• 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.

    Gas mileage 2013 ST

Anyone getting the 40+ in mileage. I'm sure of the numbers. My only concern was that the tank got...

    Blue Tooth Dongle install on 2013 ST Limited

    I'm a little confused on the bluetooth dongle install. When I go to the BRP page showing the dongle it shows it being installed next to the 12 volt outlet. I went to the 12 volt outlet on my Spyder and next to it is a multi pin connector. So my question is two fold; 1) do you just plug the...

    The dealer I purchased my Spyder from called once and then again to purchase my Spyder in Tucson, AZ. They're not looking to trade but to purchase outright. Strange I thought, Is there a shortage of used Spyders? Well, I'm going in to see what the gig is. (Funny, the gal said bring your title, I...

    12 volt socket adding another?

    I have installed a 12 volt socket on the spyder but was thinking the other day it might be nice to have two one on each side of the handlebars. Anybody done this without hiccups, blown fuses etc, thanks.

    BRP R35 Bags

    I've been thinking about getting these bags, although expensive they do look pretty cool, but are they practical? In other words do they handle a lot of extra stuff like the bags on a BMW K1200? Any insight would be appreciated. The dealer quoted me a cost of $1,067 installed. Thanks

    Seat Stud Adjustment

    I got a deal on the Can Am tank bag and installed it yesterday. I have noticed that the seat is now hard to close. I looked at the stud and see that it can be adjusted. Right now I have to turn the key, and press down on the seat to get it open, and its pretty hard. Anyone have the same...

    High Beams/Low Beams

    I just completed my first trip with my cycling buddies. One of the first things they had noticed about the spyder on the highway is that the low beams were not very bright. They suggested that I keep my high beams on at all times. I thought this was a good idea since this had been recommended...

I was going to mount it on the throttle side where the plastic sleeve is between the throttle and the main steering. I was wondering if anyone has used this mount...

    I Did It!

    Thanks to all the info I got on this forum made me feel comfortable getting a SE5 yesterday. Why I even met a spyder owner in my hood that brought his machine and went over his mods. It made buying easy and the savings account lighter. On a brighter note my wife now wants to ride with me, says...

    Installing Battery Tender Leads

    I talked to the dealer rep about installing Battery Tender leads he said it takes a little effort but its not a problem. Not sure what he means by "a little effort". Anyone ever install the leads? Guess it means easily getting to the battery, that might be a problem, thanks

    Spyder SE5 Shifting

    Just looking for some general info. Is the SE shifting automatic like a car or do you hit the paddle shifters. Not a big deal but I can't seem to get info if it shifts without the paddles being hit or it is just automatic. Going for a test ride next week. Thanks
