• 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.

    Thanks for the replies everyone. Decided to go back with OEM.

    Anyone tried an AGM battery alternative? Any info?

    Good morning everyone! After 4 years the factory battery in my 2018 F3S has faded into the sunset. Yes, I’ve load tested it and it’s finished. After many years as a Chevrolet dealership tech I’m not 100% convinced I want to go back with an AGM. Had many die in Corvettes sooner than they should...

    2018 F3L stalling while driving - any ideas on why?

    Here's my 2 cents (perhaps worth less). I think everyone so far has been focusing on the symptom and not the cause. Yes, the left side switch assembly is a pattern failure but it may not be the cause of the issue. I believe your primary issue is the P2530 stored in the ECM. I ran into this issue...

    SPROCKET RED DUST, recall inspection results ?

    To the OP, was that picture after the preliminary recall was done? Clearly no fingerprints on the sprocket and no witness marks on the bolt. It doesn’t look like it was touched.

    How many miles do you have on a recall pulley/sprocket?

    The way I interpret the O.P. is “if you have a Spyder that’s under recall how many miles are on the suspect sprocket?” My wife and I each have a 2018 F3s. Hers has around 3,000 miles on it and mine has around 15,000. No issues with either one. I’m planning on having the recalls done over the winter.

    Dealer told me there is a 'Stop Sale' recall on 2016+ models - is this true?

    Vehicles cannot be sold if they are subject to an open recall. This is something we deal with in the automotive business all the time, nothing to do but wait it out. Although the numbers do seem large they are tiny in comparison to the amount of vehicles recalled routinely by the major auto...

    Any tips on Right switch switch assy replacement?

    Guess no one has any ideas. I’ll report back after I’ve done the job and maybe my experience will help someone else.

    Any tips on Right switch switch assy replacement?

    Good morning all, I’m getting ready to replace the right side switch assembly on my 2018 F3S (the one with the red kill switch in it) and am looking for some tips. Does it split and go around the bar? Does the throttle come off and the switch slide off? If so how? As always, thanks in advance...

    Adding tire lettering gone bad

    I’ve had luck removing stubborn adhesive with a product called “goo gone”. It’s a household cleaner with a strong orange scent. Be careful with kerosene, WD 40 or any other petroleum based product. Your tires are, as I’m sure you know, rubber. Oil softens rubber and will degrade it.

    How old are you?

    I’m 52 and, as I’m still working, mostly use my 2018 F3s as a commuter vehicle doing 75 miles round trip every day as weather permits. Relatively new to riding with about 3 years exclusively on Spyders. My wife has an identical machine except for color, has ridden many years on 2 wheels and she...

    F3- Thoughts on a packed gravel road

    Great minds think alike! That’s what we’ve been using since moving out here, just a couple of minutes every time we get home and they are presentable. Not clean, but presentable so it works. I wonder if there’s a better way?

    F3- Thoughts on a packed gravel road

    I have to agree with whodat. We wouldn’t be able to ride if we didn’t go down the dirt roads. My wife and I each have a 2018 F3s and we live down a mile of dirt and gravel. We take it slow and easy and no problems so far. Now this infernal DUST… that’s a whole other issue. Since you are in much...
