You should consider a 360° camera mounted on a pole for viewing scenery and “holes”. It would get you above walls and railings and could be inter-woven through your videos.

Hi I have a ryker900 sport and I get 183 on a tank , but soon I will have a spider

I haven’t tried it but will the pump click off like it does with a car when it’s close to full?

Vehicle Stability System, not sure why it came up but some people are suggesting a low amp's from the battery? I guess you could get it checked with the dealer, some vehicles have a digital plug up these days which can tell you what the fault code means and what's needed to fix it, not sure if that facility is the same for the Can Am?

Thanks again for sharing this with us all stay safe 🙏🏿

I love the Can Am,I don't presently own one but have been looking at them for years now,I really wanted a 2 wheel bike however have a shoulder injury and back problem and feel like this is a better option for me, thanks for sharing you thoughts stay safe!!

Not a fan of pipes on a spyder...just noise...not a pleasant sound.

I am still on the fence about the Spyder and also still saving up. I think it's probably next year for me but I am using the time in-between to do as much research as possible. I always find you videos both reassuring and informative and if anything they helping me to make the decision and no doubt, take the plunge.

Thanks for your vid again Chris. I started with my dad back when I was 5 years old as a passenger. So been around 2 wheels for a little over 60 years. Yes I am older but really enjoy our S2S with my wife. Easiest way to have a passenger and not worry about laying the bike down. Had checked out the Spyder when they first came out but went the Harley trike then. But since they had the new model change after 2019 we went the Spyder and glad we did. One other comment. When riding 2 wheel when your passenger makes a small move in the seat you really feel the movement. But with the Spyder do not even seem like you feel your passenger move.

Good video and interesting to see the background for you.

Hi I just purchased a 2024 sea to sky to replace my Yamaha fjr. I've been riding for 40 years and it's time to move to 3 wheels. It reminds me of snowmobile riding. My wife got a 2024 F3S so we ride together. I also enjoy your trips around niagara falls, I'm from Ontario and have done many trips to the falls. Keep up the good work.

What an interesting talk today... always nice to hear from another Can am rider, Bob. I have a Gold Wing now and seriously been thinking of trading for a Can am... your video sure helps. Thanks, John

im saving money for my 1st spider...plus the gear and license, to even take the license you need motorcycle shoes ,jacket and helmet of course

You should let us know next time you're coming to Rhode Island and join the Ocean State Spyder Ryders on a ride.

Was interested in the Spyder for many years, but the cost of buying one put me off purchasing one. But after seeing what happened during Covid, we decided to enjoy life to the fullest & took the plunge buying our 2022 RTL chrome model. We now enjoy every minute riding it & have met so many others who feel the same way. Getting lots of comments were ever we go from interested people, even the hardcore bikers! Ride safe Chris, regards Stephen Alberta Canada.

Many years ago, in the late 90's, I enjoyed playing a role playing game called Shadowrun. That was the first time I saw graphics that had a reverse trike and I thought it was the coolest concept. Fast forward to 2007 and I started seeing them around. By 2014 I was able to buy my first 2011 RT-S Limited. I now have a 2015 F3-S

Spyder changed my life allso , Mt kidneys failed and I loast a lot of strength in my legs and had a hard time riding my vtx 1800n .I bought a 23 spyder in late June of 24 now I can enjoy the road once again. Watching your videos Cris realy influenced me to perchance my spyder. Thank you.... Walter

I just purchased the can-am spyder f3 s in April 3 2024.My first motorcycle was the can-am ryker rally 2019. I got hit on it April 1 2021. I love it so much, I had to get the can-am spyder f3 s.

I’ve mentioned before on one of your videos why I went to a Spyder. For me it was ride a Spyder or not ride any more. I have been riding since I was 15, Hondas and BMWs, and am now 76. But for the last 17 years I’ve been fighting two cancers, including chemo and a stem cell transplant. The chemo caused neuropathy in my feet and I can’t feel them, which throws my balance off, plus I have a bad right knee. So no more two up riding. My wife has always ridden with me and she was the one who mentioned that we should look at the Spyder. We looked, and bought a 2021 Cam Am Spyder RT Limited in Chalk and Black highlights. It was a great decision. You don’t have to worry about two up riding in slow traffic or stop and go traffic. It carries 80 lbs of gear and is the perfect touring bike. Our first trip was 2,700 miles. It has everything my 2013 BMW K1600GTL had, from stereo to cruise control to heated seats and more. It shines on the open road where you can put on the cruise control and let the miles fly by.

