I recently went from an F3 (2016) to a 2021 RT. The rear cog on the RT is smaller than my F3. I live in Canada. The end result is ( and I like it) is at highway speed I am revving about 300 RPM lower in 6th gear. I just started following your channel....... good vids!! Cheers from the Great White North.
I remember when I upgraded from an ‘89 Goldwing to a ‘95. Before I left the dealer my ‘89 was sold and going to Ireland. The reason is similar to you as the U.S. models have more bells and whistles (lights and stuff) than the UK models.
Great video. Very interesting actually, loved it. I actually like your turn indicators in the side mirrors better than the ones on my R/T limited here in the U.S. . Thank you for this comparison video.
Greetings, thank you very much for your research and for taking the time and trouble to let us know the results. I've just bought a 2020F3 S SE6 and would not have realized there were differences so would have accepted what I got without being any the wiser. Now I still have to accept but do so with knowledge which is power.
Hi Dion. Congratulations on your purchase. Myself and my partner Catrina both have owned a F3-S and to date it is still my favourite model. The Aussie version is no less a great bike. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun on your bike. It is very likely most dealers wouldn't know the difference between the two country versions if you asked. We eventually purchased the factory exhaust and returned it to its original condition. It's not necessary, but we just liked the factory look better. If we can help you in the future, drop us a line here or on Facebook @Mike DownUnder All the best and be safe. Mike & Catrina
Thankyou. Yes...the pre 2020 model RT’s had the mirror indicators. For some reason the new design RT’s didn’t get the mirror turn signals in the US, Canada, Europe and a few other countries.
Here is the site where I reference part numbers. I suggest you’ll need to do a deep dive to find that part number, also, possibly contact your local dealer and tell them what you’re trying to achieve. They will have a better parts database. Link: can-am-shop.brp.com/on-road/us/en/shop/sales/parts/ You need to research if the wiring exists to support the side mirror indicators in your models. All the best
can't imagine what the f-3 is like with a 79 tooth rear sprocket. Mine in the US has an 89 tooth rear sprocket and is a pig off the line from a dead stop, can't imagine what ten less teeth would be like. Might have to get off and give it a push to get it going!!!
Hi Allan Stop 🛑 pushing that F3 😁 Even our F3 is reasonable off the mark, my rear tyre/tire can attest for that. Yours should be better again. I wonder if you don’t have something else going on...just a thought 🤔 Cheers Mike
I'm looking at the Spyder. Right now I have a Can Am X-3 side by side. We can use them on the road here with a turn signal/ horn kit. They have the same engine except the X-3 is a turbo with 195 horsepower. (Yes, it's very fast) I wonder if the Spyder can have a turbo?
BRP did make a Spyder F3 Turbo, but it was a 'One Only' for marketing purposes. I suppose it demonstrates it can be done, but for the average guy, it would be a big expensive task. Cheers Mike
MORE INFORMATION - I was informed late today (19th Feb) by a person smarter than I who has more knowledge of the Australian Design Rules (ADR’s) The reason our Aussie 2020 Canam Spyder RT’s don’t have the blinkers in the mudguards, instead opting for the side mirror indicators. The regulators don’t allow indicators on/in moving parts, aka the mudguard, which turns. You could argue the merits of that to the cows come home. I find it interesting and a little bewildering. Just a note: This is not a BRP issue, just our nanny country we call Australia.
man this is interesting, Bob from NZ here I bought 2020 RTL 3 months ago dealer could only get left side mudguard blinker to work so disconnected it to comply the bike and ordered another light from BRP it turned up an it didn't work either so has re ordered it again. I have also added floor board lights and front mudguard lights where the reflectors sit from slingmods.com. Cheers Bob.
Thanks Bob. This may interest you, a fellow in Victoria purchased his 2020 RT LTD and it mistakenly came with one mudguard blinker. He went the other way and ordered an additional blinker. In his case both mudguard blinkers work now and it looks good. Bob...do the NZ RT's come with or without the side mirror indicators? Cheers
@@RoundTheKorner yes mine has the mirror indicators but only left side mudguard indicator but will wait and see what dealer comes up with for right side I cant see why we didn't get the high level light in top case or the ones in the front as makes the bike more visible.
The 79t versus 89t rear pulley is a big topic here in the USA. It CANNOT be switched. Entirely different ECU/BUDS system will not allow it. BRP doesn't/will not offer a solution to the switch.
Hi Jeff Thanks for the info. The electronics has obviously been manipulated for our Spyders down here. It would be interesting to see them side by side. Cheers Mike
YES this statement is absolutely true. I am one of those people that want and have tried the 79t version for me 0 to 60 is all I drive but at least I have comfort
Hi Mal. There are no working indicators on the Aussie 2020 RT front mudguards. If there are on other models...happy days 👍 If I misunderstood what you said, let me know
Hello! My Spyder RT 2020 i have not the blinkers in my mirror but i would like to have. how much does cost in Australien. here in Sweden it would cost aound in your AUD 1159,75 Dollar in Swe money 8 000 KR
Hi Tony from Australia. I haven't priced the side mirrors, I don't have that information. If you go down that path I suggest you research that the wiring exists to connect the mirrors before your spend your money. Good luck. Cheers
Hello from Northern Virginia USA! I wish we had the turn signal on the rearview mirror option. I uploaded a short clip here showing the front fender lights here: th-cam.com/video/d-K19HssqpQ/w-d-xo.html I say the more lights the better. I want to add the foot running board lights. Bright white while moving and flashes amber when signaling. If you can, could you find out the part # for the rearview mirrors from a dealer and post?
@@RoundTheKorner Hello again! Just watched another video from our Australian Spyder Riders the other day and can't help but be envious of the turn signals in the rearview mirrors. Any luck with part numbers?
@@spyderingwithdandenise7064 My apologies Dan...I did ask the question from the dealer, but didn't get a response. I also didn't follow it up...sorry. I'll do my best to find out. Just be aware, even with the part number, it could be a big job to install...maybe not, but there is that chance 👍
Hi Dan. I approached the dealer again today (26 May 21) to find the part number. For us there are international and Australian part numbers. I'm hoping to get a response soon. Cheers
Hi Dan. Here's some part numbers for you. Please double check with whomever you order parts with and confirm the numbers correlate with the parts and your expectations.

My 2015 RT has turn signals on the mirrors. I'm in Florida, USA.
Thankyou. Yes...the pre 2020 model RT’s had the mirror indicators. For some reason the new design RT’s didn’t get the mirror turn signals in the US, Canada, Europe and a few other countries.
ADRs specify a max and min indicator height (off the road).
2016 F3 in Oz also has a different rear cog. A mate ordered a belt for his from the USA and it didn't fit. It was a different length.
Cheers...the different size cog wasn’t/isn’t a well known fact. It would be easy to think the belt from the US would be the same as ours 👍
The Rykers are different to.. we have indicator fitted front and back as well as front LED running lights.. Tez WA
Thanks Terry for the info 👍
Stupid regulations
Can you post a part number for those side mirrors I like the turn signals in there
I too would like to know part numbers for those rearview mirror housing turn signals.
