• 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.

    Spyder shifted from reverse to 1st while backing up.

    I have been able to replicate the incident. While backing slowly, slight pressure on brake pedal but not applying the brake and bumping the shifter to shift up, the bike will shift and lurch forward.

    Spyder shifted from reverse to 1st while backing up.

    I have tried to replicate the incident to no avail. I've tried with no brake, partial brake, just touching the brake etc. all while barely moving and at different speeds, again while accelerating and decelerating and cannot get it to happen again. I am inclined to question the handlebar control...

    Spyder shifted from reverse to 1st while backing up.

    2018 Spyder RT - My wife's Spyder shifted from reverse to 1st while she was backing out of garage. She got it stopped before hitting anything but was wondering if anyone had any ideas concerning this. =bob=

    2018 RTL - Parking Brake not releasing again

    Yes it's still under warranty. The dealer is working with me on this. Earlier this year they ordered all the parts to fix the parking break whatever it may be. The parts have come in and will schedule the maintenance with me. They are checking into the left switch cluster parts availability at...

    2018 RTL - Parking Brake not releasing again

    It's possible the left switch cluster may be the problem but the computer knows when the button has been pressed as the brake light will start blinking. If I don't hit it a second time before turning off the key it will beep at me to indicate the parking brake is not set. turn it on and press...

    2018 RTL - Parking Brake not releasing again

    I've had an intermittent issue with parking brake since bike was new back in March. Last spring I took it 200 miles to dealer and was told the speed sensor mounted on rear wheel was dirty. They cleaned it off and brake release worked. I know, it doesn't make sense to me either. The speed sensor...

    Can-Am Spyder vs Gold Wing Trike Handling

    Rode a Harley trike for 5 years and found it to be very rough riding, too rough for back issues. Switched to Spyder last spring and will never go back. Ride comparison wins hands down. There is a difference between double drive wheels vs. single driver when on loose material but nothing bad once...

    Tri-axis handlebar

    Yeah, I remember now. When I took it off, it had two on the top. Neither hole had threads in it and the screws looked like they had been pounded in, all stripped. When I put it back on, I threaded the holes and put in small bolts. I got it back on and tried to add the two bolts in the center but...

    Tri-axis handlebar

    It wasn't too bad. Took some time as had to remove a lot of panels, glove box, console unit and I removed the frunk so I could get a good grip on the console unit when I lifted it off. All of this stuff comes off so you can get to 2 screws that hold the switch housing on. As 'finless' would say...

    Tri-axis handlebar

    There was one more missing part, something screws into the top front center of the bar. Logo plate or something. Leaves a screw hole that I plugged. Will see when the new on comes in as to what it is supposed to be.

    Tri-axis handlebar

    I installed a tri-axis handlebar on my 2018 RTL a while back. It is amazing what is did for my aching back. It took a while to install due to same aching back issues but when finished the change was amazing. I bought the kit from a forum member and it was missing a couple parts. One I got from...

    2018 RTL - Left the key on, battery dead

    Yeah, I still have the stock seat. The backrest, in the lowest position is about the only place I can have it. If I raise it up to a higher position it finds the tender spots in my back and will make the ride miserable. I usually just turn in over and ride without the benefit of the backrest. I...

    2018 RTL - Left the key on, battery dead

    Short version: I replaced the battery. I put the acid into battery, let set for an hour and put on charger for 2. Put battery in Spyder and went for short test ride. All codes cleared and runs good. We went for a couple hundred miles yesterday and it worked Flawless. Longer Version: While it was...
