• 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.

    Wondering about replacing my '21 Spyder with a '26 (or '27) - any thoughts on the newer Spyders being different or better enough to justify the spend?

    So the price of a good Garmin Zumo GPS and a carplay/android auto screen provides redundant navigation and more than one way to send music to helmet intercoms, and cost is just a fraction of the cost of a trike upgrade. And the info one wants can be left up on one of the screens, not needing to...

    Wondering about replacing my '21 Spyder with a '26 (or '27) - any thoughts on the newer Spyders being different or better enough to justify the spend?

    I would like the new way to shift into reverse gear and cancel cruise control on the newer models. However, I would not get a Satin finish Spyder. And people say the new machines scratch easily. AND I would have to get two, as I have a 2018 RTL in both Washington and Arizona, and I would not...

    Catastrophic Damage at 2026 D3WR - any suggestions on transporters to ship an F3 home to NC?

    Another option is to just trade it in on something newer, with a discount of the cost of repair. The dealers cost to fix it is much lower than the cost to the consumer, so they still have a saleable used trike...

    Catastrophic Damage at 2026 D3WR - any suggestions on transporters to ship an F3 home to NC?

    I have had the recall done on three different 2018 RT's. In all cases they had the trike most of a week, despite the number of hours BRP allows for the recall, which, if I recall correctly, is 10.5 hours, when the tech is taking the most of three days to do it. All three have been fine after the...

    Catastrophic Damage at 2026 D3WR - any suggestions on transporters to ship an F3 home to NC?

    You sure it is not a 2017 covered by the Can Am recall? Might be a good idea to talk to BRP about it, given that it is a known issue with 2017 to 2019 Spyders. It is not a DIY job, so he might want to have it worked on in its current location, then go and ride it home...

    Is it worth swapping my Ryker Sport for a Spyder RT 2019?

    Kenda OEM tires and soft OEM sway bar. The 0-60 mph time for a 2019 Can-Am Spyder RT Limited (RTL) is approximately 5.5 to 6.5 seconds, depending on payload, road conditions, and the intervention of the vehicle's stability and traction control systems. The Can-Am Ryker Sport 900 does 0–60 mph...

    Is it worth swapping my Ryker Sport for a Spyder RT 2019?

    I have two 2018 RTL. One chrome model and one black model that I have been adding chrome pieces to. The 2018-19's have the full digital dash, which I like better than the earlier models. The 2019 chrome wheels are most likely the best looking wheels Can Am has put on a Spyder in my book...

    2018 RTL GPS circuit. Blew a fuse? Can anyone give me a pointer towards which one?

    BTW, I have never installed LEDs in the fog lights on any of my three 2018's, figuring the effort was not worth it. LEDs in the headlights on high beam do an excellent job making others aware of your presence on the road.

    2018 RTL GPS circuit. Blew a fuse? Can anyone give me a pointer towards which one?

    That is what the diagram that I posted from the service manual for the 2018 Spyder shows. And not coming from the radio.

    2018 RTL GPS circuit. Blew a fuse? Can anyone give me a pointer towards which one?

    OK, those GVSCers are on the same circuit as the GPS power on the left side behind the fuel tank. You will notice it says sw power or 12V always on along right side. That would be F6 SW or F7 12V always,

    2018 RTL GPS circuit. Blew a fuse? Can anyone give me a pointer towards which one?

    Actually the pre 2020 Spyders have better seen head lights vs the 2020+. All LEDs and they look like a RR Engine coming at you or following you. The new machines, we have one in our riding group have very narrow light beams, get a little off center and the light more or less disappears.

    I run high beam with LEDs all the time.

    Black wire was ground and violet is 12V.

    Rides Curtailed For Summer?

    I have a friend that spent a year on a Coast Guard 82' cutter in VN. We (the CG) had 26 of them there. I was construction/first year crew at the Loran C master station in Sattahip Thailand.

    Rides Curtailed For Summer?

    Muscle up sailor, you most likely saw worst conditions off the coast of Vietnam, including AO brought aboard in the water they distilled for use on the ship.
