• 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.

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

    So I live near Cookeville, Tennessee and recently attended the Spyders in the Delta Rally in Bono, Arkansas. It's over 350 miles (560 kms) from my house to the location of the rally. I ride a 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky, and have been using Apple Carplay on my Spyder for about a year. Up until this...

    Is there any way to adjust the Gauges Backlighting?

    The Operator's Guide for my 2024 Spyder RT says the display brightness adjustment is in the Preferences applet. I don't know if your 2016 RT-S has that option. You can download an Acrobat PDF copy of your Operators Guide from: https://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/P/5

    A different take on HD logo on stuff!

    My rainsuit is from Bilt, which apparently is the Walmart of motorcycle gear. My Sedici Avventura jacket is water proof, so I was really only interested in the pants. What I like about them is that the legs are really wide, so they easily pull on over my riding boots, and have a zipper at the...

    A different take on HD logo on stuff!

    Yeah, I was the guy who bought an HD branded helmet to take the MSF Basic Rider Course. The main reason I bought the HD helmet is that it was listed as the best for someone who wears glasses. It has slits built into the padding at your temples for the stems of the glasses to fit into. And it's a...

    Spyders in the Delta

    So when I checked in to the hotel I carried my helmet in with me. One of the people behind the checkin counter asked if I was on a motorcycle, and what color it was. Before I could answer she said all of her friends wore black helmets and she'd never seen a white motorcycle helmet. I had parked...

    I got another New Helmet!

    Well, I'm at the hotel for the night, a couple of hours ride from where the Spyders in the Delta rally is being held. I'll ride over in the morning. I plotted a route to avoid the interstate freeways, which I now think was a mistake. I expected it to take longer than the freeways, but I...

    Is a BEST extended warranty a good idea? What's the process on selling your BEST warrantied Spyder?

    I would have to pay out of pocket to have a different dealer take care of my Spyder. Your question tweaked my brain, so I brought up the dealer's website to see if I can garner any information about their business. And I was wrong. In the discussions with the sales person, I was told about 2...

    Buying a 2025 RT Limited - is the VIP Loyalty Program worth it? Is the Extended Warranty worth it?

    The VIP Loyalty Program and Extended Warranty Contract are not something that CAN-AM will support. They're something your local dealer is selling you, and unless they have multiple locations, you can only take it to that one location for coverage.

    Spyders in the Delta

    I'm leaving from the Cookeville, TN area on Tuesday, May 13th in the late morning. Using Interstate 40 it's a little over 5 hours to Bono, AR. Much of I-40 is 70 MPH (about 113 KPH), but I still don't trust the other driver's on the interstate, so I've mapped a route using U.S. Route 70N...

    Callers cannot hear me when I answer thru Apple CarPlay - any help appreciated?

    Are you using a headset in your helmet, that is bluetooth paired to your Spyder so you hear the navigation instructions? Did you also bluetooth pair your helmet headset directly to your phone? I have a Sena headset that supports bluetooth pairing to two phones and a "GPS" device. I have it...

    What's the Benefit of pairing helmet intercoms to the bike?

    I have a SENA 3S Plus Boom Microphone Kit installed in my helmet. If I'm reading the User Guide correctly, it can pair to two different cell phones, a GPS device, another SENA device for intercom communications, and also paired to a non-SENA device for intercom communications. I'm a solo...

    I got another New Helmet!

    Google says the normal life span of a motorcycle helmet is 5 years. If it was damaged I'd replace it immediately.

    Anyone with a new iPhone have a problem using Sygic maps on BRP Connect?
