• 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.

    Newbie asking for feedback and advice - Any thoughts or advice regarding buying a 2011 RT-S? What are the most popular tires for it?

    I have a 2012 with 81,000 miles. It runs fine, tho I am having a starting issue I can't figure out. No Can Am dealer will work on it so I found an independent shop that says he will. We will see. If you can't do your own maintenance work, stay away. I run Coopers on the front and a Kumho on the...

    The Spyder is certainly not a Honda - but the reliability sure would be nice! Still not switching tho!!

    Vito, try adding just a little slack back in until it locks in place.

    Does this Ultra Plus Full Synthetic 10W40 oil work for our Spyders?

    The oil I use does shear down to 20w in 5000 miles but then I change it at 4500 miles. This is up from every 3000 miles back in the old 2 wheels days, which was up from every 1000 miles originally, and that was on a motorcycle with separate trans but no filter. We have come a long way baby.

    2012 RT SE5 - any suggestions on where to get floorboards to replace the front pegs?

    Look on ebay and see if you can find somebody with a set of Seal Floorboards. They bolted on to the stock foot pegs and would fit anything from a 2010 to a 2017. The company is shut down now and I am pretty sure the owner has passed away. I have had mine for 10 years and really like them. My...

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

    Another thought - if your route is not to set stop for lunch or at least a few minutes look around at Clines Corners in New Mexico, you should. It has been a Route 66 landmark for many years, one that survived the interstate shift. Still looks almost the same. I was there in 2019 and it was just...

    Is the Ultimate Seat truly worth it for the 2023 F3 limited.

    If you want a less costly avenue to go down this has worked for me for over 60,000 miles. Contact Dave at motorcycledave.com and talk to him about his hospital grade gel seat pad. You install it yourself under the upholstery. Total cost including an air staple gun was around $120.00. If you...

    My 2012 Spyder RT turns over once then resets

    So Peter, if I understand you are you saying that with a bad battery in the circuit vs a low charge battery one of those booster packs is not going to start it either?

    Something new in helmets!

    I really like the idea. If the face shield flips up, that would solve the opening problem for me. Looks like carbon fiber, so should be light.

    Large Power Sport Dealer ditches Spyders

    Karl Malone Power Sports in Provo discontinued Spyders as of Jan1 2026. They were not that great in the service dept anyway as far as I could tell. I don't know about the other Karl Malone dealerships around Utah, probably should call.

    I've gone from ATGATT to H (just Helmet).

    I know this thread is 7 months old but as riding season comes on us I thought it might be good to bring to the front again. I learned to ride in Argentina in the early 60's on a DKW 200CC. No nothing. No gloves, jacket, helmet, boots, just whatever came out of the closet. When I came back to the...

    Anyone use an Iridium face shield? Any advantages/disadvantages?

    I use a Bell but dont remember the model. I know it is not a Revolver. It is a modular. Maybe an SRT?

    Anyone use an Iridium face shield? Any advantages/disadvantages?

    So how do I find one of these if I was one for my helmet? An Iridium shield.

    Does this Ultra Plus Full Synthetic 10W40 oil work for our Spyders?

    Just ran across this thread after reading Ron's post and watching the video. Acdcking, did you ever try the Ultra plus oil? If so what did you think?

    I had both of these...

    Bikes were insane in the 70's. It is amazing any of us lived through that time. My best friend had a brand new Mach III and I had New Norton Command. He would get off work at 12:00 on Saturday and meet at his shop in Provo. Our 3rd friend on an RD350 would and we would head for Eureka a decaying...

    No more motorcycle magazines for me...

    Noting the demise of print media, it seems many of us have made the choice to move on. Cycle,, Cycle World, Rider, Road Runner, Road Rider, AMA, and many others over years have had place in my library . As a Life AMA member only the digital comes free, I don't care enough to buy the printed...

    Have you seen the Outrageous cost of Spyder accessories!?!

    I have a Hopnel bag I bought over 30 years ago for a dark brown 1986 Venture Royale I had back in the day. It is still very nice though faded. Their stuff is very well made and lasts a long time. They still make the same bag, but only in black these days. It fits in the rack.

    I just bought the Can Am Spyder S2S Luggage - sidebags excellent, trunk or top box bag not so much!

    Granted mine is an antique at 2012, but it came with the semi rigid bags as part of the Limited package. Two side bags, one frunk bag ( very nice with wheels), and one trunk bag,too small to be useful for very much. That bag gets little to no use, but the other three are very useful and very...

    Any help or pointers with changing the trunk lock? 2010 RTS-SE5

    The OEM vacuum hoses are rubber and given time and heat break down and crack and leak vacuum. Should be replaced with silicon hoses as soon as possible. You will have to buy some bulk hose and make your own. They are 3mm hose and should be cut to the same length. This only applies to VTwin...
