My dealer charges $168 per hour. Ridiculous! I work on mine to save money.
I am looking for a set of 3rd pegs for a friend's F3 Ltd. He is tight on money and is looking for a used set rather than new. He wants the pegs that use the stock frame caps and not the more...
If you want some fog lights that are plug and play Lamonster Garage has a great set of fog lights. I believe Spyderpops does too.
Thanks!
Incandescent. The original light.
Can anyone tell me what gauge wire would power a license plate light on a Spyder? I’m thinking 14 gauge or 12 gauge? Maybe even 18 gauge?
I ordered the LED flag kit from a vendor on this site and assumed it was plug and play. But it came with posi-taps to splice into the plate light wires and it says to drill two 1/4" holes in the...
Also 86095 from CarQuest.
Be sure and turn the puck clockwise while pushing in. Ron’s special tool helps a lot.
Nice!!!
It is easy to do it yourself and save some money if you are physically able. Also, BajaRon’s shop in Greeneville, TN can do it.
Congratulations on a great job. For my spark plug change on my '15 F3-S I had the dealer do it. When it comes time to change the plugs on my 2020 F3 Ltd I will have Ron's shop do it.
I had a ‘15 F3-S before I sold it. The heated grips were extra. I added a Madstad windshield and hard Shad bags for luggage. I also had a trunk rack that I would strap a 40L waterproof bag to it. ...
I live three hours from Ron’s shop. Even though I have two dealers closer I prefer that Daniel work on my 2020 F3 Ltd. Daniel and the other employees do great work and their hourly rate is lower...
We have a Spyder riding group known as “The Spyder Ridge Riders.” We get together once a month and meet for lunch in western NC or upstate SC. Tomorrow we have 10 riders meeting for lunch. We have...
I will be there for my fourth three wheeler rally! Always a good time and great scenery!
You probably don’t want to hear this but the best way is to remove your windshield, rails, and gauge and go in that way. Not more than an hour job if you know what you are doing. I know because I...
My local grocery store carries dry ice.
I do not have a definite answer for you but I sold my '15 F3's for $8000 in October. It had 77,500 miles on it and was similarly equipped. I would think $7,000 to $8,000 would be a fair price.
Where are the three main centers?
Check with BajaRon in Greeneville, TN. His shop will work on your Spyder. Daniel, the master mechanic, knows the Spyders completely.
Contact BajaRon, a site sponsor. A friend of mine traded a standard F3 bar for a rear trunk strut. He might let you have it for next to nothing.
Your Spyder must be an ST with the 998 5-speed engine. If it were an RT, it has the same engine as later Spyders and I think Spyder techs would work on it.
Several years ago I bought heated glove liners from BajaRon. You might contact him to see what he recommends.
I noticed on Facebook that the Hot Springs Spyder rally will be May 16-18, 2024. But the last post was 10/29/23. Can anyone update the site or say what hotel will be the host hotel? Any new info...
I also agree on the F3T. My first Spyder was a ‘13 STS. Great Spyder but two years later I traded it for a ‘15 F3S. I like the F3 much better.
Send them an email.
Last week I emailed Michele Pierce, the coordinator for the rally. I asked how many had registered. At this time there are 190 registered. And it is not even January! Looks like it will be a big...
A lot of choices. If buying used the F3 and F3S were introduced in 2015. Beginning in 2016 or 2017 the F3T and Ltd were introduced. Look at all models and years, test ride if you can and then...
The problem I see with the 2011 RT is that dealers may not work on it since it is over 10 years old. Unless you are a good mechanic or know one, you might want to be cautious.
