• 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.

    Short reach bars on 2020+ RT

    An update to my post about installing F3 short reach bars on my 2020RTL. After a few weeks and also installing the factory backrest all is perfect for me. Yes it does move the bars pretty close and perhaps just a little high but it is SOOOOO much better I will never look back. Actually if I...

    5.6 quarts of oil

    I see and agree with your point. However my point is it doesn't say either/ or. I agree with you BRP blew the write up. One can assume that they meant this but then you know what they say about assume

    5.6 quarts of oil

    I beg to different with you please. It doesn't say OR it says steps 1-2-3-4. It doesn't say EITHER either ! I mean I can't believe I got my dog is this checking the oil level thread but what I read is pretty straight forth. It is 1234 ............... I think the entire procedure is a circle jerk...

    Panel removal on a 2020 RT Ltd.

    Yes, Shawn Smoaks (TheSmoaksVlogs) on Youtube has one dated back in Feb I believe. He is a mechanic in a multi brand motorcycle shop in the state of Washington. Here you go the hyper link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI_dQry8SqQ&t=246s

    I've been robbed!

    Be glad that is all that was taken or damaged. I have a ridding friend who had his seat slit on his Burgman in the parking lot where he lives.

    2020 RT 2" Risers

    Yes I did find them however instead I ordered and have them on now a F3 short reach bar. Along with the factory backrest I feel this will do the trick. Thanks for the reply and good luck with yours

    I Hate To Be Negitive B-U-T

    Thank you for posting here. I encourage you and other folks to post things like this hopefully it will make a differences. I don't wish to be an rebel but I do think we as a group of owners need to post these short comings. I work part time in a Can Am dealership along with the big 4 from Japan...

    I Hate To Be Negitive B-U-T

    Every time I do something to my new 2020RTL it seems to me the Spyder lacks the quality I have gotten used to with Jap bikes. Yesterday I removed the rear seat to install the factory backrest and what I found was weird looking wiring harness. And to add to that the darn wires were just not...

    Short reach bars on 2020+ RT

    If these short reach bars don't work out for me I think my next move will be to get a set of Rox Riser or Lamonster new set backs and reinstall the original bars. Actually for me working at a dealership part time I get my Can Am parts reasonable com paired to retail so it doesn't hurt as bad

    Short reach bars on 2020+ RT

    I am not Stebrock but since he hasn't responded I will tell you there is a pin attached to the bars. It does what the name says and can be sawed off easy. But I want to warn you, you might want to reconsider doing this. If you go any higher after cutting the pin off you will find your controls...

    Oil level check results confusing to me

    Makes more sense than the owners manual Mike and I want to take you for this reply. I appreciate this common sense procedure coming from a Honda Gold Wing I know nothing about the Spyder but understand loud and clear what you are saying and the point is well taken

    Oil level check results confusing to me

    I am a new RT owner here and today after riding my 2020 with 800mi I did as the book said. I rode it for 9 mi or more then pulled it into my level garage floor and let it idle for 10 mins. (I really don't GET THIS STEP) While idle the fans came on/off several times. I then shut it off and...

    Pain Between the Shoulders

    No Doubt what you are saying and mine was done (laser aligned) at 500 mi. I watched our mechanic do it and the left wheel was perfect and the right was within spec. He did change the right one but this is a completely different topic than fitting handlebars. Again I am completely on board with...

    Pain Between the Shoulders

    My F3 Short reach bar came in today at my dealership. About an hour of labor and after skinned the back of my hand they were installed. Oh I forgot to mention a 12 oz Miller Light also . The hardest part of the job was getting enough cable pulled out to accommodate the longer bars this is when...

    2020 RTL My thoughts after 700 mi

    I totally understand where you are coming from. For sure anyone who has ridden a Wing has been spoiled. The Spyder and the Wing are just two different animals. IMHO it is easier to come from a twin touring bike than a Wing. I am pretty sure with the addition of different bars and a backrest I...

    2020 RTL My thoughts after 700 mi

    Yes you are my blue print to ordering these bars Stebrock. Thank you so much for posting what you have done I am sure with your advice and following what you have done it will be much easier for me. Hopefully they won't be too close if so I guess I will go to maybe the other bars offered. I will...
