• 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.

    At what point do you call it a lemon or POS

    I'm not a big fan of the mega dealers like RideNow and Mountain Motorsports. Go to the Can Am website and try to find a local, platinum or gold dealer. The smaller dealers tend to care more about good customer service than the mega dealers.

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

    Wow! Can't say I'm surprised, though. I'd heard a rumor some dealers had started taking orders for 2023. I suspect other dealers still haven't sold everything they ordered for the showroom floor, so I think it's still possible people could get one this summer. I just looked, and Mountain...

    Dealer Gouging on 2022 Ryker models

    When I bought my Ryker in 2019, I don't think my dealer charged me for freight and assembly. They also gave me 25% off any accessories I bought at the same time and gave me free installation--so I loaded up with everything I wanted. 3 years later I decided to upgrade to a Spyder. I went back to...

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

    You should get this soon. I was out messing around last weekend and stopped by my local motorcycle dealer to see what was in stock. They had 3 Rykers on the showroom floor.

    Who has or has not had problems with their Ryker??

    I had a 2019 900 ACE that I just sold (getting a Spyder RT assuming they ever come in...) and never had an issue beyond normal maintenance. Mine did have the fuel pump whine, but I realized it was only with less than a half tank of gas and when temps were above 80. My super easy fix was to make...

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

    I saw yesterday that Ford and GM have shut down factories in Detroit that build Mustangs, Camaros, and some Cadillacs because they can't get parts. It's worse in Europe with BMW, Mercedes, and Volkswagen all slowing or idling production. At this point, I'm just hopeful the recent CEO message...

    Shop Rates! Wow!

    $180 is definitely above average--but last time I went in was over a year ago. With the wage inflation and labor shortage, I can't say I'm shocked to see shop rates rising rapidly. If you can find an independent shop that works on Can-Am, they're usually cheaper than dealer rates.

    What's everyone wearing for Riding Jackets?

    I wear a Scorpion Yosemite--mesh jacket with removable liner. It's great for all but the coldest days in Georgia. I've also got the matching over pants for cold days or long rides.

    What does it take to Remove the Dealer Decals on my F3?

    I used a hair dryer to take one off my car. I told my dealer I didn’t want it, so they gave me a discount for the advertising if I kept it. I accepted the discount then removed it as soon as I got home.

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

    I'm also in manufacturing and agree. I don't care if supplemental labor is installing windscreens, saddle bags, rearview mirrors, seats, etc.--I'd hope they aren't working on things that are mechanical or electrical. But, yeah--I worried, too, when he mentioned cancelling orders. Probably a real...

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

    I just watched it. I'm actually worried about the quality of what they'll ship. Office workers being asked to build Spyders after their normal work day is done? That doesn't inspire confidence--I don't need tired accountants, HR reps, IT workers, etc. who are being forced to skip dinner with...

    Question for the seasoned one-up road warriors. Sway Bars

    I saw a lot of people like the sway bar upgrade because they don't like how the trike sways on the freeway--my point was that the sway on a Can Am when passing a semi is pretty minor compared to a motorcycle. Of course the physics of a Spyder/Ryker is different than a motorcycle. On my Can-Am, I...

    Question for the seasoned one-up road warriors. Sway Bars

    I guess I'm another contrarian. I think it depends on where you're coming from--I rode motorcycles, so the wind buffeting and little bits of sideways motion on 3 wheels is nothing in comparison to 2. If you want your Spyder to feel more like a car, then I guess the sway bar and tires would help...

    What Oil change schedule is right?

    I have seen this on the website, but it's odd that it's not in the owners or shop manuals. Those say 6,000 (Ryker) or 3,000 (Spyder) miles or 1 year.

    What Oil change schedule is right?

    Bean counters have nothing to do with when the recommended oil changes are--people give accountants way too much credit. Can-Am made their profit when the bike was sold--no one who can afford these toys said "nope, that first oil change at 600 miles is too rich for my blood--I won't be buying...

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

    Rykers are made in Mexico and they'be been getting delivered pretty regularly it seems (Mountain Motorsports in Marietta, GA had an entire row of them back in February). It seems no one knows when the Spyders out of Quebec will start to deliver!

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

    Little Blue, Have you heard of where they're being delivered? I've talked with a couple people in Georgia, and we've all been told that it's now May (different dealers).

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

    I got tired of seeing Can-Am posting ads on Facebook, so I messaged them yesterday and asked if instead of posting more ads if they could provide us information on what's happening with the 2022s that were preordered. Still waiting to hear back...

    BRP as an investment…

    I think they've shown Spyders and Rykers have a cult following. And the new electric motorcycle looks interesting (although no real information other than it exists was shared). As an investor, I'd be more worried about BRPs inability to deliver 2022 models (hurts both customers and dealers)...

    2022 Ryker with an oil leak - incompatible parts!

    I thought the first recommended oil change was at 3000 miles (at least it was on my 2019). That stinks about getting the wrong fitting parts, though.
