• 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.

    Anyone know the latest software version for a 24 RTL

    My 2024 Spyder RT has the ability to connect to a Wifi network and download updates to the bike. I don't know if the Spyder F3s have the same abilities. Check your Operators Guide.

    Going Down Memory Lane; Show Us Your First Motorbikes & Your Current Spyder

    My first bike was a 1982 Yamaha Seca XJ550 that I bought in 1984. Bright red, and yes, I had a red helmet. One of our friends group owned the local Yamaha shop and sold it to me for a very good price. Even though it was a 1982 model, it was brand new still in the crate. I sold it when I moved...

    I've been charged extra (over MSRP) for Panels - dealer says none are included! Is this correct?

    The problem with that sentence is the word "standard". According to the CAN-AM website the Ryker comes in black. Any panels of another color cost extra.

    New Accessory converts wired CarPlay to wireless CarPlay

    There's been a few other posts about wireless adapters for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Since I'm an Apple iPhone user and plug my phone into the USB port in the glove box I have no use for something like that.

    Any hints/help for Installing a Garmin XT3 Zumo on a Spyder?

    I added a powered docking station to my 2024 Spyder RT Sea 2 Sky that I bought from Slingmods.com. It was originally so I could mount and power a Garmin Zumo XT to the handlebars. The listing says it works on 2026 Spyder RTs...

    Going to Maggie Valley October 11-15 - glad to meet up & ride/break bread with anyone in the area.

    Sounds like fun. That's about 4 hours from where I am, so I would have to come for at least a couple of days. Unfortunately I already have a commitment that week.

    300 miles in temps over 105 with low humidity ... dangerous

    Are you saying that the increase in average temperature between 1895 and 2026 was 4 degrees F? And that somehow that's a huge difference? And please provide links to the data you're using to claim that average temperatures have increased significantly over whatever period of time you choose.

    I've gone from ATGATT to H (just Helmet).

    I think protecting myself when I'm not surrounded by metal in a vehicle is a good idea. I'll ride ATGATT when I ride, you can ride helmet only. But don't disrespect other people because they don't share your opinions.

    I've gone from ATGATT to H (just Helmet).

    Because it's not just falling off and sliding, it's also running into things, running into other vehicles, and running off the road into a ditch.

    I want Spyder/Ryker/Canyon dealerships to succeed

    Well, I did go to the local CAN-AM dealer and had a nice chat with the service manager. I explained to him my problem with the dealership I bought it from, without telling them who it was. He told me to give him a call when it was time for service on my Spyder and he'd be able to work me in...

    Ultimate Dealer GREED!

    The postage cost may have been $33.56, but how much did packaging strong enough to hold those fairly heavy items cost them, and the labor time to securely package and ship it?

    Anyone else had to Insure their Spyder as a 2-wheel motorcycle? Any success changing its designation to a 3-Wheeler?

    I just pulled out the State of Tennessee Certificate of Title for my Spyder and it lists BODY TYPE as MC. A quick check online, and Tennessee uses these codes: CP / SD: Coupe / SedanP K / PU: Pickup Truck UT: Utility Vehicle / SUV SW: Station Wagon MC: Motorcycle MH: Motor Home BU: Bus VN: Van...
