• 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.

    Is it possible to Remove the tail trunk & passenger back rest from 2023 RTL?

    On my 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky I have a similar problem, which I have found a solution that might work for you. My Spyder has Passenger footrests that fold up against the body when you're not using them. I have them folded down, and step up onto one to get me high enough that I can throw my leg...

    Is it possible to Remove the tail trunk & passenger back rest from 2023 RTL?

    When my 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky was delivered, I received a flat box that had the driver's backrest and mounting hardware, AND a replacement cover for the top storage compartment area. When you take the top storage compartment off, it's going to leave some of the mounting hardware exposed. In my...

    Is BRP the only place to buy Tri-axis handlebars? And advice &/or installation tips welcome!

    Google found several places that have them listed for sale. As for the installation, the CAN-AM website for the bars has a link to the Adobe Acrobat PDF file for the installation instructions.

    Random thought for the day

    There was a US TV Series named "The Expanse" on the SyFy (science fiction) channel. It was about three groups of political power in the solar system: Earth, Mars, and the Outer Planets (and asteroid belt). The main setting of the series is a Martian gunship named Rocinante.

    Apple CarPlay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    I've seen that information, and did clean it and now have it covered with a tethered cap on the USB port when it doesn't have a cable plugged into the port. I created my own cable using a cap for a USB port attached to a cell phone wrist strap.

    Apple CarPlay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    Actually, it doesn't need cell service, if you plan ahead. You can tell Apple Maps to download the maps for offline use. Google Maps on the iPhone has the same option. And downloading the maps isn't any different than what I do with my Garmin Zumo XT GPS. I regularly connect it to my computer...

    Has anyone tried this lift from Harbor Freight?

    If you've already assembled it, then spread it as wide as possible, drive your Spyder up to it, and see if it fits. If it's still in the box, then I'd return it and get a pair of these instead: https://www.harborfreight.com/4000-lb-capacity-solid-steel-auto-ramp-set-63250.html

    Apple CarPlay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    So I just got back from a visit to my dealer, and it was even uglier than you could possibly imagine! :mad: So when I left home this morning I could not get CarPlay to work. I drove a couple of miles South to the nearest gas station and filled up my tank. When I started the Spyder after...

    Help - Looking for someone in East Tn to work on 2010 RT with Fault Codes & Limp Mode

    2025 Spyder RT: Any Cautions to note before purchase?

    I tested my 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky. If you open the top case part way and release it, then it does close. If you open the top case all of the way, then it stays open.

    Apple CarPlay was introduced with the 2024 Spyder along with the 10.25" display. For the 2023 and earlier bikes, with the 7.8" display, you would use the BRP GO! app on your phone, which uses BRP Connect technology on the Spyder for communication...

    Is there a 'Full Tank' Triangle? If so, where? '22 RT

    A triangle appears on the display? Not on my 2024 Spyder. The fuel "gauge" on the display is the image of a gasoline pump, with a series of vertical bars that run left (empty) to right (full).
