• 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.

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

    Please note that I may be offline for awhile, while the doctors treat me for a concussion. I don't have a concussion, yet, but I feel like banging my head against the wall, so... I went out to the garage, turned on my Spyder, navigated to the Wireless settings, and deleted the entries for my...

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

    An interesting idea, but I don't think so. I do have my Spyder configured to connect to my home WiFi network, but there's a couple of problems that come to mind. My house is a ranch style that runs north-to-south. My two car garage is on the north end of the house, and the WiFi access point is...

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

    I'm a big "No" on the syncing once a day idea. The problem with the geolocation idea is that the Spyder would need to first identify where it was, and then compare it to where the phone thought it was. The Spyder doesn't have GPS built into it. And I will be able to test how it handles time...

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

    I've proved it! You should never make an important decision before completing your morning routine! Whether that involves caffeine, morning exercise, letting the dog out, feeding the cat, or whatever it is you do. You need to finish the routine while your brain fully wakes up! Oh. As for the...

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

    It's 6:15 am here, which means I really should still be asleep. Don't judge. I'm retired. ;) But I woke up suddenly with a new idea, and after a short time with Google I'm going to try something. But first, COFFEE!!!

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

    I apologize, as I trusted that the Operators Guide was correct. Shocker: it isn't! The Data & Time on my 2024 Spyder RT looks exactly the same as your screen shot, other than my time is different. I did check, and the time on my Spyder is exactly the same as the time on my iPhone. ========...

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

    I don't have an F3, but I was looking at the F3 Operator's Guide. I just checked the Operator's Guide for my Spyder RT and it has the same information (on a different page number). I'm going to head out to the garage and see if it works on my 2024 Spyder RT.

    I know I saw soybeans and corn, and there might have been wheat. I don't remember seeing cotton so I checked online. Google found some information from the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture. There are a few counties in Western Tennessee that grown cotton, but none in Middle or...

    Pros & Cons on installing either Carpuride or INNOV N1?

    Yes, you can use Sygic with Apple CarPlay. Or more correctly, when your Apple iPhone has Sygic installed, you can create routes in Sygic and have your iPhone display the maps on your CarPlay device using Sygic maps. The default navigation app for Apple CarPlay is Apple Maps, which has some...

    Has anyone used BRP Go on the Canyon?

    I'm attending the Maggie Valley Spyder Adventures in October. Their planned routes have GPX files, which Apple Maps does not support. Apple CarPlay supports other navigation/mapping apps, including Sygic maps, although I've been using Google Maps recently, since it also can import GPX files...

    Byrdstown, TN

    Weather.com has been predicting rain and thunderstorms for the next couple of weeks, but today and possibly tomorrow will be dry. So I geared up and went for a ride to Byrdstown, Tennessee. What's there, you might ask? My friend told me about a little diner there that she had been wanting to...

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

    It's under the Preferences applet in the General settings. Look at the bottom of Page 54 of the 2024 Spyder F3 Series Operator Guide.

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

    I do see that it says the BRP GO! app will show some information about the Spyder, but I don't know if that includes syncing the clock to the phone's time. Maybe do a test for us? Change the clock to the wrong time using the Spyder's display, then launch BRP GO! on your phone and then connect...

    Pros & Cons on installing either Carpuride or INNOV N1?

    I would say that the Carpuride website is a bit deceptive. Several of their products are described as "with GPS navigation" and one even says "with motorcycle GPS navigation". And some of the phrasing of the information suggest they have their own GPS built in, and yes, I did notice that it...

    Riding Gear Poll

    Sounds like you should listen to your own advice, and not tell me what to wear or not wear while I'm out riding, hmmm? Or perhaps it's about teaching the students the correct way to protect themselves while riding.

    Riding Gear Poll

    Interesting. But if you click through to watch the video on Youtube the video description contains two links. One link goes to a backpack airbag and the other link is to a different style of padded clothing. I found a short Youtube video of the backpack airbag being tested.

    Pros & Cons on installing either Carpuride or INNOV N1?

    Before CAN-AM got Apple CarPlay to work correctly on my 2024 Spyder, I bought a Garmin Zumo XT GPS. I went to the Carpuride website and found an article titled "Is a motorcycle GPS worth it?" About 1/2 way down on the page is a section "Best GPS for Motorcycles Reccomendations". The Carpuride...

    Riding Gear Poll

    Do you really not believe that riding gear will provide protection in an accident? And please make sure you have good health insurance, as I'd hate for state and local tax dollars being needed for your care and recovery...or funeral. Here's what the Motorcycle Safety Foundation has for...

    I went with a modular because they better accommodate those of us who wear glasses.
