January 13th-15th At The Edmonton Expo Center Insider Scoop: Courtney Klapwijk West Edmonton Spyder Specialist Hello! My name is Courtney Klapwijk and Spyder is my passion! Usually at this time of year I’m out enjoying my sled and waiting for the streets to dry up, but this has been an unusual winter. My riding buddy, “Spyder” Ian and I went for a nice tour this past Sunday (Jan 8), and even in the +8 sunshine the RT’s hand warmers and big windshield were great features to have! Hard to believe that this is already the 5th model year for Spyder! This year sees Can-Am refine the handling, add some fantastic color options and improve on some of the already great features, including the multi function display which has been changed to an amber color to increase contrast for night riding. Standard on all models since 2008 are proven safety features including Traction Control, Stability Control, ABS brakes, Power Steering and the D.E.S.S security system. BRP worked with Bosch to design the stability and traction control which incorporates 6 sensors monitored 25 times per second to quickly react and help the rider stay out of trouble. The 3 wheel stance, which is inherently stable, combined with the comprehensive list of safety features enables all riders from novice to experienced to feel comfortable and safe almost immediately. BRP is known for innovation, and true-to-form, another ground-breaking feature which exponentially increases ease of riding is the available SE5 or Semi-Automatic transmission which is like the paddle shift on a car. One touch with your thumb and it automatically shifts up a gear, and one touch with your index finger and the transmission drops a gear. The Spyder will also automatically downshift at 2500 RPM so you don’t have to when coming up to a stop sign or red light. The Spyder RS (Roadster Sport) is aimed at the rider who is looking for a blend of performance and safety. Its eye catching, sporty styling hints at the potential waiting with the twist of the throttle. With a 998cc Rotax engine producing 106 HP and 0-60 MPH in 4.5 seconds the RS delivers incredible acceleration, handling in corners that comes close to a sport bike and a beautiful exhaust sound from the big V-twin! It’s tough not to smile when rolling on the throttle coming out of a corner! For 2012 the RS is available in a brilliant Pearl White with black accents or the sexy new Steel Black Metallic. In the RS-S package there are two new colour choices, Neutron Green Metallic/Black and Can-Am Red/Black, and carried over from last year is the popular Pure Magnesium Metallic/Black colour combination. The RS-S is the upgraded sport model with Fox Podium Racing Shocks, two tone paint, custom seat, carbon black aluminum parts and black dual spoke wheels. For true luxury riding there is nothing like the Spyder RT (Roadster Touring). The RT has several trim levels with options not available on a traditional motorcycle. With 155 liters of storage there is ample room to put rain gear, extra clothes, water, and anything else your friends on two wheels can’t carry on their bike! The 2012 Spyder RT lineup has added a couple of gorgeous colour options including a new lighter blue called Quantum Blue Metallic and the exclusive RT Limited color, Lava Bronze Metallic, which is a very rich dark brown. The Spyder RT is packed with luxury features including stereo with iPod connection, cruise control, hand warmers, power windshield, ultra comfort touring seat, and an available on-board air compressor so that you can adjust the air ride suspension while driving! Can-Am has a full line of accessories available from riding gear, chrome parts, communication systems and removable storage bags. For a longer adventure, or if you don’t like to pack light, BRP offers the only factory trailer with a whopping 622 liters of storage! To put it in perspective there is enough room for two sets of golf clubs and two medium sized suitcases! I would like to invite everyone to come down and visit us at the Edmonton Motorcycle (and Spyder) Show at the Edmonton Expo Center/Northlands this Friday, January 13 through Sunday, January 15. And as always, please call Martin Motor Sports West or South locations if you have any questions. See you on the road!

When Simmons first developed the original Flexi-Ski, it basically fit a criterion for snowmobiling that had not yet been met. It added flotation, absolutely tracked true down the trail and cornered like you were riding on rails. The ski is designed to flex through bumps and ruts, absorbing the shock normally taken by your arms and legs. The bottom of the ski has a wear bar on each side allowing the ski to carve its own path, eliminating darting. The design of snowmobiles evolved. Engines became bigger and more powerful…and as a result, sleds became heavier. There was less floatation in the deep powder snow because the sled’s weight made you sink. As an answer to this problem, Simmons developed the Gen II. At 10 inches wide and still incorporating the patented Flexi-Ski design, the Gen II was an amazing stable platform offering the ultimate in flotation. The snowmobile industry also answered the heaviness issue. Sleds became more “rider position forward,” meaning more weight over the skis. There is an effort to make all sleds lighter now, and Simmons could see a need for a ski in-between the original and the Gen II. And thus, the 8 inch wide Gen III Flexi-Ski was developed and thoroughly tested to generate an amazing riding experience, where you’ll find remarkable control while side-hilling and sharper, easier turning. These industry leading skis are in-stock and available at both our West and South Edmonton locations! Stop in for details. Tech Tip Of The Month: On-Road Maintenance! Alright this month we are talking Spyders. No I don’t mean the creepy crawly eight legged arachnids, I’m talking about the SLEEK, SEXY, THREE WHEELED SPEED MACHINES by BRP. I know what you are thinking, “it’s the middle of winter, why would we talk about motorcycle maintenance?” I don’t know about you, but when I look outside and see no snow, I want to hop on one and go for a ride. The first thing you are probably thinking is, “are you crazy, it’s -20 outside?” That’s no big deal, bring that unit in and we will gladly wire in a plug for your heated vest to keep you toasty warm on those chilly rides even in the fall. If you choose not to ride in the cold and you have your toy tucked away for the winter months here are some recommendations to ensure that you have no troubles come springtime when you want to get back on it and go. Batteries require maintenance when sitting for long periods of time. It’s recommended to put a slow trickle charge on it every three weeks to a month. Back in the day, you used to have to go through the hassle of pulling your battery out and taking it in to get charged, nowadays there are chargers that you can basically hardwire to your battery and plug and play when you need it. Tire pressure is very important when it comes to sitting for extended periods of time. Make sure your tire pressures are up to spec and I would recommend putting some cardboard or carpet under the tires to keep them off the cold concrete. Low tire pressures + Cold concrete = Flat spots. Wheel alignment is extremely critical when you are flying through those sweepers at Mach 1 on your dream machine. Bring it in and we will make sure that those fancy rims are pointing true. Proper wheel alignment also ensures even wear on the treads of the tires, resulting in longer lasting life. That precious fuel that we are all paying ridiculous amounts for nowadays can go bad due to moisture. Spend the few dollars for a bottle of fuel stabilizer and keep it fresh for that long awaited ride to come. It doesn’t take a lot to save a lot. Oil change! If you haven’t done so already, make sure you do it before you go for a ride come springtime. Oil is as essential to an engine’s life as water is to a human. Preventative maintenance is much more cost effective than the outcome. If you are like me, and find that drivers on the road seem to think you are invisible, make it known that you are there with the GROWL of an exhaust by Can-Am/Hindle. The nice rumble at cruising speeds will let those drivers know that there is something around them that means business. Everyone seems to be going with the bright HID headlights for their vehicles nowadays for better visibility. Great news for you Spyder owners, you can get them too and really light up your path of terror, allowing you to ride 24hrs a day with no worries of it ever being too dark to see. If you are rocking the sport model Spyder but find you need some extra carrying ability without trading in for the RT model, there are a magnitude of options for you. There are side saddlebags that you can add on as well as rear rack bags, or even a tank bag if it suits your fancy. So let the countdown begin until the balmy temperatures return so we can all get back out on the streets and rule them! Martin Motorsports www.martinmotorsports.ca Click here for store hours and map.
