• 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.

    Two '09 SE5s won't start

    Hi everyone, I have two 2009 SE5s that have not been ridden more than a couple times per year for the last five or six years. Due to reasons beyond my control, they have been sitting in the garage for approximately 9 months, on trickle chargers and with Sta-Bil in the fuel tanks. Historically, I...

    Battery dead, won't take charge

    I returned to my FL home in late October, to find both of my '09 SE5s with dead batteries. They were not on battery tenders, but last year, both started right up after sitting idle for 6+ months. This time was only 5 months, and they were dead. I placed each Spyder on a battery tender for 24...

    Looking for reviews of SW FL dealers

    Hi All, Now that the Spyders are down here in Cape Coral, I want to find a dealer to do work, if needed. There are only 2 dealers in the area: Sun Sports Cycles in Ft. Myers, and Florida Motorsports in Naples. I know that quality of service and knowledge of the Spyder varies widely from dealer...

    Had my Spyders hauled to FL, great shipper

    Hi all, We arrived in our home in Cape Coral, FL, on Tuesday, after leaving NH in the pouring rain on 12/27. The Spyders were picked up on 12/26, and were delivered yesterday. I know the question about hauling Spyders has come up here before, and we had a GREAT experience with our shipper, so...

    2 Spyders in a toy hauler?

    I've been collecting bids on UBid to haul my 2 Spyders to FL for the winter. I have one bid from a guy that has a 6x12 toy hauler, who has bid a very competitive rate, and he has stellar feedback. I'm just concerned about the space; a dealer told me I would need, at minimum, a 7x14 trailer...

    Found a coolant puddle under my Spyder...

    Hi all, Took the Spyders out for a short ride today; when we got home, I opened the garage, and saw a coolant puddle on the floor, where my Spyder was parked. I looked underneath mine, and can see the end of a small hose. It was wet around it's edge and was venting (the bike was still hot at...

    BEST Warranty Documentation - what do I get?

    Hi all, After my wife's Spyder showed a DPS Fault/Limp error with just 22 miles on the odometer back on 10/11, we decided to buy the BEST warranty. I called my dealer and bought the 3yr plan for each bike. I sent a check along with the driver who picked up my wife's bike to bring it back to the...

    Spyder is back, healthy

    Just wanted to update everyone on the issue with my wife's Spyder, after it threw a DPS fault and went into Limp mode with 22 miles on odometer last Sunday. Jim from Rte. 3A Motors called Monday morning and told me a truck was on its way to pick up the bike. Truck showed up around 1:30, took...

    I laughed, I cried. I picked up my Spyders today...

    Picked up my Spyders from the dealer today. I got a Full Moon '09 SE5, my wife got a Millennium Yellow '09 SE5. The drive home from the dealer was approx. 52 miles. At around the halfway point, my wife starts beeping her horn; I look in the rearview, and she's waving at me to pull over. We pull...

    Newb question: What do I get with my Spyder?

    I'm going to pick up my Spyders today. What should come with the Spyder? By that I mean, how many keys? Is there a printed Owner's Manual? Any other documentation I should expect? I just want to make sure all pieces are intact before I leave the dealership. Thanks! Keith

    Where can I find the ST-1 Hybrid Helmet?

    Does anyone know if any dealer has the Can-Am ST-1 Hybrid Helmet in stock yet? I've asked 3 dealers - the one who sold me my 2 '09 SE5s, which I pick up tomorrow (but that's another post :2excited:), who said they don't even have pricing info on it yet, so don't expect it until Spring...even...

    Seeking pricing info about B.E.S.T.

    Hi everyone, I'm about to pull the trigger on a pair of '09 SE5s, and I wanted to find out about B.E.S.T. or B.E.S.T Plus coverage. I've been told that the price is negotiable, and that the price varies from dealer to dealer. However, I have no idea what the ballpark is for the different forms...

    SM5/SE5 compared to RS?

    Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew what is different in the RS model over the SM5/SE5. I figure, if there is very little difference except for the name, an '09 could be had for a deep discount. However, if there are changes to the RS that make it a better bike, I wouldn't mind spending...
