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.

Mileage????
Excuse me but what the H..l are use guys doing? The ONLY way to get a true average mpg is to note your mileage after a fill-up,then run several tanks thru it (3 4 5 the more gallons the better) noting each time the number of gallons purchased then divide the total number of gallons into the total number of miles. That is how you get an average mpg. Anything else is worthless. My sister in-law thinks her Ford Explorer gets better mileage than my Wife's Honda Civic because she can go father between fill-ups so go figure... just please don't run out of gas.

I usually get about 32 - 35, but on our trip to valley of fire, I had it up to 41. I am not sure what was different...

I saw that online. At the price ($56,000++++), they'll be asking, I wouldn't call that competition for the Spyder. The T-Rex, perhaps; but not the Spyder.
Then, of course, there's the Tri-Rod. Hey! Anyone got a spare $50,000-$60,000 I can have??!!
At this time, for the $$$, there is no competition for the Can-Am Spyder.

You won't see it in the US. If it has four wheels, and for the road, it is an automobile... and has to meet all of the safety specs of the US for a car.

From what I know it dosn't make any difference what amount of fuel it takes to fill your tank, you take the amount of miles and devide by the amount of fuel you purchased. if you take 4 gallons of fuel and drive 150 miles it's 37.5 miles to the gallon. makes no difference how much fuel is in the tank when you start as long as it's at least 4 gollons or more for this equasion. that's why brp gave you 2 trip gages 1 for a day at a time and the second for the whole trip.

Just talking about you today. We'll have to hook up and see what you've done for a pulsing tail light (because I'm sure you have!!)
I got about 30 on the way home from Detroit when I picked it up. Now about 25-27 in town and blasting around with it. 35 on the road at about 70mph.
Be well.

if you start by filling up with 4 gallons.....then you drive around till ur light comes on...and fill up with 4 gallons and then use your miles traveled to divide into...you get mpg... the key is that you fill the tank up the same amount each time....what i was saying was that if u start with 4, or 100 gallons of gas, then at next fill fill back up the same amount. it wont make a difference in mpg

Spyder Mileage
Was getting around the 33 MPG range when my state (Florida) went to 10% ethanol in all the gas. MPG dropped 2 MPG at that point. Am getting 31 MPG now on 87 octane. I envy you folks that are getting 36-38 MPG. Still, riding the Spyder is a ton of fun and I am having a ball!!
61 years of bike riding (age 77) and this machine is the most fun ever.
