Yes, they do have to be removed.
Relacing the gas cap with the one from Lamonster was one of the first things I did to my F3L. Makes it so much easier to fill the tank and much better looking as well. Can't really se a need for a...
I also had a mirror cover pop off when I hit a really bad pothole that I couldn't avoid when rounding a turn on a back road. Didn't even notice it was gone for a couple of days, The only solution I...
I remember the early Goldwings were quite famous for the "Honda clunk" when shifting into first. Did not seem to affect the reliability.
I can attest to that. I rode for years without them. After about 25 years I found my hearing down about 50 percent. I now always wear them to save what hearing I have left. Most earplugs will let...
I replaced mine with a stubby so I can get the cover on easier. I don't recall any problem with the change, but it was a few years ago.
Easier said than done.
Because of the way I park, I often need to find the valve by feel.
Simple 2 inch stick-on blind spot mirrors work for me. Available at any auto parts store.
Went through the same thing. Had to give up my CTX700 when even that got too heavy for my legs. You may not enjoy riding the Spyder as much as the two-wheeler. I certainly don't. But its way better...
Umm - how about your pocket?
Mine doesn't have a compass. I sure wish it did.
I have yet to touch the belt on my Spyder. But then, I get all work done at the dealer.
After the recall replacement I also seemed to be getting a smoother ride. I thought it might just be imagination due to removal of a stress factor. Glad to see others notice a positive change. Also...
I have an air pump with a pressure gauge. Just screw it on and push a button. Air loss on unscrewing is miniscule. Most of the time I can get the hose on where it sits, but occasionally I need to...
Lots of thanks for posting this! Mine requires 2 hands and I hate that.
Be very, very careful with the cramp buster. I had one on my CTX700, and it is very easy to bump, resulting in unwanted acceleration. The second time it happened, I removed it. In another situation...
I second this. The Lamonster cap is much more attractive and I see no reason for a locking cap on my Spyder. It also makes it much easier to insert the gas hose.
Just got my front sprocket recall notice from BRP. It says an interim repair service procedure will be available starting June 30. Parts for the final repair will be in very limited supply and...
Likewise.
Best 50 bucks I ever spent.
I have the BRP armrests on my 2019 F3L. They lock in place and are released with a lever. They only swing out a little, maybe 30 degrees. We don't bother as you don't really need them to move to get...
Get the BRP sponsored training, if possible. Best 50 bucks I ever spent.
I, too, am 76. Could no longer do 2 wheels and bought a new F3L. I still miss the easy handling and sensation of the two wheels, but with the Spyder at least I can continue riding, hopefully for many...
I was worried about this as well and replaced the stock cap with the one from Lamonster. No worries and it looks really cool.
The F3L has a more cruiser style seating position which may be more to your liking.
Pretty much my story without the Goldwing drop. Went to a CTX 700 for a while. After several more years, even that became heavier than was comfortable for me. Then got the F3L so I could continue...
I guess I'm not like you, because I can easily think of many things that are worse.
I have been using them for years. A 2" blind spot mirror in the upper outer corner works just as well or better than the fancier options available.
