    I do like the 175/5s, but am certainly open to any reasons they might be problematic. When they were purchased, brands and sizes were VERY limited and the Yokos were the best choice of those...

    My first Spyder, a 2015 F3S, was purchased with original Kendas. There was a moderate to severe balance issue at certain higway speeds, that made riding it home from Phoenix to San Diego, a bit of an...

    Finally figured out an easy way to secure large items to the RTL's passenger seat. I do most all the grocery shopping and regularly purchase 12 packs of soda and 2 1/2 gal. drinking water.

    A couple of comments. First, having dealt with the **** ups on the F3S I purchased in Phoenix, that had been "maintained" by Ride Now - I'd stay away from them. Second on the pulley recall, you can...

    Have done that twice on my Spyders, but based on the easy experience of using the correct tool on the Mini, I'll go for the tool, if it has the right fitting (or one I can grind to fit. :2thumbs: )

    The interesting thing about the pinched and squished compromised oil ring, is that the only mechanics that have had the wheel off prior to this tire change were those at the Phoenix Can Am...

    If I can't find one that fits, I'll look at the kit faces I have to see if that might work. Thanks
  13. Is there a Rear Brake Rewind Tool Set that includes Spyder's Brembo caliper?

    This maybe should be in shop talk, but applies to both F3's and late model RT's.

    I realize Baja Ron has a rewind fitting that fits the face of the Brembo rear piston, but I'd like to find a rewind...
  14. Thanks Ron. I agree. There are seals in front of...

    Thanks Ron. I agree. There are seals in front of the sprocket and wheel bearings, and I believe the bearings are sealed. The Oring seems to provide a bit of backdoor water and dust sealing to the...
  15. What is compromised by leaving Sprocket O-ring out?

    Just replaced the rear tire on my F3S and noticed the infamous (sometimes missing) sprocket O-ring was pinched and distorted. Whatever sealing function it originally provided was severely...

    Exactly. On our 2012 Mini Contryman All4, the ride was awful with the run flats. Contis have been mounted ever since those awful, stiff rocks died a grateful death. Can't imagine mounting them on the...

  22. Cutting screen on the Spyder.

    Agree with Ricz. Almost identical to the method I just used to cut my F4 Customs tall screen on my F3S. Tape both sides, create the cut line as described, cut with jig saw and sand to perfect the...

    Looks like I wasn't clear the link was to a video, not a photo. When I posted, I was afraid Google Photos wouldn't allow sharing with "anyone with the link".

    My "new" F3S came with an almost new stock rear, so it will be awhile before replacemen is needed. I've seen the mention of the rims being an automotive J type before, but is there a "J" stamp or...

    Two subjects here.

    First, the wiring switch I had to make. The original Admore kit was for the Givi V46 Topbox. It had been installed several years ago on my Honda NT700 and I set it up on the...
  29. Ignition switch panel blank plug on the right?

    For my 2015 F3S, I'd like to put in a 1" round USB/voltmeter in place of the right side ignition panel plug. On removing the panel I found there is a 4 wire connector plugged into the back of the...

    For anyone who tries this, and you have a 5-wire Admore harness, instead of 6, you'll likely have an issue like I did..
