About this Operator's
Guide
This Operator's Guide was written in
North America in a right-lane driving
environment. Please adapt your application of these maneuvers to your
jurisdiction and rules of the road.
In this Operator's Guide, the word
motorcycle typically refers to a
two-wheeled motorcycle.
Keep this Operator's Guide in the front
storage compartment so that you can
refer to it for things such as maintenance, troubleshooting and instructing
others.

If possible, take a training course
that is specifically designed for the
Spyder roadster. Check our website
at www.can-am.brp.com for more
information about upcoming training
course availability. If you cannot take
a training course specifically designed
for the Spyder roadster, it is a good idea
to take a motorcycle training course,
since some of the skills required are
similar and information about managing risk on the road is taught and
similarly applies to riding your Spyder
roadster.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid Carbon Monoxide
Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headaches,
dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion and eventually death.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that may be present
even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon
monoxide can collect rapidly, and you
can quickly be overcome and unable
to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of
carbon monoxide can linger for hours
or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated
areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning,
leave the area immediately, get fresh
air and seek medical treatment.
To prevent serious injury or death from
carbon monoxide:
– Never run the vehicle in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed areas
such as garages, carports or barns.
Even if you try to ventilate engine
exhaust with fans or open windows
and doors, carbon monoxide can
rapidly reach dangerous levels.
– Never run the vehicle outdoors
where engine exhaust can be drawn
into a building through openings
such as windows and doors.
Avoid Gasoline Fires and
Other Hazards
Gasoline is extremely flammable and
highly explosive. Fuel vapors can
spread and be ignited by a spark or
flame many feet away from the engine. To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, follow these instructions:
– Refuel outdoors in a well ventilated
area away from flames, sparks, lit
cigarettes and other sources of ignition.
– Never add fuel with engine running.
– Never top off the fuel tank. Leave
some room for the fuel to expand
with temperature changes.
– Wipe up any spilled fuel.
– Never start or operate the engine
with the fuel cap removed.
– Use only an approved red gasoline
container to store fuel.
– Do not carry gasoline containers in
the front storage compartment or
anywhere else on the vehicle.
Gasoline is poisonous and can cause
injury or death.
– Never siphon gasoline by mouth.
– If you swallow gasoline, get any in
your eye or inhale gasoline vapor,
see your doctor immediately.
If gasoline spills on you, wash with
soap and water and change your
clothes.
Avoid Burns from Hot Parts
The exhaust, oil and cooling systems,
and engine become hot during operation. Avoid contact during and shortly
after operation to avoid burns.
Accessories and
Modifications
Do not make unauthorized modifications, or use attachments or accessories that are not approved by BRP.
Since these changes have not been
tested by BRP, they may increase the
risk of crashes on the road or injuries,
and they can make the vehicle illegal
for use on the road.
Unlike most motorcycles, the Spyder
roadster is equipped with a Vehicle Stability System (VSS), which is calibrated
for the vehicle normal configuration.
VSS may not function properly if the
vehicle is modified, such as changing
weight distribution, wheelbase, tires,
suspension, brakes or steering.
See your authorized Can-Am roadster
dealer for available accessories for
your vehicle.

you want to go.
2) Throttle
The throttle is the right handgrip, and it
controls engine speed. To increase engine speed, roll the throttle as shown
(lower your wrist).

PRIMARY CONTROLS
To decrease engine speed, roll the
throttle as shown (raise your wrist).
Clutch Lever Position Adjustment
The distance between the clutch lever
and handgrip can be adjusted from position 1 (greatest distance) to position 4
(smallest distance).
1. Push the clutch lever forward to release the adjuster dial. Hold in position.
2. Turn the adjuster dial to the desired
position aligning the dial number
with the dot on the lever.
3. Release the clutch lever.
rmo2010-001-031_j
TO DECREASE SPEED
The throttle is spring loaded and should
return to idle when you release your
grip.
NOTE: This vehicle is equipped with
an ETC (Electronic Throttle Control).
The throttle plates in the throttle body
are controlled electronically and can be
opened or closed irrespective of the
throttle twist grip position when necessary. It may happen that when you
accelerate, the VSS (Vehicle Stability
System) prevents engine acceleration
in order to maintain vehicle stability.
Then, when the vehicle is stabilized,
the engine RPM would increase as requested if the throttle was maintained.
This would be felt as a "delayed" acceleration.

