that came with the Spyder to a dealer for them to do it. And if you don't have the "spare key" (lost them both?) you are out of luck and have to replace the...

    crotch numbness

    :agree: Which bike also? RT? F3? Seat ergonomics can be different. My 2018 RTL seat is way too big and soft for my butt and after about 150 miles begins to feel like my tailbone is being shoved up my throat. I have an appointment to get a new custom seat like I did for my last motorcycle...

    BRP Connect issues

    It might be sad, but it's realistic if you understand some of the reasons it isn't done that way for many "devices" like cars too. Once you give the end-user the ability to access the programming of the "device", all kinds of fun (and illegal) things can start happening. Like rolling back the...

    Test rode my first RT

    My 2018 RTL is 5 weeks old. My first 3-wheeler. Prior to that my most recent riding had been on a Honda V-Twin 700cc 580-lb sport tourer I had 85K miles on in 5 years (before a non-fault accident ended that 3 years ago). The first week I owned my Spyder I experienced EVERYTHING you are saying...

    Clunk When putting into Gear - is it normal, or what?

    Heck, at my age I clunk when I swing my leg over the Spyder to get on it. Whether I'm warm or not. :)

    New Toy

    Welcome to Spyderdom! :congrats: My 2018 RTL is only 4 weeks old. Can still feel a bit strange after all the years on 2-wheelers, but give it time and you're gonna have a blast riding it. My hardest thing getting used to was the feeling in turns it wanted to throw me off the side of the...

    Brp came through!!! Bluetooth stuff works now!!!

    So you're saying you can get your phone to use Google Maps and stream the voice directions to your helmet now? I know you wouldn't see any maps displayed on the dash, but that's all I might want if I was going to use a GPS. And just curious...are you still plugging the phone into the frunk USB...

    BRP Connect issues

    :agree: It's not the same as what I described about the Gold Wing. As billybovine said, there is NOTHING wrong with the new digital dash itself. It works fine for all the displays it is designed to show. It's the BRP Connect "app" that needs to be slaughtered and rebuilt so it will work...

    BRP Connect issues

    Truth be told, I'm not all that upset about the whole issue to be honest. I never bought my 2018 RTL because it had a dashboard I could connect a cell phone or GPS to. I never used a GPS on my previous 2-wheel Honda for the 5 years and 85K miles I rode it. I had a Bluetooth helmet and my...

    RTL MPG Question

    I'm looking forward to my appointment with them Wednesday for the BajaRon bar and a laser alignment. Planned on picking their brains too about how to do some other "stuff" I want for my Spyder while I'm there.

    What comes with new purchase

    I bought my 2018 RTL 4 weeks ago. Don't even think about paying anything near that $32K list price. Can-Am reduced the prices of ALL the 2019's to try to increase volume sales. Dealers are getting a MINIMUM of a $5500 rebate from Can-Am so the dealers can sell remaining in-stock 2018's at a...

    BRP Connect issues

    I've got the Cardo Freecom4+ on my Shoei. There was an update for it which I installed, and I redownloaded/reinstalled both the iPhone Cardo Connect and BRP apps for my iPhone. The BRP app doesn't show Cardo Connect as being an available app yet, so there is no way for me to get it to add into...

    RTL MPG Question

    See picture below. There are 2 "trip" tabs (A and B) you can use/view for individual trips. The 3rd "Total" tab is cumulative for the life of your Spyder. You cycle through the Tabs by pushing the thumb controller to the right. You can NOT reset the TOTAL mileage on the Spyder in the...

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

    On left side of the digital dashboard, just right of the fuel gauge. And you don't even need a microscope to read it. It might even indicate over 200 miles remaining if you just filled up the Spyder and you aren't moving yet. But once you start moving, that fantasy will quickly end. :clap:
