• 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.

    2 up shock

    I just installed the 2 up shock on my F3S, and I am quite happy. The bike sits a little higher in the back because the shock spring does not sag down as far. The ride is improved over the stock shock. I weigh 165 lbs in my birthday suit, so I don't know about heavier riders.

    F3S Brake Lights

    Has anyone been able to put on their F3's high intensity led brake lights and have them flash when the brakes are applied. I had this on my RT and was very happy with the set-up.

    Reset fault codes

    I am ready to sell my Spyder. Every time it throws fault code(s) it is back to dealer to reset them. I should be able to attempt to correct the problem and reset the codes myself. If my repair was not correct, the code(s) should reappear. Then I will take my Spyder to the dealer for repair. If...

    The dreaded Limp Home Mode

    I never had the limp home mode problem that other Spyder owners posted about until recently. I had the bike jacked up to line up my belt so it was off the rear sprocket flange as recommended by BRP. To make sure that the belt was properly adjusted I started up the bike with the rear tire off the...
