• 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.

    2024 RT L back at the dealer for the 9th time in 3 months!! How long until you give up?

    Google agrees that Canada doesn't have a "lemon law" like some US states, but they do have: Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan https://www.camvap.ca/

    I got another New Helmet!

    So let's talk baseball! My first motorcycle was a red Yamaha Seca 550. I got a great price on it because the owner of the Yamaha shop was one of our "friend group" and the Seca was actually a couple of years old and still in it's original shipping crate. He also sold me a helmet, but I have no...

    Any suggestions on Adding bluetooth to a 2012 RT? Is the SM10 the only way?

    There are phone apps for radio, like iHeartRadio. Bluetooth pair your SMH10 to your phone and then run the iHearRadio app. I don't know wether the Carpuride supports radio.

    About to pull the trigger on a 2023 or 2025 Spyder RT Dark - what am I really paying for? Any other major considerations on differences?

    I bought my 2024 Spyder RT in April 2024, before Can-Am figured out how to get Apple CarPlay to work correctly. So I bought and used a Garmin Zumo XT motorcycle GPS (which works fine). Even after the software update that added Apple CarPlay, there were still problems, including one long ride I...

    My first impressions of the 2023 Spyder RTL

    I'd also recommend checking the tire pressure in both front tires. They should be with in 1 psi of each other.

    Think of changing from a Freewheeler - is the Spyder any easier &/or safer?

    Even those Spyder parts that are impossible to find? ;)

    Think of changing from a Freewheeler - is the Spyder any easier &/or safer?

    Maybe you should print out a Harley Davidson logo, tape it to the frunk lid of a Spyder, and offer to let him take it for a ride around the parking lot... or around the block.

    Where can I buy a 2008 GS backrest?

    I checked some of the websites I'm familiar with for Spyder parts and did not find a backrest for a 2008. I did find a custom seat, however, which includes backrest options. https://www.slingmods.com/can-am-spyder-gs-rs-ultimate-custom-seats

    Has anyone installed a Shad case on a 2021 RT & still had room for OEM Backrest?

    The Shad Canada website has a "Contact Us" link. They'd know better than anyone. https://www.shad-canada.com/

    Anyone tried Rotating their front directional tires? Worth it?

    As in dismount the tires from the wheels, and then mount each tire on the opposite side, making sure they're still rotating the correct direction?

    Speedometer accuracy - when I set my Cruise to a certain speed, the speedo doesn't match - any others??

    I noticed something similar on my Honda Ridgeline recently. The Cruise Control setting showed 55 mph, but the speedometer was showing 56 mph.

    BRP Connect Ver 4.1 is now available

    I did the BRP Connect 4.1 update on July 7th. Yesterday, July 15th, I took my Spyder for a ride. It was a bit over 100 miles (160 km) and a little over 3 hours. Most of it was two lane country roads, so 30-35 mph, although there was one section coming and going that was a state highway at 55...

    Clock Setting screen no longer works, any help appreciated!?

    No, as I did confirm it had the right time zone.

    Clock Setting screen no longer works, any help appreciated!?

    Mine does, but only when my truck isn't between my Spyder and the WiFi access point. Because at around 7am this morning it was off by an hour, with multiple failed attempts to correct the time on the Spyder. And then shortly after Noon today the time was correct.

    Buy the two wheeler and pass the RTL on to her?

    Clock Setting screen no longer works, any help appreciated!?

    No. If I go into the WiFi settings and tell it to connect to the network then it asks for the password. My Spyder does not automatically connect to the network.
