• 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.

    Will shaft drive be coming to the 1330?

    I agree, but Spyder Owners in Roanoke Virgina Area all know that there is only one Dealer in Roanoke, so they know who it is. Owners outside the area don’t need to know the Name, and can easily do a search. But the Can Am Dealer 50 miles away that does deserve Recognition is Virgal Naff...

    Will shaft drive be coming to the 1330?

    Jas, My 2009 V-Twin 1600 CC Belt driven Harley doesn’t vibrate or chatter, any where nearly as bad as either my 2012 and 2016 RTs have. Vibration & Chatter are two different feelings. Spyders chatter, and V-Twins with unbalanced engines Vibrate, but don’t chatter. If you search all the treads...

    Will shaft drive be coming to the 1330?

    Age is only a condition of mind. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. I will be 77 in another month, and my aches & pains are only a condition of Mind, but not really mine. HaHa. My 2016 RT was tied up for 2-1/2 months this Summer while they floundered around replacing the failed Front Pulley...

    Will shaft drive be coming to the 1330?

    I would really like to feel a smoother ride on my RT. I have tried all of the tricks, mentioned on these forums, and run Doc’s Belt Dampener, and new balenced tires, and have had Dealers adjust the Belt tension, which only moves the belt chatter to happen at different speeds. After logging about...

    TIRE PSI

    I may as well chime in to add my 2 cents. I am really starting to believe no 2 Riders will get the same results. It all depends on one or two up, Freeways or Country Roads, and I recently read some one post in a Harley Forum that tires wear out faster when riding on the Blue Ridge Parkway...

    And they thought cow farts were so bad?

    Cow farts collected and stored produce Cow Power. I wonder how many Cow Powers a 1330 Rotax engine produces, if a Methane gas conversion kit was offered by BRP? https://www.fastcompany.com/3028933/these-backpacks-for-cows-collect-their-fart-gas-and-store-it-for-energy A Texas Company I once...

    2014 RT stranded in Winslow, AZ

    WOW! Thanks for the update, altho sad news. Your Spyder must be jixed. Any chance that BRP will take it back and credit you the Market Retail Value towards a Ryker?

    Ryder, a winner for Can Am

    Maybe BRP will eventually offer optional Pond Tunes on them so they can ride on the water with Seadoos. The Off Roaders that try to keep up with the 4x4 ATVs in the Mug Bogs, will fly by the Single rear wheel Rykers stuck in the mud with their back wheel spinning. But then, optional Wenches will...

    Ryder, a winner for Can Am

    Ryker riders will just have to wear their Back Packs on the shoulder opposite of the side the Saddle Bag is mounted to balence the weight.

    Ryder, a winner for Can Am

    BRP is really PUSHING Dealers to jump on their Ryker Program. They are “ Strong Arming” them in to Submission to buy X number of Rykers, up front, before they are even proven to be reliable, successful, Investments’ for Dealers. Worse, the Dealers are asked to vomit $10,000 up front, for a Ryker...

    Belt Tensioner Pulley from Lamonster

    For your referenice, ( future), I installed Doc’s Tensioner on my 2016 RT Limited at 1500 miles. I had my rear tire changed today at 25,500 miles, ( #3) ,and Doc’s Tensioner is still working OK. And the Roller spins like new. The blue coating is a little worn, but not much. Hope your BRP...

    2014 RT stranded in Winslow, AZ

    When my 2012 had only 12,700 miles on it, I took it to my Dealer just to have my oil and filter changed. Remember when BRP in their Owner’s Manual recoomended changing the oil every 3000 miles? I sure wasted a lot of money on oil changes before BRP revised the Oil Change intervals, because I...

    Ryker burn out

    I don’t think Mike is on forced Time out. It is Voluntary. I hope I was not included in his decision to take a vacation from the forum, by any of my comments. Mike means well, and has Spyder Member’s best interests and successes in his heart. He just invites Knee Jerks from Knee Jerk Jockies (...

    My Most Expensive Tire Change

    Congrats! I wonder what that Dealer will do with an RT with 84,000 miles on it? I only had 55,000 miles on mine, and couldn’t sell it privately, other than trade. Dealers should keep those high mileage Spyders and use them as Service Loaners to Customers. Unless there is a Market for high...

    2014 RT stranded in Winslow, AZ

    This Thread should convince all Spyder Owners that buy new Spyders to buy the BEST Waurentee extension. But any one buying a used Spyder with no Waurentee is taking a definite Risk, no matter how low the mileage, considering the Owner Sharing reports on this Forum. As for me, I have never...

    "Whistling ST-Limited"

    My RT !imited has always whistled. If you look at the front Sprocket, there are round holes all around it. As it turns, the holes might cut the wind sounding like a Wind Instrument. The faster you go, the higher RPMs the Sprocket turns, with a louder whistle. That’s my guess. I installed the...

    Insallation of new rear tire

    As a Fan of the Kuhmo 225/50R 91H tire, I had 3 of them on my 2012 RT Limited, and liked them. I got an average of 14,000 mils per tire and really liked how my Spyder handled. Now, I have a 2016 RT Limited, and am VERY surprised and disappointed to share, that I have my first Khumo on it, and at...

    Front Sprocket Failure

    I agree that we need at least two in the garage after 70, especially if we don’t want any down time between break downs. At 76, I can’t wait to see another year’s newest Models, because I could break down any day along with my Spyder, which broke down with Sproket failure in May and was down for...

    Front Sprocket Failure

    BRP is discounting the 2018 RT Limited at $5500 Discount presently on Internet Ads! It will be interesting to see what the Year old Rykers in Show Rooms will be discounted for, and if they follow the 20% per year and more, depreciation as the RTs have done, the $8500 Rykers will kill the used RT...
