What fits in the glove box of a Can-Am Spyder?

Before buying my 2023 Can-Am Spyder RT Limited I watched countless KZbin videos and read every article I could find on the topic. All were very helpful.
When it came to storage for the Can-Am Spyder, there were plenty of photos and videos showing the frunk, the side cases and the top case (rear trunk.) But not much on the glove box.
Here’s an up close look at how much you can cram into the glove box of a Can-Am Spyder RT Limited.
This channel chronicles my adventures as a minimalist on a 2023 Can-Am Spyder RT Limited, my only conveyance. We’ll go on a great adventures, near and far from my home base in Niagara Falls, NY, as well as jaunts to the grocery store and other mundane errands. We’ll also discuss accessories and gear for the Can-Am Spyder.
I usually wear a Tourmaster Transition 4 jacket, a Scorpion EXO-AT950 helmet, and either Klim Baja gloves or Joe Rocket Windchill gloves. I use a GoPro Hero 10 camera and a Purple Panda mic, and I edit video with iMovie with an iPad Pro.

Couple tips. First, the glove box compartment gets very hot in the summer, from engine heat. Just be careful with what you put in there. Second, checking the air on the rear tire will become very annoying, and if you get sufficiently annoyed, you might want to check out FOBO BIKE 2 TPMS for TRIKES, it monitors tire pressures and tire temperatures.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

Great tips! The chap stick might liquify and I will look into the tire pressure system.

[@williamblake5208]

I have FOBO and like them

As a relatively new Spyder owner, I'm glad that I found your channel. You're very articulate and as someone who's never been to Niagara Falls, I enjoy your videos of the area. Look forward to your other adventures. My wife wishes I were a minimalist, but that's never going to happen!

[@SpyderChrisYT]

I’m glad you found my channel as well. Thanks for watching! Minimalism isn’t for everyone.

I love the built-in maps from the BRP go app. So I would want to be able to keep my phone in there. Although when using the app the charging from the bike doesn't keep up with the discharging on the phone.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

But are the BRP Go maps as good as Google or Apple Maps? I like the fact I have Google maps, and other apps, at hand.

I own a 2016 F3 SM6 Chris ... Love your channel I just subscribed 👍 Beanie

[@SpyderChrisYT]

Thank you!

[@BEANIEMOTO]

@@SpyderChrisYT Cheers mate 👍

Springfield Hellcat 9mm fits nicely in my 2015 RTL.

You will love those alpine earlugs. I did a review over a year ago on various earplugs and they are on my top choice. Amazing difference when you need it. Also, the glovebox can get hot so be aware of that. Thanks for the video - ride safe!

[@SpyderChrisYT]

Thank you! I’m hoping to try them on the highway next week.

First off the F3 glovebox is larger. Second when these bike were being designed they were going on the current smartphone size and when the bikes go into production smartphones changed and it would be quite impossible to change what is already designed. Only if it’s pouring would I put my phone inside. I mount the phone on top so it gets air flow to keep it cool. I’ve learned that the vibration in the handlebars can do damage especially to the camera part. This was learned while riding Goldwings which are one of the smoothest bikes but things vibrated loose.

[@Astartes1000-h7m]

You're not a motorcyclist until you have left behind atleast 10 of those caps SM. Legend has it 15 of mine are still waiting on my return like a 7th grader waiting on her parents that forgot to pick her up from band practice. 🤣👍🏿

[@SpyderChrisYT]

Funny!

[@troy9er]

As you probably remember I have an 2021, F3S it has no glove box and the f-3S and the basic f-3 has a traditional gas fill location like other motorcycles.

[@georgebrzeczka3554]

Turn your wheel to the left lock your wheels and it'll lock you glovebox at the same time. The box gets very warm.Be careful what you put in there The wires cannot be removed. One is for your phone to update your computer. And download Maps. The other one is like an MP3 player.

