• 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.

    Here's some Weird Misinformation about Spyder RT's!!

    Does the Spyder just not want to go faster, or is the Child Bride throttling your enthusiastic riding style? 🤣

    Has anybody figured out a way to reset CarPlay while riding? (‘25 Canyon Redrock)

    A bit of time with Google suggests that the Canyon was released in Spring 2025. The BRP Connect v3.10 was released in late 2024, so it's probably the original version that came on your Canyon. You can connect your Canyon to a Wifi network and download software updates. I've done it several...

    OEM Passenger Arm Rest makes it hard to reach Heated hand grips - How do I fix this problem?

    Heated gloves? I had a friend who suffered from Raynaud's syndrome, which is a circulatory problem that closes off the blood vessels in hands and feet when exposed to cold. They eventually found some heated gloves. If I remember correctly, they looked like regular cold weather gloves, but...

    Does anyone know where to hook up a Pedal box on a Canyon?

    I don't have a service manual, so I don't know how it is formated. I'd start at the physical throttle and work your way back in the manual's diagrams to the electronic components.

    Random thought for the day

    Google found a seriously long list of things that Alexa and Siri will say No to, or make a rude response along the lines of "What were you thinking?"

    Is there a device to add to a Seat Backrest that Massages the lower back?

    Google to the rescue...maybe. I found something on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/364205821348 Please note that eBay listing says "Backrest Massage Pad" but it doesn't appear to be a vibrating pad. I'm guessing the nubs on the pad "massages" your back using the vibration of riding. It has a...

    Newbie here - can I hook my Garmin directly to the battery? Is the Spring 2026 Android Update still coming?

    You are correct, that when the cover for the port on the back of the Zumo is open it's no longer weatherproof. And yes, the Zumo dock/mount is a better choice, but of course that would need to be hard wired to the bike. I did that originally, but removed it when CAN-AM finally got Apple CarPlay...

    Newbie here - can I hook my Garmin directly to the battery? Is the Spring 2026 Android Update still coming?

    Yes, which is enough to power a Garmin Zumo GPS. I had to do a bit of Googling as I didn't know the correct name for the USB power connector on the back of the Garmin Zumo. The connector is a Mini USB Type B. The cable that comes with the Garmin has a Mini USB Type B connector on one end and...

    Newbie here - can I hook my Garmin directly to the battery? Is the Spring 2026 Android Update still coming?

    Several people have posted about the accessory power port that's located on the right front side of the bike, and even mentioned wago lever wire connectors like on the Lamonster adapter. You do need that kind of connector, but the accessory power port is hidden behind a plastic panel that you...

    2012 RT SM5 (A&C) - Where is my horn located?

    I don't know. Does your horn not work? If it is working why not trying sounding it and looking where the sound is coming from?

    Newbie here - can I hook my Garmin directly to the battery? Is the Spring 2026 Android Update still coming?

    Then you have a glove box in front of the handlebars with a USB A connector. Connect your Garmin to that connector for power.

    Newbie here - can I hook my Garmin directly to the battery? Is the Spring 2026 Android Update still coming?

    @JC4givs, I would not connect directly to the battery. What year and model is your Spyder? There has been some discussion about whether CAN-AM can/will accommodate Android users in the future. First comment is that CAN-AM currently supports Apple CarPlay, which is not directly supported by...

    2025 Spyder Sea 2 Sky - Where is the Dedicated GPS Power Plug-in?

    This is an interesting question, whether the 2025 or 2026 has the accessory power port on the right side. I have this docking station installed on my 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky: https://www.slingmods.com/canam-spyder-rt-2020-up-handlebar-mount-12-volt-docking-station-with-usb-charge-ports It does...

    2025 Spyder Sea 2 Sky - Where is the Dedicated GPS Power Plug-in?

    I grabbed an Acrobat PDF copy of the 2025 Spyder RT Operator's Guide from this site: https://www.operatorsguides.brp.com/P/5 On Page 34 it confirms that there is a USB port in the "glove box" in front of the handlebars, same as on my 2024 Spyder RT Sea2Sky. I used a Garmin Zumo XT plugged...

    After 3 years of planning, I am riding Route 66 starting June 8

    I still have Basecamp installed on my computer but gave up on it. I asked Google how to import a GPX file into a Garmin 396 and it said: Computer (Recommended): Connect the Garmin 396 to your computer via USB cable. Open the device drive (labeled Garmin or zumo). Copy and paste your .gpx file...
