• 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.

    New Spyder sold with no factory warranty - is this right? What say you all?

    About 3 months ago I purchased a 2023 Spyder RT Ltd demo from a local dealer. It had a small number of miles on it. My understanding has always been that the warranty period starts when the bike is first registered with the state DOT. I also purchased an extended warranty (3 yr). The dealer...

    Ever taken the ferry between South Baymouth, Ontario, and Tobermory?

    We've taken several ferries, all on two wheel motorcycles. I know that at least one required that you have your own tie down straps (to hook into the grating the bike sits on), or they wouldn't let you on the ferry. I'm not certain if they would require the same of a Spyder (even though it...

    Yuasa battery out of stock

    I just discovered a week ago that I was in dire need of a replacement battery for my 2019 Spyder RT Ltd. I started calling dealers, who were primarily hoping to receive batteries soon (fingers crossed). We happened to be planning a weekend visit to our children in the Twin Cities (250 miles...

    Arachnid Tires

    Some of you may already be familiar with this, but there was a 1/2 page ad in the last Ryder magazine for "Replacement Tires for the Can-Am Spyder" placed by Metalsport, Inc. Their referenced website, https://metalsportwheels.com/product/arachnidtires/, listed them as "Vee Rubber Tires –...

    2019 RT Ltd - Power Decrease at Higher Rpms

    Just a quick update on this problem. The dealer yesterday installed the new spark plugs and verified that there was no blockage in the air intake system. When I talked to the service manager today I said I assume there was no improvement. He said he test rode the Spyder after this was done...

    2019 RT Ltd - Power Decrease at Higher Rpms

    I do appreciate all the feedback so far, but I truly do believe this is a more serious problem that just the result of an easy break-in or the ECU needing an aftermarket upgrade. Please remember I had 3 years of riding experience on a new 2016 RT prior to this 2019. I may have overstated when...

    2019 RT Ltd - Power Decrease at Higher Rpms

    I traded in a 2016 RT for a left over 2019 RT Limited this spring. Having babied it through the break in, I started running it harder after it had about 1500 miles on it (now almost 2000 miles) and realized something was wrong. Despite what ever gear I am in, the engine seems to pull strongly...

    2019 Spyder RT Ltd Won’t Connect to New iPod

    Snakeeyes - This spring I traded my 2016 RT in for a new left over 2019 RT Ltd. My iPod nano worked great with the 2016 - just connect to USB in rear trunk and everything worked great. Now, as I've tried this with the 2019 I've had nothing but frustration. As I understand the USB in rear...

    2019 RT Ltd Radio

    Hi, I just yesterday picked up my new 2019 Spyder RT Ltd from my dealer about 60 miles from my home. On the way home I took a quick shot at using the joystick to turn on the radio - couldn't get it done! I spent some time last evening reading the not very helpful owner's manual on setting up...

    Glacier National Park

    We were there a few years ago. While rafting we ran into a lady from North Carolina who asked if we had been to Many Glacier Lake. We said no, and we didn't think we had time as it was on east end of park. She said it was the most beautiful place in the world. Based on this we took the time...

    SQUARED AWAY TO IOWA-IT COULD HAPPEN

    Alignment Question Do some or all of the Spyders leave the factory with alignment issues or is the need for alignment something that comes up due to usage issues? This is my first Spyder, bought new, and I am wondering if it is wise to have alignment checked at least. Thanks!
