• 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.

    About to Pull the Trigger.......

    What is the status of the warranty? Normally they come new with a 2 year BEST warranty but you can extend that up to 5 years total but you need to purchase it before the standard warranty expires. Also, some of the F3's have had an issue with the front sprocket (on the gearbox) grenading; be...

    How do I connect my phone to my 2014 Can am Spyder ST Limited?

    Looks like you got your ST used. There's a round, 5 pin connector in the frunk. New, the bike came with two cables: one that connects that 5 pin plug to an old-style 30 pin iPhone connector and one that connects that 5 pin plug to a standard mini-audio plug (for Android phones and other...

    Jumped started my Spyder GS and caught something on fire!

    If it's the pull out tab I think it is it's for releasing the optional rear bag mounting plate. Since it looks like you bought a used Spyder, if you haven't already you really should download the manual...

    Spyderquest 2020

    Hi folks, Just wanted to drop a quick note for the folks that aren't on Facebook. We on the committee met virtually this past weekend and made the hard decision to cancel Spyderquest for 2020. Too many logistics of trying to manage a crowd of 350 people in close quarters with the uncertainty...

    Spyder group riding etiquette

    When I took the MSF 3-wheel course they said trikes in general shouldn't stagger. That said, when I'm in a group of mixed 2 and 3 wheels, I usually stagger. When in a group of all Spyders, I'll stagger if the group is staggering, otherwise no.

    Stripped yet ANOTHER bolt!!!

    Don't be too hard on yourself Monk. First time I went to check the oil level on my then new bike, I cross-threaded the dipstick putting it back in. :opps:

    Do you take turns driving your Spyder with your husband, wife or significant other ??

    My wife and I will occasionally trade when she wants to push my ST through the twisties. Now that my step-daughter has her license and once I can pick up my new F3, she'll ride the ST. Then we'll be a 3 Spyder family :)

    After a Reputable mechanic in/near NJ?

    http://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/OperatorsGuidesAttachments/OwnersManuals_SSA/attach/06/2018/618983EN.pdf is the 2018 F3 owners manual. BRP makes them all available for download. Netzley Tire in Accord NY is a good place for non-warranty Spyder work. Arctic Adventure in Rosendale NY and...

    This is not about whether to buy Chinese products.....

    You don't necessarily need a piece of paper to be smart.

    What A/mkt Muffler - loud, but not too loud?

    Looking at the BRP 2020 catalog, the Akropovic sport touring silencer (219400659) is indicated for all RT's 2015 and up. So I would guess that if an aftermarket muffler fits the 2019 RT, it will probably fit the 2020 RT as well. Phone or email is probably your best friend on that.

    Installing center and rear front fender lights

    One thing to add to the instructions Haze posted. Once you take the top piece off the fenders you'll see there's very little slack in the existing wires to the front fender light and there's very little room to include the wire taps that Tricled provides. Also the taps don't provide a good...

    MotoBatt 12V AGM Battery Upgrade for the Can-Am Spyder?

    I purchased the MotoBatt from Lamont before last season. Has been fine so far.

    General Spyder info needed...

    It's also worth considering "new", never sold 2019's and 2018's (there's still some out there.) BRP is offering big rebates to help clear out inventory now that the 2020's are hitting the dealers in quantity.

    2020 Spyder RT - NHTSA Official Recall Notice and BRP Warranty Bulletin

    Interesting read through the ancillary documents. TL;DR: It covers about 1400 bikes manufactured between September 2019 and February 2020. The defective part may have "shrinking cavities" and was manufactured by a company in Vietnam. BRP found it when 4 of the support brackets broke on the...

    Looking to purchase 2018 F3 Limited Chrome vs 2019 F3 Limited Chrome

    If you think you might want to change out the reflectors on the fenders for lights (there are several vendors that offer them) then the 18 is a better bet. The vendors I'm aware of don't have kits for the 19 yet. Plus on the 19's fender, the rear red reflector is a sticker while on the 18's...

    Just connected with an old friend of the forum Bob Denman

    Miss Bob. Riding out to Spyderfest with him and the rest of the East Coast Posse is still one of the most fun weeks I've spent on my Spyder.
