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.

I deal with RTFM all the time. There are many times I get frustrated with some folks. Take a deep breath and help. There was a day when you did not know certain things and someone helped you! Pay it forward!
There are no stupid questions as long as people are willing to answer them!
Group hug folks.....
Personally if your not going to post anything constructive, why post?

It will be ok
Some (many) folks do have thinner skin. So being polite is often a better way to approach, expressing your pleasure. We aren't all blessed with the ability to read, & for some, that may be a real stretch. ;-)
I wish there was a free PDF Owners Manual.
But using the foot brake on a hill take off, is common practice on most any bike though...

Try this..!!
you should have your foot on the brake when you start it just in case. Good habit to get into. No different than cars that will not go into park if you don't put your foot on the brake. Glad you found the solution before folks here jump all over you..good job..:2thumbs:

I've only just got my spyder, and only just joined, and this is the first thread I read.
I'm a bit concerned.. If I ask a newbie question are people like this Dudley person going to be nasty straight up? It is rather off putting
No worries luv! There are all sorts on these forums. The vast majority of the people here will be very happy to help a lady in distress!
Can I assume you've been over to http://www.spydermates.com/forum/ which is hosted just around the corner from you? I believe they've got a ride out planned
in September........They're a great bunch!
PM FOR YOU ttc!

:agree:Good habit to start from the beginning! Just like shutting the Spyder off with the kill switch rather then the key. Once you do it a few times it becomes second nature!:doorag:Happy riding everyone!

Maybe I read into Dudley's post too much; I found it a little funny because there are so many complaints about the spyder having to many sensors (supposedly for our own good) and now someone (the OP) mentions a new one to have.
Was Dudley a bit harsh? Not for me; but, it appears he was for a majority of others. Remember, this is my opinion and I am allowed to have it.

When I picked up my spyder 6 weeks ago the salesman, who was a previous can am manager from another location, could not start my spyder in order to go thru the new owner spyder introduction. He went inside to get help from service. Yup...you guessed it. He forgot to push the brake. Can happen to anyone. We all know that the spyder has some unique starting requirements.

It won't open on my iPad 3
Hi,
Yeah, thanks for the link, but been there and done that before.
http://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/...&type=og&_ga=1.143808819.725551225.1409240512
Well, this is how far I got, as it won't open further than this. Never had before either.
Perhaps I should fire up the HP, But that would defeat the purpose of the PDF file.
I will need to pull the manual out of my Frunk and give it a thorough going over again. ;-)
What are you viewing, the files on, Tablet or Computer?

The owner's manual... I downloaded a copy of it into the 'puter! :thumbup:

Thought PDF was for portable use?
I could do the same thing, but I actually wanted a mobile copy, aside from the hard copy in the bike. PDF files are great to click back and forth to specific pages.
And if you store a copy on a USB thumb drive, you can often get copies printed at Staples or Office Depot. With spline and covers, makes referencing much easier and more fun.
Some companies, only include a DVD manual copy, and it is up to you to print it off.
