Can-Am Spyder RT POWER PORT Installation - New Version

In this video I install a power port that has both USB-A and 20 watt USB-C Power Delivery (PD). I also replaced the rusty handle bar bolts and install the RAM Ball Mount. Thank you for watching! #canamspyder

That wire grabber puller thingy is very handy. I was going to say "more power to you brother" ... but that was the point of this video 😁👍👍

[@Y-DER]

I see what you did there… The grabber device has saved my butt a few times.

[@PurpleOnThree]

That little camera/light does a great job with showing detail!

[@Y-DER]

Endoscope for the win!

[@regoxtoby2059]

Nice job, good video, the only thing I might add is a fuse if there isn't one on the wire you tapped into.

[@Y-DER]

Good idea. I will look into that. Thank you.

[@BeanieBoyMoto]

Great Tutorial Brother ... Lookin forward to your next ryde 👍😎🤙

[@Y-DER]

Thanks Beanie!

[@BeanieBoyMoto]

@@Y-DER Cheers mate 👍

[@PurpleOnThree]

Blue lights and power! Woo hoo!

[@duranmona]

I wish was not scared to do this myself you made look so easy. Thank you...

[@Y-DER]

It is easy not be scared with as little as I have invested in it. I couldn’t imagine if I had paid full price for the Spyder. Thank you for watching and the comment!

[@duranmona]

I just purchased a spyder 2014 I want to install a CarPlay but installing it myself 🤔 I might have to just do it.

[@Y-DER]

@@duranmona It really wasn't that bad all said and done. The worst part was getting the power to it. The ball mount for the unit I found on Amazon made attaching it a breeze. The update video shows a different way to route the power.

[@duranmona]

@@Y-DER which is your updated video?

Ohh man there is nothing better than a clean install! I have the same dilemma with my F3T but i dint have any knockouts near the bars for an install like this and i can’t stand a cluttered handlebar. I wound up drilling a hole in the glovebox up top and fishing a USB cable to the bars and ran it parallel to the factory wires and velcro wrapped it in place if i need it. It does work but i sometimes get usb malfunction messages on the dash which sucks. The new bolts definitely tidy things up but buddy please take them out and put some blue thread lock on better safe than sorry. I think this video is in first place for least amount of plastic removed so far for you. Good idea using the accessory circuit no fuses and switched power so glad BRP includes them on all the trikes. Looking forward to that carplay install as I’m on the fence between nothing , carplay adapter or getting a new F3 . You might be the deciding factor between 200 bucks or 27,000 bucks.

[@Y-DER]

I just filmed the CarPlay episode. It came early and I’m thinking sales of 2024’s may suffer after this one… 😬 I just ordered the Loctite. Good suggestion.

[@SIRyker]

@@Y-DER im sure it will be better than my next mod video lol. I just got new floorboards delivered should take 10 min to install so it will take me 2 hours lol. I’m so on the fence I love it in my car but don’t see myself needing it on my trike. Never had a problem with music and have the garmen zumo xt for navigation which i hardly use. So let’s see if you sway me lol. Looking forward to it.

[@chrisdavey6696]

good video well done. so much better toenjoy with the music tred down👍

[@Y-DER]

Thank you!

[@guzzialfa]

My back hurts just watching you in the video! Ah, youth. 😅

[@Y-DER]

Something I don’t hear too often. Thank I you. My back usually hurts for a week or so after every video

[@guzzialfa]

@Y-DER Was gonna hit like but thought sorry to hear would be better.

[@Y-DER]

@guzzialfa I think “like” translates to that, but thank you. Having back problems made it an easy decision to buy the Spyder. It’s all worth it too!

[@guzzialfa]

@Y-DER You & me both. Spinal cord stimulator for pain mgmt and winter before I bought my '23 I had a total right hip replacement..1st my dealer taught me how to mount a Spyder (passenger pegs and seat then slide forward, then the Can-Am Experience leader wouldn't even let me test a Ryker..she'd had several injuries and metal so she said, with your back - not even gonna let you try it. I was sold right then and there but still did 2 rides, 3 if you count 10 minutes on an F3.

[@Y-DER]

@guzzialfa welcome to the channel and our little community

[@PurpleOnThree]

You are getting pretty speedy at that plastic removal!

[@Y-DER]

Becoming a real pro.. lol

[@PurpleOnThree]

there you go!@@Y-DER

[@RideBlessed]

Nicely done! Great video thanks for sharing this. I wonder, should you have used loktite on the bolts? Liking and subscribing a fellow vlogger. Ride safe.

[@Y-DER]

A good friend called me after watching and said the same thing before I could even say hello… Loktite is going on before I ride next. Thank you!

[@paulcottier3742]

Great job just missing a fuse inline. Or I maybe missed that bit

[@Y-DER]

This circuit is fused in the "right" fuse box where you can move it to either constant or switched power by using #6 or #7. It is a 5 Amp fuse. You didn't miss it. I didn't know where it was until after.

[@rayhjohnson]

Great video. What did you use to find the yellow/purple wire ,was it behind the battery and do you know if it’s there on an 18 RTL. Does it have a name. Thanks in advance. Would love to have the dual usb on mine.

[@Y-DER]

I believe it is there on the 18 RTL as well. It should be just behind the little round rubber plug. I only used the inspection camera to show where it is tied down if you need more. You shouldn’t though.

[@DFWMoose]

It was not clear to me where you tapped power. It must have been on the run portion of the harness otherwise it would be on all the time so I’m assuming the purple yellow is a run wire? Great camera work as always.

[@Y-DER]

Thank you! The connector that I tapped into I believe is for adding accessory power in the frunk. The purple/yellow follows the same as the lights that stay on for a few seconds after the ignition is turned off.

[@Partzman23]

Nice job, enjoy watching you work on the Spyder. 😀 you make it look so easy. I do my own maintenance on my Spyder and I am always looking for better ways of doing things. I have learned some things just watching your videos. Thanks for sharing. 👏👍

[@PurpleOnThree]

so that's how you get a rectangular peg into a round hole! lol

[@Y-DER]

Just add razor knife!

[@PurpleOnThree]
