• 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.

    Great deal on 2018 Spyders

    If you are looking to buy a new 2018 Spyder (or other CanAm product) you probably won’t do better than Motosports Inc in Hanover, PA. I’m picking up my RT Limited tomorrow and got a great deal! We will bring it with us on our RV trips, so am picking up a Triton trailer at the same time. They...

    Anyone do a Moto vlog?

    John & I want to start shooting videos of our rides to share with family and friends. We need a helmet mounted camera and I’ve heard that the Sena Prism Tube is a good choice but nobody has it in stock. I’d love to hear your experiences!

    2012 to 2018 seat pan - the same?

    I have an original 2012 RTL seat pan and am wondering if the 2018s use the same seat. I want to order a Russell Day Long and would like to use that 2012 seat if I can. Any help appreciated!

    Best shop for RT service in metro DC area

    I am planning on buying an RTL soon and would like to know where most folks go for service. I had a 2012 RTL and bought from CPS in W’bridge. I had some service there but also in Fredericksburg and Hanover,PA. Has CPS improved on their level of service in the last 3 yrs or so? Not trying to bad...

    Brake pads stuck to rotor

    I have been having a problem with my brakes and am wondering if anyone here might be able to help us. It might require a shop visit but I thought I'd tap into the brain trust here first. I haven't really ridden it since October because of this. The spyder is kept in a semi-heated garage year...

    Help from the gentlemen here

    I am hoping that one or more of you kind gents can help solve a problem my copilot faces. I have an Ultimate Seat installed but after riding for an hour or so, he experiences discomfort with his "boys". He wears riding pants, Firstgear I think. Any suggestions from those of you who have...

    Brakes making sounds since Elkas installed

    Ever since I had the Elkas installed, my brakes are making intermittent clicking/clunking sounds when applied. I especially hear it from the Right front brake. Brakes seem to work just fine, just making that funky sound. Any suggestions as to what to look for? Hubby will be available to...

    Feels like emergency brake is still on when I try to drive in either direction

    Naturally, this just had to happen right when it is turning into nice riding weather. Ah, well. About 3 weeks ago when I moved my RT to put it on the tire ramps so that my husband could install the sway bars, I noticed that the brakes were making a pretty loud squelling sound. Sounded like...

    Custom Dynamics Lighting and Virginia Safety Inspection

    Has anyone added any of the Custom Dynamic Bright Sides or the HMT Brake Light to their RT? I really like the idea of the added light from a visability standpoint but since the LED lights are NOT DOT approved, I've got to believe that there is a chance that they won't pass inspection. I'd like...

    RVers and Owners Event in Maggie Valley

    This will be our first time at an Owners Event and in Maggie Valley. I looked at large and small campgrounds and found Creekwood Farm RV Park answered their phone (after trying others that were closer). This park is about 6-7 miles away in Waynesville, NC. Has anyone else stayed here before...

    Elastic webbing in saddlebags

    In some of the videos on youtube, I see elastic webbing in some of the saddlebags. I don't have this with my 2012 RT-S. Is this something I can buy aftermarket. It sure would be great to have a way to keep stuff from falling out when I open the door! Madonna PS The inside of those doors...

    Great ride in Virginia countryside

    Today John (husband) and I took a nice ride out Rt. 50. We had planned on going to Mt. Weather, but with storm clouds gathering and a chill in the air, we decided to take Snickersville Turnpike instead. We've only been on that road once before about 10 years ago. Really nice to see everything...

    Canandaigua Lake - Riding Suggestions

    We will be vacationing in Canandaigua, NY in July. I'm a little on the fence about taking my Spyder with me. Are there folks here who could provide me with some riding routes? Perhaps you can help change my mind. Thanks in advance for any info you are willing to share. Madonna

    I just called and ordered the Ultimate Seat with black fuel door. I should get it in 2-3 weeks. Anybody have an installation video that they have done in taking the stock seat off and installing the Ultimate Seat? Sure would be helpful to this visual learner! :bowdown: Madonna 2012 Spyder...

    Replacing stock RT seat

    After 3 hours in the saddle last weekend, I realized that I am going to have to upgrade the seat. Would the comfort seat be a good solution or should I look at some of the custom seats (Ultimate, KonTour, Russel Day long)? Your experiences are very helpful in my decision making process! Madonna

    New member, new Spyder

    Hi everyone, my name is Madonna (definitely NOT a singer) and I take delivery tomorrow of a 2012 Spyder RT-S SE5 in pure magnesium metallic. I went to the BRP sponsored event at Potomac Mills this morning and drove the Spyder. I fell in love right then and there. Such a well planted, stable...
