- Ok hate is a strong word. Dislike would be better. I honestly love the Spyder much more than I dislike/hate and would buy it over and over again.

No bike is perfect, but it sounds like the things that you don't like are fixable/upgradeable or outside Dealership/app related and not really bike related. Roger and Rochelle, @Harley Throttle Juice are awesome
I really am nit picking a bit. I’d buy one over and over again. Thanks for watching Des!
Thank you, Desiree! 🙏🏻✌️
@@HarleyThrottleJuice you got it🤙🏼
@@602North if you have to reach so far to find thing you don't like, it means that you really like your bike❤
I haven't had a manual transmission in quite awhile, but I miss that too...my dad made me learn to drive with a stick shift and I always loved the extra control. Well, so glad Mrs. 602 is able to drive your model!! 🥰
Rog & Rochelle are amazing folks! So glad you are enjoying their content. Honestly, there is no perfect bike and I could make a laundry list of items that need attention on every bike I own. Several of yours are on point and should be addressed. Sometimes the Mfg does that to get the consumer to buy their upgrades. Harley wrote the book on this! Good video sir. Eric
True Eric. I love it so much more than I hate it!
Thank you, Eric! 🙏🏻✌️
Thx for the shout outs.
Regarding a manual transmission, I think if you note the demographics of their users, most are not previously a bike rider or recently a rider. Thus, they decided to remove the clutch due to warranty or abuse on the part of prehistoric are driving an automatic car.
Great points.
Great point!
RJ, thank you so very much for the shout-out, you are a true gentleman, sir! ✌️
Well deserved HTJ! Love your channel.
@@602North thanks mate, likewise! ✌️
Thanks for your candid insight era RJ! We appreciate the feedback and they will be forwarded to the appropriate teams for consideration!
Thank you. I still LOVE my Spyder!
HTJ is awesome. Cool of you to give them a shoutout. I’d love to try a Can Am. They do look like fun.
Thank you Chewie. They really are fun.
RJ!! Thank you so much for the shout out! We really appreciate your support xxx
I don’t think any bike is perfect as many have mentioned before, however, if the good out-ways the bad and it get you to a place of relaxation and rejuvenation then it’s only positives ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m with you re manual, we all grew up driving stick and it’s what we know right 😂😂😂
Thanks for sharing your list my friend, I have been sending my son the links to yours and Jody channels as he loved spyders!
Thanks Roc ❤️!
One of my riding buddies has a Spyder and he loves it. His wife made him get off 2 wheels a few years ago and he didn't want a trike. They all have little things that need to be tweeked. Thanks for sharing. Ride safe 👊👍🇺🇸
Great video. Dealer support oh man I feel you. Customer service can make or break a dealership experience.
For sure WPC. Thanks for watching buddy
Haven't used the BRP app....glad you are figuring it out!!
Perfect timing I just saw the 5 things you love. Great job. Trikes number ☝
Thank you! There’s much more I like than dislike.
Very interesting and seeing your other videos I know you love it more than you dislike it. Can't wait to see what you do with your Jeep Gladiator!
Thanks! Parts back ordered for Jeep but will be here at some point soon I hope.
I’d love to ride a canam. My wife and I looked at one in Memphis back in 2020. But they aren’t legal here in Western Australia.
That’s too bad OO. They really are fun to ride.
Oo I didn’t know that, geez talk about inconsistencies in our country lol 😂 😂
@@Zulu_117_ST too right
great info 602!! hope you get to do some chasing today for us both
That trunk thing...I try VERY hard to remember how to do that....
Can't complain about our dealer...only the drive factor...4.5 hours away, but we just make a ride/trip out of it!
Very well explained. Even if I am not into Spyders, I like it a lot. Thanks for sharing. As for the lady there, when you were buying... have to consider that that day she had a date worth more than an average Spyder, that is why she was typing on the phone all the time. :) Just guessing. Keep up. Gave you the 37th like.
p.s. Will check HTJ and sub.
Thank you my friend!
@@602North Anytime buddy. :)
As a few have said, no bike is perfect, and at least there seems to be the solutions available, albeit at added costs.
I have not seen many Can-Ams here in Australia, I am fascinated by them though. ✌️🇦🇺
Great job again, RJ! 😉✌️
Thank you sir. I sure love it much more than I hate it!
Woo woo! Harley Throttle Juice!! 🥰
I do love your opening. Ours is a lot funner lol. Our limited did come with the fog lights. After watching your video you need one like ours. Our best upgrades is the magic mirrors. Makes life so much better.
Those magic mirrors are a game changer!
