• 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.

    Anyone purchased BEST Extended Warranty in Canada?

    When I bought my new 2019 F3 in June 2021, BRP had a promo, which included 2 extra years of the BEST warranty. Due to the high cost of repairs, I am considering extending my warranty by one year, which is the maximum permitted by BRP. I was surprised by the cost: 1 year BEST. $1971 plus tax 2...

    Is there a LinQ rack to fit F3 base model?

    Hello: I won the new BRP Urban bag for the LinQ system. Of course, the base plate is available for the Ryker and some F3's, and RT models. I would like to see if a way can be devised to carry this bag on my F3 base. I can buy a rear rack, but have not seen a rear rack that has the LinQ...

    Duffey Lake loop

    Eight of us from the Vancouver Island Spyder group took 7 Spyders (6 RT's, and my F3 base) from Vancouver Island to ride the 'Duffey Lake Loop'. This is a very popular route with motorcycles. We did the route in clockwise fashion, leaving from Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay, overnighting in Cache...

    Made a deal today - looking for lighting ideas?

    Hello: I previously posted on the Ryker forum about my upcoming ankle replacement surgery. I got lots of good tips from you guys. Today, I made a deal on a new, left over 2019 F3 base model. I want to do something about increasing the lighting, but not to mess with the CANBUS system, and...

    Upcoming left ankle replacement - will a Ryker work for me?

    Hello: I broke my lower left leg a number of years ago, had several surgeries, but now at the point where the doctor indicates replacement or fusion. I am thinking that a Ryker or semi-automatic Spyder where the left foot rests on a peg/floorboard would work for me. I am not sure that after...

    Being seen

    Hello: I went for a demo test on a Ryker. I wear a hi-vis jacket; my helmet is white/red/black. I was heading down the road, slowly, toward a stop sign. On my right, entering the road from a fuel station, was a large dump truck. As I do with my two-wheeler, I am always looking for hazards...

    Shad saddlebag on a Rally?

    I found a demo 2019 Rally with about 1200 km on it. It has one Shad hard saddlebag on it. As the Rally does not have a rear fender, anyone have a Shad on their Rally and any issues with mud etc. affecting the saddlebag? Thanks Rick

    Good deal?

    I am a Canadian spending the winter in the US. I found a used 2019 Ryker 900 at a Can-Am dealer, with 400 miles on it. The previous owners traded it for a 2 wheel motorcycle. The dealer believes there is no warranty coverage. If there is, it is not valid in Canada. Anyhow, if I can get it...
