GENERAL PRECAUTIONSAvoid Carbon MonoxidePoisoningAll engine exhaust contains carbonmonoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing car-bon monoxide can cause headaches,dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confu-sion and eventually death.Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odor-less, tasteless gas that may be presenteven if you do not see or smell any en-gine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbonmonoxide can collect rapidly, and youcan quickly be overcome and unableto save yourself. Also, deadly levels ofcarbon monoxide can linger for hoursor days in enclosed or poorly ventilatedareas. If you experience any symp-toms of carbon monoxide poisoning,leave the area immediately, get freshair and seek medical treatment.To prevent serious injury or death fromcarbon monoxide:– Never run the vehicle in poorly ven-tilated or partially enclosed areassuch as garages, carports or barns.Even if you try to ventilate engineexhaust with fans or open windowsand doors, carbon monoxide canrapidly reach dangerous levels.– Never run the vehicle outdoorswhere engine exhaust can be drawninto a building through openingssuch as windows and doors.Avoid Gasoline Fires andOther HazardsGasoline is extremely flammable andhighly explosive. Fuel vapors canspread and be ignited by a spark orflame many feet away from the en-gine. To reduce the risk of fire or explo-sion, follow these instructions:– Refuel outdoors in a well ventilatedarea away from flames, sparks, litcigarettes and other sources of igni-tion.– Never add fuel with engine running.– Never top off the fuel tank. Leavesome room for the fuel to expandwith temperature changes.– Wipe up any spilled fuel.– Never start or operate the enginewith the fuel cap removed.– Use only an approved red gasolinecontainer to store fuel.– Do not carry gasoline containers inthe front storage compartment oranywhere else on the vehicle.Gasoline is poisonous and can causeinjury or death.– Never siphon gasoline by mouth.– If you swallow gasoline, get any inyour eye or inhale gasoline vapor,see your doctor immediately.If gasoline spills on you, wash withsoap and water and change yourclothes.Avoid Burns from Hot PartsThe exhaust, oil and cooling systems,and engine become hot during opera-tion. Avoid contact during and shortlyafter operation to avoid burns.Accessories andModificationsDo not make unauthorized modifica-tions, or use attachments or acces-sories that are not approved by BRP.Since these changes have not beentested by BRP, they may increase therisk of crashes on the road or injuries,and they can make the vehicle illegalfor use on the road.Unlike most motorcycles, the Spyderroadster is equipped with a Vehicle Sta-bility System (VSS), which is calibratedfor the vehicle normal configuration.VSS may not function properly if thevehicle is modified, such as changingweight distribution, wheelbase, tires,suspension, brakes or steering.See your authorized Can-Am roadsterdealer for available accessories foryour vehicle._______________ 9

VEHICLEINFORMATION_______________ 11

PRIMARY CONTROLSIt is important to know the location and operation of all controls, and to develop andpractice smooth and coordinated use of them.219001827-001_aTYPICAL — SM6 MODEL1Handlebar2 Throttle3Clutch Lever4Gearshift Lever6 Brake Pedal7Parking Brake Button12 ______________

PRIMARY CONTROLS219001827-002_aTYPICAL — SE6 MODEL1Handlebar2 Throttle5Gearshift Selector6 Brake Pedal7Parking Brake Button1) HandlebarGrip the handlebar with both hands.Steer the handlebar in the directionyou want to go.2) ThrottleThe throttle is the right handgrip, and itcontrols engine speed. To increase en-gine speed, roll the throttle as shown(lower your wrist). rmo2010-001-031_gTO INCREASE SPEED_______________ 13

PRIMARY CONTROLSTo decrease engine speed, roll thethrottle as shown (raise your wrist).rmo2010-001-031_jTO DECREASE SPEEDThe throttle is spring loaded and shouldreturn to idle when you release yourgrip.NOTE: This vehicle is equipped withan ETC (Electronic Throttle Control).The throttle plates in the throttle bodyare controlled electronically and can beopened or closed irrespective of thethrottle twist grip position when nec-essary. It may happen that when youaccelerate, the VSS (Vehicle StabilitySystem) prevents engine accelerationin order to maintain vehicle stability.Then, when the vehicle is stabilized,the engine RPM would increase as re-quested if the throttle was maintained.This would be felt as a "delayed" accel-eration.3) Clutch Lever(SM6 Model)The clutch lever is in front of the lefthandgrip. The clutch controls thetransmission of power from the en-gine to the rear wheel. The lever issqueezed in to disengage power andeased out to engage power.Clutch Lever Position AdjustmentThe distance between the clutch leverand handgrip can be adjusted from po-sition 1 (greatest distance) to position 4(smallest distance).1. Push the clutch lever forward to re-lease the adjuster dial. Hold in posi-tion.2. Turn the adjuster dial to the desiredposition aligning the dial numberwith the dot on the lever.3.

