• 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.

    What is the 'proper' method to secure a Spyder on or in a trailer for transport?

    I use E-Track and E-Track straps on front and rear. I use straps on each side from the rear tire rim with soft straps.

    Can-Am dealers not hungry?

    Before I purchased my 2022 RT, I called 3 dealers to make an appointment... #1 told me to call back in a couple days, because I had a trade and the sales mgr was off a couple days... #2 I actually went to this dealer, only he was too busy answering complaints about why parts weren't in and never...

    So many complaints about the Spyders. Anyone with no problems?

    2022 RT - never been to dealer... have to take it in for the brake light switch recall.

    Which do you like better; Toe shifters, or Heel-Toe shifters?

    Heel/Toe shifter for me rode past 35 years with one until I bought the Spyder......

    A small Safety Mod to our 2022 RTL with a big improvement!

    Installed both the shifter pad and turn signal switch - follow up; took a 3-hour ride and never once had to look down at either. It's just amazing that something so small could make such a major difference. THANKS AGAIN DAVE!

    I put my Spyder to bed today, for A Long Winter's Sleep!

    I put mine to bed a week ago, we'll wake it up come April...... In MI, Progressive Insurance changed its policy - no motorcycle storage, no more discounts... I was able to renegotiate some stuff without changing anything.
