• 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.

    Annoyingly, my '21 RTL will only cancel Cruise by touching the brake pedal or downshifting - are there any other ways?

    My right thumb is used to make my Spyder CC adaptive CC like my F150. Of course my Spyder's radar is my eyes, its computer my brain. I run CC a lot, except in the twisties.

    2025 Improved Sea to Sky Tires, how are they?

    BRP could say "For us to make more money, only install Kenda tires, AGAIN AND AGAIN!" I wonder what percentage of us remove and re-install the rear wheel for tire replacement yourselves? I have to do my in-law's rear tire next month when my eyes are over with the cataract surgery recovery. We...

    USER NAMES/HANDLES - What does yours mean? Where did it come from?

    Snoking1127, because there's no room on the license plate for the "w". I found good snow for the group to snowmobile. There was an old inactive member here with that name so I added the 1127. The other Snoking made 10 posts back in 2017, he was from NC, and I wonder how he came up with Snoking?

    Buying our first Spyder in the Spring - what should I be looking for?

    Personally, I do NOT like the brake pedal position on the 2020+ RT's. I have two 2018 RTL's and like the full digital dash better than the earlier models. This week I will be replacing the fuel and temp gauge on in-laws 2014 RT with a volt meter on one side and dual USB outlets on the other...

    Any thoughts about running Car Tires On The Rear?

    215/60R15 Altimax works fine and corrects the speedo a bit. I was off 2 mph at 65 and is now off 1 mph.

    Random thought for the day

    Loran bombs were not as accurate as the missiles flown through windows via GPS in the Middle East. However it's repeatably in taking recon photos along the Ho chi Minh trail was really good for the day.

    Pictures of crew. Electronic tech and chief ET, XO, and CO in top picture. I was on Loran Watch at the time and my lid was back in the barracks. Guy on my right and I are the only two remaining alive in the top photo.

    Random thought for the day

    The USCG Loran C station was 4 miles off the end of the Utapao AB and 4 miles to the side. The B52s rattled our buildings every morning once they got operational. Picture is from top of the 625' Loran Tower look over at UP, taken in September 1966. Sattahip area was just getting started with the...

    Random thought for the day

    Spent a year in Thailand in 1966-67, in the US Coast Guard, building and operating a Loran C navigation station. The cook's Thai helper was just "Sam". Great guy and our morale booster.

    Broken top box arm and tight seat spacers on a 2016 RT Limited - any ideas/assist?

    I believe the arms are part of the inner cover, part number 708300678. $89.99 https://www.canampartshouse.com/oemparts/a/cam/659814c3d03f8a538e4be585/luggages-package-standard A better image. https://www.canampartshouse.com/oemparts/a/cam/500b5a52f8700228ecf59cca/luggages-rear The outer...

    Spyder Not Starting, but starter works when terminals jumped - Where do I go from here?

    One could leave the key in a Spyder and go for an extended dinner out, and 99.99% of people walking by it could not start it and drive it away! Park nose in and it would go to 99.999%.

    Forever mystified by Can Am's lack of style...

    What I do not understand is the difficult to maintain mat finish on some of the colors. Is it just cheaper to manufacture? And I also do not like dark models, that is why I have been adding chrome pieces and wheels to my first 2018 Asphalt Grey one. The newest one is a chrome model. Cars and...

    After some True Can-Am insight - will I be making a huge mistake buying the RTL or F3?

    That does not look like the normal cover for the Zumo XT/XT2???

    Yes it’s the age old tire question… What's currently the best replacement?

    As I said in another thread, I loaned my spyder to my riding buddies 60 year old daughter who is in town for a week. I had cataract surgery on my right eye yesterday and would not be able to ride anyway. Well, she says she is not giving it back!!! When home in Colorado she rides his blue 2018...

    Interesting conversation at the gas pump - asked why I chose to ride a Spyder rather than 'a real motorcycle'?!

    We named our first 2018 "The Hook", as people always came up and ask about it. All three will carry on with the Hook on the front.

    Is it plug-n-play to fit US Spec headlights to my UK Spec Spyder? Or are there mods needed?

    Hey, my riding buddies daughter is here for a week and I have eye surgery so she is going to be riding it. I forgot to tell her that freeway on ramps it blast though the gears at full throttle!

    Like the steering would be on the wrong side. 🤓
