• 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 the base F3 the sportiest model?

    I bought a 2015 F3 SE6 new in 2016. It was bare bones. Then I put on floorboards, windshield, easybrackets with bags, some LED lights, 2 up rear shock, passenger backrest, GPS. Sporty? I dunno.

    Fed up with Can-Am service!

    April 20, 2023, 76 days later I picked up my bike. I had to pay $733.68 for a new drive belt. Two things among others I learned in the military. Attention to detail and never say anything you don't want to see again later in writing. I believe the belt was out of alignment and proper tension...

    Fed up with Can-Am service!

    The problem is my dealer has told me he cannot get the sprocket from Can Am. He has been lying to me since last summer. He has been stringing me along. First it was, "They will be here by the last week of August (2022)." That came and went. i called him several times through November. Each...

    Do Older F3's have any reliability issues?

    I have a 2015 F3 SE6. The only problem was the front sprocket going bad and breaking down on the road. THE DEALER IS THE PROBLEM!

    Fed up with Can-Am service!

    Admittedly, I should have taken it to the dealership in Panama City, FL or even Jacksonville, FL I never let the dealership change my oil; I do it myself. I have the "Gold Plugs" on it and they would probably "come up missing" if I let them do it. My mind is just about made up for selling...

    Fed up with Can-Am service!

    Ok, I will add some more information rather than numerically answer each question. I always thought the rattling in the back was my aftemarket saddle bags. I couldn't figure it out. Then I noticed the belt was not aligned. I read the shop manual and found out where the belt adjustment bolts...

    Fed up with Can-Am service!

    It is March 26, 2023. My 2015 Spyder F3 has been in the shop since February 4, 2023. It went in the shop because the belt went bad. The belt went bad because it was never aligned and tightened properly when the rear tire was replaced in 2019. Since then, the bike was rattling for 3 years...

    Who Out There Has Gotten The Replacement Sprocket?

    Last year my local dealer said he would have the new sprockets in the last week of August '22. That month came and went. I got tired of calling. This month, Feb '23, I called my dealer and he said, "I heard they have them in." I give up. PS: My front sprocket was replaced (with the old...

    What battery should I get for a 2021 F3 Ltd?

    Just last week I paid $129 for a battery for my 2015 F3 at Battery Source. It's the second time I replaced the battery in 6 years. I am guilty of not using a battery charger when not in use, but it's plugged in now. Gonna use it more often. Now about that front pulley......

    What aftermarket bags work best on an F3

    I have a 2015 F3 SE6. I put on Easy Brackets on with Leatherworks, Inc., 120 Special Slight Angle Saddlebags a few years ago. One of the vendors on here sells that set up already done and all you have to do is mount it on the bike. I ordered the two separate a few years ago and put them...

    What Brand Engine oil do you use

    Rather than start a new oil thread, I figured I'd just comment here. It's time for my annual oil change on my 2015 SE6 F3. I have been using Shell Rotella T6, 5W 40, but as you know, you can't find it anywhere now. It is not available in either of the 2 Wal Marts in Tallahassee, FL. But guess...
