• 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.

    2021 Seat and Trunk Shock Replacement - Done (Easily)!

    I have done a lot of work on the bike - and although it's really not bad bike to work on, I just didn't feel like doing what I thought would be a PIA job replacing the trunk and shock seat. I had the parts, but why do today what I can put off till tomorrow, right? But a trunk rack and seat pad...

    ECM/Dash Firmware Update - fixed night/day & hot start issues!

    HI All, Just had my dash firmware updated and it is much better. My 21 RT couldn't seem to stay on day or night mode during the day - and it was real frustrating. The new firmware improves the light sensor and it now stays on day and appropriately switches to night mode :) The ECM firmware...

    ECM and 50.1 Dash Firmware Update - BRP Notification Info Needed?

    I called my dealer and requested ECM and 50.1 Dash Firmware for my 2021 Spyder RTL and they couldn't find any thing on it. They asked if I had a Service Bulletin or any notification. Does anyone know of any communication from BRP that I could reference? Thanks!

    Installed RLS Cat Delete and Power Vision 3 Tune

    I installed RLS's Cat Delete this afternoon. I used a Harbor Freight Motorcycle Lift https://www.harborfreight.com/1500-lb-aluminum-atv-motorcycle-lift-63397.html - which does an awesome job. Great deal for $199! It easily balances the bike and gets the front and back wheels off the ground at...

    BUDS - does it stop at license expiry, or just stop getting updates?

    I have a 2021 Spyder RT-L. Prior to that I had a BMW R1200GSA. For the GSA, I had GS-911 which could read and reset error codes, perform diagnostics, etc. It was really cool. It did not need updating or expensive annual software updates. Does BUDS stop working after a year or just stop...

    https://www.canamspyderaccessories.com/2020-and-up-rt-series-halo-skid-multi-colors/ - Hi all, The Halo Skid looks like a cool product. They say it protects the bike. Does it reduce ground clearance? Does it complicate oil changes and routine maintenance? I'd love to hear from some who have...

    Here's My Backup Camera!

    I am liking my Can Am more and more. (It definitely takes some getting used to coming from 2 wheels.) As a side note, my wife just got her license (never driven a bike before) and took to it easily. One of the things I have found difficult is backing up. Well, not the backing up part, that is...

    HowTo: RT Passenger armrest drink holder install

    I took a different approach. I had already ordered a passenger drink holder from Slingmods - only to find out it is not compatible with eh passenger armrests. No worries, just drill the armrest to accept the 1" ball stud and viola! See below:

    Pedal Commander - and other musings

    Transitioning from 2-wheel bikes (BMW R1200 GS Adventure and 2018 Honda Goldwing Tour DCT, I was disappointed with the CanAm's performance and sporty feel. Sure, I can twist the throttle farther and faster - but it just didn't do it for me. After reading several reviews, I bought one...

    Strike 4 Against My Dealer

    I test road a Sea to Sky and liked it (except for the color). The dealer didn’t have any others and it would be a month or more to get one, so I ended up purchasing a Marsala Red Dark edition, just what I wanted, from another dealer an hour away. It was the easiest sale the dealer ever had. I...

    Pedal Commander Waterproof Mount?

    Hi all, I am installing a Pedal Commander (I am not liking the throttle response or distance I have to turn it). I'd prefer to have it on my handlebars - but do get caught in the rain occasionally. It is currently on sale at SlingMods so I pulled the trigger. I ordered it with the handlebar...

    A Weird One With My Grips

    I have a 21 RT Limited. I pulled the grips to install the BRP adjustable handlebar riser. Piece of cake. Nice option. When I re-installed the grips and tightened them properly, I found they both turn, just slightly, perhaps a quarter inch. They do not seem loose and they stop firmly when I...

    Observations after first 300 miles

    Hi all, I have been riding for a long time on BMW GSs, Triumphs, Hondas and a bunch of trail and dual sport bikes. A knee injury and 5 surgeries do not let me ride a regular 2-wheeler. So, last week, after test driving a Sea to Sky, I bought a 2021 RT Limited in Deep Marsala Metallic - Dark...

    21 RT Limited GPS Plug

    I searched the forum and didn't find what I was looking for. I just purchased a Garmin Zumo XT and plan on wiring it to the stock GPS Plug. Do I need to buy the "mating" plug (to plug into what Can Am gives us)? I'd rather plug in than "positap" into it. Also, has anyone used the Robert...
