Hi YVES, great mods, you also mentioned that you are going to install the Cat Bypass , do you know if this install will void the warranty or is this acceptable by BRP. Hello




hi my name is YVES i came from quebec canada i new on here but not new to the spyder familly ive owed a 2013 rs-s neutron green and a 2014 yellow rs-s all sm5

Your outdoor pictures look just like our winter here in Northwest Ohio and I share the same wishes for it to go away ASAP. I gather from your video that an RT anti sway bar will fit an F3. If that is indeed true it would mean the BajaRon bar will fit it. This would make possible even more cornering capability on what is reported to be the best handling Spyder yet made. Thanks for sharing your video and your pictures with us.

Allo Yves, bienvenu sur SpyderLovers.

J'ai eu la chance de voir le nouveau F3 pour la premiere fois cette fin-de-semaine au show de moto d'Ottawa, belle machine.


J'ai un RT Ltd 2014.


Bonne promenade, si le printemps peux finalement arriver.

What rear tire is that?????

BAM
02-17-2015, 04:29 PM
What rear tire is that?????

it's a yokohama advan 048 225 50 r15

sway bar from the rt will fit this bike it's larger than stock one you need 4 rt bushing too

didnt know about bajaron

the rt bar and bushing is around 80$ cdn bajaron 300 US

ive done it on my rss swaping for the rt bar and the diffrence was huge remember a f3 is about the same weight and more important you sit lower on it

no doubt it's gonna be a blast

I just upgraded to a F3S (red) from a RT and saw your post on the mods to your F3S! I really like the idea of what you've done with the rear fender, as I'm not a big fan of the original enclosure. Do you happen to have the part number for the fender you used from your previous Spyder and any pics on how you mounted it to the underside of the seat.

Your clearly way more handy than I, and any additional info / pictures you have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

this is the photo for the mounting of the rear rs st sport fender to the f3 the bolt with the gold washer is a stock f3 bolt for the others 2 you have to drill your stock under tail plastic and bolt the fender to it notice the small hole for the electrical connection on the left side

Getting ready to pull the trigger on the Licence plate relacation, but when I sat on the F3 and did some measurements it doesn't look like there is much room. When your riding yours BAM how much clearance do you have for your plate and does your tire ever make contact with the plate?

Getting ready to pull the trigger on the Licence plate relacation, but when I sat on the F3 and did some measurements it doesn't look like there is much room. When your riding yours BAM how much clearance do you have for your plate and does your tire ever make contact with the plate?


when im only me on it it okay no rubbuing or what else but with the girl friend it was a total no go i put a little more angle on the plate and it was fine il take some more photo for you maybe today

but im facing a problem with the girl friend where to much heavy the rear shock bottom out even sitting in the garage i will order a MAN COIL SPRING to solve this stock is 376 pound spring rate im split by putting on a 571 pound or a 686 pound so there will be no issue even 2 on it hitting a bump at over a 100


stay tuned ;):joke:

i took some photo remember it's with the stock coil spring and will it wil l be replaced in the next week i dont know if your familiar with spring rate the stock spring is arround 375 pound per inch so it took 375 pound to go down 1 inch the total travel of the rear shock coil combo is 5.2 inch

the spring i want to oder will have 686 spring rate so the bike will not even drop 1 inch even with the passenger on it will be over 4 inch of travel left even with 2 people on it (I hope)

first 3 picture unloaded 4 and 5 with 310 pound driver the bike drop 2.5 3 inch so only 2 inch or travel left the space betwen the tire and the license bolt is 1.5 inch so i have to be carefull for now on big bumps there .5 inch of probable contact for now but the last 1 inch of travel there the rubber stoper so it should be fine anyway

next week or the other with the new spring il be riding the bike solo witch maybe .5 of drop and not event a full inch with the girl friend so there will be no more issue or rubbing with that coil before the shock will botom out something else will break
686 pounds =1inch 1372 pounds = 2 inch 2058 pounds =3 inch 2744 ounds =4 inch you see the picture for the full shock to botom out it will need a 3500 pound force .... the stock one need a 1880 pound force to botom it out remember the levrage effect do to the shock not been mounted strait and passenger weight 2 feet behind the shock mounting area

Thanks Bam! Those pics were perfect and I too am very interested in how it works out with the springs. Please keep us up to date with your ride and mods, as I never even considered swapping the spring!

I am looking at maybe trying to fabricate or find a inexpensive black colored side mounting bracket to see how it would look. Brainstorming right now.. A bracket something like the one below.

Great video, but what about the horn replacement. Have you replaced the feeble horn yet with something louder? I have both air and standard horns in stock that will be much louder, but I'm having difficulty even finding the horn let alone replacing it. The RT is a piece of cake but this F3??
Help

here comes the final modification to the f3 due to shock bottoming out ive changed the coil spring to a H&R 300120 this spring as a stiffer spring rate than stock and work fine for me the stock pring is 376 pound inch this one is 686 pound inch and some machining as to be done to fit the f3 stock shock but now it's a blast :joke:

stock F3 vs F350

. . . if you can say that about a spring.

Fantastic pics. I especially like the head-on shot with the road & house in the background AND the one in front of BRP.

That turned out great with that spring, you can see it even sits higher at rest!!

Very impressed with your work!

Looks like the license plate relocate won't have any issues anymore either.

Thank you for sharing!

I also never considered replacing just the spring -- great idea! When I google it, the "close to the top" results don't look like your new spring. Just wondering where you got it, and did you take it to a machine shop for the "machining" that was needed to make it fit, or are you one of those guys with skills? :)

BAM
05-12-2015, 04:00 PM
the spring his a H&R 300120 it as to be machined on the top to fit the stock spring cap :ohyea:

Greetings from Edmonton, hope your winter has been warmer than mine!

I am curious how everything went this last year on your F3? Now that you've put on a bunch of Km's with all your mods (spring etc) just wanted to check in to see how the stiffer ride turned out, what do you have in store next? :)

Anyway hope all is well!

it's a yokohama advan 048 225 50 r15

sway bar from the rt will fit this bike it's larger than stock one you need 4 rt bushing too

didnt know about bajaron

the rt bar and bushing is around 80$ cdn bajaron 300 US

ive done it on my rss swaping for the rt bar and the diffrence was huge remember a f3 is about the same weight and more important you sit lower on it

no doubt it's gonna be a blast

you mention putting a RT Swaybar on an RSS. Was that from an older RT or do you have a part # and year?
