• 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.

    2026 Sea to Sky - cannot find the Battery Tender Pigtail - any ideas???

    The battery is in the frunk, so open it, then unzip the lining, and see if it's there. You may even want to remove the battery cover to see if it's hidden behind it.

    Anyone purchased an OBD Tool for a 2023 RT?

    Page 41 of Operator's Guide for a 2023 Spyder RT says the diagnostic connector is under the Front Service Cover, and shows how to remove the Front Service Cover. But, I'm pretty sure the diagnostic port is not an OBD-II port, but instead is a CAN-BUS port.

    Anyone purchased an OBD Tool for a 2023 RT?

    The answer might depend on the year and model of your Spyder. :)

    Trailering the Spyder - could use some tips on fastening it down?

    Looks a lot like my Stinger did when it was delivered... I had to go check, as it's been a few years. My Stinger CAN-AM Combo Trailer was $3,999 + $449 shipping. I ended up with the "Combo" version of the Stinger CAN-AM because that's all that was available at the time. The regular Stinger...

    Trailering the Spyder - could use some tips on fastening it down?

    My Stinger trailer also folds up, and normally sits in a corner of my garage.

    Trailering the Spyder - could use some tips on fastening it down?

    I have a Stinger CAN-AM Trailer that was specifically designed for hauling Spyders and Rykers. It has three ramps that you drive the Spyder onto, with vertical stops at the front for the front wheels. I have a picture that shows the way I tie down the front wheels. For the rear wheel I have a...

    Any way to connect my bluetooth iPod to 2026 F3L?

    I checked a copy of the 2016 Spyder RT Operators Guide that I have and it does have a list of iPod Devices that can be connected to a 2016. I see a similar list in the 2017 Spyder RT Operators Guide. I don't have a 2018, 2019, or 2020 Operator's Guide, but the 2021 Spyder RT Operator's Guide has...

    Can I mount an iPhone on the handlebars of a 2020 up to 2023 RT and play music from it over the Spyder's sound system?

    There are "Audio" and "Audio Control" sections on Page 47 the 2022 Spyder RT Operator's Guide. There appear to be controls for setting the input to the AUX connector, and controlling the output to either a helmet headset or to the speakers. But, it says the USB AUX connector is specifically for...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Yes, if you're driving through a state they have to "honor" a license issued by another state by not arresting or citing you for being an unlicensed driver. But if you move to a new state and are trying to get a driver's license in that new state you have to abide by their rules as to how you...

    Has anyone else had Update issues from their dealer on their 2025 Spyder?

    I bought and used a Garmin Zumo XT when I first bought my Spyder, which was before CAN-AM got Apple CarPlay to work. I have ridden in a deep, narrow canyon where there was no cell signal at all. Once out of the canyon it started working again. I also went on a multiple day trip from Tennessee...

    Wireless, Bluetooth, & Camera "fun" - (But not via BRP Go/Connect)

    Bluetooth answers...maybe... ;) The documentation for the model of bluetooth headsets is going to be where most of your answers are located. I ride with a SENA 3S Plus bluetooth headset in my helmet. It allows for connections to two separate phones, a GPS device, and also has intercom...
