• 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.

    What are your Phone Holder Preferences? Brand/style & placement?

    Do you have the Vibration Dampener for your Quad Lock? My first ride using the Quad Lock, with the Quad Lock Vibration Dampener, had my phone vibrating a lot.

    What are your Phone Holder Preferences? Brand/style & placement?

    I had been using an Arkon RoadVise phone holder, but have switched to a QuadLock case and mount for my phone. Like @Mandorallen my QuadLock is mounted next to the left hand grip.

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    Well, life interrupted my plans to take a short (~25 mile) ride to test things a couple of days ago, but I was able to get out for a ride today. I ended up driving about 10 miles and then turned around and drove home. I was doing something different than I had planned. Apple Carplay supports a...

    Does anyone have real info on when we can expect to see 2024-25 Service Manuals?

    The 2024 Spyder RT Repair and Maintenance Manual is available now from: https://brpmanuals.com/product-category/rykers-spyders/ US $24.50 I looked at several eBay listings for manuals on CD-ROM and some on USB drives. None of those I looked at claimed to be an actual CAN-AM service manual...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    Is your headset paired directly to your phone? My Sena headset allows for 3 separate Bluetooth pairings; two pairings to cell phones, and one pairing to a "GPS" device. I have my iPhone paired as phone one, and the Spyder is paired as the GPS device.

    Trying to source a Bumpskid for my F3S, but everywhere shows 'out of stock' - any ideas why? Or where to get one?

    I did a Google search on "bumpskids" and Spyder Pops came up at the top of the list. https://spyderpops.com/bumpskids/ There were two pages of results on the Spyder Pops site. Most were listed as "out of stock", but several were listed as "preorder now", at least one said "choose options", and...

    What is the Correct Garmin for my '16 RT Ltd?

    I'm pretty sure the "mount" comes built into the 2016s.

    How do I remove the screws on the front splash panels?

    You mean the black plastic push pins that hold the body panels in place? The center pulls up, and then you can remove the pin. They actually make a tool for it. https://www.slingmods.com/canam-spyder-push-pins-body-panel-clips

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    A good point, although I'm not sure I'd go quite that far. I do have some pipe cleaners, so I'll use one of them to clean it out. A bit of research, and I found some plugs/dust covers for the USB connector, and also some wrist straps/lanyards designed to keep yourself connected to your cell...

    How do I select and set-up Red Rock custom mode?

    I download an Acrobat PDF copy of the Operator's Guide for a 2025 Canyon and was able to find several pages which might be the settings you are looking to change. https://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/ Ride Settings Button - Drive Mode - Page 3-23 and pages following Smart-Shox Suspension Mode...

    Anyone with a 2024 or newer (large screen display) installed a Carpuride and Have sound?

    You may be right. In practice there may be no difference, except that Android Auto is only supported on a few motorcycle models, while Apple Carplay is available on a lot more motorcycles. And to be honest, CAN-AM's initial "support" for Apple Carplay was horrible. My 2024 Spyder supposedly...

    Anyone with a 2024 or newer (large screen display) installed a Carpuride and Have sound?

    That's more of an Android issue than it is a CAN-AM issue. https://carpuride.com/blogs/news/can-i-use-android-auto-on-motorcycle

    Anyone with a 2024 or newer (large screen display) installed a Carpuride and Have sound?

    The Operators Guide for my 2024 Spyder RT does not have any reference to an audio input plug. I have copies of the Operators Guide for some older Spyders, and found references to an audio input jack in these: 2023 Spyder RT Operators Guide 2022 Spyder F3 Operators Guide 2016 Spyder RT Operators...

    Maggie Valley Spyder Adventures 2025 - Sep 30 thru Oct 3

    I'll be attending, along with a small group from Middle Tennessee. The numbers are a bit fluid at this point, but there will be 4 or 5 bikes, and 5 or 6 people. Our current plans are to leave the Cookeville, TN area on Monday, and ride the backroads over to Maggie Valley. We'll be returning on...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    :::grumblegrumblegrumble::: So I spent the time from my last post, about an hour, in the garage with my Spyder. I did start the Spyder's engine and had it idling during all of the testing. I then powered on the headset and confirmed that it connected. I was testing four original Apple USB to...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    I drove over to Wally World just after lunchtime, and picked up a Belkin USB-A to Lightning cable in order to prove that the Apple cable was not the problem. And earlier while checking the cables I had on hand, I found a total of four genuine Apple USB-A to Lightning cables. One with my Spyder...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    Yeah, I am not convinced... Especially since Carplay wouldn't work when I first started the Spyder in Joneseboro, Arkansas to ride home. And didn't work for about 90 minutes as I traveled South to Memphis, and then turned East towards Nashville. But shortly after starting towards Nashville on...
