• 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.

    Lamonts right side heat fix

    Radiator Block for RT. Just installed mine this morning. The "3rd bolt" was a problem, but I did not want to destroy the tray. The 3rd bolt is much longer than the other 2 and needs to be held with a wrench while it is loosened. It appears to have a lock type nut so it does take some time to...

    Does the RT-s Have heat issues?

    Heat Issues I DO have heat issues on my 2011 RT Limited. Never had heat issues on my BMW LT or at least nothing to the degree that is on my Spyder LT. I ride with proper attire, but in my part of Virginia, when heat index is over 100 degrees, which it has been on and off for the past several...

    Anyone tried Ride-On?

    Ride-on Make sure you get the AUTO version. Even though the Ride-On web site indicates it is NOT for motorcycles. Because the Spyder has what they consider a square tire vs. rounded tire on a regular 2 wheeler. Spoke with Ride-On customer service to confirm. As Lamonster indicates in a earlier...

    gas mileage

    Gas Mileage A big factor in your mileage is how quick you shift up/down. If you drive it to get max mileage you would shift in the 3000-4500 range, which is when the computer allows it to up shift. I got 32 and 34 mpg on my first two tanks while is was "babying" the machine. I have read...

    It looks like the side markers on the green have lights. Is that the case or is that just from a flash of the camera?

    2012 Can-Am Spyder Roadster info and pics !

    New 2012 Well, I am glad there are not many changes since I just bought mine a few weeks ago. Surprised they did not do too many updates other than the display and adding heat shield to exhaust and color addition.

    Right side heat

    Heat again. Those that have the heat shield listed above, did you do any other changes like the exhaust tape or the cat. cover or was it just the former? Did you remove the cover that Lamonster recommended or did you just install the one shield? Is BRP doing anything to correct this?

    TOO MUCH HEAT - not again!

    I know this has been beaten to death based on doing searches on the forum. However, I am still confused as to the best solution. Several posters have different years and models of the Spyder and I am getting confused as to which is the BEST solution for my 2011 RT Limited. Several previous...

    Clown Horn

    Air Horn What place did you purchase the air horn? Any special wiring/installation needed other than a bracket? Is the horn location easy to get to? Thanks

    Clown Horn

    Is it me or does the RT horn sound like a clown horn. When I got my new 2011 RT Limited, I was expecting a beefy horn so in an emergency someone will hear the sound. My BMW LT had a horn as loud and beefy as a car horn. Now I doubt anyone can hear it or will ignore the sound, laughing at the...

    Trickle Charge question

    I had a BMW 1200 LT with a BMW trickle charger. With that set-up I could plug the charger into any of the 12V outlets that were on the bike to charge the battery. On my 2011 RT Limited, can I do that same using the 12V socket in the rear trunk? or is that going to be a problem with the...

    Pricing Question

    Did leave on a good note, telling the salesperson I totally understood, that I had no problem with their decision but I was not willing to go over my amount. It was their last Limited.

    Pricing Question

    Price Question Follow-up Well, after reading what others had posted here and other forums, today I decided to "pull the trigger" and go purchase a 2011 Limited. Went in with high hopes, left disappointed. First, I do understand dealerships need to pay their overhead and make a profit. That...
