• 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 to watch for if buying a 2011 RT

    Hello everyone. I’m considering purchasing a 2011 base Spyder RT with the SM5 (manual) transmission. The spyder is at our local and reputable Can Am dealer and is being sold with a safety. Bike has 51,000 kms (32,000 miles) I previously have had a 2012 RT-S with the SE5 and had to replace the...

    Interesting article regarding Can-Am

    A very interesting article for sure. Now if they would only expand their dealer network. In my opinion that seems to be their achilles heel.

    Question regarding SM5 transmission

    Thanks to everyone for their responses. And thanks to Peter, I now understand the workings of the Spyder clutches more than many many people out there :) . I’m passing all of this valuable information on to my friend.

    Question regarding SM5 transmission

    So if I understand this correctly, only the SE5 has the centrifugal clutch?? That certainly will make the SM5 more manageable to ride in my opinion.

    Question regarding SM5 transmission

    I kind of figured it would stay engaged. This is a manual transmission so it won’t automatically downshift

    Question regarding SM5 transmission

    I’ve searched but can’t really find what I’m looking for. A friend just picked up his 1st Spyder yesterday after 50 years on 2 wheels. It’s a 2013 ST-S SM5 I know about keeping up the revs while upshifting and that doesn’t seem to be as issue with his bike (I did the test ride on it). Here’s the...

    Clutch slippage???

    My 2012 RT with the SE5 showed the exact same symptoms and yours. I phoned the dealer and spoke with the technician and he said it could be a couple of different things. Being convinced that it was the clutch slipping I rode it to the dealer the next day for the tech to ride it. Within 200 yards...

    Belt Vibration.......gone

    Good for you for sticking with it and getting it resolved to your satisfaction. Maybe there is hope for others with other issues that BRP will back the product and correct some short comings.

    Good luck with your purchase. I'm sure your wife is very excited. As someone who had a 2011 Spyder RTS and now has a 2014 RT I just want to share a few things with you in an effort to help you. 1. You'll find a thread of "do's and dont's" on this forum. Make sure you both read them, they're...

    How to view the clock??

    :agree: Since you still have warranty, you should have the dealer check it out. For all you doubters out there...........I actually have a 2014 that doesn't gain 7 minutes every week. My 2011 did.

    Anti-sway benefits

    I'll be watching this closely. I have a 2014 RT and is stock form it's a whole lot better than my 2011 was. I added the Baja Ron sway bar to the 2011 and it cornered like it was on rails. My 2014 doesn't stay as flat as the 2011 with the added sway bar so I'm curious to hear what everyone has to...

    Zumo 660 can't be trusted in my opinion

    At least it's good to know that others also have had some issues with their Zumo. I'll stick to my iphone with the co-pilot app.

    Hot Right Foot! Muffler/exhaust heat unbearable!

    2013 heat recall kit will work on 2012 RT When I had my 2011 it was hot hot hot on the right foot and the crotch. I had the dealer put on the kit with the air scoops and removal of acoustic material under the side panels that was a recall on the 2013's. Big difference. It literally stopped the...

    Zumo 660 can't be trusted in my opinion

    I'm Surprised :) I'm Surprised that it took so long to comment on the handle of "Wrongway" when I'm talking about GPS routing. :clap: Believe me, I've earned the handle.:firstplace:

    Radio doesn't always go off until lights go off - is this normal?

    Interesting question and I'll watch for responses because my 2014 usually turns off right away when I turn the key off but at times the radio will keep playing until the lights go out.
