General Information About The Can-Am Spyder

Picture
The motorcycle at the top of the food chain the Can-Am Spyder was first released in 2007 and ever since then has been a growing phenomenon, with its superior technology and its up to date performance features it makes it one of the most reliable motorcycles on the road.
First lets talk about the chassis it has been designed so that the the Can-Am's engine is mounted behind the front wheels of the Can-Am’s Surrounding Spar Technology (SST) frame. The Can-Am Spyder is built from steel and is designed into a Y Shape. At the back of the chassis sits a 44 Litre fuel tank to get you to from point A to B. The lightness and design of the frame also gives it that low comfortable feel that you are cutting through the road but also due to its design it gives you the enhancement of stability and handling.

The electronics that are fitted into the Can-Am Spyder are top of the range equipment. One of these are the wheel speed sensors that are used to monitor the acceleration, stability and speed of the Can-Am Spyder so that it prevents the rider from loosing control of the motorcycle. It works by when the sensors detect an abnormality in the wheel speed parameter it will first work by reducing the engine power therefore reducing the speed of the Can-Am Spyder but if this fails it will than work towards applying the brake to any or even all of the wheels on the motorcycles, this wheel continue until the speed is returned within the giving range. This feature is never turned off even when the Can-Am Spyder is off or on therefore the feature can never be disabled or over round like in many other vehicles both cars and motorcycles.

The 3 wheel feels give the rider the feel of a motorcycle but the feel and safety of a car. Wit the wind blowing through your hair as you drive through the mountain tops, the beach or even the inner city both the rider or passenger are able to feel stable about were they are driving. The Can-Am Spyder also allows you to put your full control on the road and relieves your other sensors of the worries that you are going to be unbalanced and fall of to the side, it allows you to appreciate more of the little things in life that you never take notice on if you were riding a normal 2 wheeled motorcycle.
The controls on the Can-Am Spyder are similar to that of a motorcycle the throttle is located on the right handle, with also the engine run switch and the start bottom on the right hand side as well. The front break of the Can-Am is located on the right side near the foot it is a lever that produces this action. On the left side handle the turn signals, the horn, headlights and the high beams are all located on this side of the handle bars.

With the automatic Can-Am Spyder it is very easy to start all it takes is just a click of the start switch and the bike starts as such with the manual it requires a little bit extra with the pumping of the fuel and the push of the lever and sometimes a rolling start which is still reasonably easy.
The Can-Am Spyder has a 991 V-Twin DOHC engine which consist of 2 cylinders with 8 valves 4 in one and 4 in another. The Can-Am Spyder redlines at 9000rpm the power is transferred quickly to wheels of the Can-Am speeding it up quickly but smoothly but obviously you are not going to win a race against any 2 wheeled fast racing motorcycles like a Yamaha R1 which are designed to race.
