• 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.

    Is there a special Phone cord for 2020 RT glove box?

    Is there a special cord that needs to be used to plug the phone in? I plugged a cord into the connection in the glovebox and plugged my phone in….it popped and shut the bike down. It started right back up but I haven’t plugged the phone in again. Anyone have this issue? Special cord needed? Did...

    Does it cost this much for Brake fluid change from dealership?

    I had a recall completed on my 2020 RTL recently and inquired about a brake fluid change. I believe it is supposed to be done every two years. Seems the process is long and complicated if ALL the fluid is drained and replaced, including the ABS. I was told it was a 5-6 hour job to complete. At...

    Trailering cover 2020 RTL…what do you use?

    Good morning all. I have a Stinger trailer for my 2020 RTL. I know many people use enclosed trailers…I don’t have that so it’s the Stinger. I notice BRP has a cover for trailering that isn’t supposed to scratch or rub the panels. What experience do you have with a trailering cover? What cover...

    How do I pull fault codes on 2020 RTL?

    I’ve looked here (although the site is running way slow lately and hard to search), on YouTube, the owners manual, and the web and cannot find how to get active codes on my 2020 Spyder RTL. I had the brake recall completed this past Saturday at my dealership and now I’m getting a brake failure...

    2020 RTL - thoughts from the first 200 miles

    First, I have loved my 2013 RTL and decided to upgrade because I found a deal locally. Here are some things I’ve discovered: - The floorboards seem much bigger and longer. This means the brake pedal is much further forward than on my 2013. Not a biggie at all - I just need to adjust. - Much...

    Moving to a 2020 RTL from a 2013 RTL. What do I need to know?

    I had a previous thread where I thought I might buy a 2018 and some suggested moving to a 2020+...so I did. I made a deal on a local 2020 RTL with a few upgrades and will take possession of it in a few days. Are there things I should be aware of with the newer model that vary from the 2013? I do...

    2013 RTL versus 2018 RT?

    Other than the 1330 in the 2018, what are the differences between these two (for those who know) for comfort, reliability, etc. I was thinking I might upgrade to a new model. Or, should I just go straight to a 2020+? Jerry 2013 RTL

    Installed cat-delete on 2013 RTL

    Finally found a cat-delete for the 998 for a reasonable price. I decided to wrap the unit with fiberglass insulation (you can buy the rolls designed for exhaust). This caused some of the connections being a little tighter to get to because it seemed all my clamps holding the insulation down were...

    Do I need Cat delete baffles? If so where from - for 2013 RTL?

    I am in the process of buying a cat delete for my 2013 RTL. The current owner does not have any baffles. Do I need baffles? If so, what size/where might I buy them?

    Spyder engine will not turn over?! What did I miss?

    Just got stranded...2013 RTL had been running fine and driven most days. I stopped at a local place and came back out to find it wouldn't start. In fact, i do not get the warning screen where i need to press the button to start. Battery is near new. It is in neutral. I removed key for a spell...

    What's a good, safe Cruising speed for 998 Spyders?

    I recently read a Facebook post where people listed their average cruising speed for their 1330 (some up to 90mph). I have heard these Rotax engines are high rpm engines. What is a good, safe cruising rpm for the 998. I do about 70mph at 5000 rpm’s. Just curious because I do not want to shorten...

    Good ride with wife today

    The wife has not been on the Spyder for 6 months due to some pain and cold weather - I ride in cold weather with no problem. I will admit it was a learning curve again since she has not ridden with me for so long. Slower take offs from a stop (2013 RTL), more time needed to brake safely (quite...

    Does the RTS seat fit the RTL?

    Was wondering if a 2016 RTS seat fits on a 2013 RTL? It seems it would but just not sure.

    How's your gas mileage???

    I have read that some of you here get really good gas mileage (35+). Most of my driving is done in the city with short stints on the freeway. As such, I only manage to get about 25mpg or so on my 2013 RTL (998). I will admit I drive a little spirited and I am sure that eats up extra gas. I have...

    Oil change fun

    At 63 years old I have changed a lot of oil in my day on countless vehicles. I’m wondering if Can-Am had a meeting to find ways to make it more difficult….maybe two filters in different spots nearly impossible to maneuver the filter out and in. Two oil plugs made of metal that strips out easy...

    2013 RTL cat delete - anyone making them?

    Was interested in a cat delete for my 2013 RTL. Seems like no one is making them any longer. For those that have one, does it make a big difference in heat reduction or increased power? Or, would I be wasting my money having one made? I have read the 1330 does much better with cat delete but...

    Right foot gets hot - okay to block off?

    I see Lamonster sells the block off plate for the right radiator vent. Is there an issue with over heating in hot weather? Texas summers are brutal and do not want to overheat. But, would be nice to have a cooler foot. This is for a 2013 RTL.

    Installed LED headlights....do I need to adjust?

    Installed LED headlights on my 2013 RTL...and they are bright! Love the light. In fact, there is so much light I’m wondering if I will blind people. There is clearly a horizontal line of light in front of me and I did not realize how little light the originals put. In fact, I never noticed a...

    Side panel falls off...

    So, I read a thread last week talking about some side panels that fall off. I thought to myself “How could BRP build these so the panels fall off?” I thought it must be an anomaly that happens to a select few. Well, I discovered they do build panels that fall off even though they seem secure...

    Tricled fenders lights on 2013 RTL

    Good morning all, I purchased the Tricled sequential fenders lights/turn signals from Slingmods. One of the many reasons I bought them was the great video showing install. What I discovered upon install is the RT in their video is much different than mine. The lights fit 2013-2018 and I’m...