Operation During Break-In
A break-in period of 1 000 km (600 mi)
is required for the vehicle.
During the first 300 km (200 mi), avoid
hard braking.
______________
BASIC PROCEDURES
WARNING
New brakes and tires do not operate at their maximum efficiency
until their break-in is completed.
Braking, steering and VSS performance may be reduced, so use extra caution. Brakes and tires take
about 300 km (200 mi) of riding
with frequent braking and steering
to break-in. For riding with infrequent braking and steering, allow
extra time to break-in the brakes
and tires.
During the first 1 000 km (600 mi):
– Avoid full throttle acceleration.
– Avoid prolonged riding maintaining
constant RPM.
– If the cooling fans operate continuously during stop and go traffic, pull
over and shut off the engine to let it
cool off or speed up to let air cool off
the engine.
After the break-in period, your vehicle
should be inspected as per the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE.
Fueling
Fuel Requirements
NOTICE Always use fresh gasoline. Gasoline will oxidize; the result is loss of octane, volatile compounds, and the production of gum
and varnish deposits which can
damage the fuel system.
Alcohol fuel blending varies by country and region. Your vehicle has been
designed to operate using the recommended fuels, however, be aware of
the following:
– Use of fuel containing alcohol above
the percentage specified by government regulations is not recommended and can result in the following problems in the fuel system
components:
• Starting and operating difficulties.
• Deterioration of rubber or plastic
parts.
• Corrosion of metal parts.
• Damage to internal engine parts.
– Inspect frequently for the presence
of fuel leaks or other fuel system
abnormalities if you suspect the
presence of alcohol in gasoline exceeds the current government regulations.
– Alcohol blended fuels attract and
hold moisture which may lead to
fuel phase separation and can result
in engine performance problems or
engine damage.
Recommended Fuel
Use premium unleaded gasoline with
an AKI (RON+MON)/2 octane rating of
91, or an RON octane rating of 95.
NOTICE Never experiment with
other fuels. Engine or fuel system
damages may occur with the use of
an inadequate fuel.
NOTICE Do NOT use fuel from fuel
pumps labeled E85.
Use of fuel labeled E15 is prohibited by
U.S. EPA Regulations.

BASIC PROCEDURES
Refueling Procedure
WARNING
Gasoline is extremely flammable
and highly explosive. Follow the
refueling procedure to reduce the
risk of fire or explosion. See the
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS section.
To refuel the vehicle:
1. Park outdoors in a well ventilated
area away from flames, sparks, anyone smoking and other sources of
ignition.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Unlatch and lift seat (see EQUIPMENT). The fuel cap is located on
the left side.
rmo2016-006-001_a
1. Fuel cap
4. Slowly rotate cap counterclockwise
and remove it.
5. Fill the tank until the fuel level
reaches the higher point of the filler
tube.
NOTE: Do not try to top off the fuel
tank. Leave some room for the fuel to
expand with temperature changes.
6. Wipe up any spilled fuel. If fuel spills
on you, wash with soap and water
and change your clothes.
7. Put cap on and fully tighten clockwise until you hear a click. Never
start or operate the engine with the
fuel cap removed.
8. Close seat.
Adjusting Suspension
ACS Rear Suspension Adjustment
(with Manual Adjustment)
The rear air suspension is pressurized
for general operation. If the vehicle
load changes (adding a passenger, riding with more cargo etc.) or if a softer
or a harder setting is desired, the pressure of the rear suspension can be
changed to your preferences.
The suspension pressure is adjustable
by deflating or inflating the air spring.
Use an air compressor (from a gas station) and a pressure gauge.
To soften suspension, reduce the air
pressure and to harden suspension,
increase air pressure.
NOTE: The following chart is a guideline only. You may adjust the pressure
to your riding preference as long as you
do not exceed the maximum allowed
pressure.
NOTICE Do not exceed the maximum allowed pressure. This might
damage the air suspension.

ACS Rear Suspension Adjustment
(with Automatic Adjustment)
Adjustment Guidelines
The rear suspension is calibrated for a
general riding and will adjust automatically, using an integrated compressor,
while riding to maintain this preset
when the road conditions change or if
the vehicle load changes (adding a passenger, riding with more cargo etc.).
NOTE: It is normal to hear pressure release or the air compressor operating
while engine is running. It indicates
the suspension is self-adjusting.
An audio player such as a CD player,
iPod mobile digital device or an MP3
player can be connected in this jack to
be played through the audio system.
The iPod mobile digital device can be
partially controlled through the RECC.
The front USB port must be used to
run the BRP Connect app. Refer to
GAUGE section for complete information.
NOTE: An adapter (optional on some
models) is required to connect the audio player to the vehicle audio jack.
The USB port located inside the top
case (on applicable models) is only
used to charge a smartphone. No data
is transferred through the rear USB
port.
