• 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.

    Hidden Surcharges shouldn't be allowed!

    I have been known to be petty, so I'd file a formal complaint through the corporate office. And I'd do what Gwolf suggested and spend your money elsewhere.

    After some True Can-Am insight - will I be making a huge mistake buying the RTL or F3?

    Interesting that they left the Garmin mount, since the 2020's didn't come with a GPS from CAN-AM. The 2018's did have a Garmin GPS option from CAN-AM. I will say that when I first got my 2024 Spyder I "hardwired" a Garmin GPS mount to the accessory power port. That required removing several of...

    For those going to Maggie Valley next week, Keep an eye on the weather!

    I just checked the North Carolina Department of Transportation website. https://drivenc.gov/?type=incident&id=713873 It says: Sounds like 1 lane is open in each direction, and speeds are significantly reduced, but you can still get through. Google maps thinks Cold Springs Creek Road is...

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

    My 2023 Honda Ridgeline truck has TPMS and it works very well.

    A different question about tires - are any of the non-OEM tires any quieter?

    Have you checked the pressure in both tires?

    For those going to Maggie Valley next week, Keep an eye on the weather!

    I'll be arriving on Monday, probably late afternoon. Weather.com is currently using the terms "occasional" and "intermittent" for showers on Tuesday, with "a shower or two" early on Wednesday. My hotel reservation runs through Saturday, so I'll be there for all of the events. I'm still going...

    I've gone from ATGATT to H (just Helmet).

    Well, that might cause a problem. On the other side of the back wall of the garage is the laundry room and the master bath. I've heard of Harley riders that bring their bikes inside their homes, but I'm not quite there yet. :LOL:

    Do you know someone? And are you offering a referral?

    I've gone from ATGATT to H (just Helmet).

    I'm on team ATGATT! Well, most of the time. I have been known to ride my Spyder without all of my gear. In fact, I'll probably do it tomorrow. I have a 2 car garage that currently is holding: South bay: 2023 Honda Ridgeline Sport North bay: Gorilla cart steel utility cart, John Deer E130 lawn...

    What is this mystery part in the Fog Light schematic - 'Braveway' - What does it do?

    Braveway appears to be a brand that sells lighting. https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/DF3D28DE-F74C-4CCB-8247-3A67089C8030 The box is probably a relay.

    What is the recommended Tire pressure for a Canyon?

    The Operator's Guide for my Spyder has a section on tire pressure. It even has a picture of the sticker/label under the driver's seat that shows the recommended tire pressures.

    Has anyone else had issues pairing Android 14/15 phones/tablets to their Spyder?

    This CAN-AM website has a lot of information about BRP GO and BRP Connect and how to get things working. There's even a section on "How to connect..." via bluetooth. https://can-am.brp.com/on-road/nz/en/discover-can-am/technologies/brp-go/faq.html

    For those going to Maggie Valley next week, Keep an eye on the weather!

    I'll be packing my rain suit and hoping I don't need it. And a couple of towels to dry off my Spyder if needed.

    CarPlay Froze, then entire Head Unit Froze Up While Riding, then supposedly updated and rebooted on the Highway - Anyone else had this happen?

    Some updates. So my iPhone SE 2nd Gen that I've had for several years has finally stopped holding a charge. It used to be that after an overnight charge it would easily last the entire next day, and sometimes longer. But in the past week the battery has only lasted a couple of hours before...

    Any ideas on adding an aftermarket USB for phone charging during travels on our 2017 RT?

    I went with a powered docking station from Slingmods.com. They have them for a variety of Spyder models and years. They mount to the handlebars and include instructions for wiring them for power. This link is to the 2010 to 2019 Spyder RT model...