How did you get interested in the Spyder? Do you have one, are you in the market, or are you just in the early stages of consideration?

Has anyone ever told you that your voice sounds a lot like Jim Carrey? It's not a bad thing, I love Jim Carrey. I bet you could do a great "alrighty then" impression 😉

About the engine. Rotax is today through subsidaries owned by BRP. Originally the company, which is in Austria, was called Lohnerwerke which made trams, and their own engines. In the 70s they started making the engines for Sea-Doos. I am not sure now if BRP ownes about 75% of the Rotax company or if that is old news. Rotax is also famous for making aircraft engines, engines for small prop planes and UL and LAPL aircrafts.

I enjoyed the video. I really enjoyed the historical content. If you don't mind me asking, I've watched a few videos of border crossings and I'm perplexed at the sensors at the stop signs. Especially the numbers. I understand the cameras and all security measures taken, but do you know what the sensors are at the stop sign as you are waiting to pull up to the booth?

Change your battery and that should take it away. I bought a 22 RTL and I got several faults. On the Spyder Lovers forum they indicated that the batteries are not up to the correct charging amps from the factory. Apparently they put a cheaper battery 300 CA rather than the 315 which is indicated in the manual. Good luck. After I swapped the battery no more faults.

have a 2024 RT with 900 miles, at a drive thru last weekend, my turn at the order speaker, decided to shut the bike off. The line was long and the fans were running and with my helmet thought it would make my hearing and the order placement better if I turned it off. Hit the kill switch (maybe should have used the key) placed my order tried to start and got the VSS error code. Wouldn't start, turned the key off and back on and got the VSS error again but it started and the error went off and it ran fine. Kind of a scary moment, no way out of line, park brake was on and it was in 1st gear so pushing wasn't an option. Maybe neutral, maybe just turn the key off? Don't know but won't do that again, just leave it run. 1st service this weekend and I was told they have to do a software update as well, part of a recall for the TFT display

Thank you for another good video Chris. It is always interesting to listen to your opionions and I agree with most of them. I am not sure if BRP is coming with something new. They really need to fix some of the issues they already have. What I mean by that is several things I noticed. As example. - The new screen on 2024s and up is nice, but monocrhome..... Really? In 2024. - Rear tire hard to fill air.... This is really akward as the Spyder is supposed to help people out who have mobility issues and some may not be as likely to crawl around on the ground. - Reliability.... I am not only talking about the quality. But there are tons of people who cant get their ride fixed because there a months to wait for replacement parts, there are issues that the dealer mechanics dont know how to fix, nor does Can-Am, lots of issues with bluetooth, electronics, even such simple things as the radio. But one of the worst things is as the bike ages, dealers dont won to work on it anymore. What is that about, just because a bike is 10 years old dealers dont work on it????? - Then we have things like not being in the game with USB and charge ports. It is 2024. - Backup camera, it is 2024, even Piaggio has backup camera on their scooters. Think a 30 or 40K machine should have it. I like off-road, and I really liked the idea of something off-road capable on 3 wheel. The Canyon, well, it is a start, but although one may take it on a gravel road, and maybe some tractor roads, dont expect too much, the suspension travel is only 10 inches and some, I belive 10.2 inches. That is nothing for off-road. Off-roaders start complaining on bikes when it is less than 20 inches of travel. The Canyon looks rugged. I both like it, as well as I think it is fugly. Cant make up my mind. Maybe it will grow on me, but the price. No. Safe ride to Rhode Island. Cheers from Sweden

Vss codes could indicate a low voltage condition…. Check to see if there was a fault code recorded…the Spyder will store codes of concern. You can look them up in the display. If codes are recorded, you can look up what condition caused the code. BTW, love the 2025 models.

