• 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.

    Smoothspyder vs Roadster Renovations Belt Tensioners

    I have a 2011 RT Limited with a Smoothspyder belt tensioner installed. I have had it on for a few years now and it seems to help reduce belt vibrations. This device is designed to place tension on the bottom of the belt. I now see that Roadster Renovations has a belt tensioner that is...

    My Spyder is suffering from HBS

    Howling Belt Syndrome... :( I have a 2011 Spyder RT Limited with approx. 14K miles. Last Fall I had the rear tire replaced with an OEM tire. Soon after I started noticing a howling noise coming from the left rear of the bike that starts around 42 MPH, peaks at 45 and disappears again at 47...

    ACS Compressor question

    I have a 2011 RT Limited. I normally ride with a full helmet but with the much warmer temps here in Florida I have been using my half helmet which allows me to hear more of the bike noises. It seems that when I start the bike the ACS compressor runs for several seconds then as I am riding I...

    Canisterectomy on a RT - Need help

    I have been having an ongoing issue with gas fumes in our garage after long rides. Today we took a 50 mile ride and started with a half tank of gas. When we got back the Spyder was garaged and not refueled. Went out to the garage about 20 minutes later and gas fumes was bad enough I had open...

    Spyderfest 2013 Group Photo

    Amy and I were thinking how nice it would be to get a group photo of all the Spyderfest attendees this year. One thought was to use grass paint and spell out "Spyderfest US 2013" on a large open area, maybe Finley River Park then have everyone take a spot on the lines for a photo. The camera...

    New Gas Cap & Corbin Seat Gas Door

    I installed the new gas cap on our 2011 RT Limited. Went to the gas station to fuel up and noticed the Corbin seat gas door wouldn't close properly after puting the gas cap back on. Come to find out if the cap handle is left in a horizontal position the door hinge hits the gas cap. The cap...

    Merry Christmas from Florida

    This will be our first Christmas in Florida. We lived in the midwest most of our lives and typically had snow and ice during this time. It's a nice change to see green grass and palm trees. First time we ever rode around looking at Christmas lights on our Spyder. Hope everyone has a Merry...

    TicLed Foam Grips vs. Original Grip Buddies

    TicLed Foam Grips vs. Grip Puppies Just wondering if the TricLed slip-on foam grips were the same as Grip Puppies. I had a set of Grip Puppies on my RT Limited last year. They were okay except in the rain. It was like holding on to two wet sponges while riding. This year I put on a set of...

    Florida Tag for RT-622 Trailer

    I have a RT-622 trailer that was originally titled in Illinois. We moved to Florida a couple months ago and need to get a Florida plate since the Illinois one is about to expire. I went to the DMV to start the process and was told I had to have the trailer weighed on a scale first. I have never...

    Tire pressure for long trips

    Just wondering what I should set my tire pressure to for long highway speed rides. I normally have the front tires at 17 psi and rear 28 psi with cold tires. During long rides at highway speeds on warm days the tire pressure can rise several psi higher. Should I lower the psi knowing the...

    Adjusting belt tension with trailer hitch

    Can the belt tension screws on a RT be adjusted without removing the trailer hitch? It appears to me that it would have to be removed to access the tension screws and in order to remove it I need to be able to get a T40 Torx tip on the inside of the 4 bolts mounting the hitch. The problem is...

    Dr. Cowtown cured my shakes

    From the first day I got my 2011 RT Limited last April I noticed that the control console would rock side to side slightly at speeds between 35 and 50 mph. It was barely noticeable but was there. After reading about Ride-On I decided to try it. After 20 miles or so all seemed to be okay...

    Got spanked again by the Lady Spyderlovers

    Lamont, Is there a way to maybe change the text color or an easy why to identify threads created in the Lady Spyderlovers forum? The problem is when I use the "What's New" link that displays all the threads that have been recently updated. Unless I look to make sure what forum the thread is in...

    My Spyder is a car now

    Over the last several months of owning my Can-Am Spyder RT I have had people refer to it as a motorcycle, bike, scooter, toy and even an alien spacecraft but today while riding past a school bus stop one the kids yelled out "I really like your car!". Oh well. Just add it to the list I guess...

    Put the Anti-Lock Brakes to the test today... twice

    One of the really nice features of the Spyder is its stabilty. This is the primary reason for switching from 2 to 3 wheels. The Spyder also has an excellent anti-lock braking system which was another reason for my decision. Although I somewhat aggressively tested out the brakes when I first...

    Tire Warranty

    While I'm waiting for a return call from my dealership on subject of tire warranty I'll also ask the Spyderlovers members. I have a 2011 RT LTD with approx. 4800 miles. The front tires look like they are wearing evenly and have no physical damage. My problem is with balance. My left tire...

    Corbin RT Seat Installed

    I really love riding my RT Spyder but after about an hour I am pretty much done and have to get off for awhile. So after reading several threads on Corbin seats I ordered one about a month ago from Cowtown USA. I picked it up last Tuesday and installed it the next day. The install took me...

    Wheel balancing question

    I have a 2011 RT Limited that I got last April. Per recommendations from many Spyderlovers members I added Ride-On to all three tires. All has been well except that around 50 mph I get a little wheel wobble. I can rest my foot on the back of the fenders and feel the wobble. Both will do it but...

    FANCAN Install on 2011 RT

    I am trying to install the ISCI SPY-FANCAN-10 on my 2011 RT Limited. When I ordered I asked someone to verify that it will fit on my Spyder and they said yes. So I get the FANCAN and look over the installation instructions and it looks pretty straight forward. However, the pictures are not...

    Left turn signal won't auto cancel

    For some reason each time I make a left turn I have to manually cancel the turn signal. Right turns will usually always cancel on normal 90 degree street turns. Is there an adjustment I can make or is this something that can only be done at the dealership? Is this another function of the...
