    Default Need help identifying a possible missing part on my 2016 F3-T

    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 while riding. It is behind the attachment point for the left front swing arm and part of what is left extends below the belt. I would guess it is some sort of a protective plate, because what is left has two slots on the bottom where tabs for a plate might insert and a knurled, threaded rod into which a bolt or screw may have been used to secure the plate. Here are two photos.

    Any help identifying this would be appreciated, as I would like to purchase a replacement part and put it on before I try to sell the Spyder.

    Yeah, nothing missing that I can see.

    The plate bit in your pic is the cover/support for the reverse selector, and that 'knurled threaded rod' you can see is the manual gear selector shaft - the SE gearboxes ARE NOT automatic, they are the SAME MANUAL GEARBOX as the SM's, only the SE's have faster & sexier shifting & an oil/hydraulic clutch; all of which is electronically activated via that little flappy paddle on the LHS hand grip - but because it's still the same gearbox, that shaft for the manual shifter is still there, it just doesn't have anything on it cos your SE's got the faster sexier electronic shift gear instead!

    All that is good with your F3-T!
