CanAm Motorcycle Troubleshooting

If you're looking for help fixing your CanAm Motorcycle, look no further! Our comprehensive CanAm Motorcycle Troubleshooting guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and show you how to read your model's error codes.

Overuse 
After enduring all the elements of riding listed above, the ignition coil is bound to wear out. 
The ignition coil’s wear and tear could damage the bond between the primary coil and the primary and secondary coil windings. 
Using the coil past the point of no return only damages it more and more, and overuse could strain other components in the process. 

Damaged spark plugs 
If your ignition coils operate at a higher output than average, then they are bound to get damaged quickly. 
This increased output may occur when your spark plugs are worn out. 
When a spark plug is wearing out, the coil is forced to produce more voltage to close this gap, and this extra strain can lead to overkill and an eventual failure. 

Failed Wiring Loom/Harness 
The wiring loom or harness is an assembly of electrical wires bound by a durable material like the rubber or electrical tape. 
It keeps wires organized and protects them against exposure to vibration, moisture, and elements. 
A failed wiring loom can cause the motorbike not to start at all. It may also cause the lights to function erratically. For example, flickering dashboard lights are common on bikes with bad wiring harnesses/looms. 

Faulty Regulator Rectifier 
The regulator rectifier converts AC to DC, which is used to charge your bike’s battery. 
More importantly, it regulates the DC current and prevents high voltage surges from damaging the motorcycle’s battery. 
Faulty regulator/rectifiers can lead to various problems, especially for the motorcycle’s battery. Diode burnout is one such problem. It also causes the battery to drain abnormally. Electrical components like headlights, meters, and others may perform erratically as well. 
It is important to test your bike’s voltage with a voltmeter to be certain the fault is from a faulty regulator and not a bad battery. 

Malfunctioning Gearboxes 
Malfunctioning gearboxes are another widespread problem. 
According to owners, the gearbox (or its components) develops faults, making gear shifting difficult or erratic. 
Erratic shifting aside, false neutral, delayed engagement, and missed shifts are other problems caused by a malfunctioning gearbox. False neutrals occur when the transmission goes out of gear during shifting. As a result, the motorcycle will decelerate like one in neutral gear, hence the name “false neutral.” 
Most of these problems are often the result of damaged or faulty gearbox components. They are often the result of hard riding with improper shifting or a lack of regular service maintenance. 

Excessive vibrations 
This is a potential issue on any bike. 
Bikes vibrate, and vibration can cause wear and tear on many of a bike’s components, including the ignition coil. If the ignition coil’s windings are damaged from vibration, it can cause breaks in your ignition coil’s secondary windings.

I had a 2008 GS(SM5) spyder and loved the trike. It road excellent, the power and speed was amassing, I had no trouble with it even being the 1st model year. It was scary on sharp curves you had to turn it and it would come around. The heat from the engine came out of the vents right on you legs and made it very hot in the summer, When it was colder out it acted like a heater and felt pretty good. The spark plug on the right side was a bear to get to, you had to take the side cover off and the completely disassemble the air cleaner housing and the use a swivel socket to get it and be carfoll not crack it or crossthead it. Poor design. If you pull to hard on the plug wire getting it off you will pull the will into causing a miss. Be sure to take it to a certified can am dealer to have serviced. Back yard mechanics don't have the know how.

I've wanted a unique bike but didn't want to put my safety in the hands of others. I commute to DC and ride some of the most accident prone, traffic heavy roads in the country and feel safe in my "cage" but never thought I'd be willing to take the challenge on a bike. Then I got my Spyder... A 2009 Phantom. I find it a complete blast to ride and feel very safe - that is except for the gawkers that are not paying attention to the road and trying to catch a look at the bike. I've had no mechanical issues with the Spyder but have some concerns with the more than average problems others have experienced. I do what maintenance I can myself but since it relies on computer controls for steering, braking and stability control, I still need to have a dealer do the more complicated stuff. I've done quite a bit of customization myself - some for show and some for comfort. I added a 2" riser bar for a better driver position. I've also added floorboards and a Corbin seat for comfort. My wife loves riding the Spyder and we spend more quality time together since I bought it. I am very pleased with the performance and plan on being a Spyder Ryder for some time.

I purchased the 2010 SM-5 in May and was immediately surprised by the handling and comfort of this machine. My biggest fear of the thought of a cycle falling on me is now non-existent. My wife and I can now enjoy the pleasures of the open road with peace of mind. I must also say that the dealership, along with the entire staff, are super people who truly display the art of customer service.

The most safe thrill vehicle I have ever owned. The reverse makes it great for the older rider or handicapped person who may not be able to ride a 2 wheeler. It is a great attention getter, be prepared to answer questions every time you come to a stop. I would hate to make a choice between my H.D. and Spyder.

I don't miss the old motorcycle at all. This feels so much safer, and with the trunk and side bags we can carry all we need or want. Stability is fantastic.