Great concept video.. 👍😊
Thanks
I'm with you on the manual transmission. I love driving manual. My wife can't drive manual so now I have my first automatic, which has been an adjustment! Sometimes in emergency stop situations my left foot waves around to find the clutch hahah. Anyway, between you and Purple on Three I think I have to test ride a Can-Am at some point. They do look like a lot of fun!
Thanks Matt and you should ride one sometime…they are a lot of fun!
Have to agree with you and DFW Spyder moose about the FUN FACTOR!!
Like your channel, Its nice to see youtubers with Spyder content.
Thank you!
Great video, RJ! I agree...would buy my F3 over and over and over again!! 💜 🤗
Every time I see BRP for Can-am, I automatically think about the Blue Ridge Parkway. 😂😂
I do the same but opposite 🤣
@@602North 🤣😆
Nice video
Thanks for sharing
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Good top 5 RJ ! The #1 also kills me with any vehicle and motorcycle manufacturer. I understand and accept paying for a hardware (meaning a part) but cost to develop software or apps get covered after selling few units so …..it should be already loaded for free.
Truth brother
Hey RJ. Purple on 3 sent me over. Just subscribed to your channel .
Thank you Larry and did same. PO3 is one awesome person and PSPTOMMYG as well!
I've never have ridden one before, but they look like a blast...do the dealerships ever offer rider days when you can test ride their models?
They do Bob. I’d like to go to one and ride the Ryker.
I have yet to ride a Spyder yet. My buddy wants to get one, so I'll venture out with him and go for a spin. Maybe there is something I'm missing. Thanks for the share!
You should do it. One word of advice: lighten up on handlebar grip. It tends to sway a bit left and right and 1st timers (including me) think it’s all over the road. It’s really not but is sensitive to a tight grip. Thanks for watching!
@@602North Thanks for the tip! I've learned to loosen my grip while riding 2 wheels too.
@@JunkyardDadski I had the “death grip” on the Spyder when I rode it home for dealer and was worried about it until someone told me to lighten up. I don’t think I did that on 2’s since I rode for over 40 years
Don't know anything about Spyders but I love that color on yours. I'd like to try one out sometime just for the fun of it
Thanks! You should!
Be careful, you ride one, you'll probably buy one at some point. 😉👍
I'd like to try one out one day. Looks fun. Did the color!
Thanks Mike!
Hey I was wondering, you mentioned that you put your phone on the mount in the middle of your handlebars. Which phone mount are you using? I'm looking to get one for my spider RT and I really don't know which one to get for the middle of my handlebars.
I’ll look up the link and comment to you on it. I think I got it at Slingmods.com
This is the one I have:

Thanks
Love the color of your Spyder. Great video.
Thank you!
Fog lights...I bought mine used and it had fog lights already installed, but I ended up putting on the LED ones anyway...so not sure if the fog lights came on it originally or not...🤷
I got the aftermarket ones from Lamonster
@@602North that's where I got my LED ones too 🤗
Well 🤔
HTJ 👊👍✊. Like everyone said there’s always going to be good and bad on any bike. I guess I’m in love with my bikes because I have no complaints about either of them lol 😂. If I was going to buy a three wheeler it would probably be a Harley as I’m a little bit hesitant about having two wheels up front. I guess if have to test ride one ☝️. You mean the frunk?🤣😆. I’m actually afraid to test ride one because I don’t have enough money to get one anyway lol 😂. She sure is pretty 😍. Wow I didn’t know it was an automatic! Makes sense. My town is so small there aren’t any spyders here lol 😂. Yes sir I wouldn’t want my bike sitting in the weather either! I’m glad you like your trike RJ ✊👊👍. BRP app? Man I’m either stupid or just ignorant lol 😂
Peace out buddy
😂 always love your comments Greg. BRP is the company who makes the Can Am. Around here people say BRP for Blue Ridge Parkway and confuses me as to what they are talking about! Bombardier Recreational Products.
@@602North oh okay gotcha well I wish I was as comfortable talking to a camera as you are. Its almost like I’m doing an oral book report in grade school lol 😂
🤣 you do a great job RHC! And you are light years ahead of me!
I'll check out HTJ cam's are beautiful enjoy stay safe mate 👍
Thanks brother
The only thing I use is the Bluetooth for music to the speakers on my 21' RTL. I deleted the app from my phone too. I let the Sena 20s work like they were designed and not through the Spyder. I've got 3 vehicles that the phone connects everytime I get in ,but the Spyder randomly disconnects the Bluetooth.
There are some oddities with it. Thanks for watching and commenting
I have that color F3 and I love it. Its a 2019. I had a similar experience in the buying process.
