• 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.

    Help! 2012 RT Limited - won't start, stuck out on the Cape

    I have a 2012 RT Limited - rode it about 200 miles out here on Saturday and have ridden it every day since. Parked it last night and no issues. Went out to start it to run down to the store and it won't start. It acts like the kill switch has been set, but that's not the case (double, triple...

    Frunk open - latch stuck in closed position

    Help! My frunk is open, but the latch is stuck in the closed position (my son was playing with it while it was open). I've tried the obvious but it did no good (pushing down and turning the key and using the electronic button). I thought about beating the child but figured that might make me...

    I shared a story on Can-Am's Facebook page and was told I should share here also

    Here it is - as I posted it on their Facebook page: I just wanted to post a testament to how easy it is to learn to ride a Spyder. I bought mine back in March and love it. I'm up in CT, but my parents live in GA. My mom turned 70 on Saturday. To surprise her, I rode down to visit on my...

    Anyone else have a rear shock blow out after only about 6000 miles?

    I just got back from a ride to GA and back (from CT) and about halfway down, the shock went. When I got down there, I called the emergency number BRP gave me and all they did was give me the number for the closest dealer. I called them and they wouldn't be able to get the parts in time to get...

    Going for my first LONG ride and looking for any advice you may have...

    I've been on plenty of trips up to about three hours each way but I'm getting ready to take the bike down to Georgia to visit my folks. It's close to 1000 miles each way and since it's my first really long ride, I thought I'd ask the experts here and see if anyone has any particular...

    Frunk not closing well

    Has anyone else had a problem with the frunk not closing well? I have a 2012 RT Limited (bought new in March). It used to close just fine but I find that now in order to get it to close (and latch) I really have to slam it pretty hard. If anyone else HAS had this problem, do you know if...

    This may have come up before, but if so I couldn't find it...

    Am I the only weird person that has named their bike? My wife certainly thinks it's kind of strange (but then she thinks I'm a bit off anyway). I named mine Mia - after Mia Tyler (she's a plus-sized model, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith's daughter and Liv Tyler's sister). I figure my Mia is just...

    Has anyone had issues with the GPS that comes with the Limited?

    I've had the Spyder for about two months now. After the first month or so I started to get a horrible screeching sound coming out of my speakers. It quit by itself after about thirty seconds but then about an hour later it started again after I had shut the bike off to get gas and I found that...

    Drove up to Americade today and had my Ultimate seat installed...

    ...it's about three hours each way so I had plenty of time to try it out on the way back...and it really is as nice as everyone said!!! Incredibly comfortable and I LOVE the way it looks. While I was there I had tons of people stopping to look and compliment the way it looks and even had two...

    We took our longest ride so far...

    ...rode up to Rockport, MA and stayed in a B&B for a couple of nights for a combined birthday present to ourselves. This is also our first time using the luggage that came with the Limited. I honestly never thought I'd use it and even if I did I didn't really think I'd think that much of it...

    I'm about to order a new seat and am leaning towards the Ultimate...

    ...but I have a question for those that already have them. I'm looking at the tan ostrich-skin-look one (my RT is lava bronze and I've seen the pictures with it on and love the look) but this is my question: their website says that it is not leather (some kind of vinyl I assume?) and that it's...

    I know, this is a weird question...

    ...so bear with me. I don't have a garage so I recently bought one of those "pop up" shed/tent things to put my Spyder and my motorcycle in. It does a great job of keeping the elements off the bike, but it's not "animal proof". We have a cat (not ours, a neighborhood cat) that for some reason...

    Anyone else have problems with the Sena headsets?

    I bought the SMH10 back in September from Amazon. It was defective (and it was verified through the Sena support area - it would receive information but not send any sound). I only had it for approximately two weeks (it never worked) so I returned it to Amazon and had it replaced with another...

    Antenna help!

    I took my 16 year old for a ride this afternoon because it was beautiful out. He's been out with me before, but for some reason, this time he decided to swing his foot over the back of the bike to get off :yikes:. :gaah: :banghead: NOT a good idea!! He broke the antenna completely. I...

    Found something new for my keys and thought others might be interested.

    I ran across a thread somewhere here about different ways to put your keys on a keychain without drilling into them or using the "holder" that comes with them. I can't find it again, so I thought I'd post this here instead. I wanted something different than anything else I'd seen (though there...

    Picked up my 2012 RT Limited today

    I picked up my 2012 RT Limited in Lava Bronze today and put about 150 miles on it. Looking forward to putting on a lot more!! I have a question though for anyone with the Limited - can the Garmin GPS sound (the voice giving directions) come through the sound system on the bike itself? If it...

    Just gave them my downpayment yesterday...

    ...on a 2012 RT Limited. I got into riding late (just turned 52 and only took a course and rode for the first time last September). I bought a 2005 Honda Shadow Aero at the time and am trying to decide if I want to keep that along with the Spyder or just go with the Spyder. Since I don't have...
