• 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.

    Your thoughts on F3 maintenance, costs, and reliability vs Ryker?

    I had the Ryker 900 for 3 years (bought in first year 2019) and loved it around town but as others have said, on highways it was not so comfortable. I also found on longer rides with friends who have touring bikes, it was quite tiring. Last summer, I traded it on a 2022 F3T and it's been...

    How many 2022 Spyders Coming?? Shout if you've ordered/got one!

    Got my 22 F3T last Thurs after waiting around 3 weeks. Nothing to do with parts, the bike was in stock and complete..it was the BRP hack that prevented my dealer getting the right paperwork! Been out for a couple of rides so far and holy sh## what a difference between this and my 2019 Ryker I...

    Cyberattack on BRP

    I'm in Ottawa, dealer is in Limoges (Loiselle). They are awesome to deal with (I bought my Ryker new there hence why I returned to get the F3).

    Cyberattack on BRP

    This situation is killing me :) I traded my Ryker 2 weeks ago on a 2022 F3-t that was in stock and actually on the floor. Great, no supply issues...except due to this cyber attack, the BRP back-end system that dealers use is down so they can't process my sale :( I have a Spyder..right...

    Fast track Ontario Motorcycle Licence for any valid G licence holder

    Classic Ontario Government! Well, I don't feel bad about going and doing the test now. FWIW, if you do need to go take the full M test (with M restriction), these are some notes I sent to a friend about the test: Google map of the route...

    Fast track Ontario Motorcycle Licence for any valid G licence holder

    I just ended up taking the full M road test on my Ryker and got an M(M) license. The licensing on these in Ontario is just whacked.

    Fast track Ontario Motorcycle Licence for any valid G licence holder

    Yeah...what I think happened was: This was the PROPOSAL: https://www.ontariocanada.com/registry/view.do?postingId=32427&language=en Govt assumed it would be done so updated other areas of the web site Proposal wasn't accepted Govt removed changes from the website We're back to regular...

    Fast track Ontario Motorcycle Licence for any valid G licence holder

    Ah, I phoned MTO - they have no idea (which is bizarre). I also called the SpyderCourse folks in Ottawa who told me that they haven't been sent any guidance on what a syllabus would look like.

    Fast track Ontario Motorcycle Licence for any valid G licence holder

    Did you ever find this out Dave? I'm in the same boat - it was actually listed on the MTO site but seems to have been removed. I'm on my M2(M) now and have a couple of years left on it but find that it's impossible to get a road test so I was going to re-take the course.... Can't find any...

    HowTo: Loosen and tighten your nuts ( Ryker wheel nut socket )

    The torque spec is not 121 lb/ft, it's 221 lb/ft! I've had my wheels off a few times and I can tell ya, getting to 221 is a workout for an older "portly" gentleman like myself!

    2019 Ryker 900 oil leak

    Reporting back in case anyone else has this. It looks like Candmryder was bang on. I left some cardboard underneath the bike for the past 24 hours and it's clean as a whistle so there's no leak. Given where things were and my own memory from when I pulled the 17mm plug, it must have been...

    2019 Ryker 900 oil leak

    Thanks Candmryder, that's super interesting! I did add some oil (not much) that brought the level up to around 3/4 of the acceptable range but I'm going to double check this now before going out again for a longer ryde. What you're saying makes perfect sense though as I couldn't see any...

    2019 Ryker 900 oil leak

    Bit of a weird one here. I have 3000 kms on my 2019 Ryker 900 and did the first oil change last weekend. Before I changed the oil, i noticed a drip of oil had formed on the large drain plug which I thought was odd. I'd just taken it out of storage (winter sucks in Canada!). Anyway, changed...

    Extended BEST warranty

    Hey there. I'm in Ottawa and bought my warranty for my 900 last year from Loiselle in Embrun (https://www.loisellesports.com/). I went with the 3 year one, here were the prices: 12 month - 631.50$ 24 month - 856.50$ 36 month - 1006.50$ Plus taxe. Not super cheap BUT it does include...

    Thanks Highwayman! It looks like it'll just fit! Impending investment after the "white stuff" has gone.
