• 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.

    600mi Break-In not achieved in 1-year?

    I'm embarrassed to say, but I have had my 2014 Can-Am Spyder RS for 1-year now but I have only put on it 432 miles. The Break-In inspection is 600-miles but there's no mention of "and/or X months". Should I do my break-in inspection now or keep riding to 600mis? Thanks.

    2014 RS SM5 - Can not shift in reverse anymore

    Won't shift down to reverse anymore. Yes, I'm pushing the left hand button. I saw something about the F7 fuse on 2012-prior models. I have a "Left" and "Right" fuse panel on my 2014. I checked both F7 fuses, both are good. None of the fuses say anything about Reverse. There is a Reverse...

    Confirmation if BRP Hitches fit RS

    I can't seem to find definitive confirmation whether or not (and why) the BRP ST or RT hitch fits the RS. I saw one post that said Lamonster confirmed it did NOT fit, but I can't imagine why. I'm mostly concerned with the mechanical fit, I can do without the harness/electronics/lighting.

    How to Activate Cruise Control on Base RS

    Wow! I was disassembling my right-hand controls to see how to fab a garage door opener where the cruise control is supposed to be & I found the cruise control electronics & buttons are all there. They basically replace the switch with a dummy switch and put a block off plate over it. You can...

    Large Luggage Rack for RS/ST

    I need to make this work: Any ideas for a rack mount? Some forum member made a fairly large luggage rack for my late YZF600R. Anyone make a large rack for us?

    What else am I missing from my tool kit?

    I just found out our Spyders come with an included tire gauge! Mine certainly didn't come with that. Now I'm looking to see what else I'm missing, it seems I'm also missing the shock wrench. The pockets where they go are pristine & unswelled, so they were never in there. I also saw a pic...

    One of the cheapest & cleanest RAM handlebar mounts (BuyBits/Ultimate Addons)

    It's outrageous that Spyder-specific mounts are going for $80 and up. I read lots of people's ideas on this board. I definitely wanted something that didn't require drilling. Probably the most popular is using the RAM-B-252U base, but I didn't like the offset look and it requires fabricating...

    Adventure Model & AWD/3WD

    So I'm loving my new Spyder! It's actually much better in turns than I expected. Definitely an exciting ryde and haven't pushed the nanny limits yet. Spyders get a bad rep, especially from the 2-wheel crowd. I have some thoughts for BRP to help gain some street cred & exploit the benefits of...

    This wire-loom-looking-thing fell off my brand new Spyder

    I found this stuck in my right front lower control arm after my 2nd ride. I have an all black RS, so the grey is out of place. Looks like a wire loom or a protector for the fender mounts. Not properly cleared out of the way and discarded by the dealer?

    Battery Tender Connector as Standard Equipment?

    First of all, I believe congratulations are in order - I just picked up my first Spyder last night, a black 2014 RS SM5! The pics I took in my garage at night are crap, so you'll have to wait until I get it in the daylight this weekend. So, let's get right into it: I stumbled upon this while...

    About to pull the trigger - some final questions

    Just did a test drive - everything awesome. I'm about to pull the trigger on a rock bottom 2014 RS SM5, which supposedly takes 2-3 weeks to order. What's the invoice price? MSRP of the '14 is $14,899. I got an initial quote of $13,999 + $695 freight, but the sheet says "2013", the dealer...

    Help me decide - RS, RS-S or ST

    Hey guys, I'm a former 2-wheeler but I want to sell/trade-in my 2 bikes for the Spyder for safety reasons. I've been ready to buy the Spyder for almost a year now, but I've been waiting for the weather to warm up so I can test drive them, which I think I'm going to schedule for next weekend...
