• 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.

    Passenger Backrest - Anyone modified one?

    I had mine reshaped at an auto upholstery shop to provide more of a lumbar support. They charged about $60.

    Is this the VSS not working? Anyone experienced it before? What came of it?

    Everything Peter said above, and also, being a SM6 model, don't forget that popping the clutch while turning will generate a wheelie!!

    New Spyder sold with no factory warranty - is this right? What say you all?

    What's done is done. Since it's a leftover 2023 model, be prepared to replace the battery soon. There's a reason they only warranty them for 6 months. Other than that, be prepared to really enjoy riding your new Spyder!!

    RT driver view 13-19 vs 20-25

    You owe it to yourself to try one. I had a 2015 RTL and currently have a 2020RTL. The biggest change, in my opinion, is the seating/riding position.

    Is there any way to keep the windshield up instead of raising it each ride?

    Not sure about 2024, but 2020-2023 RT's the windshield will return to the last position it was in when the bike was turned off. It will move to the lowest position at shutdown.

    Where can I get a 2010 RT parking brake cable? Any other options?

    The 2010 RT parking brake adjustment is done through the rear parking brake pulley. It is splined. If the proper adjustment can't be made, you remove the pulley and move it one spline at a time until proper adjustment is met. Check the service manual for the procedure.

    New keys, maintenance, and upgrade items, etc. Any tips/advice?

    To answer your question, NO you cannot program an original BRP key yourself without BUDS. With BUDS it's a very simple procedure as long as you have an original key. Anyone that can accurately cut a key can cut a new BRP key to turn in the lock barrels. Also, in order to disable the security...

    What maintenance tasks are proprietary?

    I have BUDS with the Mechantronic license. I'm also an independent Spyder mechanic. I'm not aware of any maintenance tasks that are "coded". As many have stated above, there are tasks that require BUDS to do correctly/thoroughly. There are numerous troubleshooting tasks that require special...

    New 10.25 screen update on Oct 7, 2024 - What new features did it add?

    Don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but there's a new version of BUDS2 out today. It wouldn't surprise me if you needed BUDS to install the update. I don't have a 24 to try it on...

    First time installing battery in a 1330 - couldn't get top bracket right!

    In the future, when you remove the battery, take piece of tape and secure the bracket in place before you put the battery back in. Then you can just remove the tape and lower the bracket down onto the battery and attach the rubber bungee.

    Anyone know anything about BUDS1 OBD diagnostics units & availability?

    BUDS is the software. The interface module simply allows your computer to communicate with the Spyder. So if you get the interface module, you can run either BUDS or BUDS2.

    Mounting a tire on my Spyder - things I'll verify

    I've done numerous rear tire changes on Spyders. The easiest method to preserve belt alignment and tension is to simply tape from the top of the swingarm around the back of the adjusters, and to the bottom of the swingarm on both sides BEFORE you remove the axle bolt. This way the adjusters...

    Is it possible to re-flash the Instrument Cluster firmware?

    Starting with the 2024 models, updates could be downloaded and installed over wifi. From the 2017-2023 model years updates are only possible through BUDS2. Prior to 2016 models, BUDS is used to diagnose, service, and update the various systems. Any software/firmware updates for model years prior...

    Is it possible to re-flash the Instrument Cluster firmware?

    It IS possible but you may have a hard time getting the firmware file. It will probably have to be obtained from a dealer. This is because as a retail customer of BUDS, you do not have access to the Can Am in-house support system, called "Bossweb". If you have the most current version of BUDS...

    Here's the Innovv N1 Pro on a 2021 F3. I only captured the startup screen to protect the owners' privacy, but it is a full Apple Car Play and Android Auto unit, plus dashcam that can be used as a backup camera.
