• 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.

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    Both the general manager and the mechanic are good friends of mine. I know that they did not make this up. In the over 10 years I have been doing business with the dealership they have never steered me wrong.

    Do you struggle putting on the rear license plate of your F3 T or L? Try this!

    I just used these. Push them into the slots in the fender. It might take a little force, but they go in. I have not had a problem in over 20k miles...

    Is the Alternator shaft squeal just a nuisance, or is it damaging anything?

    I should have been a little more clear. When I took the bike in for the 3k service, the tech noticed the squeal. I had not noticed it. The tech said that it was a known problem and ordered the parts (shaft) to fix it. When the parts came in I took the bike in and the new parts were installed.

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    You could be correct, but my mechanic told me that the tires for the 24+ models were new XPS tires were designed to work with the upgrades to the VSS. He also said that they are not backward compatible. If he is correct, I do not think that BRP would ship the new bikes without XPS tires...

    Is the Alternator shaft squeal just a nuisance, or is it damaging anything?

    I replaced the Chinese battery with a Yuasa before I took delivery of the bike.

    Is the Alternator shaft squeal just a nuisance, or is it damaging anything?

    There is a TSB out for this problem. My 2025 F3-T was making that noise. When I took it for it's 3K service, the dealer replaced the offending parts at no charge.

    Anyone found a Wireless Car Play/Android Auto Adapter that works with 2024 and up Spyders?

    This BRP website shows what you can do and will be able to do on the 10.25" screen. It is not specific to any model, just the screen. It says that "on road navigation" will be available in the spring of 2026 and that it will (should) work with android and IOS...

    Anyone found a Wireless Car Play/Android Auto Adapter that works with 2024 and up Spyders?

    Won't this all be moot when Can Am releases the next software up grade that is supposed to include Android Auto and will be totally wireless?

    Learning to ride this bike: my progress so far

    My first time riding a Spyder was in November of 2021, the day I picked it up from the dealer. My state requires a 3 wheel endorsement which I did not have and the dealer would not let me test drive it before I purchased it. Fortunately the dealers parking lot is large. I spent about 30 minutes...

    What could cause this Squeal on starting out in first gear?

    I have 2025 F3-T and it is making the same noise. I just had it in for it's 3k service and the tech told me that the noise is coming from the shaft that turns the alternator. He ordered the shaft and a bolt or screw that a TSB said needs to be replaced. I'm having the work done next week. The...

    Apple CarPlay update - what is the secret to getting it working properly??

    I had a similar problem with Android Auto in my car. You have to give the phone enough time to build the route. I found that with Android Auto, if I did not do that, then the screen would freeze up. Sometimes after a few feet, and sometimes after a mile or more. When I let the phone build the...

    Battery/Starting slow spin - is this common & why doesn't it start like a normal motorcycle?

    Sarah, my 2025 F3-T came with a Chinese battery. It was not the Haijiu, but I had the dealer install a Yuasa before I took delivery.
