• 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.

    Can I get GPS on my 2024 S2S 10.25" screen; or GPS Software/Hardware, Apples to Oranges, or maybe not...

    I optioned for the Garmin Zumo XT2 after I found out that my iPhone would blank its display as the temperature rose during the summer. The XT 2 has a great display and is visible in any kind of weather. The interface is kinda clunky but the XT 2 will keep a bunch of stats about your ride. I also...

    Bad Day at Black Rock - Anyone had any experiences with the Tow part of their Warranty?

    One good thing that has emerged from the incident is that my left mirror no longer has a slight tremor. It is rock steady. Go figure. Still have not heard from BRP...

    Any ideas on adding an aftermarket USB for phone charging during travels on our 2017 RT?

    I simply attach a USB cable to my iPhone 15 from the outlet in the 'glove box' on my '23 RTL. I run Apple Music to my Cardo Freecom 4X, make Siri queries, take phone calls, and my phone battery charge stays basically unchanged for hours. However, if it starts raining on me, I start getting...

    Bad Day at Black Rock - Anyone had any experiences with the Tow part of their Warranty?

    About a couple of weeks ago I was riding my '23 RTL along a highway in a built up area when I felt a tremendous shock through my handlebars and my FOBO TPMS started yelling in my headphones that my left front tire had 0 PSI. I was able to slow down and carefully pull into a Waffle House. I...

    Where/How can I mount an insta360 cam other than my handlebar?

    Their web site asserts that their clamps are designed for round bars and using non-round bars may lead to failure. I hd hoped that the passenger grab bars 'might' be round enough. Does anyone have any experience with mounting this camera? I have a 2023 RTL. Thanks for any insights...

    So, how fast can a spyder go and safely make a sharp right turn at an intersection?

    Well here it is almost 10 months from my original post and I am about to enter my late eighties and I still love riding my 2023 RTL, My current mileage is about 6500 miles. I have implemented many of the suggestions from this thread and feel very comfortable with handling my Spyder in...

    Totally bonkers 'Miles to empty' on Can Am 2023 RTL - can it be fixed?

    I have tried both ways, did not make a difference. Heh heh, a couple of days ago, I stopped briefly at a store. When I stopped the Spyder, the miles to go was about 140; when I restarted, the miles to go was about 75! Sometimes it works the other way, and sometimes while riding, I will notice...

    Totally bonkers 'Miles to empty' on Can Am 2023 RTL - can it be fixed?

    Oh well, I took my Spyder to the dealer today, he scanned manuals and BRP blogs and found nothing... He said he would open an issue with BRP and notify me with any response. I left the dealer and started my RTL and the miles to empty went from 12? to 19? WOW. Perhaps the problem was magically...

    Totally bonkers 'Miles to empty' on Can Am 2023 RTL - can it be fixed?

    My Spyder has dementia! Recently, after a fill up, the 'Miles To Empty' value bears no relation to reality. One recent fill up gave a range of less than 100 miles (and I take care to add more fuel, almost to the point of overflow). Today, I did a fill up (93 octane, no ethanol) when I got...

    Is Plexus, the plastic cleaner/protector, available anywhere besides the manufacturer?

    I guess the title says it all - I did go to the manufacturer's site, but that would require the purchase of a case of the (expensive) product.

    I tried to install the BRP drivers backrest...

    I used this BACK REST KIT I did not have to even remove the front seat. Sounds like you might have used a different kit.

    You are correct, I have a 2023 RTL

    I tried to install the BRP drivers backrest...

    The instructions were very simple. Emplace the locking wire into the holder, slide the panel nut onto the holder, put the 'black slider' into the holder, and then use the bolt to attach the slider to the panel nut... Unfortunately, the hole in the slider and the panel nut were nowhere close to...
