    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...
  3. no hole needed

    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.
  4. Frunk

    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...

    Yes, I do

    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,...

    F3-T Drifting Slightly to the Right

    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...
  11. Thanks

    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...

    No problem

    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...
