I added some risers and had a similar problem. I used an "old-fashioned" fix. I took an aluminum soft drink can and cut strips to fit under the clamps. I placed the strips on a piece of wood and...

Hello,
I am getting ready to sell my 2016 Can-Am Spyder F3-T. In the process of getting it ready and taking photos, I noticed that a part may be missing. It may have come loose and fallen off...
I ran the tender pigtail around the outside of the frunk liner. There was no need to make a hole in the liner. You should be able to see it in the photo in my previous post.
I have a 2016 F3-T. My battery tender connection is in the frunk. It was obvious when I opened the frunk, as the dealer had threaded it over the frunk gasket. Since this caused a leak in the...
Hello,
My 2016 F3-T runs pretty hot. When this was a problem on my Harley, I had a Stage 1 modification done on it (replaced the catalytic converter-containing pipes with slip on mufflers,...
I will NOT sleep well tonight!!
Just a pet peeve that I have.
VIN = vehicle identification number
VIN # = vehicle identification number number
Same for ATM machine and others.
I have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder).
Arggh. No I did not realize this. I may have discovered this in the process, but thanks for alerting me to to this fact ahead of time. What I probably will do is let the dealer do this when I get...
I do have the stock Kenda tires in front. Perhaps if I swap the right and left front tires I might get a clue about what's going on. What do you think? I would assume that if it were the tires,...
Hello,
My F3-T drifts slightly to the right when I set the cruise control and release my hold on the grips. I am pretty sure it's not due to the crown in the road (I have tried it in the middle of...
Thanks for your response. I have installed a BajaRon sway bar which has worked wonders for the handling of the F3-T. The ride seems a little stiffer, so I really would like to loosen up the preload...
Hello,
I would like to reduce the preload on my stock F3-T shocks. I plan to jack up the front end to allow loosening of the two nuts at the bottom of the shock. I was wondering if that is all I...
I want to adjust the shocks on my 2016 Spyder F3-T. I have been looking a floor jacks, but even most of the "low profile" ones look like they would have trouble getting under the Spyder. Also, I am...
Hand sanitizer worked great!!!
Thanks, Ron, for the excellent analysis. I will play a little with it, but I really like it pretty much as it is.
I had the Baja Ron Sway bar installed on my 2016 F3-T by a dealer recently (got ripped off in price, but I did not want to do it myself - off to a different dealer next time). I agree with previous...
I took the Spyder in for some work. Tech says that the smell is not a problem. Everything checks out OK. It may be some of the protective coating they apply to the pipes burning off. It seems to...
My 2016 Spyder F3-T has about 1300 miles on it. After a ride, when I park it in the garage, I get what smells like burning rubber. Not too strong, but definitely noticeable. I thought maybe it was...
Just finished a 3170 miles trip over 11 days, including the entire Blue Ridge Parkway, on my extremely comfortable 2012 Harley Heritage Softail Classic. Still need windshield, highway pegs, and seat...
OK, so maybe I am picking nits here, but I was wondering if anyone has been able to make a direct comparison between two sources for foam grips for the Can-Am Spyders F3 series.
One is from...
I bought the same bike through Jason in April/May. Great transaction and deal. Delivered to my driveway and they did a trade in on my motorcycle, which they loaded up and carted away. Excellent,...
This hearkens back to my two-wheeled experience, but I was wondering if anyone has found a convenient place (bolt) on the front underside of a Spyder F3T onto which to mount a guardian/gremlin bell....
I am thinking that I would like to have my handlebars on my F3-T closer to me, as well as higher. So, I was thinking of getting the short reach handlebar and rotating it upward a bit. I thought I...
I have had my 2016 Spyder F3-T for a little over a month now. As I have a long ride planned for my Harley and did not want to mess up the service interval, as well as to break in my Spyder, I have...
From billybovine: "RPM X 1000" is not lite on my 2013 ST and it is basically the same multifunction gauge cluster. Also why would you need to light it? It's not going to change to any other scale....
I got my 2016 F3-T with a BRP tensioner installed. I decided to go with Doc's setup. I had the same quandary about whether to reuse the BRP bracket or go with the complete assembly from Doc. For...
I ride a Harley Heritage Softail Classic motorcycle that I have customized to be very comfortable. However, I have been getting cramping and pains in my left leg from shifting, in my left hand from...
I just got a 2016 Can-Am Spyder F3-T. I have a question about the instrument panel.
There are two analog dials - a speedometer on the left and a tachometer on the right.
With the Spyder turned...
I was out of town when it was delivered and we've had a lot of rain - with more coming from Tropical Storm Cindy. Feeling much more comfortable with a looser grip. I realized I need a backrest,...
I have an odd-shaped ear canal. I have little luck getting sponge plugs to fit properly so I had my audiologist make me a custom pair. They work great. Pricey, but most hearing loss is irreversible, ...
