• 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.

    RT-S SE5 Question for new rider

    I'd second New/used Ryker - lower $ entry - popular - easier to mod/work on - fully auto - faster learning curve - twist and go and single foot brake. or used 2015 F3 KBB $11K.

    Interesting Info from BRP 2020 Report

    IMHO - Other than quality control - Can-AM offers recreational highway open air/road safer motorcycle riding than anyone else. Appeals to a larger market than 2 wheelers. COVID-aging population - attracting more women - attracting non-motorcycle riders - attracting younger riders with the Ryker...

    What was your OTD cost for a 2021 RTL?

    I paid MSRP - $2K BRP instant rebate, plus living in Maryland expense (tax, tags, title, registration). $0 added for doc prep./transportation/setup. From a small dealership in PA just over MD line. About a 1 hour ride for me - mostly on windy back roads - fun ride. Mechanic is to notch and...

    2020 RT GPS power

    Excellent point: I used post-taps on my previous RS and F3 - forgot about them - getting old has its drawbacks but beats the alternative - to late already cut it off.:gaah:

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Added two handlebar bar end cap weights - didn't need washers on right side - throttle works as before. Took a short ride - Doesn't do much if anything but looks good. Since that took all of 5 minutes - I decided to clean her up a bit - used old brand of Honda clean and polish spray almost...

    Well this morning the lawn was WHITE *%#*

    Not looking forward to when it snows in Maryland. We Marylander's don't do well in snow (IMHO) - not in road clearing and not in driving. Sometimes cannot get out of neighborhood for several days. I live relatively close to two major cities - Washington DC and Baltimore, MD - heavy traffic...

    Kill Switch Accidently Killing

    The BRP start and turning off Spyder owner's manual instructions includes using the Kill Switch. First time I shut down Spyder with kill switch , I almost jumped off my seat. Been years since I heard that sound. Hopefully years before I hear it again. It is hard for me to imagine that this...

    Short reach bars on 2020+ RT

    Happy to see you are enjoying your RT more. I agree in that it is surprising that the most expensive BRP on-road vehicle line "RT" doesn't provide pegs/brake adjusting. F3 has U-fit and Rykers have a sliding rail system. Go figure. The floorboards are nice but also pegs would be better. In...

    2020 RT pre-wired accessory (+12V) locations - are there three?

    The BRP one is plug and play - plug is already there for u to use - zip tied to cover plate. I installed an aftermarket one ($24) and unfortunately had to cut factory connector off because I could not find a mating connector. PM me if you choose to go aftermarket with a generic solution. Not...

    2020 RT Limited first service

    Not to defend the cost but I would think that the 2020+ is going to cost more than any other Spyder for service. This model is really new in many ways. How many 2020s RTs has tech worked on - if every item in service checklist is actually done it should take hours (not just 1 hour). I did...

    Show Chrome/Big Bike Parts Backrest for 2020 RT

    Similar to what I did with air hawk - tried but it just didn't do it for me even with less air - I had an older office chair seat cushion that I took the cover off and used it's thick foam inside the air hawk cover - love it.

    2008 Spyder GS (RS) | Fire Damage

    WoW - what a challenging project you have on your hands. You might search forum here and internet - I think (and only think don't know) that there was an issue with some 08's that leaked gas/smelled fumes. Been to long - my old fart brain isn't sure. Maybe related to smelling of gas and an...

    2020 RT Limited - MY LEGS ARE DANGLING!!!

    Lamont has a facebook page - also try him there plus email his company. Don't feel bad I drank the Kool Aid also and I gave my 2015 F3-S to my brother. Ur riding position will never be as comfortable (IMHO) as on the F3 but hopefully for you it can be OK. For me sitting down in the F3 is...

    Big Thanks to Lamont

    I agree - I use email - usual response is next day - many times same day. When I order online - shipping is fast. More importantly their products work as advertised, and Lamont has helped many Spyder owner's solve bike problems that didn't involve his products.