[@piratepete117]

On your stem valves. Make sure you put anti seize on the threads of caps. I would get some permatex copper anti seize.you can get this most any box store or hardware or automotive store. Plus it's cheep. Over time the will get corrosion and weld them to them selves to the stems. Makes it hard to get off. Happy riding. Good videos nice to see a part of the country I haven't seen.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

I never heard of that so thanks for the tip!

[@Senegal01]

I bought the mini door opener and velco it in the glove box alone with my tway pass velcoed in the glove box.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

Great idea!

[@mum-0217]

Looking forward to the Eclipse ride out, it should be quite cool. I don't like those extra cables in your clove box taking up room they should be hidden else where if possible. You have to be a bit careful with those metal valve caps as I fitted some to my Car a few years ago. They looked good but after a while they fused them selves to the valve steam and were quite difficult to remove so I went back to plastic ones.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

Oh, no, I hope they improved them since then. Getting to the valve cap is difficult enough without it sticking to the stem.

[@Misbehaven99]

Hey there, just an FYI.. BRP will replace the seat shock under warranty.. i was just living with it, but my Spyder maintenance centre noticed it and just replaced it with a new one.. (I’d learned to live with it so didn’t mention it) Works perfectly now.. let’s see for how long :-) I’m now having the same issue with the Back Trunk, I have to hold it open, wont just stay open anymore.. so will mentioned it on my next service.. let’s see if they replace that shock under warranty too??..

[@SpyderChrisYT]

Watch for the video I post at Noon on Friday.

[@RobS-z5u]

I have my phone, spare sunglasses and garage door opener in mine. If you aren’t using the cables how are you charging your phone for long rides?

[@SpyderChrisYT]

I’m having a USB/12V charger installed in a couple of weeks. USB will charge my phone, mounted on a Quad Lock mount, and 12V is for my portable air compressor. Until then, I use the phone sparingly.

[@keithert]

@SpyderMinimalist I don't think phones are bright enough to see on the road. On other bikes I do use a Garmin Zumo XT. It works well but I don't want to have to get another hookup for this bike.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

I’ve thought about the Zumo. Maybe some day.

[@n6dl321]

my Helios gloves and a 4in crescent wrench

[@magnusb6311]

Enjoyed the video. The glove box is too small and those cables are annoying.

[@ES44AC-2]

I only have my Sunglasses and a garage door opener in my glove box. I use a Harley Davidson style valve stem extender on that rear tire when i fill or check the air. I store it in the frunk. I don't know why a bone headed engineer put the valve stem on the sprocket side 🤦.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

I just shot a video using a tire stem valve extension. Posting it soon.

[@SpyderRichard]

I keep my android phone and an old ipod in my glove box. That's it. The rest of my riding necessities are in the trunk or one of the side bags.

[@RideBlessed]

Hey @SpyderMinimalist, you get hit by the quake?! Hope all is well with you.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

No quake in Niagara Falls that I know of. I’ll have to check the news but I didn’t feel anything.

[@eddcurry501]

I keep NOTHING in my glove box except maybe ear plugs, sunglasses, -my garage opener, house key, -certainly nothing effected by heat. Spare wallet maybe on trips.

[@Misbehaven99]

DO NOT leave anything flammable in that Glove box.. Hand Sanitizer is a real no no.. lol.. it gets hot in there.. Anything you’re putting in that box, needs to be heat rated.. lol..

[@tridentyyz]

My bike is the exact opposite of this bike, it's naked and has absolutely no place to put anything. As for future adventures to go on, Friday, September 13, 2024, Port Dover, Ontario, Canada. Largest 1 day bike rally.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

Thanks for info on the rally.

[@charleyhough4355]

C4YT = Comment For KZbin

[@georgebrzeczka3554]

Go back. To the dealer it's under warranty five years

[@mattb3283]

Umm Weed???

[@scottmchale6200]

You do have a lot of stuff in that glove box lol 😂
