• 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.

    Will Tri-Axis bars fit a 2011 RT?

    Does anyone know if the Tri-Axis bars will fit a 2011 RT? The Can Am website only shows back to 2015, and I haven’t been able to find out any more with searching. Thanks

    I’m getting frustrated with the belt vibration - any ideas to help?

    The title sums it up. I have a 2015 RT SE6 which I bought in April and have put 5,000 miles on it so far. Since buying it I avoided the freeways because of the harsh belt vibration starting around 60mph and up to 75 mph. I don’t have a krikit tension measuring tool and am in no way mechanically...

    Belt tension 190 on ground = how much wheel off ground?

    I ask this because I’ve searched and read until my eyes are crossed and not found the answer or formula. I had a new rear tire installed at the dealer and now have a bad belt vibration that can start at 54 mph and continue up to 72 mph (I haven’t tried faster). I want to go into the dealer on...

    Anyone run a Showchrome mudflap with General Altimax 215/60R15 rear tire?

    I have the Showchrome rear mudflap on our 2015 RT and I am beginning to think about replacing the rear tire (Kenda). I’d like to use the General Altimax 215/60R15, but I’m a bit concerning about it rubbing on the mudflap bolts because of the larger diameter of the Altimax verses the Kenda. I’m...

    Sounds like chirping birds at idle on 2015 RT - any ideas on why/what??

    After searching and finding nothing, here’s my issue with my 2015 RT with 7,000 miles on it. When I stop I notice what sounds like birds chirping coming from the front end. The sound is there in gear or in neutral or in reverse. It doesn’t go away by reving the engine. I’m not at all...

    Can I remove clutter on screen of Zumo 590LM? I need help!

    I’ve searched on this forum as well as google as well as the operating manual for the zumo but can’t find the answer so here I am. When I set a destination or even just ride showing the map, it keeps showing me restaurants which really clutters up the screen when you’re in a town. So my question...

    Will Ultimate Passenger backrest interfere with ShowChrome rack/trunk opening?

    I’ve searched without luck to find the answer to my question. We have a 2011 RT. My wife is saying that she wishes she had a bit more room in the back because it feels tighter back there than on a Goldwing. I see that Ultimate sells a passenger backrest and they say it increases the passenger...

    HELP What holds 2019 RT passenger backrest on?

    So today I removed the seat from our 2011 RT because I found a used seat, drivers backrest and passenger backrest from a 2019 RT Limited. Everything went well with no lost nuts or bolts until it came time to install the 2019 passenger backrest. On the 2011 the passenger backrest is held on by 3...

    Just a thought regarding searching on the forum

    I’m posting this realizing that I may get flamed because I’m fairly new…………..However…… Today I was doing searches on fuel range for my 2011 RT. It would really be of assistance on all searches if everyone was kind enough to put their year and model of Spyder or Ryker in their signature. That way...

    Brake lights work with key off - is that right?

    I’ve done a search with no luck. Just picked up a 2011 RT SM5 and noticed that when I turn the key off, the headlights turn off after a few seconds which seems normal. However, when I press the brake pedal the brake lights come on which doesn’t seem normal to me. You’re input is appreciated as...

    Question regarding SM5 transmission

    I’ve searched but can’t really find what I’m looking for. A friend just picked up his 1st Spyder yesterday after 50 years on 2 wheels. It’s a 2013 ST-S SM5 I know about keeping up the revs while upshifting and that doesn’t seem to be as issue with his bike (I did the test ride on it). Here’s the...

    Zumo 660 can't be trusted in my opinion

    My wife and I went away for a nice 5 day/4 night tour of northern Ontario this week. I just bought the spyder not long ago and have had some pretty significant issues due to water intrusion. It took the dealer a week to dry out the fuseboxes, clean them out and get the bike back to me. Since...

    Using cel phone gps vs zumo 660

    I've done a search and althought there are lot's of posts to read, I haven't found what I'm looking for. We had a 2011 Spyder RT and used my cel phone with the gps app Co-Pilot installed on it.

    Caught in the rain - WOW

    I try and avoid rain but today I went for a long ride. Great weather, blue skys etc etc. About 15 miles from home the sky's opened up and it pourd rain all the way home. The 2014 Spyder RT sure seems to throw up a lot more water than my 2011 RT. I was on the highway doing 70 MPH when the rain...

    Important BRP bulletin about cluch replacement

    I'm sharing this because I had the clutch replaced on my 2011 RTS SE5 and ended up selling the bike because it was doing exactly what the bulletin addresses. Unfortunately the dealer didn't see the bulletin and I only came across it after selling the bike.

    Complicated way to get a new to us 2014 Spyder RT Limited

    Hi all: I'll try not to make this a novel but last July we decided that it was time to go to 3 wheels. After a lot of investigation and reading on Spyderlovers, we bought a 2011 RTS SE5 with 18,00 miles on it privately for a really good price. I did the usual upgrades like the baja ron sway bar...
