• 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.

    Anyone else get this Howling Noise? What's the fix?

    What is the situation here? How widespread is the issue with the resonance? Has anyone had success curing this?

    Did you have a tensioner on yours stock?

    Anyone else get this Howling Noise? What's the fix?

    2024 RTL Update on various issues. The dealer finally said the resonating noise between 45-51 MPH was normal and if I wanted them to look further, then they would have to charge a diagnostic fee of 1 hour labor that might or might not be warranted by BRP. I also had my display go out for the...

    Anyone else get this Howling Noise? What's the fix?

    Update - the dealership got the second panel, under BRP warranty, and it was missing the piece as well. It appears you are correct about it being made that way. The tech simply installed it again with no thought as to whether it solved anything. BRP approved the part, apparently their...

    Anyone else get this Howling Noise? What's the fix?

    @Snowbelt Spyder, they told me that the correct piece was now on order. It will be interesting to see if it actually comes with the “missing piece”. - The manual screenshots show the same number of attachment points for both right and left service panels… Very sad indeed.

    Anyone else get this Howling Noise? What's the fix?

    The noise is very audible to the driver, but as a passenger, not so much. It's definitely a resonance, as you can hear it at half frequency at half speed - 23 to 24 MPH, then again at 46 to 48 MPH. The dealer is working on it, but the level of “control” over what can be done is astonishing...

    Anyone else get this Howling Noise? What's the fix?

    Our new 2024 RTL howls between 45 - 50 MPH. The belt has been replaced under warranty but it still howls at those speeds. The service bulletin for belt replacement on 2024’s says the belt can touch on shoulder of either the front or rear pulley. The owner’s manual says not to touch either...

    1st Week on a Spyder

    Welcome, from another new Spyder rider here. Switched from a 2018 Goldwing Tour DCT for better stability when 2-up riding. So far, a lot of fun!

    Anyone familiar with these codes - U0155 & P074D - Any ideas?

    Just had U0155 during a ride over the weekend. Passed 700 miles on a 2024 RTL. Apple Carplay was active and the 10.25 Display rebooted while riding after the Navigation froze. Coincidentally, the Navi from the same iPhone froze in my 2023 Honda Ridgline then rebooted the touchscreen on the...

    Wait for new version of BRP GO compatible with Android for 10.25 inch display or get dedicated GPS?

    Pulled the trigger on the Amazon XT2 deal at $449 with extended Holiday return time until 1-31-2026. Should know by then if it works well enough.

    Wait for new version of BRP GO compatible with Android for 10.25 inch display or get dedicated GPS?

    BRP site says the new version of BRP GO, which is coming Spring 2026, will support iOS or Android without a headset. Does anyone’s past experiences with BRP GO lend confidence to this might actually work? Trying to decide on Black Friday deals on GPS’s.

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

    It’s a brilliant bike with some expensive maintenance down the road. If you really want one, just be aware of what you’re getting into. Slow speed maneuvers requires “trail braking” with the rear brake and selecting “eco” mode for mild throttle response for tight circles and figure 8’s. The...

    Looking for a good GPS - Touring, no off road. Considering Garmin Zumo XT - thoughts?

    New 2024 Spyder RT Limited rider - dealing with the “maps” on display adventure. Installed Carda Freecom 4X to both our helmets, Bluetooth to Freecoms only from Spyder with iPhone plugged in to glove box does work great for Carplay. However, wife’s android phone no dice. I could use Waze and...

    Welcome, NutinElse2do

    New Spyder rider here! We just traded a 2018 Goldwing for a 2024 RT Limited to reignite 2-up riding and allow my wife to get back into the “fun part” of driving it. We both had bikes before children and I had something to ride 25 out of the last 44 years. Most dealers in Florida offer test...
