• 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.

    Replacement front tires

    I have one damaged front tire on my 2015 RS SM5 and I'm looking to replace both fronts to keep them the same. Searching through the forum for replacements, the one to get seems to be the Kumho KH16, in a different size than the standard Kenda 165/55R15. I see 18# was mentioned for these. They...

    Your Spyder can hop an Axe at 65 MPH

    I got a pretty good scare on the way home from work today. Driving on the expressway an Axe was laying in the middle of the road. It came up pretty quick and there was no way to avoid it. I managed to get it to go between my front wheels, but the back tire went right over it. When I drove over...

    SM5 Manual Black Billet Aluminum shifter extension kit

    I had to finally give up on the Rivco Heal Toe Shifter for my RS SM5 manual. Using Rivco floorboards to change my seating position means the stock shifter is too low to get my foot under. With the Rivco shifter, I experienced problems shifting into 2nd and tried everything I could to get it...

    Yes, I put RT handlebars on my SM5 RS

    It rides like a Big Wheel now, just love it. 😀 The only problem is the shifter is in the way of the cover on the left handlebar, I'm going to have to brush off my arts and craft skills and cut me some plastic. With the floorboards, heal toe shifter and the smooth Spyder back rest is more...

    Dangerous, Stupid mistake

    Every once and awhile we all think that we have this motorcycle riding thing down. We are riding a Spyder and think we are inherently "safer". We start paying more attention to the clutch problem or the latest farkle we just installed instead of looking at the road in front of us. We have been...

    RS SM5 trouble shifting into 2nd

    I've been having a problem shifting into second that has been getting worse over time. It will not go into second with out jamming it several times. I've read about the oil causing an issue so I checked it, no problems with that. All the other gears I have no problems with. It will also shift...

    Crazy display

    I noticed something strange today. While driving if a press the instrument display the screen flashes every light, resets and displays 'check engine" then clears up and goes back to normal. It's a 2015 RS, anyone ever seen this before? The Spyder acts normal other than that, it never skips a...

    2015 RS beep

    When I turn the ignition of on my Spyder off, I hear a soft, very low beep. I don't even need to ride it to hear, just turning the key on then off, and the noise starts. It's bearly noticeable, might last for about 15 minutes. Any ideas? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Is there a known cure for farkling...

    My RS is beginning to feel like an ST. I just installed the Rivco passenger boards to match the driver floorboards. Its a big difference from the stock setup, I like the idea the driver boards also have pegs so I have a few different seating positions. I'm hoping this farkling disease has a...

    Foot peg extensions for 2015 RS

    I'm running into trouble finding foot peg extensions for my 2015 Spyder RS. I see two systems out there but, its unclear if they would fit the newer 2015. A few of the postings show that they fit on only 2013 and below. I'm not sure if anything has changed? Genuine Can Am Spyder RS /...

    Rivco Floorboards and Heel-Toe Shifter

    Rivco Floorboards, Heel-Toe Shifter and Lamonster highway brackets I've been looking for a better riding position since getting my 2015 RS. My first attempt at more comfort was to install Lamonster highway brackets with black Trident pegs. This is a very well made product. The install was...

    2015 RS panel removal

    I'm in need of some instructions so I can remove the side panels to install highway pegs. Specifically that pan underneath, that's where I'm at now. I see lots of stuff for RTs out there, nothing for a new RS. I'm not looking to break anything and would rather not guess.

    2015 RS seat

    I am having trouble figuring out if a CanAm 219400153 seat fits on my 2015 RS. Was there changes? The model number listed as a replacement seat is different, but they look the same. I can get a good deal on the 219400153. Also, anyone have any experience with the tall boy ultimate seat on an...

    Snow or trailer?
