Is there a Preheating system for the Spyder RT? Any recommendations?

[adrie]

Good morning, fellow Can-Am Spyder enthusiasts.
I have a quick question for all of you who own a Spyder and ride it almost all the time.
I have a 2025 Can-Am Spyder RT S2S.
I really enjoy my three-wheeled friend.
But now I was wondering, is there a system that ensures the engine is warmed up when I want to ride in the morning?
Maybe a system that you mount between a cooling hose and connect in the evening to some kind of adapter that provides power????.
Do you have any experience with something like this and which brand or which site did you buy it from?
I’d love to hear your experiences with this.
Greetings, Adrie from the Netherlands

Well I have installed a coolant heater for my Truck.
I have an engine oil heater on my backup generator.
I keep my Spyder in my garage that usually stays at
40°F during the winter.

I believe that there are several things that can you do.
Like what I have done as posted.
As far as brands go, I have purchased my items from
the internet. Go with the ones that have the better
ratings.
So far everything is still working.
So you need to decide if you want coolant heat.
Or engine oil heat.

Over to you.

Isn't starting and letting it idle a few min until the rpm drops warming it enough for you? Don't quite understand the need for a pre-warmer.

Maybe it is mutch better for the engine

If you feel that you really need to warm the engine up before riding perhaps one of those flat magnetic heater pads. Maybe there's an open area under the motor where this pad could be stuck, maybe not.

In over 6 or 7 years with Spyders, I've never seen this come up.
Respectfully, me thinks that you are overthinking a problem that doesn't matter.
Crank it up and go.

1330 Ace does not seem to have early issues like wear and failure. A good oil that meets the wet clutch requirements is most likely the only thing that is important in this regard.