I know you do because we’re friends on Facebook lol. Good to see you here!
And I love the striping on yours. I’ve been thinking about doing that to mine. Thanks for watching my friend!
@@602North I love your Videos. Keep them coming. I didn’t realize we are Facebook friends.
Nice👍
What is the best iPhone holder to get for my Spyder?
This is the one I use Mary and I'm very happy with it. - www.slingmods.com/can-am-spyder-f3-cell-phone-gps-docking-station-with-phone-charge-port?vehicle=1
Oh, why do you want a sway bar ? To improve handling or towing ?
It’s really a antisway bar it improves handling
Rog and Rochelle are beautiful hearted people.
A great list. Definitely real points from experience rather than sensationalised click bait I’ve seen on other channels.
Thank you for your kind words and for watching.
Great video my friend 👍 Thank you for sharing 👍
Thank you very much!
@@602North Thank you my friend 😊
Good points on the changes...Ohhhh by the way...... I also know someone that would buy a Can Am again...LOL! 😂😂 💜💜
😂 I’ll bet I could guess!!!
@@602North 😂😂
HTJ kicks ass. Damn apps....I hate buying shit unless it's not another motorsickle! Good list.
Thanks brother!
I bought a manual but RT limited I had to purchase the one from the previous year I have a 2021 I was gonna get the 2022 but it's the same bike as it's 2021 and it's 2020 . So I bought the 2021 I bought the manual And I bought the ceramic specs Electrical. $95. I was lucky to get it that it was stll in print.
Nice George!
one thing I hate about the internet is company's employees pretending to be happy customers. I saw that on Yamaha forums after I bought my bran new $13,000 Yamaha lemon.
Sorry to hear that. Yeah, I’m not N employee or even an “ambassador” for BRP. I have been very happy thus far with my F3.
We agree BRP app is no good. We don't use it at all. Service is a nightmare. Bob ended up doing our oil change in the campground. It was messy. They are great to sell but not repair, improvement or update.
Thanks Barb. I’m going to let them do this service/Baja Ron install so they can do the updates but will change and will change the oil myself on the next one!
Where they've placed the valve on the rear wheel to put air in the tyre.
That is challenging!
I strongly agree about the plastic!!!!!!!!! It really scratches and swirls bad at the slightest touch. At least mine does.
It does brother. I had mine ceramic coated to try combating the swirls. Thanks for watching
Yea we try that brp app found it was to hard .
I wash they would come up with a way to integrate Apple Carplay/Android Auto. That would be a gamechanger!
I used to have a scooter when I was young I’m 70 all of a sudden I want to get another bike but one day I want one and one day I know and I know it’s kind of dangerous but and I’m healthy am I just goofy or I just wanna want to have a little fun
You just want to have fun Robert! CanAm’s are great for fun and easy to ride. Hope you get one soon buddy.
Looking into getting a Spyder (or other 3 wheeler) in the near future for myself and my adult autistic son (I would not trust him on the back of a 2 wheeler).
That’s a great idea and I’ll bet he would love riding on it! So much safer.
Other TH-camr said the transmission needs improvement. First gear sounds rough, clunking sound, not smooth.
I think it’s fine. It does clunk shifting to first but every motorcycle I’ve owned did thy to a certain degree. It’s been out there long enough to prove reliable.
Limited does not have fog lights. Cheaper for you to add than BRP.
For sure Melody. Hope you are having a terrific day
You would think with how much Spiders cost that the apps would come with it.
Agreed on that one!
HTJ🤘
Thanks man! 🙏🏻✌️
Three things I hate about the Can-Am Spyder 🤨
It gets STUCK IN TRAFFIC - STUCK IN TRAFFIC - STUCK IN TRAFFIC! 😉
Too much upkeep on a Can-Am spider. Tires don't last long on the back. Rotate the front tires every 5,000 miles back. You don't rotate him you got to take them off from the rim and replace them on the other one too much work. Anytime you do work to one it's too much breakdown too much time consuming. The book says that you're not even supposed to take it to a car wash. Give me a two-wheel anytime three just ain't working.
I didn’t get to that point on tires before I sold it and the F3 isn’t near as bad for panel removal as the RT. I thought it was a very reliable machine but my biggest complaint is the dealers. Servicing was expensive and took weeks. Not that I couldn’t change my own oil but I like to have them gone over and hooked to the computer for updates etc. Happy to be back on 2-wheels.
try to get it repaired in upstate BY. Service sucks
One of the reasons I sold it. It was great though and I never had any issues with it but I lived in fear of what may happen and had read horror stories. Enjoyed it while I owned it.
