• 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.

NEW SOFTWARE UPDATE ALREADY!!

We have #186 Demo that was shipped to our dealer to replace demo s in the region and never assembled,We talked dealer into seeking permission to sell it and on Jan. 5 my wife got her new bike,after assem. we were about to leave when Can Am called service mgr. to verify which bike we were buying [The First one sold in Tx.] he immediatley stopped us from leaving so this download could be done , it is my understanding that at 10hrs. this bike was going to shut off and not restart, basically no matter what you did. Since we travel 3 hrs. to dealer this could have been trouble, the download was done ,took a while, and has not bobbled since my wife now has approx. 3200mi. all with gerbing heated clothes and loves it ,she has 90,000mi. on goldwing trikes including the 2007 we traded on the RTS and TRailer.


:congrats: and a big welcome to you as well.
 
Spyder lovers husband

Just did my wifes first at home oil chg. is a lot more trouble than the wing trikes she had , did first one 3700mi. in about 45 min. , will get better with time, greased all pins and grommets onall side covers, so tight they scared me to death I am sure I would be sick if I had to replace one . I can tell you from her Wings daily riding in rain, Texas heat,etc. these will stick in the grommets , she still loving it more and more every time she ridesw it, she is gone now paying bills on it.This is THE BEST SITE I have already found more info. than I have since we bought it, How to get codes is awesome for us we travel alot on our own , this could be helpful hope fully we wont need it.

I found the grommets are glued in four places on the back side, with what looks a lot like hot glue. Trouble is that it is very hard, and breaks readily, allowing the oval grommets to be pushed through the body panel. Then you can say goodbye, if you ride before you notice. I intend to take the time to glue them all down with RTV silicone, but I expect I will buy a couple of spares of each shape, just in case.
 
Lower Side Panels

Side panels were so hard to remove I did grease grommets , then was scared might lose a side panel, As I posted she has an early bike was shipped as pre production Demo, Our friend just got her blue RTS the lower side panels have two tabs that hook around the front to help hold from a blow off I assume , ours being an early release does not have these tabs the front is straight so I tethered these by Epoxying a small catch from Home Depot to the inside and tywrapping small 4" bungycords to the holes next to the headlight adjusters, I assume if factory added these tabs since ours was produced must have been a reason,if we should lose one I will point this out .
 
When was this update made available ?
I just picked up an RT this Saturday. My dealer said that I need the reflash, but I would have expected the unit to already have the latest firmware.
