• 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.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Installed chrome ‘boomerang’ and Xpel PPF that I purchased from Pete at wrapmyspyder.com. With my bike being gloss black paint, it was prone to showing scratches. I did the top case, and all areas around the ignition/service panels. Next order will be for frunk and perhaps saddlebags.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Ordered Xpel film from wrapmyspyder.com on Friday, and I should have it by Tuesday. Amazingly quick shipping time across the country from the US to Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.

    Can this plastic piece be removed to wrap?

    My newly acquired 22 F3L is gloss black. I am likely going to use clear film from Pete at wrapmyspyder.com for many of the horizonal surfaces that are most subject to being scratches, such as the top case, service panels and adjacent areas. I think clear film is easier to apply than sticky...

    Making custom Linq gear - any ideas &/or specs, diagrams, etc to help?

    I won a Linq backpack, but my 2019 F3 base model was not equipped for Linq. I purchased a rear rack, and bought the Linq rack attachments, and a steel flat bar, where I mounted the Linq attachments, and mounted the bar to my rear rack. I could now carry my backpack or any other Linq accessory...

    Ever driven your Spyder onto a ferry?

    I live on Vancouver Island, BC Canada. To get to mainland North America, must take a ferry. Never an issue with the ramp. Two wheel bikes are supplied with a wedge to prevent bike from tipping; only need to apply park brake with my Spyder.

    What are your Phone Holder Preferences? Brand/style & placement?

    I too, use Tackform. Use one also on my bicycle. As Wolfeman stated. ‘ great mount and great customer service’. I agree.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Received my brackets yesterday from CanAm Spyder Accessories to adapt my Ultimate floorboards to my newly acquired F3-L. Easy install, and works better for me than the OEM footboards.

    Is a BEST extended warranty a good idea? What's the process on selling your BEST warrantied Spyder?

    I had the BEST warranty on my 2019 F3, and used it once for the fuel pump replacement - $50 deductible. It runs with the VIN, so got value when I traded it, and got a year of BEST warranty when I purchased my new 2022 F3-L a few weeks ago. Rick

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Concluded the install of my electrical equipment (today, a dual usb with integrated volt meter, connected directly to battery). I have had quite a challenge re-installing front screw for the side panels on my F3-L, so sawed off the head of a longer bolt, to act as a guide when re-installing the...

    What courier/shipping service to get Slingmods gear to Canada?

    One example, I have priced a Madstad windshield for my F3-L. Madstad had a 15% discount, but shipping to me was $114 Cdn. The same windshield at canamspyderaccessories, shipped, was cheaper, plus shipped from Canada, with no potential add-on fees being shipped from Madstad in Florida. I do...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Installed Garmin Zumo GPS on my recent acquisition (‘22 F3-L), backrest, hookup for battery tender and heated gear, phone mount and made electrical connection at customer accessory in front of gas tank. Looks like I need some adapters or parts to install my Ultimate floorboard in place of the...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Brought bike home today from dealer. I had removed a number of accessories from my older F3, and certainly missed the backrest and seat cushion - these will be first to be installed 😏

    New Coolant will not circulate after refill, completing successful flush and change - anyone else? Any ideas on what might be causing it?

    I did a demo ride on the 2022 F3-L that I just purchased. Returning from the ride ‘high coolant temp’ came up on the screen. The fans started and a warning symbol (within the temp range on the gauge). The dealer thought it may be airlocked, and no longer a warning symbol. They are going to...

    Made a deal, swapped my 2019 Base F3 for a New ride - 2022 F3-L!

    I bought my base model 2019 F3 as a leftover in 2021. I enjoyed the bike, and added accessories to allow some touring, plus comfort conveniences. On Friday, made a deal on a 2022 F3L, again as a leftover. Spent yesterday removing GPS, ultimate floorboards, backrest etc. from my F3 base, in...

    Is It OK to Make 500 km On the First Day With a Brand-New 2023 Can-Am RT Limited?

    A nice ride may be up Main St to either Lockport or Selkirk, and return to city via Henderson Hwy or Hwy 59, provided you follow BRP recommendations.

    Is there a Third Brake Light I can install on F3T Luggage Rack?

    I added a led combo running/brake/signal light to the rack on my F3. I bought it from Admore lighting. Pleased with it. Sequential signals flash amber, otherwise solid red.

    What do you think of the 'New for 2025 - Spyder Canyon'?

    Anyone purchased BEST Extended Warranty in Canada?

    Considerable savings over what I was quoted, and this was a dealer I hoped to buy a new Spyder from at a future date. Thanks

    Anyone purchased BEST Extended Warranty in Canada?

    When I bought my new 2019 F3 in June 2021, BRP had a promo, which included 2 extra years of the BEST warranty. Due to the high cost of repairs, I am considering extending my warranty by one year, which is the maximum permitted by BRP. I was surprised by the cost: 1 year BEST. $1971 plus tax 2...
