• 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.

    Is Running Diesel Oil in Your Spyder such a good idea?

    This diesel oil must be some sort of miracle cure for everything. They use it on the Vmax forum, on my Ford Lightning group, and on the newer Coyote 5.0 engines in the Mustang to get rid of the "typewriter tick". I haven't tried it on any of my vehicles, but a lot of people have, and I only...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Went to another open house and wellness check up at the dealership in Winston Salem, NC. Got to talk to an old friend for a while who is a Can Am Ambassador and works there doing some assembly. He rides the first Canyon (that I know of), in NC. KI got a chance to sit on them and see/talk to him...

    Canyon Redrock Ride Review by Lamonster

    Good to hear your review, but even better to actually see you out and about. Still praying for you brother!

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Went to an open house at a dealership that was also doing free inspections and small work. Was hoping they could help me with the stuck passenger seat on my 2016 F3L Special Series. All they did was tell me they could order a new cable and make an appointment. They did however check the air...

    Another Dealer Drops the Spyder Line

    Performance East in Goldsboro, NC dropped their spyder line 2 weeks ago. We had an open house with free inspections scheduled for this past Saturday. Got a message that they did not renew their contract and everything was pulled. They can order parts, but no sales or service of vehicles.

    Finally got my Spyder!

    Very nice looking Spyder. I have become spoiled with the SE6 transmission, but the SM6 is loads of fun. As for recalls, I think the only one for the 2016 model would be the drive pulley. There is no shaft recall on that year (I still have a 2016 F3L). You should be a lot more comfortable on that...

    Water depth for fording a river for Can Am Spyder Canyon

    As Raven said, this is not a 4x4 and in fact, it only has one drive wheel. I think a large part of the limiting factor will be the one wheel drive. I found that to be the problem when I tried my Spyders in the snow. The RT did better, but simply because there was more weight on the drive...

    Canyon Sitting on the Showroom Floor!

    There are 3 different dealerships doing open house and inspections over the next 2 weekends. I am hoping one of them will have a Canyon in stock to sit on.

    Seat latch won't open - any new ideas?

    Glad this came up again. I am having the same issue with my wife's 2016 F3L Special Series. If I ever get it to unlatch, I will definitly be running a cable to the side. Don't wanna chance breaking the key in the switch.

    2023 RT Side Luggage won't open any hints/help please?

    I have had both of mine adjusted and ended up having them both replaced on my 2021 RTL. This is the worst design that I have seen. It appears that they tried to mimic the latches on the F3T and F3L. But I have owned 2 F3T's and a 2016 F3L and had no issues. They are problematic, to the point...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    74 degrees here this past Saturday, but I decided to be responsible and organize my tools in the garage. After working on that for about 6 hours and finding tools that I didn't even remember having, I decided to ride the wife's spyder around the block in order to keep the battery charged...

    Trouble loading pictures - how can I make them smaller?

    With the new forum format, it seems that all of the pictures that I used to could load are now too large. If I try an attachment, or load it as an image, it still gives an error about the picture being too big. Is there an issue that I don't know about? How can I make my images smaller?

    NO Canyon Demo's at Daytona Bike Week - VERY Disappointed In BRP!

    I remember a local dealership having a Can Am Demo Day back when COVID was going on and bikes, cars, etc. were in short supply. They had one RT and 2 Rykers on demo, but no new F3 series. I say no new F3 series because they did have one F3T for them to demo - It was the 2016 F3T that I had sold...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Going to be around 70 today tomorrow, Thursday, and Saturday. Gonna take the wife's spyder out today, just to keep the battery charged and check my post office box. I have a jobsite meeting Thursday, so I will be riding my RT. Not sure what I will do Saturday, but i will be riding somewhere...

    What are the tinting options on a stock windshield?

    I had a F4 windshield that I purchased used and it was clear. I didn't like the look so I used some plastic dip and did a nice little tint job on the lower portion. It came out really great. For some reason it says the file is too large and i cannot upload the picture here.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Cool! I met KD while I was gearing up for a ride. He had to slow down for a car to turn into the park across the street from my house. At the time we had just bought Suzuki M109. When he pulled off I knew exactly what type of bike it was. I hopped on my bike and took off in the direction that...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    He will be on his 2020 RTL, that is the key reason I am leaning towards the Spyder. As with any planned ride, I don't count the people going until the day of the ride, at the meet up location. We have been riding together since we met in 2008, so he is very dependable, but you never know. Tire...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Ordered a new rear tire and an oil change kit from Lamonster for my 2021 RTL. Getting it prepared for the cross country trip that my buddy and I are doing in May. I am super excited. Still not 100% sure I will be taking the spyder. There is still a small possiblity that I will be doing this...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Replaced the original battery in my 2016 F3L Special Series. This battery has only been using a tender for the past 6-8 months, after it started to turn slow if not ridden over a 3 week period. I gotta say, 9 years was a very good run. Especially considering I have just replaced the battery...
