Utah Pete... grateful thanks for the incisive, critical thinking, along with alternative suggestions. Exactly the thing I need at this point. Nothing better than chatting/listening to those who have...
Brentc... appreciate your thoughts. I will certainly check out your recommendations. I believe in doing a lot of 'homework' before actually buying, and you have given me a good lead. Thanks. Wasn't...
WDAVEY... sincere thanks for your down-to-earth and realistic thoughts. You're not raining on my parade at all; I appreciate the input. Those are points that have also passed between my ears Also...
I am used to hauling my Spyder F3L to FL each winter on my tag-along 14' aluminum trailer behind my Jeep, and spending 5 months at a manufactured home in a great little park. However, as a result of...
Before I even bought and paid for my 2017 F3L, I knew I wanted to be able to use it 12 months a year. I live in Ontario, Canada, and have a winter place in mid-Florida, so I was going to need a...
There is no issue then as far as year and model. The problem is one of condition upon delivery. You ordered, bought and paid for "new". You have every right to expect that. Seems proper dealer prep...
yes, BRP should have that info instantaneously.
When you say you "bought" a new 2020 RTL on Dec. 4, I think you use the wrong terminology. No such bike was in stock at the dealer; one had to be found. What you really did, in essence, was to...
I'm with Tango Tom on this one. Totally surprised at the type of reception you felt you received at Ultimate. The two guys who own and operate Ultimate are top notch at great customer relations and...
John, in your original post you state:
"I was always under the impression that for best handling and stability use the same tyre/tread pattern front to rear"
yet this is not true even for the...
This is a very timely post for me to read. Thanks for starting it, B. Question:
I have a 2017 F3L. This will be the first winter I have not ridden it year round. Unable/unlikely to get to FL this...
Hey ulflyer, maybe I can add a few comments to try and help. I'm 5' 10", stocky build, about 29" inseam, ride a 2017 F3L with bars in regular position, feet in #4 position. I've been 20,000 miles on...
I ride with an X-creen 'Tour' clamp-on style extension on my 2017 F3L. Been almost 20,000 miles without problems; used with several different makes and sizes of windshield (BRP short stock, BRP Tall...
Just a word of caution. The F3L will give you a different seating position from your RTL; however, that does not automatically also translate into no numb butt - the stock seat on the F3L can also be...
Well, since others are still replying to this 11-year-old thread, maybe I'm not too late to join in....
I'm often asked 'why?' I would ever pick such an "ugly" or unattractive name as "bushrat"....
tntnj, not to do Lamonster out of the sale of a brake rod, but your quickest and cheapest solution is simply to drill a new hole in your existing #3 rod at 7/16" closer to the throat (yoke) of the...
There are really two different issues involved here - first is foot position relative to how you wish to sit on your F3 Spyder to feel most comfortable in relation to your personal body...
FWIW... there have been several reported instances of caliper failure on one front wheel or the other, causing sudden and dangerous, extremely sharp pulling to the stronger side. I know; I was one of...
Replied by PM directly to you. Sorry, but much as I'd like to sell, I don't believe this will fit the F3s; it fits the standard brackets of an F3T or L. Hope you find what you need. Cheers, Roger.
bump.....
Help Please:
Can someone explain to me what I have just been told by a Garmin tech.
I have a Zumo 590, bought with my Spyder 2-1/2 years ago. Supposed to have lifetime maps, etc. I'm not very tech...
No longer available.
The stock grips on my 2017 F3L got fairly hot early on, when new; then, I added foam covers, after which they now only give me a warm feeling, at best. Anything added to the stock bars seems likely...
Congratulations Toby; glad you were able to make the deal on the one you wanted.
My only comment would be that I think you put the cart before the horse; i.e., better to go about changing/choosing your new seat first. Because the F3T/L has a fixed position windshield, you're...
Windshields, like seats, are really a matter of personal preference. Both length (height) as well as width will make a difference in performance, as will flatness and/or rake, and whether the top...
2017 F3L here, ridden 2-up about 65-70% of the time. Between us, my lady and I weigh 360#. Just over 16,000 miles on the odo now. We ride in Ontario during summer, Florida during winter (and the...
Hi RICZ: When I checked out the new 2020 RTL a couple of days ago, my impression was that the rear top case was just as wide as what we have on our F3L's, but seemed to me to be even a tad deeper. I...
Marvin, I saw those videos last night after I returned from my test ride. Certainly, they give some cause for concern. I must admit that I didn't look over the 2020 RTL with any sort of critical...
I hear you; all three are decisions really dictated by personal comfort and preference. For me, Helibars might be an early, potential change. As I noted, the one really instinctive reaction I had was...
