• 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.

    Unbelievable

    18.9 miles on my Dad's new Spyder, and the engine light comes on. I suppose I should just be grateful that it didn't go into limp mode. I guess they haven't fixed these things. Any ideas on how to check what the problem might be, or at least, if there's a way to look at codes? Thanks

    New Can Am Spyder RS-S

    Well, I picked up my Dad's new red/black RS-S (with the paddles) and drove it back up 95 (I'm in Northern Virginia) to put it up in the garage until he gets here next week. It broke down on the highway!! No, no, just kidding. It was great. I parked it in the garage and bumped a front wheel...

    New Spyder? Still somewhat wary

    So I've had three Spyder's, one 2008 RS, and two 2010 RT's, one of which replaced the RS. The RS was never a problem. The two RT's were a disaster - constant engine lights and limping home. Related to steering, if I recall. Never worked right. So I sold them both. The RS and one of the...

    Trading RT's

    I'm trading both my RT's that I bought in April today. One for a Yamaha FJR1300A for me, and a Spyder RS for my dad. My RT has spent most of the last 3 months in the shop, and my dad's is now having the same trouble with module communications. Third time mine has been in the shop with the...

    Continuation of my sad story

    So, I got my Spyder RT-S back from the dealership. It was in for the second time after showing DPS/VSS/engine lights and going in to limp mode. They told me the fault was listed as "not externally diagnosable" and that BRP told them to reset the communication system (the fault was with the...

    RECC - blue?

    Every now and then my RECC screen becomes blue, instead of the usual grey. What is this supposed to mean?

    Gas odor

    I noticed yesterday while riding that my dad's blue RT seemed to smell a bit of gas. I had filled the tank to the top, though I still smelled the gas after 35 miles riding, which should have lowered the level by a gallon or so. It was a hot day yesterday (maybe 90 degrees). What do you...

    DPS issue

    So, the good news and the bad news: 1) I got my Spyder RT-S (limited edition). I'd ordered an audio and convenience, but the shop kindly upgraded me to the ltd edition at no additional cost 2) The bad news. About 100 miles on the odometer the bike threw a code while running at about 50...

    Amtrak Autotrain

    Does anyone know if Amtrak will take Spyders (my Dad and I each have a Spyder RT due for delivery in April) on the Autotrain between Lorton, VA and Sanford, FL? Thanks, Ben

    Spyder newbie - belt tension

    Hi - just got a Spyder a few months ago. I do all the work on my HD, and have just (about) finished the 600 mile service on the Spyder. However, I've run into a problem on belt tension, specifically. Belt alignment doesn't seem too difficult, but belt tension does. I've reviewed the...