Enjoying watching your videos. I would like to know, what brand of GPS are you using? I am looking to get one soon and how does it mount in the center? I have looked at several but hard to decide some are nit waterproof.

I have a friend that is on his second one and he loves them.

Chris I believe the second service is 9300 miles after the 3000 mile so it would be at 12300 miles. Check it out.

Definitely agree on fuel mileage! My wife converted 18 months ago from w wheels to a Spyder and the fuel burn is really astonishing, she’s lucky to get 30mpg.

Just a note, when you fueled up I noticed a fuel truck delivering fuel to that location. I learned many years ago that if they are taking on fuel then it is stirring up the sediments in that tank. I wont buy gas there at that time because of that. I also think the light you saw may have to do with the gas tank being opened and filled up. Be careful and don't over fill it as that can cause various things to happen which we will not get into in this post. Blessings Brother

Id love to see a dct like on the goldwing shaft drive would be nice

Not a motorcycle

Just my thoughts... I doubt there will be any RT's that become partially off road capable. There were only 2 lines of Spyders, the F3 (Sporty & Touring) and the RT (Roadster Tour) and now BRP has just added a 3rd Spyder model, the Canyon, which is designed for off-road and on-road. The RT is their On Road RT (Roadster Tour), so in my opinion the RT will remain their On Road Touring Spyder. Perhaps BRP will expand trim levels for the Canyon for different levels of off-roading that you'd like to see, but I don't believe they'll give their Roadster Tour a partial off road design. Also, the F3 is more overdue for a design change than the RT. But since the Canyon just came out, a very significant major change / addition to the Spyder lineup, it may be a couple/few years yet before we see major changes to the F3 and RT.... again, these are just my thoughts.

Enjoyed your video. If they are going to change the engine make it a 1500cc with the same fuel mileage. And yes shaft drive would be great, but as we all know more money.

Great video and enjoy your trip. One question, where do you mount your E-Zpass on your spider?

Hi , can you tell me wich GPS mount you use ?

i have a ryker rally it sucks on the high way.

Main things I want to see on the can am- Shaft Drive, Faster-better mpg, keyless/proximty start and storage access, and adaptive cruise!

Shaft drive would be the bees knees. 😉

For us on the West Coast, we say I-90 goes from Seattle to Boston 😂 Thanks again for sharing your videos.

My 2024 sea to sky is having a Bluetooth fault and my dealer doesn’t know how to fix it so they are waiting to hear from the manufacturer

It can happens at times during start up if the battery voltage goes low during cranking.

i got vss fault twice on my ryker at start up early when i first got it, it went away quickly both times and i haven't seen it again .i have over 1600 miles on it now.. and it left no codes in the system.

VSS is Vehicle Stability System so it’s a major system but isn’t a problem unless the dash shows it as persistent. It could be as simple as a piece of dirt that went by the speed sensor or brake fluid level or any minor system hiccup- it’s only an issue if it persists. One key issue is if one tire is very low compared to the other two. Ten pounds or so different but would come on only when driving as Can -Am generally doesn’t hold most codes in memory. TPMS would cost easily another $1K and it is NOT a requirement by the government or any government. Probably not happening until the government requires it and considering all motorcycle sales are less than 3% of sales, I think is the number. I’m surprised you haven’t bought the FOBO system?

Motorcycle riders continue to be overrepresented in fatal traffic crashes. In 2022, there were 6,218 motorcyclists killed - 15% of all traffic fatalities. NHTSA data show that this is the highest number of motorcyclists killed since at least 1975. To keep everyone safe, we urge drivers and motorcyclists to share the road and be alert, and we're reminding motorcyclists to make themselves visible, to use DOT-compliant motorcycle helmets, and to always ride sober. www.nhtsa.gov/road-safety/motorcycles#resources

Hey Chris, my wife and I are traveling to Niagara Falls in late September,should we wear short pants or long pants. What will the weather be like then?

My twenty twenty one R T limited woud glitch Like that after fill up now and then. I use Marvel mystery oil in my gas and run about 34 miles per gallon.

How did you disable the annoying parking brake alarm for 30 seconds?
