• 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.

    Most amount of miles/KM you have ridden in one day on the Spyder

    Hey folks. I would love to know the most amount of miles or KM you have ridden on your Spyder in one day. And did any of you drive all night long. Just share Spyder miles, not miles on another type of motorcycle. But do share any great stories about where you went or why you went so long at once.

    Did a little experimenting with MPGs

    I went for an 8 hour ride this weekend and am still learning my 2021 RT Limited. Basically, I learned that with constant speeds from 30 - 55 mph, I can get 40 - 41 mpg per the computer. There was no difference if I was going 30 or 55 mph. Once I hit 60 mph to 38 65 and over, down to about...

    What are your thoughts on a Front wheel drive Spyder?

    I was cruising this past weekend on my Spyder, letting my mind wander a bit, and thought about our drivetrain. Right now we use a looooong belt to drive the rear tire . There has been a lot of discussion about a shaft drive but I don't recall anyone ever mentioning a front wheel drive setup...

    A Spyder and a Ryker, who has both and why

    I love my 2021 RT Limited but am always casting a wondering eye over at those Rykers. The go-cart fun and the endless customization call my name. But then I wake up and think, do I really need TWO three wheel machines? Would my wife leave me over this? :) Does anyone else experience this...

    I have a problem with Dishonest Dealers!

    OK venting here. I took my Spyder in for an oil change, replace the seat shock, check out the squeak in my brakes, and to rewire a light from the battery to the the accessory switch. After 5 weeks, they got MOST of the work done. Never got to the brakes - fine. They say they did the oil...

    Extra fuel idea - what do you think?

    Hey folks, I have an idea and what to run it by the expert minds we have here on the forum. I have been considering ways to carry extra fuel for longer runs and for peace of mind. Some carry fuel on the back seat, some on the rear luggage rack, etc. What about using the rear floor boards...

    2nd oil change, 9300 miles or 1 year

    Hello all. I need some advice. Because of some surgery, I was not able to ride much in the last year but am ready to go now. I only put on 1000 miles in the last year. The owners manual says oil changes at 9300 mile intervals or 1 year. How serious is that 1 year mark? Is the mileage or...

    MPG oddity on 2021 RTL

    The strangest thing happened to me this last week. I filled up my gas tank and reset both Trip 1 and Trip 2 back to zero. As I rode for the next 100 miles, Trip 2 was accurately reporting miles driven and approximate MPG. Trip 1 on the other hand was completely crazy. It started out saying I...

    Frunk not always popping open with key - anyone else? Fix?

    Is anyone else having this issue? Maybe I just have the wrong expectation. I turn the key to pop the front, hear something pop, and walk around the front of the Spyder to open the frunk and it is still not unlocked. So I go back and have to unlock the frunk again, and this time reach around...

    Handlebar controls lighting

    Question for you on the 2020+ RTL. On my handlebar controls, only certain buttons are backlit. For example, on the left, only the joystick has an orange light around it. The turn indicators and bright lights switch are not back lit. Is that just mine or are everyone's like that?

    Hey guys, from the Smoakes video, what I hear the differences in the 2021 late models are: * new pully or belt design to be quieter and less squeal noise * new sound absorption in the body to separate engine and belt noise * new mirror mounts * new colors? This could be just the Sea to Sky...

    Slingmods floorboard lighting

    Hey guys, Slingmods has come up with a lighted floorboard solution like the one that is now offered on the 2021 Spyders. But Slingmods version will blink yellow with your turn indicator. What do you think? Will it be as durable as the BRP solution? Is the extra bling worth the install time...

    2021 RT Limited Colors

    Hey folks, I am holding out for 2021 RT Limited (My wife says I have to wait until I turn 50) but was wondering if Can Am normally changes their colors from year to year. Is that normal? Should we expect some new colors or some colors to disappear? You old-timers should have some good...

    Spyder group riding etiquette

    I have a question for you folks out there in the know. When riding motorcycles in groups, we stagger, with lead rider on the inside closest to the center lane. Then all the other riders stagger for safety reasons. What do you do if a Spyder is in the mix with other motorcycle riders? It is...
