• 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.

    Can Am Spyders Resale value isn't great...

    I never gave resale value a thought when I bought the roadster 11+ years ago. I intentionally bought at the end of the 2014 MY to get the best OTD price. The odometer is now > 95K and at least 150K is my target.

    Can Am Spyders Resale value isn't great...

    It will remain to be seen, but the brouhaha about dealerships not servicing Spyders over 10 years old and possible spare parts problems should virtually disappear because the V-Twin engines are no longer in production, and the engines that are are curretly in production have enough commonality...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Turned 95,000 on the odometer returning from the 23rd annual Arzie Rogers Memorial Toy Run conducted by Speedway Harley-Davidson of Concord, NC. A beartiful day in the mid-seventies with at least 500 riders.

    'The Lamonster Chronicles'

    Your last three paragraphs remind me of a niece whose husband owns a marine salvage company in LA and was called to appear at the Exxon corporate headquarters in Houston. He showed up in his normal work clothes and was approached by a guy in suit and tie who asked, "Who are you?" to which he...

    Is there a trick to getting the Right Rear Axle Cap for a 2022 Spyder RT on properly?

    Interestingly, the left and right rear axle caps for a 2010 through 2025 are exactly the same by part number; L=705501081, and R=705501022. you can see them at this link when you select the year and model Spyder, https://epc.brp.com/Index.aspx?lang=E&s1=441bf742-56c6-4d7b-9f81-b69368db7385.

    Here's my Strobe light controller for the trunk brake light.

    Custom Dynamics had a plug and play adjustable 10 selection pattern flasher I installed on my Spyder in July 2018. I drilled a hole in the upper right side of the trunk and mounted the flash pattern rotary switch. I learned several months after installing mine that the company discontinued the...

    New 2025 RTL with heavier steering than previous 2019 - anyone else noticed this? What would help?

    See my signature, a 2014 RT-S. If you put your year and model Spyder in your signature (see the linked Sticky below) viewers will see it and won't have to ask you what yours is if you ask a year and model specific question, nor will you have to type it each time you ask a question...

    New 2025 RTL with heavier steering than previous 2019 - anyone else noticed this? What would help?

    A popular alternative to Crapendas is the Vredestein Quatrac 165/60R15 that is listed in stock at Tire Rack, just confirmed stock status on phone. I have 5,000 on mine and they are the best front tire I've had on my Spyder

    Buying new 2023 RTL from dealer… any concerns from it sitting that long?

    Are they replacing the battery with a new Yuasa or one of the cheap Chinese ones? If the latter, you should try to get them to replace it with a Yuasa YTX24HL-BS.

    Should I get a 2014 now, or wait and get a newer model? Any 'gotta have' features?

    No one raises prices to clear out old inventory, except on classic Ferraris and other mega buck cars.

    Should I get a 2014 now, or wait and get a newer model? Any 'gotta have' features?

    If I lived where you do, I'd put the whole thing in the cooler until next Spring. Unless you're expecting a long Indian Summer, you might not have enough time this year to learn how you like the Y ryding.

    Probably a stupid idea - thinking I might go from a 2018 F3 Ltd to an RTL S2S - am I crazy and should just keep what I have?

    How many miles on the F3? I'm frugal; wife calls it World Class Cheap. I have almost 95K on the odo and it's doing just fine. Statistically, I'm not going to outlive her, so everything I do focuses on her wellbeing after I've checked out. Last and most important, I'm unimpressed with what I read...
