• 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.

    How does Can-Am Test New Spyders? Should I be concerned?

    I highly, highly doubt they run a brand new motorcycle to that speed. I think it just might be a remaining artifact from performing a full sweep of the instrument cluster in its initialization process. Perform a reset and don’t worry about it. Many new owners probably reset their initial...

    Review: Check out this Slick RT/F3 Trunk Light

    Both my 2021 and 2022 RT Limited’s have LED trunk lamps installed at the factory. They only operate with the trunk lid open and the ignition key ON which for me is a problem as well as the low light output it provides. I picked up a 3 pack of battery operated similar style puck lights at a local...

    Why doesn't BRP design a stronger Anti-roll bar?

    The Spyder is Canadian. Their highway speeds are much lower there than the USA. I found it absolutely miserable driving in Canada. Maybe that is why? ��

    Can Am paint shows marks - any advice on removing them?

    I was at a local Costco recently and came across a new item there from Turtlewax called Mist. It was a three pack of various car care products for about $10. The included Mist minute wax worked remarkably well on covering those minor swirl marks on the black rear deck lid. The rest of the bike...

    Solved our Stuck Fan Relay Issue!

    It would be more helpful to have a picture of the actual relay, its dimensions, it’s location and terminal view than just a part number.

    My 2020 RT-L is throwing a VSS Code on starting - could this be a weak Battery?

    My 2022 RTL developed this problem. I made an appointment and the Service Manager said that after inspection the technician could find nothing wrong, and that the battery tested good. I gave him some information about battery diagnosis and computers on vehicles that basic tests would not show a...

    Saddlebag Release Handle has snapped off! Anyone got part #'s or names? Help to open?

    I replaced my own on my 2021. The 2 cables cost me around $130 if I recall right. My cables rusted through and snapped on a Saturday evening. On Monday morning I learned my warranty had expired on Sunday. They weren’t able to get them covered under the original warranty. The original cables...

    Learning about my RT bit by bit

    Can these manuals be downloaded on a iPad Pro? I’m not a fan of a laptop in a garage environment.

    EV of course.

    Bad Honda Dealer

    The dealer’s parts department computer showed that they had a part in stock on the day you called. It would have been beneficial to put that part on hold for your upcoming appointment. Unfortunately, appointments are frequently delayed by customers or they don’t show up. Having a part on special...

    Can-Am does some things right, others not so much

    When I have to fill up my car with gas I carry along and fill my 5-1/2 gallon gas can to bring home to fully top off the Spyders. It’s a lot less hassle especially when I’m filling two for a long ride.

    My new baby - which gas? 87, E10, or is 91 octane better?

    The last vehicle I purchased new that regular gas was recommended by the manufacturer was in 1998 and I owned that car for only 3 years. Everything else since has been premium fuel. Everything I purchased since was either turbocharged or the Spyders with 12.5:1 compression ratio. When my wife...

    Can anyone help with these 2020+ RT Drivebelt Specs?

    Most of us use the Gates 91132 Krikit II Drive Belt Tension Gauge from the forum sponsor Baja Ron. It’s much less of a hassle, faster and accurate enough. I don’t know of any automotive or motorcycle technician who measures belt tension with electronic equipment. What is your background?

    2021 RT rear hand grips turned brown - any solutions?

    Regular applications of Meguiar’s Back to Black have been beneficial for me. For the amount of money that you spend buying these motorcycles you would think that you would get a higher grade of materials but that’s not the case.

    Chrome or Blacked-out - am I the only one who likes Chrome??

    Personally, I prefer the chrome. From what I gathered chrome plating is not environmentally friendly and many of our favorite things are moving away from that.

    What's the best way to view this forum on an iPhone?

    Click on “New Posts” then scroll down. This forum is very cluttered for me to use in any other way on my iPhone.

    Can't save Radio Channels/find tone adjustment - what am I missing?

    I gave up on the included tuner. I stream free and commercial free radio from my phone. The sound quality is much higher as is the volume.

    What is everybody using for outdoor or trailering Covers?

    Both of my Spyders wear Ultraguard full covers when stored for the winter in my home’s garage. These covers are fantastic. Look for a sale price and buy with confidence. Never leave a covered vehicle out in the wind. Your life will have a lot of regret.

    Best vs Revolos Extended Warranty?

    Revolos offers better coverage of repairs than BEST. BEST is more universally accepted. If you live local to the dealership you purchased from and plan to have your service work performed by them you should be fine. If you travel greater distances for service or pleasure you might be out of...
