• 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've gone from ATGATT to H (just Helmet).

    Good for you, we just passed 51 years and are still riding double.

    I've gone from ATGATT to H (just Helmet).

    Yep, it's not only the distracted driver you have to watch out for, it's the distracted Spyder rider you have to look out for, and that would be YOU. The Spyder is so comfortable and easy to ride that a rider can easily become almost oblivious to their surroundings. I have to, sometimes, on a...

    What are your thoughts on any potential reliability/issues of this 16 year old Spyder?

    By all means, trailer it home. Don't risk riding home. Find a non BRP shop or tech to help you with issues because you will have some. If you are mechanically inclined and enjoy working and riding older bikes/trikes you should have fun with this one, if the price is right. Let us know how it...

    Can anyone tell me what this tray in the RT Trunk is?

    And I'm missing my tray too.

    RT Muffler needs repair at flared end - any thoughts or sources on repair pipes with flares?

    Best idea I can think of, that's what I'd do. Second best idea would be to go to a muffler shop for a fix.

    I HATE Vapor recovery (ECO) gasoline pump nozzles! Is this just "my issue" only? Anyone else? What do you do to avoid this?

    Today, on my way home from town with this post still fresh in my memory, I stopped to fuel up at a small gas station where I normally frequent. After the automatic shut off, I stuffed (dribbled) in 2 extra gallons paying close attention to what I was doing, and I never touched the rubber gas...

    I HATE Vapor recovery (ECO) gasoline pump nozzles! Is this just "my issue" only? Anyone else? What do you do to avoid this?

    To get a full tank without spilling any gas, you have to be more skilled than the average gas pump nozzle.

    What's the possibility of mounting up a side car to my F3-T .. Anyone ever done it?

    I'm with Mikey and BK911 on this one, lose the spyder and go for the little sports car with the retractable hard top.

    The things you learn...

    I can't find it, but there's an earlier post (a year or two ago) that shows a breakdown of exactly what the "clunk" is and why it happens. Once I understood the how and why, it became a non issue.

    The things you learn...

    You can avoid that morning "clunk" with a little practice. Watch your tach needle on first start up. Each Spyder is just a tad different. But just before the needle reaches it's full rise, shift into First or Reverse, and you will avoid the clunk. You won't hit the sweet spot every time, but...

    I HATE Vapor recovery (ECO) gasoline pump nozzles! Is this just "my issue" only? Anyone else? What do you do to avoid this?

    I'm Stage II, so I don't give a hoot about the $$$ of gas because I use premium; and if I can't find it, I carry a small bottle of Boostane with me so that I can make it premium if I have to. I avoid Costco and all the newer stations with the high velocity pumps. I fill up at the little ol' mom...

    Long Weekend Incident Report – Can-Am Spyder RT Limited

    Knowing what you know now, what would you have done differently?

    Has anyone modified the brake pedal to make it easier to use?

    LOL, I know exactly what you mean. That muscle memory will NEVER go away when panic comes to visit.

    After some True Can-Am insight - will I be making a huge mistake buying the RTL or F3?

    I agree with RayBJ. Can Ams' dealer network is its weakest link and may ultimately be its downfall. That, sadly being said, I've ridden them all, and the Spyder by far is the better of the three. Each one has its good points, but at the finish line, the Spyder takes the prize, for me anyway. If...

    Has anyone modified the brake pedal to make it easier to use?

    Been following your thread. I went back to the smaller foot brake pedal because the larger one took up too much room over the right footboard. Good reviews on the aftermarket right hand brake lever. Yep, it's pricey all right, but when you pencil out going through the windshield, it's not that...