BASIC PROCEDURESWARNINGNew brakes and tires do not op-erate at their maximum efficiencyuntil their break-in is completed.Braking, steering and VSS perfor-mance may be reduced, so use ex-tra caution. Brakes and tires takeabout 300 km (200 mi) of ridingwith frequent braking and steeringto break-in. For riding with infre-quent braking and steering, allowextra time to break-in the brakesand tires.During the first 1 000 km (600 mi):– Avoid full throttle acceleration.– Avoid prolonged riding maintainingconstant RPM.– If the cooling fans operate continu-ously during stop and go traffic, pullover and shut off the engine to let itcool off or speed up to let air cool offthe engine.After the break-in period, your vehicleshould be inspected as per theMAIN-TENANCE SCHEDULE.FuelingFuel RequirementsNOTICE Always use fresh gaso-line. Gasoline will oxidize; the re-sult is loss of octane, volatile com-pounds, and the production of gumand varnish deposits which candamage the fuel system.Alcohol fuel blending varies by coun-try and region. Your vehicle has beendesigned to operate using the recom-mended fuels, however, be aware ofthe following:– Use of fuel containing alcohol abovethe percentage specified by gov-ernment regulations is not recom-mended and can result in the fol-lowing problems in the fuel systemcomponents:• Starting and operating difficul-ties.• Deterioration of rubber or plasticparts.• Corrosion of metal parts.• Damage to internal engine parts.– Inspect frequently for the presenceof fuel leaks or other fuel systemabnormalities if you suspect thepresence of alcohol in gasoline ex-ceeds the current government reg-ulations.– Alcohol blended fuels attract andhold moisture which may lead tofuel phase separation and can resultin engine performance problems orengine damage.Recommended FuelUse premium unleaded gasoline withan AKI (RON+MON)/2 octane rating of91, or an RON octane rating of 95.NOTICE Never experiment withother fuels. Engine or fuel systemdamages may occur with the use ofan inadequate fuel.NOTICE Do NOT use fuel from fuelpumps labeled E85.Use of fuel labeled E15 is prohibited byU.S. EPA Regulations._______________ 47

Leave some room for the fuel toexpand with temperature changes.6. Wipe up any spilled fuel. If fuel spillson you, wash with soap and waterand change your clothes.7. Put cap on and fully tighten clock-wise until you hear a click. Neverstart or operate the engine with thefuel cap removed.8. Close seat.Adjusting SuspensionACS Rear Suspension Adjustment(with Manual Adjustment)The rear air suspension is pressurizedfor general operation. If the vehicleload changes (adding a passenger, rid-ing with more cargo etc.) or if a softeror a harder setting is desired, the pres-sure of the rear suspension can bechanged to your preferences.The suspension pressure is adjustableby deflating or inflating the air spring.Use an air compressor (from a gas sta-tion) and a pressure gauge.To soften suspension, reduce the airpressure and to harden suspension,increase air pressure.NOTE: The following chart is a guide-line only. You may adjust the pressureto your riding preference as long as youdo not exceed the maximum allowedpressure.NOTICE Do not exceed the maxi-mum allowed pressure. This mightdamage the air suspension.MINIMUM PRESSURE 70 kPa / 10 Psi / 0.7 bar(PASSENGER + CARGO) Kg / Lb 704905155Kg/Lb kPa/Psi/bar kPa/Psi/bar kPa/Psi/bar kPa/Psi/bar kPa/Psi/bar450/65/4.50 515/75/5.15 550/80/5.50 585/85/5.85345/50/3.45 415/60/4.15 480/70/4.80 515/75/5.15 550/80/5.50310/45/3.10 380/55/3.80 450/65/4.50 480/70/4.80 515/75/5.1570/15070/15045/100090/20090/200115/250115/250LOADDRIVERDO NOT EXCEED RECOMMENDED PRESSURE BY 70 kPa / 10 Psi / 0.70 bar380/55/3.8070490515548 ______________

BASIC PROCEDURESNOTE: When adjusting the pressure,do not put your weight on the vehicleand do not load cargo in the storagecompartment.The air spring is connected directly toan air hose with a schrader valve lo-cated under the seat.rmo2016-006-007_b1. Schrader valveTo change the air pressure, proceedthe same way as for setting the pres-sure in a tire.When finished, ensure to reinstall capon the valve.ACS Rear Suspension Adjustment(with Automatic Adjustment)Adjustment GuidelinesThe rear suspension is calibrated for ageneral riding and will adjust automati-cally, using an integrated compressor,while riding to maintain this presetwhen the road conditions change or ifthe vehicle load changes (adding a pas-senger, riding with more cargo etc.).NOTE: It is normal to hear pressure re-lease or the air compressor operatingwhile engine is running. It indicatesthe suspension is self-adjusting.Using the Audio in JackAn audio input jack is provided in thefront storage compartment.219001827-013_a1. Audio in jack2. USB jackAn audio player such as a CD player,iPod mobile digital device or an MP3player can be connected in this jack tobe played through the audio system.The iPod mobile digital device can bepartially controlled through the RECC.The front USB port must be used torun the BRP Connect app. Refer toGAUGEsection for complete informa-tion.NOTE: An adapter (optional on somemodels) is required to connect the au-dio player to the vehicle audio jack.The USB port located inside the topcase (on applicable models) is onlyused to charge a smartphone.
