• 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.

    Does anyone know the Actual cost of a new RT?

    Do you know if that $53,725.00 was in US dollars? If it is, that dealer saw him coming a mile away.

    Slingmods Adjustable Backrest - who has one and what do you think?

    I installed one on my 2022, and ended up selling the backrest and buying the BRP version. I like it much better.

    Any helpful tips for installing a Lamonster Belt damper on a 2022 RT?

    I put one on mine. It's a pain in the butt to get to, but otherwise not real difficult.

    How likely are Gang encounters on the road?

    No, they aren't going to hassle you. They don't care as long you're not wearing a 3 piece patch. They leave us regular folks alone, and for the most part they are okay people. The biggest threat is drivers on their cell phones.

    So many complaints about the Spyders. Anyone with no problems?

    Other than the cheap imported battery I had to replace after 10 months, no issues at all with my 22 RTL. I've put ~10,000 miles on it.

    Is it Zumo time???

    I use my phone for streaming audio (Sirius/XM, Spotfiy, Amazon Music, etc) to the bike (or to my Cardo Edge). I keep my phone in a holder on the handlebars.

    Looking for opinions on when to do the first oil change?

    Anyone else dealing with this sort of Gas Mileage?

    I don't rely on the miles to empty number too much. I have an app on my phone (Fuelio) that I use to keep track of fuel for both my Spyder and my GMC. At each fill up I enter the trip odometer reading, gallons purchased, amount of fuel, and price per gallon. It calculates gas mileage, averages...

    My experiences with Front tire mounting...

    These bikes come with car tires and the wheels are car wheels, not motorcycle rims. The only issue I know is some tire machines need an adapter due to the smaller hubs in these wheels.

    '22 RT starting slowly after sitting on tender - replacement Battery?

    The batteries that came in new '22 RTs are trash. Due to supply chain problems (or because BRP decided to go cheap) they put an inferior imported battery in these units instead of the superior Yuasa batteries. Do what I did and replace the Haijiu 300CCA battery with a good Yuasa 350CCA one...

    Harbor Freight 63397 motorcycle lift - high enough for sway bar install?

    I used an automotive floor jack, raised the spyder up about a foot, let it rest on jack stands under the lower control arms, dropped the jack, added some 2x4 wood blocks on the jack cradle and raised the spyder to give me 24" of clearance, then raised the jackstands, Kind of a nuisance, but it's...

    No Competition for Can Am

    This is typical in the industry. I've owned Suzuki, Kawasaki and Harley-Davidson motorcycles over the last 20 years. Models typically go years without being updated. Kawasaki is still selling cruisers that came out in 2009. The only thing that changes is typically paint color. I think Suzuki's...

    Just finished installing my new Spyderpops KOTT Grille.

    I have the KOTT grill covers and ended up not installing them on my 2022 because I could not get them in place without bending them. Anyone have any suggestions? Yes, I followed the instructions.

    Went To Buc-ee's in Atlanta!
