• 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.

    Yes, you're right, and as soon as I did it I remembered I've done it before (age thing!) Thanks.

    ODOMETER GONE MISSING on my 2024 SPYDER!

    Well here's one for you - unless I'm thick, I updated my Spyder 2024 RT with the new software and all went well. Indeed, I have to say the Apple CarPlay and iPhone connectivity is vastly improved. Then I wanted to look at my Total Milage, from new last August 2024, but trust me, it's nowhere to...

    HowTo: Setting the front tire pressures equally each side.

    Yes, whoever said look under seat, they were correct! Here is the info, in case it can help anyone else. I went out in some great UK Spring sunshine wearing a so called hip compression sleeve, hoping it would reduce the pain on my hip whilst riding, but alas, it did not work. So I had to return...

    HowTo: Setting the front tire pressures equally each side.

    Good idea. I've been looking at the manual in my app, not thinking of the paper book 😁 I guess I'm too modern. Ha ha!

    Foot Brake vs Handlebar Brake - would it be better for me?

    Hi I'm still on a list to have a Hip replacement but I'm keen to get out riding my Spyder RTL I bought new last August. If I ride at the moment I'm in so much pain having my legs apart and then having to press on the brake foot pedal. I'm asking, would it be a lot better if I fitted the...

    HowTo: Setting the front tire pressures equally each side.

    I have a 2024 Spyder RT LTD bought new last August. I've been used to 2 wheels and tyre pressure monitors. Now I have asked what the tyre pressures should be? Nobody seems to be able to give me a straight answer, a bit like potations here in the UK...

    Does anyone leave the parking brake off during winter storage? And some rodent protection discussion...

    I have similar going on. I have my Spyder 2024 RT-L linked up from a wire in the frunk to an optimizer although it doesn't seem to display as much as when on motorbikes? Maybe see like you say take battery out? I guess it's just under that plastic zipper cover? Also you say update of the display...

    Anyone fitted an Apple Carplay dongle to make '24 ACP Wireless to iPhone?

    It's a joke! I've tried three different units that work perfectly on my KTM 1290S, but not on the Can Am!

    2024 Spyder RT LTD Windscreen Not Working!? What am I doing wrong?

    I might look for a big Hole to crawl down :) What a Plonker I am! I was using the switchgear that puts music up and down etc. Then after your comment the penny dropped - the windscreen control is on the tank! LOL What an idiot! Anyway, it's only done 700 miles, as I'm awaiting my hip...

    2024 Spyder RT LTD Windscreen Not Working!? What am I doing wrong?

    Hi. I'm looking at my Can-Am Spyder and the electric screen has stopped working? Well, let me explain... it's not working from the handlebar left side controller. When I shut it off, the windscreen goes down; when I start it up, it comes up a tad. But you can't control it from the left side...

    Does anybody use a J & S Jack to lift their Spyder?

    Let us know how you get on. I've bought this one here in the UK: https://youtu.be/EUeSWdRBef8?si=QQo7i1CbG7foT0P2 BUT I HAVE YET TO USE IT I am unsure where to place it under my Spyder 2024 RT Ltd. I wish they had marker points for front and rear jack?

    Anyone here like planning their own routes?

    Anyone here who likes planning their own routes? I have been planning routes around Europe for years using the latest GPS systems, mainly Garmin, and I have ridden hundreds of thousands of miles around Europe following the pink line! We ride as a group a lot, and we always have the same route...

    Contemplating buying a Spyder - any reliability, power, and buyer's remorse issues?

    I bought my 2024 Spyder RTL in August, and after 55 years of motorcycling, including wings BMW, GS, GSA, KTM, 1290's, etc. I'm still in the mood of, "WTF have I done!" The good points are as said, my missus jumps on the back and we go for a bimble, but as for me trying to stop making it ride...

    MY new Spyder RT Ltd 2024 O/S PANNIER WILL NOT OPEN!

    They should make it central locking like the Honda Goldwing.

    MY new Spyder RT Ltd 2024 O/S PANNIER WILL NOT OPEN!

    OK thanks for all your suggestions, I can report that I've fixed the problem. I should have YouTube'd it on my channel, but I forgot!! What I did was to remove the passenger seat; then the 2 x self-tappers holding a plastic trim around the rear grab handle, which gave me visual access to see the...

    MY new Spyder RT Ltd 2024 O/S PANNIER WILL NOT OPEN!

    I think it was too tight of a close with a slam maybe :( It's the off-side, or in other language, the right-side pannier. I had my drone and stuff in the on-side/left pannier, and it was fine.

    MY new Spyder RT Ltd 2024 O/S PANNIER WILL NOT OPEN!

    Hi, has anyone got the answer to my problem? We went out for a ride and at the cafe stop my dear lady put her helmet inside the O/S Pannier, she did not lock it. After breakfast we came back to the Spyder, and we could not open the pannier - IT'S NOT LOCKED! I tried pushing it with my body and...
