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, roadside repairs and instructing
others.
If you want to view and/or print an extra copy of your Operator's Guide, simply visit the following website www.
operatorsguide.brp.com.
The informations contained in this document are correct at the time of publication. BRP, however, maintains a policy of continuous improvement of its
products without imposing upon itself
any obligation to install them on products previously manufactured. Due
to late changes, some differences between the manufactured product and
the descriptions and/or specificatio
in this guide may occur. BRP reserves
the right at any time to discontinue or
change specifications, designs, fe
tures, models or equipment without
incurring any obligation upon itself.

Refer to Other Sources of
Information
In addition to reading this Operator's
Guide, you should read the Safety Card
on the vehicle and watch the
DVD
video.
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 ven-
tilated 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 exhaustcan 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 system 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 or steering.
See your authorized Can-Am roadster
dealer for available accessories for
your vehicle.

PRIMARY CONTROLS
Many controls are similarto the controls of a motorcycle, but some controls are different. It is important to know the location and operation of all controls, and to develop and practice smooth and coordinated use of them.

PRIMARY CONTROLS
1) Handlebar
Grip the handlebar with both hands.
Steer the handlebar in the direction
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).
rmo2010-001-031_g
TO INCREASE SPEED
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.
3) Clutch Lever
(SM5 Model)
The clutch lever is in front of the left
handgrip. The clutch controls the
transmission of power from the engine to the rear wheel. The lever is
squeezed in to disengage power and
eased out to engage power.
To decrease engine speed, roll the
throttle as shown (raise your wrist).
rmo2010-001-031_j
TO DECREASE SPEED
The throttle is spring loaded and should
return to idle when you release your
grip.
Clutch Lever Position Adjustment
The distance between the clutch lever
and handgrip can be adjusted from position1 (greatest distance) to position 4
(smallest distance).
1.Pushtheclutchleverforwardtorelease 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.

5) Gearshift Selector
(SE5 Model)
The gearshift selector is below the left

4) Gearshift Lever
(SM5 Model)
The gearshift lever is in front of the left
footrest.
The gear pattern is Reverse-1- Neutral-2-3-4-5.
rmo2010-001-034_a
Lift up or press down fully to move sequentially from one gear to the next.
When the lever is released, it returns
to center where the mechanism resets

To shift through multiple gears, use the
selector multiple times.
To shift into neutral from first gear or

When the gearshift selector is r
eleased, the mechanism resets for the
next shift UP or DOWN.

PRIMARY CONTROLS
If operator does not downshift when
slowing down and engine RPM drops
below a threshold value, the gearbox
will automatically downshift to the
next available gear.
If the engine is started with gearbox in
gear, it will automatically shift to neutral position.
NOTE: When a trailer is towed, the
trailer mode must be activated to adapt
the gear changes. Refer to
THE TRAILER MODE
NOTICE
If the trailer mode is not
