• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Is there any way of stiffening the rear suspension on a 2023 F3 Limited short of shock replacement for 2 up riding?

The only thing from eibach I was able to find were shocks for CAN-AM Mavericks.

I checked the forum link you posted and from there went searching for CAN-AM part number: 219400739

The CAN-AM website said they were out of stock, but I found them on Amazon:

Can-Am Spyder New OEM F3 Occasional 2-Up Rear Shock, 219400739

https://www.amazon.com/Can-Am-Spyder-Occasional-Shock-219400739/dp/B01MG54T0U

There is a comment on the Amazon webpage that there are only 2 left in stock.


So I think the answer to the answer to the original question is no.
 
If you have the Limited, you have an air bag, that bag runs off a compressor, unfortunately they don't have a Schraeder valve set up under the seat, and the computer has a set ride height that it will try to maintain; and believe it or not, that bag works like an overload on a truck. If you unhook the 1/4" line at the end of the line that goes from the bag to the pressure collector and put a Schraeder valve in it, you can manually fill the bag to your desired stiffness. But beware, that bag is only rated for 90 psi! So use a bike pump, or something that you can control, because it doesn't take much to gain or lose air! And you'll have to disconnect the compressor, and the collector so that it doesn't run away and fry itself. If you have the standard F3, then the only thing you can do is get a beefer spring for your shock; or get an aftermarket shock set up for the weight you're carrying.

No schrader valve on the 2023 F3L? My 2022 RT S2S still has the Schrader valve under the seat. Hmmm...

In my eye's if I was BRP I would just make all models a manual fill system, dump the crappy compressor with the dumb check valve that gets gummed up and leaks by and you don't know it's doing it and then the next thing is your compressors burnt up and you have to pull your wallet out and get a new one, or make it a manual fill! They would be saving US, a lot of time and money and frustration. I find it easy to check the air in my tires and the bag all at once!!
