• 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.

    Any Modification recommendations from those who tour on their Spyders?

    Apple CarPlay was a bit flaky when CAN-AM first got it working on my 2024 Spyder RT S2S, but the only time I've really had a problem with it was in a narrow canyon with limited cell phone signal. That's expected, of course, since it's based on your phone's ability to connect. I bought my 2024...

    Here's some Weird Misinformation about Spyder RT's!!

    Okay, for a couple of minutes I was thinking "What the heck is he talking about?" and was actually doing a Google search... And then I realized what message thread you had posted in. I think I need to get some sleep. 🤣

    I got another New Helmet!

    Since I'm a solo rider I have no need for the intercom functions, but I do understand how useful they would be. My main interest was in pairing with my phone and Spyder so I can hear the Apple CarPlay navigation instructions. :cool:

    Does anyone know where/how to register, book hotels etc for Spyders In Atlantic City 2026?

    Wow. That's a horribly designed website. :oops: I did find a Facebook group for them, but you can only access the information if you join the group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/3812030402368768/ It shows 65 members and 9 posts in the last month, so it's not very active, but it's also not...

    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?

    I was worried about what regular "car" wash and wax products would do to the finish, which is when I started doing some Google searches. I've been happy with the results on my Spyder.

    Here's my Can-Am-pedia - I hope it helps to collect and share info about the Can‑Am On-Road universe.

    Interesting. That would require a software update for our bikes in the next couple of months. I just checked the Apple App Store using my iPhone for the BRP GO! app. There was a new Version 4.1.1 posted a week ago. It says the update added the ability to save a custom waypoint at any time, and...

    I got another New Helmet!

    Thanks. Mine has most of that, including the speaker pockets and wire channels, but the HJC website says the i91 supports a newer bluetooth device design. I use a SENA 3S Plus boom headset in mine. Mine also has the drop down sunshield, which I really like. I wear glasses, and while I do have...

    Here's my Can-Am-pedia - I hope it helps to collect and share info about the Can‑Am On-Road universe.

    Daniel - I've only looked at the Spyder section, but I'm very impressed by the amount of information, but I did notice an error. In the Instrumentation page's "4th Generation (2024…)" section the sub-sections on Connectivity and Navigation you mention BRP Connect and BRP GO!. Those don't...

    After 3 years of planning, I am riding Route 66 starting June 8

    Winslow, Arizona corner... https://standinonthecorner.org/ There's a HUGE US 66 sign on the road there.

    Random thought for the day

    Here's some Song suggestions: Troglodyte - Jimmy Castor Bunch - In The Days Of The Caveman - Crash Test Dummies - Rock With The Caveman - Tommy Steele - - this one has a nice saxophone solo! :D

    You should considering posting the dates of the route, section by section. You might find others willing to meet up with you for a section near them. (y)

    Anybody see a measurable change in fuel mileage with larger diameter rear tire?

    I have been thinking about this, and think I found a way to get close to 40 mpg. I have a 2023 Honda Ridgeline truck, a Stinger CAN-AM trailer, and of course my 2024 Spyder RT S2S. I track the fuel mileage on my Ridgeline, and usually get 21 to 22 mpg. I know that the fuel mileage will go down...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    CAN-AM added the ability to connect to a Wifi network in 2024. I've updated my 2024 Spyder RT a couple of times using my home Wifi network. To get updates for your 2023 you'll need to visit someone who has a BUDS license, like a CAN-AM dealer.

    Here's some Weird Misinformation about Spyder RT's!!

    I think they just get chased by police more frequently since red is more "visible". 😁
