• 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.

    C1282 fault on 2012 RT - any simple fixes?

    My new to me 2012 RT (16000kms) has been running well but I've ridden 4000kms in the past month and decided to check the brake fluid levels. All I did was remove the brake master cylinder caps. The levels appeared to be fine so I refitted the caps, started it up and now this C1282 fault code has...

    Is this 2011 Spyder RT with 12000 miles worth it?

    Hi I’ve seen the Spyder above with less than 12000 miles. It would be appear to be in very good condition. The owner is overseas but the bike is being sold locally. I don’t know any of the history although all the service work has been done by a Can Am dealership. What do you think it may be worth?

    Does the Spyder SE have engine braking?

    I’ve been looking around to see if the semi automatic SpYders have any engine braking or is it all dependent on the braking system. I’ve ridden sidecars for years and engine braking and a swift swing of the rear end is often sufficient to scrub off speed. Can the SE models to do something...

    Racks and panniers for Spyders

    I have been searching the web for racks, hard bags and panniers for Spyders and they are few and far between. You would think that considering the amount of them on the road that there would be more flavours available! Have BRP scared them all away or are the rear sub frames too weak to carry...

    Spyder alignment

    While reading a post recently about a Spyder laser alignment I was wondering what else would be done during that service? When I had my own shop many moons ago whenever we did even a minor service we always checked the drive train, brake function and wheels for run out and inspected the tires...

    A question for riders in Canada

    I'm just curious, ryder's south of the border tend to travel at hyper speeds 😉 just kidding of course, but our speeds north of 49th parallel are conservative in comparison! Now my question is can these be driven around town at between 40 to 60 kph or are they only a highway tool?

    How well do the Spyders take to paint?

    I am considering a 2008 Spyder RS dressed in black and silver with some useful goodies but the original plastic might look better in red and black! How well does the plastic accept paint? Any preferred flavours, water based Krylon perhaps?
