• 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.

    You Don't Know What You've Got Till It's Gone

    Spyder's in the Ozarks in September 2025? Where do I find information? I'm registered for the Appalachian Fall 2025 event in Kodak, TN at the end of September, and the Maggie Valley Spyder Adventures the first week of October.

    2023 Spyder RTL-How do I view the voltmeter?

    Sorry, my original response was for the 10.25" 2024 display, which does have a voltmeter. The smaller 7.8" display on the 2023 Spyders doens't appear to have one.

    It looks like the FOBO TPMS site has gone belly up! Just letting you know...

    The website also works for me in Tennessee, USA.

    Anyone else getting this "Update Server Unreachable" message for Software Update Ver 4.1?

    I was able to connect and download the 4.1 BRP Connect update on July 7th using the WiFi network in my house. When I was downloading the update it did mention that it included some bug fixes for Apple CarPlay. On July 15th I took it for a ride that lasted a little over 3 hours. Most of the trip...

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

    Google agrees that Canada doesn't have a "lemon law" like some US states, but they do have: Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan https://www.camvap.ca/

    I got another New Helmet!

    So let's talk baseball! My first motorcycle was a red Yamaha Seca 550. I got a great price on it because the owner of the Yamaha shop was one of our "friend group" and the Seca was actually a couple of years old and still in it's original shipping crate. He also sold me a helmet, but I have no...

    Any suggestions on Adding bluetooth to a 2012 RT? Is the SM10 the only way?

    There are phone apps for radio, like iHeartRadio. Bluetooth pair your SMH10 to your phone and then run the iHearRadio app. I don't know wether the Carpuride supports radio.

    About to pull the trigger on a 2023 or 2025 Spyder RT Dark - what am I really paying for? Any other major considerations on differences?

    I bought my 2024 Spyder RT in April 2024, before Can-Am figured out how to get Apple CarPlay to work correctly. So I bought and used a Garmin Zumo XT motorcycle GPS (which works fine). Even after the software update that added Apple CarPlay, there were still problems, including one long ride I...

    My first impressions of the 2023 Spyder RTL

    I'd also recommend checking the tire pressure in both front tires. They should be with in 1 psi of each other.

    Think of changing from a Freewheeler - is the Spyder any easier &/or safer?

    Even those Spyder parts that are impossible to find? ;)

    Think of changing from a Freewheeler - is the Spyder any easier &/or safer?

    Maybe you should print out a Harley Davidson logo, tape it to the frunk lid of a Spyder, and offer to let him take it for a ride around the parking lot... or around the block.

    Where can I buy a 2008 GS backrest?

    I checked some of the websites I'm familiar with for Spyder parts and did not find a backrest for a 2008. I did find a custom seat, however, which includes backrest options. https://www.slingmods.com/can-am-spyder-gs-rs-ultimate-custom-seats
