• 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.

    2025 RT Ltd GPS/Navigation - will it work with Android phones, or must I have an iPhone & headset?

    As it says - it runs Apple Carplay so you need an Apple iPhone to communicate. One can use a Bluetooth receiver plugged into the rear power USB to make the bike think that it is a headset and Carplay will work.

    Anyone using a Stand alone Apple CarPlay/Android Device? Any recommendations?

    I had been using the Carpuride since last summer. It handled the elements(rain/sun) well. It would lose signal sometimes, maybe because of the locations I was in??? It would reboot quickly. Now I do not need it with the 2024 Spyder.

    Hi, my insurance wants to see the Vin number stamp, any ideas where it will be? 2015 RT

    I would think that showing the owners manual section of the location of VIN on left side swing arm would be sufficient for the insurance to be confident that it is accurate and not something someone just stuck on.

    Traded my 2022 F3 Ltd for a 2024 F3 Ltd - lots to like!

    Another noticeable difference between the 2022 and 2024 is the 47-52 mph whine is gone. It is very suttle if any but I have heard it on the last two bikes and may be more sensitive to listening for it. Now, more of a normal drivetrain noise. Had my first software update notice and went quite...

    Traded my 2022 F3 Ltd for a 2024 F3 Ltd - lots to like!

    No fog lights with the 2024. The new designed headlamps are better than before and the usefulness of the previous fog lamps no longer that great. Did come with top case with external stowage carrier as the previous model. Did not see on the tires saying Kanines but tread looks as if they are...

    Traded my 2022 F3 Ltd for a 2024 F3 Ltd - lots to like!

    I recently traded my 2022 F3 Limited Special in on a 2024 F3 Limited Special. I really like the new dash display with all of the information available and everything is much easier to see/read. I kept the aftermarket windshield from the 2022 and placed it on the 2024. I had a 2020 RT Limited...

    Damaged a Rim on my F3L when we hit about a 4" rock that slid off of a rock wall by the road - afraid to ask what a new rim will cost!?!

    As others have mentioned above, I hit a foreign object with my car and bent the inside outer rim edge on the front wheel to the point that the wheel would no longer hold air. I took it to a wheel repair shop and they fixed it like new for $125. This was on a aluminium wheel.

    Spyder Apple Carplay won't work without a headset! Any luck in getting BRP to address this safety & inconvenient issue?

    Buy a Bluetooth receiver for about $35 bucks and plug it into the back trunk power source. This will get Apple CarPlay to work with your iPhone.

    Anyone got a Bluetooth module mounted in trunk?

    I have the bluetooth receiver from Lamonster and now use it to get Apple Carplay to work on my 2024 F3L Special. I have it plugged in to the power USB in the trunk with my iPhone plugged in the front. Better than having to buy a headset to get Apple Carplay to work.

    2022 RT Ltd - fan ran the entire ride home & then would not shut off, even when I shut off the Spyder - anyone else? Any ideas?

    Had a similar issue on my 2020RTL a few years back and it was a sticky relay. Banged on it a few times and it stopped. Did not happen again. The fan will run after key off on hot days to cool down engine.

    How do you determine your head Shape when buying a helmet?

    start by measuring directly above your eyebrows with tape measure the circumference of your head. A typical helmet store will have a conversion chart to show if sm,med, or large.

    Can-Am dealers not hungry?

    I have been looking around Cycletrader for a left over 2024 F3 Limited Special and for the most part the dealers are sitting on the high side of pricing even on the non Special models. When you do find a price that you are interested in then they low ball you on your trade. I'm thinking that...

    What, if any, differences or improvements are there on 2024 Spyders over earlier?

    Are the headlamps greatly improved over previous years? I see that they have been redesigned but are they better?

    What, if any, differences or improvements are there on 2024 Spyders over earlier?

    Has the 47-52 mph whine been finally engineered out on the 2024 models? HOW IS THE RADIO reception on the 24 models with the elimination of the antenna? Lighting better?

    Looking for another rider to join me on a Long distance tour, Windsor Ontario to Cape Breton to PEI to Newfoundland and back, July 2025!!!!

    I made that run in 2010. I rode to the Arctic Circle in Alaska the year before with couple of strangers. I suggested to two of them about riding across Newfoundland the next year and we did. Their riding styles were a bit different to mine for I like to ride more and stop less. My day...

    Anyone ever thought of Fender Mounted mirrors??

    As stated by previous responders, the distance from rider and vibration would be quite the obstacle to overcome.
