• 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.

    1) Search engines bring traffic to a website. 2) When a post get's deleted that creates a broken link. 3) When a search engine discovers too many broken links it stops sending traffic to a site. 4) Less traffic, less sponsors are not willing to support website with less traffic, less financial...

    Deleting a post or reply

    Another reason to not be able to delete posts so freely is that it's unfair to those that invest the time and add value via a reply to the post. Nothing bothers me more than spending 15 minutes replying to a post only to have the thread or the post itself get deleted.

    BEST warranty

    I printed the email and put copies in my truck and my Spyder. I also took a photo for my camera and put the customer service numbers in my phone. I'm assuming that any Can-Am dealer has access to the information so really the most important thing you need is the phone number in case you're...

    January Weather Forecast

    For the second year in a row, it looks like I won't be able to ride in January. I got a couple rides in December and perhaps the South Dakota weather will cooperate and give me and let me do a ride in February. I'm still trying to avoid winterizing the Spyder (beyond plugging in a battery...

    Any 2020 rt limiteds out there?

    I received some mail from Can-Am "inviting" me to pre-order the 2020 RT. Can't wait to see them on the dealer's floor. Buying one is very tempting but I'm happy with my 2017 RT Limited. I really think the 2020 RT is going to be the best of both worlds for those that can't decide between the...

    Here's the new 2020 RT

    Someone else can correct me if I'm wrong, but the first time I saw HHC being advertised for the Spyder was in 2018 for the F3 and in 2019 for both the RT/F3. In 2018, I purchased a new last-year's model 2017 and remember seeing the spec differences where the HHC was being advertised for 2018...

    Here's the new 2020 RT

    BRP has updated their 2020 RT page: https://can-am.brp.com/on-road/models-2020/spyder-rt.html

    Here's the new 2020 RT

    It sounds like accessory add-ons will be more modular and similar to how you accessories are added to the Ryker. More DIY for those non-mechanics like me! I'd buy one! One question, does the wheel base look wider than the previous RTs?

    Parking

    Legally, the Spyder is defined as a motorcycle in my state (South Dakota) so it would be completely legal to park in a "motorcycle only" zone similar to any trike. I'll park in a motorcycle space where it makes sense. However, when I ride with a group and the motorcycle space is limited I...

    After owning one, are you guys still hype with it, compared to before you owned it?

    I don't have as much experience with a Spyder as others (only 5000 miles in the past year), but I've come to the conclusion that I'm completely obsessed about this Spyder and three wheelers in general. There hasn't been a single ride that I didn't learn something about this machine as well as...

    Anyone else got a Pool of Water in the Frunk? Any fixes?

    Update. Three Spyder washes, one huge storm while parked, and one huge storm driving... and a dry frunk. Looks like the culprit was a loose battery cover. Thanks to all those that made the suggestions.

    80 MPH Sustained

    Both my wife and I rode the Spyder at 80 MPH across Interstate 90 in South Dakota this past week. No problems, so I wanted to thank everyone for boosting my confidence that the Spyder could handle it. To be honest, I rode 75 to 80 MPH while the wife put it in the 80 to 85 MPH range. :riding:

    Avoid the 2019 Spyder RT?

    Yep, I'm a big fan and dedicated watcher of Shawn Smoak's videos. My impression is that much of Shawn's objection to LED lights has to do with the "dubious quality" you mention as well as dubious workmanship for how those lights are connected (such as splicing into the wires). It's the cheap...

    Domio Pro+

    They had a delay in production as they re-engineered the helmet mounts for the Domio Pro+. :( I'm not scheduled to receive mine until mid-August. The delay is disappointing (especially since much of the riding season will be winding down), but I knew what I was getting myself into with a "crowd...

    Avoid the 2019 Spyder RT?

    Apology accepted and think nothing more of it. I understand your initial reaction. We all have seen plenty of posts with hidden agendas and investing time in a reply to only realize we've been trolled. I knew when I posted that I may have to follow up with an assurance that my interest in an...

    Avoid the 2019 Spyder RT?

    Thanks, this is the information I was looking for. If we do purchase a 2019, this could actually be a good excuse for me to be primary on the new Spyder and let my LED and accessory loving wife to be the primary rider on our 2017. Just don't tell my wife there is a workaround for the 2019. My...

    Avoid the 2019 Spyder RT?

    I'm not warning anybody about buying a 2019 nor trolling here. Somewhere down the road, I'll be looking to add a second Spyder to the family and want to know if there is an issue with the 2019 that I'm not aware of. I'm just trying to understand why the vendor may have disliked the 2019 model...

    Avoid the 2019 Spyder RT?

    My wife and I just got back from the 3-Wheeler Rally in Deadwood (it was our first and it was awesome). Anyway, my wife was talking to one of the vendors that advised we stay away from the 2019 but she didn't ask why and in what context. I haven't really heard of any real issues with the 2019...

    Anyone else got a Pool of Water in the Frunk? Any fixes?

    No mods on the RT. It was purchased new by me. I'm going to take a look at the battery cover and fuse covers as Mike suggests. Perhaps when I hosed under the Spyder, that's how the water seeped in?

    Anyone else got a Pool of Water in the Frunk? Any fixes?

    This could be the issue. The last time I washed the RT I avoided the frunk lid as much as possible but still found water in the frunk. When I was drying things out, I thought about checking the battery cover as it looked loose (but I didn't check it further) I wonder when I took my Spyder in for...
