Finally got my 2019 F3L back with the new motor. BRP covered the install after the oil pump gears failed. The trike had just under 6K miles. After the dealer installed the motor and was checking everything out, they noticed the airbag was not inflating so they kept it another day to investigate. Apparently, nobody told the computer it was going into a Spyder with an airbag. So, I have been riding for a year without the airbag. So far, I have not really noticed any difference, but then I use an Airsoft cushion.
Just before the Spyder died, I had some color added. My decoration taste is atrocious (so I've been told), so I just told them to make it look sharp, but not too gaudy. I think it came out very nice looking,

You must have had some air in that bag, it just wasn't adjusting itself!! When my pump went on me, in the middle of a ride, there was no way you would have not noticed that, it was dead to the frame, the shock was working as a dampener to keep it from bouncing down the road!! In short it sucked!!! Good luck and enjoy the new motor and self adjusting ride, hope it holds up better than mine did!!
New Motor and Activated Airbag.
