• 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.

    Anyone tried BRP's Adjustable Sport Windscreen on their RT?

    Anyone install this? I found the stock windscreen all-the-way down is fairly loud-wind-noise at highway speeds, and the wind hits at about the eye-level (for me) for sake of comparison. Looking at the specs, I think the wind would hit around upper-chest level? How would wind-noise be?

    RT vs RT-Ltd - Lin-Q/trunk removal & effect on wind?

    Still haven't bought yet until the crypto-winter is over (for those who know, as it follows the failing Nasdaq.. politics aside).. so I do NOT own any Spyder at this time. I am familiar with the Spyder line, however, as I've owned a 2013 RS-S and RT-L with the older Rotax 998.. I believe the...

    2023 Model lineup available

    https://can-am.brp.com/on-road/us/en/models.html Same colors again, with red being "platine" which, I think is French for "platinum", but it looks the same as before except Sea to Sky RT is now dark green like in 2021 again. F3-S Special Series has a Kermit-green-ish color and a muted-blue on...

    LinQ on RT Ltd - anyone taken off the box & added rear cowl? How hard?

    Seems the RT-Limited has the Lin-Q system already installed with the passenger rear seat setup and that you can change that out with a solo-cowl option so it looks more like the RT-Standard Has anyone tried to do this and how hard is it?

    F3 Limited review 2019

    On the fence on an RT-L or F3-L and the dealership had one F3-L with 5k miles on it (orange) 2019 "special series" I believe so I took it out for a quick spin. This bike reminds me of my 2013 RS-S in many ways, with feet being slightly forward. Brake pedal is concerningly forward where I...

    Has anyone escaped BRP-GO mandatory Apps successfully?

    So.. thinking about a new RT-L and I've noticed it's packaged with BRP-GO which has its proprietary Apps no one's heard of (ie., no Waze, Google Maps, Pandora, etc.). The ones it does come with, which looks like DashRadio, AccuWeather, and 2 no-name GPS apps from 1997 do not seem savory. I...

    RT-L vs F3-L wind protection question

    Hard to tell, and there are seemingly no dealers in Colorado except Lakewood which aren't allowing test-rides, so.. The RT-L and F3-L seem to be quite similar, though there are some notable ergonomic differences, in particular the seating position is seemingly lower and more "into" the F3 than...

    2019 RT Limited Options vs Standard

    Can't seem to find options for the 2019 RT-Limited on the BRP website anymore, though I'm looking to buy a gray dark-edition one. I noticed there are placeholders for various switches but not all RT-Limited Spyders use these all. Since there's 5 switch locations, what would those be normally...

    2019 vs 2020 RT Limited?

    So.. it's been a long time since I've owned my RS-S 2013 (and RT-S) which I sold in 2016 but... I believe nothing has changed much from 2013 to 2019 except for the Rotax engine going to 1330 cc and the RS-S dropped in favor of the Ryker 660 model. I had switched to standard bikes again (Honda...

    Hard nut to crack

    Anyone know how to get inside the upper-pod of the RS-S carefully? Thought about putting small rare-earth-magnet speakers where the "vents" are at. Seems a logical place, no?

    Hybrid?

    It's been 5 years and I haven't seen the Hybrid Spyder RS released yet. It's supposed to have 20 miles electric range, supposedly. Still getting dusty on their web-page. Anyone ever get a prototype?

    Brake fluid leak rear? 2013 RS-S

    Noiced this after a hot ride (about 90 deg. for an hour). Seems like brake fluid. Is this a normal overflow? Seems about a tablespoon or so. Wasn't hot or anything. Reservoir looked fine. Have not received a "brake failure" warning message (though I had one in the winter and added...

    ST seat on an RS?

    Looking at the 2013 and 2014 ST-S models, it seems they might actually fit on the RS-S 2013. They have the same shape when measured. Does anyone think these might fit as a replacement? I have the comfort-seat (OEM) and it's.. meh.. The ST seat is superior.

    Beat Up

    Rode my 2013 RS-S (stock) during 45mph winds on my 3rd ride on it. Rather sore in the upper shoulders being too stiff. That wind, not to mention rain and hail, though lower body stayed relatively dry. Reminded me of holding on to a 1972 Honda CB 450 Hellcat. It was the meager windshield to...

    Optimistic ambient temperature

    I've noticed by ambient temperature reading on the digital display of my RS-S is usually 20 degrees optimistic, give-or-take. Anyone notice this?

    Tach and Speedo Brightness adjust?

    Is there a way to increase the brightness of the speedo and tachometer backlight? The TIFF screen is pretty but the speedo and tach are quite dim, even at night.

    Nothing Buttons?

    Noticed above my TIFF display on my 2013 RS-S that there's two nodule buttons that don't do anything. Are these a throwback from the old LCD screen?

    Windscreen Wars

    So, there's a few out there for the RS. The F1 EVO III is no longer made as "Marcel" went back to Europe I think. I'm looking at buying one with a hint more protection. There's no "Double Bubble" screens yet by "Hot Bodies" or Lockhart-Phillips, sadly, and Memphis Shades doesn't seem to be...

    That whacky TIFF speedo (no bathingsuits, sorry ladies)

    So I have the 2013 RS-S and it shares the center whacky TIFF-color screen in the center. My wife's RT-S has a few more features such as the radio and the AUX jack option, but it's essentially the same deal. 2 Questions: 1) I suspect there's additional plug-ins into this unit, either by...
