What Should CanAm Have made Stock ?

(The teeny-tiny blinking indicators problem could be better solved with real turn signals in the mirrors. This would not only help the ryder, but also the surrounding traffic, for better safety.)

:agree: with this one... :thumbup:

Along with a lane-change cancel function that actually works right the first time, every time, especially on bumpy pavement at 70mph in a gusty crosswind! I know I would use mine more if it weren't for the dangerous distraction of trying cancel them after use.

(The teeny-tiny blinking indicators problem could be better solved with real turn signals in the mirrors. This would not only help the ryder, but also the surrounding traffic, for better safety.)

This is number one for me. I even filed a complaint with the NHTSA because I believe it is a serious safety hazard not being able to quickly and confidently cancel turn signals. Having to repeated hit the button because instead of canceling, you're giving the opposite indication to drivers around you. If you're in heavy traffic, this could spell real trouble as you're signaling wrong information and repeatedly having to look at your dash to see if you've cancelled as desired or just turned on the other blinker.

I also added the Muth Mirrors that have the built in turn signals. Love them & they look OEM.

Also, the intercom on the RT should be standard equipment.

Make the Limited a "true" Limited. Load it up. And give it an engine boost. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:

Did I mention a HANDBRAKE??? Because I think it should really come with a HANDBRAKE. Who wouldn't want to have a HANDBRAKE on their machine? :roflblack::roflblack:

 

[robtdonna]

CHROME as stock item? Optional maybe but not stock - increases cost and many don't like the chrome.

....

Chrome rear wheel.

Chrome rear sprocket

Upgraded seat (something closer to like what a Goldwing has)

 

[robtdonna]

Hmmm, many good suggestions but can't believe no one mentioned SpyderPops Missing Rockguard. That seems like a mandatory item for sure.

I own a 08 GS. I have had the park break adjusted so many times. Instead of a sloppy foot operated park brake, how about
a hand operated park brake. The park break seems to flimsy and never really works. When it will not release, you have to lay on the ground and with a screw driver, release the cam to let the brake off.

This was a poor design.

A PROPER HAND PARK BREAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. Some kind of power port (doesn't have to be USB) back around the leg area, for heated clothing. Also, it should double as a plug-in for a battery charger; power in, power out. BMW does this for all its bikes. My '99 BMW R1100RT came with one in the dash, and I got two additional ones (a drop-in mod that plugged into a ready-made junction in the wiring harness) down around my left ankle, precisely for heated driver and passenger clothing. For the price of a Spyder RT, it's odd not to have such, as they are literally nickle-and-dime.

2. More positive turn signal cancellation, something with a definitive "click." And brighter turn signal indicators to match.

3. Adjustable handlebars (especially for the price of an RT). I scratch my head as to the price of the Tri-Axis handlebars.

4. The inside of the frunk, as well as the saddlebags and tail trunk, should be a medium flat gray instead of black. (I got this idea from some sidecar drivers; some sidecars have a trunk behind the seat, and it's dark in there!) Being black, it's hard to discern any relief on the inside surfaces, even on a bright day. Medium gray would provide visual contrast.

5. The sound system for an RT Limited should already have some memory to load up a music library. This kind of technology is widely available, and the Limited should be unlimited in its gee-gaws.

6. Better speakers.

The switch to turn off the governor. I want to go faster than 111mph in the straightaways.

The switch / dial to turn the VSS ("nanny") into F3 mode (loosen it up) . Might be nice to see dynamic electronic modes depending g on skill level / break in times.

On a serious note fitting the RSS with a sports mode switch with a more powerful engine mapping and less restrictive nanny.

Amen to that! If BMW and KTM can do it on their bikes certainly BRP can do it. The overly restrictive nanny is why I won't own one for my own ride at present.
