    READ THE MANUAL, the complete manual from start to finish. Break in time, first and every service intervals.....ALL COVERED.

    Mods required....NONE...until you’ve put a few thousand miles on, and then you’ll know, and appreciate much more.

    Second all the above, Read the manual, get a few thousand miles under your belt, then start modding, Spyder is quite capable, right out the box, but there will always be personal thingies, you would want to chane
    the funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it........

    First service 3000 miles. Break-in 600 miles, no hard braking for first 200 miles. As for mods, more lights are always a good thing. First thing I did to my 22 F3 Limited Special was add the Spyclops LED. Very simple added visibility for just over 50 bucks!

    If you're getting a brand new F3-S SS, you will need to plan on getting a windshield as it only comes with a little gauge spoiler. Also get a set of middle pegs - makes it so much easier to mount and dismount the bike. And if you weigh more than 175 pounds I recommend an aftermarket rear shock and spring set up for your weight.


    My Mods:
    Elka Stage 5 rear shock with spring preload adjust
    Monster Stage 2 ECU
    Pedal Commander
    RLS cat delete
    Baja Ron sway bar
    Baker Air Wings upper and lower
    Viking saddle bags
    Third pegs
    Vredestein tires front and rear
    Mad Stad windshield
    X-creen windshield deflector
    Front and rear drive cam
    Garmin Zumo XT
    Heated gear wiring
    Lamonster LED headlights
    Lamonster LED foglights
    Lamonster frame mount cupholder
    BRP heated handgrips
    Lamonster drivers backrest
    BRP passenger backrest
    Lidlock handlebar end helmet locks
    Barkbusters Storm handguards
