• 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.

    Confusing info in the users guide - am I missing something, or what?

    Thank you for the replies. Now I know the RT doesn’t have a sport mode. My high/low beam switch does not have a spring loaded position to flash the high beams, there’s an icon on the switch to indicate a flash position but it’s for decorative purposes only! The 2022 users guide mentions sport...

    Confusing info in the users guide - am I missing something, or what?

    I’m 4+ weeks into the switch from a Harley trike to the 2022 Can Am Spyder RT and have some questions on info in the users guide. It states there’s 3 modes, normal, eco and sport modes. I only have normal and eco modes, no sport mode. On the headlight selector switch section, it says it has low...

    First time ride on my Spyder today - I think I'm gonna like it!

    After 53 years on Harleys, most recently a Freewheeler trike that I traded for a 2022 RT, I now realize how much I disliked it after driving the Spyder. On Harley touring bikes, you sit on the bike, on a Harley softail, you sit in the bike, which I liked. On the way home with the Spyder, one of...

    Is there supposed to be a lift support for the drivers seat?

    Any tips on how to get the lift cylinder on the bottom pin? Access looks rather limited, top looks easy.

    Thank you, your 2 cents were worth a lot!! Found a short video showing exactly the steps to remove and install. Thanks for your input as well, the youtube video said use tape and paper towels and lots of care! Thanks for the recommendation, I had a similar windshield on the recently traded...

    Trailer hitch removal - can I just slide out the hitch thru-bolt without causing issues - 2022 RT Limited?

    Thank you for setting me straight, it’s very much appreciated! Thank you for your reply, there was a hollow axle, 2 flat washers, a nut, and 2 plastic caps in the right saddlebag. So I assumed wrongly that the long hitch bolt replaced the hollow axle. I’ll be listing the hitch in the for sale...

    Trailer hitch removal - can I just slide out the hitch thru-bolt without causing issues - 2022 RT Limited?

    Thanks for your reply. When the hitch was installed it comes with a longer bolt which is also the axle to compensate for the additional width of the hitch. I have the original hollow axle to replace the longer bolt/axle. There are a series of photos on the LaMonster website showing long bolt...

    Trailer hitch removal - can I just slide out the hitch thru-bolt without causing issues - 2022 RT Limited?

    I want to remove the trailer hitch that was on my recently purchased 2022 RT. Can I slide the through bolt (axle) that holds the hitch in place without some kind of support to keep the rear wheel in place and not cause belt alignment/tension issues? I don’t want parts to go flying because of...

    How difficult is it to replace the Windshield on a 2022 RT?

    I found a tinted Freedom Shields windshield on the LaMonster website that I would like to purchase. My question is how difficult is it to replace the windshield? Access to the attaching hardware looks some what limited. Thanks in advance for another one of my newbie questions! It’s a 2022...

    Need a low profile lift table recommendation

    Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'll sell my existing lift table. It needs to be in the 60 + inches wide range to accommodate the front tires, it’s 48” wide with the side extensions. I found one from a company in Iowa that is 36” center width with two 15” X 45” side extensions for the front...

    Need a low profile lift table recommendation

    The lift table I used to park my Freewheeler on is too tall (6 inches) when completely lowered for the Spyder to get completely on. It gets hung up about two thirds of the way on. I watched a youtube video where the table was about 2 inches tall when lowered and had 2 short side plates the...

    Is there supposed to be a lift support for the drivers seat?

    Thanks to all of you for the replies. I did find the support after removing the rear seat and there it was. I ordered the Show-Chrome one on Amazon. I looked at the one on the BRP website parts diagrams. Big price difference between the Amazon one and the OEM one. And here I thought Harley...

    Is there supposed to be a lift support for the drivers seat?

    Spyder newbie here. Is there supposed to be some kind of support system to hold up the drivers seat when refueling? I recently purchased a 2022 RT Limited that I have to hold the seat up with one hand while using the other for the fuel nozzle.

    Welcome, 1Vetteman

    Thank you. I’m definitely a newbie to the Can Am world. After 53 years on Harleys, I traded my Freewheeler for a 2022 RT Limited last Saturday. There is no comparison to how much better the Spyder handles and rides. I’m still looking for a clutch and front brake lever!
