• 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.

    From Ryker to Spyder F3 advice and questions

    I don't believe any current F3 offers a manual so you will have to be satisfied with the paddle shift. Also, please don't expect better fuel mileage. I consistently get between 32 and 35 mpg except in the west at high elevation (5,000 - 12,000 feet) where I have achieved in the low 40's. Premium...

    It might be a bit pricey after you get through importing it.

    Which of these 2 windshield heights for my 2020 Spyder F3?

    As others have stated I would recommend the F4 windshield with the side wings option. You are going to have a different wind experience since you are used to the Harley Ultra which places the rider very close to the windshield.

    BRP dumping Connect???

    It is annoying to hear of the problems. I subscribed to and downloaded the apps required by Connect and found them to be troublesome to deal with. I like to keep things simple so I just installed a phone holder on the handlebars and use one of the navigation apps on my phone. They are easy to...

    Is the 'Rocking' Ride Characteristic correctable?

    You can't adjust your way out of this. The movement you are experiencing is caused by wheel ruts or depressions made by heavy vehicles or simply road wear. You have two front wheels generally in the wheel depressions and the rear riding the crown of the road. When the rear moves to one side or...

    Post-ride disinfect

    This virus is a contact virus. Infected human to human. It is not caused by pollen in the air. It is not dust or dirt. It does not survive on exposed surfaces for long. I cannot see why you would need to disinfect your Ryker. Then again, I'm no expert working for the Government.

    Is there a 2 up spring for the F3L

    If is leaking you are still under the original warranty are you not?

    So My F3 gives off lots of heat from engine. Need suggestions

    Well, it's water cooled so you have a tea kettle exhausting heat right in front of your legs. All Can Ams and large motorcycles have this problem to a certain degree. I see many HD riders in shorts and I have never been able to understand how they stand it. Either their legs must be cocked wide...

    2020 RT Trailer Hitch mis-information

    Be careful of the changes in the harness due to year of manufacture. I bought a factory harness for my 2018 F3L on line to save a few bucks. It turns out it was for a 2017 and there was an incompatibility for one of the connectors. BRP changes part numbers at will and doesn't send info to the...

    First Impression 2020 RTL

    I suppose the dealer could have been a bit more gentle with you but the fact is: Used Can Am's depreciate like a rock thrown off a cliff. In comparison, average depreciation on a 4 year old car is 50% so they are similar. Accessories are worth nothing on resale. If you can't allow the dealer to...

    One year on the road. Is is just me ?

    This has been my experience as well. I've had my 2018 F3L for 11 months and 6,000 miles. Tires are still good, no problems with anything. I added the belt tensioner, and a F4 windshield which were good additions. I did notice the belt vibration intermittently when at highway speeds and the...

    Thoughts from Dual Model Owners: Ryker and.....

    You ask good questions but the only correct answers will come from you. We have both a Spyder F3L and A Ryker. The Ryker is my wife's ride. I enjoy both but to address the smoothness I would say the F3 is hands down more smooth than a Ryker from the standpoint of ride and handlebar feedback. I...

    The Shad bags are larger. Do not envy the F3T/L panniers as they are pretty minimal. They do look good...

    Can't hear the music from my phone

    I have had no luck hearing anything with clarity on a motorcycle or a Can Am. The volume must be set so high that I get distortion. The Can Am system is awful. I stream from my phone by Bluetooth to my helmet intercom. Also, since I wear ear plugs, the volume is set high but overall the noise...
