• 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.

    Is there a backup brake on a 2011 Spyder if the Pedal brake fails?

    If that were to happen, I would slow by downshifting, while continue to pump the brake pedal, and engage the parking brake if or when possible.

    Is the BRP logo on the rear tail metal or plastic?

    The original logos are a thin metal.

    Does my '24 F3 Limited have AM radio? If so, how do I get it?

    Can you play the AM station on your cell phone, then use the media function to play it through the speakers? Alternatively, if you have a headset you may be able to hear it from your cell phone to your headset.

    Why won't my Spyder trans Auto upshift?

    When riding my 2014 RTL, I too noticed the "automatic" upshifting. After a few times of this phenomenon, I mentioned it to my buddy. His response: "that's impossible." I paid attention to when this phenomenon occurred and noted that the paddle shifter was very sensitive and the least amount of...

    Would you pay full price on a '25 F3S this late in the year?

    If you can, I would wait or look at leftover 23's and 24's. My first RTL (2012) was purchased in June of 2012, the other 2, I waited until March-April to purchase a leftover RTL. My results are: 2012 RTL - 6/30/2012 - $26,499 2014 RTL - 3/17/2015 - $24,715 2022 RTL - 4/14/2023 - $26,497 I...

    Friend looking into Spyders, either a 2016 RT or a 2019 RTL with pretty close mileage & price - any advice/comments/concerns?

    I would lean to the 2019. The 2016 will be 10 yrs. old soon and dealers tend to not work on CanAms older than 10.

    2024 RT L back at the dealer for the 9th time in 3 months!! How long until you give up?

    Perhaps I've misread all the comments and suggestions, but all blame seems to be placed on BRP. However, in this case it's not all on them. Graderman listed 8 problems. 5 seem to be BRP issues and 3 Dealer issues. Whether Dealer or BRP issues, none should occur with a new ride. From what I've...

    Anyone tried Rotating their front directional tires? Worth it?

    I find the search feature brings up many posts that are not applicable so I end rephrasing the search and culling through the chaff. Definitely, not a great search feature.

    Speedometer accuracy - when I set my Cruise to a certain speed, the speedo doesn't match - any others??

    Speedometer accuracy has been an ongoing discussion issue here since Oct. 2009, the furthest back a search for speedometer accuracy goes. I've read that changing tires can improve the accuracy. Another issue that has been discussed frequently is the accuracy of the clock. I believe the clock...
