• 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.

    Anyone purchased from an out of town dealer? Is this common? Any concerns?

    I traded my 2022 F3L in on a 2024 F3L over the phone with a dealer several States away. I drove to it, and after several hours and paperwork, I was headed back home. My first and second Spyder's were done the same way with different out of State dealers, and then too, no issues.

    When Only On Street Angled Parking is available, do you back in, or drive in?

    Pull in, make it easy, there's a reason for having reverse. You don’t see cars stop and back in…

    Hot ride in between Frederick and Raleigh

    I ride up town in the mornings around 6:30 to work out, then to Panera’s for breakfast. The asphalt temps are getting warm by the time I head home.

    What's the difference between F3 Ltd & F3-T? Anyone switched fm RT?

    When I traded my 2017 Harley Ultra in on a new 2020 RTL, I struggled to like the feeling of sitting on top of a bike and gravity in curves fighting me. I traded that later for a new 2022 F3L Limited and I liked how now I felt to be part of the bike again. This year, I traded for a new 2024 F3L...

    Considering a Spyder - Can I Ask You Some Questions?

    I would say get a 2020 or newer Spyder because of the changes made. It takes some miles in the seat to really understand the characteristics of the Spyder as opposed to other like s before making any decisions as to whether it is a bike for you. This may be why you see newer bikes for sale...

    Installed my INNOVV ThirdEYE Motorcycle Blind Spot System - very impressed!

    Something needed. Good idea.

    Where to find the RT-L Air filter - it's not where my Owner's Manual suggests!

    Confusion comes sometimes by the method of right side vs left side as to how it is perceived. That is standing in front of bike as opposed to sitting on bike.

    First ride after adding seat gel hoping for more comfort, but nope, no change! What to do? Anybody made theirs better?

    Seats do need to be broken in before making a final assessment. Just like making judgements on how the bike handles, you'll need to put some time in the saddle first, and that may take a bunch of miles.

    Do the 2023/24 RT Speakers sound good & loud enough?

    On my 2024 F3L with 60/40 rear bias speaker setting listening to Sirius XM Satellite radio, sounds quite well wearing 1/2 helmet.

    Trip, Maine to Yellowstone

    Beartooth Highway is closed until the end of the month for snow removal, and some other roads in Yellowstone. It's a little early for trips in that area.

    2024 models - my observations re the Driveline whine - do other 2024 owners hear the same?

    After having my 2024 F3L Limited for a few months, I have noticed a change in the driveline whine that previous years have had. Before, my 2020 RTL and the 2022 F3L Limited had the known 50-53 mph whine. When I drove home with the 2024, I did not notice the whine and thought that BRP finally...

    Anyone fitted an Apple Carplay dongle to make '24 ACP Wireless to iPhone?

    A dongle plugged into the rear USB will allow ACP work on the display. However, you will not get audible noise unless using a headset. If you ride without a headset and want ACP maps with turn by turn directions on the display, then a cheap dongle is the way to go.

    May be old news to some, but the 2024/25 starting procedure doesn't need you to wait for the display safety stuff...

    As I said - 2024/25 RT/F3 models. The mode button was for 2020-2023 models.
