• 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.

    Sorry--I'm not getting any spam like you describe. Maybe check with your e-mail provider as sometimes they update filters and something goes wrong, allowing spam to get through.

    How many 2022 Spyders Coming?? Shout if you've ordered/got one!

    I still don't get it. Why would a "new list" get a trike earlier than people who preordered? Are preorders being cancelled by customers? Is the dealership cancelling preorders then reselling them with a markup (highly unethical if they are)? I can't seem to make sense of the "new list." Dealers...

    How often do you upgrade/replace your helmets?

    I also replace every 3-5 years. The Styrofoam, glues, and resins will lose their protective properties from exposure to heat, cold, sweat, and oils from your skin/hair. After about 5 years, there's no guarantee the helmet will do it's job in a crash. I've never changed a helmet for cosmetic...

    How many 2022 Spyders Coming?? Shout if you've ordered/got one!

    I don't get it--cancel your existing order, and move yourself to the back of the line (and give up the 1 year extra warranty from the preorder) by joining a 'New List?' Sounds like a great idea... :D Does he just mean to join their waiting list, and if they get an unsold one in stock before you...

    Anyone received their 2022 Spyder or news on Delivery, Delays, & Omissions?

    My dealer has my 2022 RT--which is a month earlier than they previously told me. It is missing some parts (like everyone else's), but she said they've been getting parts faster than the 45 days BRP guarantees. She said watercraft electronics were showing up in 1 to 2 weeks. Regardless--I'll have...

    Anyone received their 2022 Spyder or news on Delivery, Delays, & Omissions?

    Interesting. Those are like $4k-$5k more than the RT Base I have a down payment on (and I'd have to see if I could get that back). I'm supposed to hear something in the next couple of days on my preorder--if I don't, I'll reach out for sure.

    Anyone received their 2022 Spyder or news on Delivery, Delays, & Omissions?

    That's crazy--there aren't any new 2021s within 250 miles of Atlanta. I would have bought one of those 2 months ago if they existed. I do see 2017s with 15,000 miles on them that are asking for more than new Spyders--I'd rather wait then spend that much money on something 5 years old.

    Anyone received their 2022 Spyder or news on Delivery, Delays, & Omissions?

    I know my dealer has a file that lists what is supposed to ship when. Another local dealer has a listing of available units on their website so customers can see what's supposed to arrive each month. I'd expect yours has access to the same thing.

    Now we need to be on the lookout for E15 gas!

    Overall impact to the environment is no better (and potentially worse) for Ethanol compared to gasoline. Gas mileage is worse, and E15 can create engine problems down the road because engines are tuned for the difference--all to save maybe 10 cents/gallon (and that's only because so much of the...

    Is training really needed to ride a Spyder?

    I second this. I took the MSF course before I got my first M license and it was great--I used skills learned in that class more than once over the several years I was riding. Anyway, life happens and I found myself without a motorcycle for a period of 3 or 4 years, so I took the class again when...

    How many 2022 Spyders Coming?? Shout if you've ordered/got one!

    This seems a little dramatic. Plenty of dealers still have unsold 2022s on order--people acting like Can-Am won't deliver anything this year. Price is going up because of inflation--computer chips, polymers, metals, wiring harnesses, and transportation costs are all going up. Can-Am won't eat...

    Anyone received their 2022 Spyder or news on Delivery, Delays, & Omissions?

    People can still get 2022s. When Can-Am says everything for 2022 is sold, they mean to the dealers. All the dealers around me have units they ordered for the showroom floor. My dealer has sold everything through their June shipment, but nothing from the July shipment. Other dealers around me...

    Is training really needed to ride a Spyder?

    If someone has only ever driven a car, I'd recommend they take the Can-Am class. The value of the class isn't in how to drive one or feel comfortable because it's super easy to just twist and go--but the training has people learn and practice emergency maneuvers (braking, swerving, etc). Someone...

    Anyone received their 2022 Spyder or news on Delivery, Delays, & Omissions?

    Word from my dealer is my May 12 ship date may have moved forward because she was seeing it on the April 11 truck out of Quebec. She was a little confused, but I may actually get mine sooner than I thought. She warned me all the watercraft she's received were missing electronics, but despite the...

    How many 2022 Spyders Coming?? Shout if you've ordered/got one!

    That stinks. My dealer in Georgia has one delivery scheduled every month, with the first truck (supposedly) leaving Quebec on April 11 with her final delivery of the season scheduled for July 31. She said everything is sold except the product in the July shipment (which she's not super excited...

    I mean, we’re getting new 2022s for less than people are paying for used, so there’s that!

    How many 2022 Spyders Coming?? Shout if you've ordered/got one!

    My dealer called me today and said based on the latest info she has, mine is now listed to ship next week! I’m not holding my breath until it’s confirmed on a truck, but stuff is moving. She did say watercraft have been arriving without parts, but the parts are showing up after a week or two...

    How many 2022 Spyders Coming?? Shout if you've ordered/got one!

    I was content waiting on my May delivery until I saw people updating to July! I just left a message with my dealer to see if they have an update (I'll post when they respond). One of the mega dealers near me has an F3-L on the floor, so I called to see if it was actually available and what the...

    At what point do you call it a lemon or POS

    I don't know how the ratings are generated, but my local mega-dealers is a silver but my local independent dealer is platinum. I think there has to be a customer satisfaction portion of the score. Here's what I was able to find: A Platinum certified dealer consistently exceeds the highest...
