• 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.

    My 2011 Can Am Spyder Brake Question

    “Spongy feel” Same feel on ours(2011)from day one, learned to live with it. My driving habits have evolved over time and the quick second pump really hardens the pedal. If I ever upgrade I’ll probably throw the mrs. off the back.

    MY EXPERIENCE PUTTING A NEW REAR TIRE ON MY 2014 RT

    Oil change, inspection and new rear tire all for $500...can't complain. Will mention that my nanny got sensitive on the way home from the dealer and flashed the orange screen of death at me and limp mode until I pulled into the driveway. Pulled the key, walked away and let the electrical...

    Feel like a kid at Christmas

    Update Figured I'd post an update since getting her back last Friday. It's literally taken this long because close to 500 miles happened. All is way more than OK!! What do they say...everything old is new again. A new DPS module, two fresh front tires and a laser alignment...so this is how...

    Feel like a kid at Christmas

    ....but wait, I shouldn't! I already own a spyder. However, the excitement is building for Friday morning. Now a little back story... We have owned our beloved spyder since '12 and have ridden 14k relatively trouble free miles. But about 2 months ago, I experienced the orange screen of death...

    Reliability

    Repair, service, reliability...to me are completely different categories for the said 42%. Does mine go to the shop? Yes, for the oil changes(service). Does it go there for tires and a laser alignment? Yep, I'll call that one a combo(repair and service). Did it go there for a broken shock...

    Need confirmation about battery

    Battery Cleaned everything and tightened everything possible, no luck. Think the battery is shot! Not a lot of room under there to get that bugger out. Lost a little blood!

    Need confirmation about battery

    I did the jump under the seat, gave it enough juice to power the screen, but no crank. I have disassembled the left side and pulled the battery. I put it on the charger the real way now, we'll see. The thing that has me confused is the charger claims it's good after about 15 min. Maybe it's...

    Need confirmation about battery

    Alright "experts"...I think I already know the answer to my dilemma, but figured I'd ask anyway. 2011 Rt on the original battery will not start. It's been hooked up to a tender thru the 12v plug after every ride this year(yes, still riding in Texas...sorry!). Unfortunately, turn the key today...

    MPG

    The power is there, but what is really surprising is the amount of torque on demand. She definitely launches! As far as gearing, sprocket debates and the like, it was just an observation that I felt during my demo. It is a completely different animal which will appeal to different people. It...

    MPG

    Needs to be a 7 speed for mpg Ain't gonna lie...I think it needs another gear. And considering how I drove it during my demo, without a doubt, it will be less. Very fun though...

    Broken rear shock

    Yep!! Been there, done that...twice! Last time I was out of warranty by 2 months and the boys at Louis Powersports took care of it and covered me! Nice to have a great dealer. I broke mine on a pothole. Know the pogo stick feeling!

    Picking up the RT Sunday - Advice? also - Fog Q.

    Chances are, if you don't have fogs, then it's a base RT or an A&C model. Which means you need the rear audio as well. After 3 years of ownership, still haven't added the fogs to mine or the rear speakers. If I would ever get around to it, I'd get the BRP stuff! Enjoy the ryde home and congrats!

    Blew another rear shock

    Update.... Finally back up and running! A huge shout out to Danny and Waco at Louis PowerSports. And here's the rest of the story...shock order and paid for by me over the phone. Receive a phone call that the shock is in 4 days later. Make the run to the dealer only to find out the wrong...

    Any Spyder Ryders in the Lehigh Valley, PA area?

    Would love this ride.... only problem, I'm 1400 miles away! These were my old stomping grounds, graduated from KU in '96. Love hearing the description and intersections mentioned, brings back some great memories. If you guys get the chance, DO this ride, it's well worth it!

    Blew another rear shock

    Interesting, as I believe you can take the air bag to 110psi...regardless, the bag isn't the problem, it's the darn shock!

    Blew another rear shock

    Check your valve core, might be loose. Mine used to do the same until I tightened the core.
