• 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.

2014 Can Am Spyder St

Spyder lovers: could anyone tell me how to wirer the stereo amp to the spyder. I will like for it to power on by the key function. Whenever the bike is powered on.
 
Fuse block

I used the fz1 fuzeblock to power my stereo. It is activated by the switched power wire that's provided by the factory, to power a power port that some folks install in the trunk. This is so you aren't tying directly into the bike's electrical system, which is a good idea. I don't know if the st has such a wire. I would think so, as it's very similar to the rs. Try digging thru the st shop talk board. Maybe Billy Bovine can shed some light on this.
 
I have a 2013 sts. The wire harness is in the left side behind the air scoop panel. I installed an alpine amp with kicker speakers using this wire and it turns on with the key on. I also installed a switch so i have the choice to turn it off while bike is on. Hope this helps.
 
The optional 12V power outlet for the front trunk, if you don't have it the wires are still there behind the trunk on the left side. On the ST this circuit can be switched or live all the time depends on where you put the fuse. The instructions are in the owner's manual. This is a 10 amp circuit. If that is not enough power for you or you have other uses in mind for this circuit. There are lots of other options.
 
I installed a separate fuze block in my Rt and have the accessories separate from the spyder's wiring.
My fuze block has a keyed side too.
