• 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.

    My Cruise control won't allow me to accelerate just by twisting the throttle - Is this normal?

    I thought that was what was happening to mine on my last trip. I finally rotated the throttle far enough to go past the cruise speed to pass another vehicle and when I released the throttle it went right back to the set cruise speed.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Tuesday we jumped on the Spyder to head for Paducah KY for a Bob Evans run and an over night stay. Weather was nice but turned out hotter than forecast. It was good to get back home yesterday, but the Spyder did just fine on the trip. Oh and we tried the seat cushions that have been all over...

    Has anyone else had Update issues from their dealer on their 2025 Spyder?

    I was excited when the new release came out for us Android users but was disappointed with the BRP Go app, I'll just stick to my Garmin XT2 which I love. The other annoying part of the update in BRPGo mode is it transfers your audio to the speakers from the headset. I selected the option to...

    Fuel Gauge Quit, still shows Empty after filling - any ideas what's happened?

    I don't know what type of float the Spyder uses but I chased a bad sending unit in an MGB for two days. I could have 1/2 tank and jack up that side of the car to remove the sender and when it was mechanically operated it would go from full to empty out side the tank and it would show empty when...

    Need help with adjusting belt tension & alignment please? Any step-by-step guides?

    Has anyone used the Gates Belt App for your phone? It is supposed to read the tone of your drive belt when you tap it. Sounds like a no brainer to me compared to the Krikit. I cannot find the correct frequency to look for. The device BRP lists gives you a N reading, but that option is not...

    What is the best way to hardwire a Garmin XT2 to a 2026 Can Am Spyder S2S?

    There is already a canned plug for powering a GPS, and there are some aftermarket kits that allow you to tap into that plug for several other accessories. I did this on my '24 RTL. The the plug is down near the ECU, and I made the mistake of coiling up the excess wire from the Garmin mount. This...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    ...or you can do what I did and just cut one end off the old one. It comes right out at a safe height then, and you really are not going to save the old one to put back in, are you?

    Question for all, and BRP - why is there not a dip stick mark for the correct oil level in a cold Spyder engine?

    Don't feel bad my 2021 BMW M240 does not even have a dipstick!

    3 wheeler crash on the Dragon - was it a Spyder?

    I was up there last week when that accident happed, the man driving the trike was 59 and had a heart attack. His passenger was the other fatality. The bad part is there is NO cell coverage along 90 % of the Dragon so getting help there does take quite a while. We rode through there the next...
