Can-Am Spyder RS

Will it be the same by-wire throttle as ones on RT?

There's nothing wrong with the fly by wire throttle on the RT. throttle response is instant.

Hopefully, it was changed from 2010 models. Ones I test rode in 2010 had a lag or delay when you get on the throttle, enough to be biggest reason that turn me away from RT.

:shocked: Something wrong with that bike... Mine is currently acting a bit wonky; yet the throttle response is still better than a cable-equipped setup... :shocked:

That one was a dud...unless your rpm was too low and your lag was actually a case of bogging down. Take another test ride someday, and see the difference.

Lamont, when might we know about downward compatibility?

Thx guys. Ones I rode had a big, may be like 1/3-1/2 of second delay before spyder responded. Vance and Hines sell a module to eliminate that delay on few bikes with by-wire throttle so I assumed that's how it was with by-wire throttle.
