• 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.

    2022 Spyder Mirror Recall F3 F3S

    The affected part is the part of the mirror that moves within the housing. The whole stalk will rotate back and forth on a pivot point on the body of the trike, but that's not the failure point. It's just the mirror glass itself. It's only held on by a single plastic post in the center of the...

    2022 Spyder Mirror Recall F3 F3S

    I took the Spyder over to my dealer yesterday to have them look at the mirror. They had a replacement on hand and did the swap while I waited. I was super happy that they were able to do that. We'll see if this replacement holds up. They only swapped the left assembly, which was the broken...

    2022 F3S left mirror fell off overnight in the garage

    What falls off is the mirror glass itself. It's attached by a plastic central post to a pivot joint on the housing. That plastic post gets brittle and breaks. From my experience working for a company that does plastic molding injection and talking with one of our plastic engineers, injection...

    2022 Spyder Mirror Recall F3 F3S

    Well, my left mirror fell off again. It was replaced, along with the right mirror, last year according to the recall. I'm going to call my dealer up again. It suffered the same problem. The mounting post sheared off. I'm guessing the plastic was not properly shot again. Looks like the...

    Who would have thought that Grip Puppies could make such a difference!

    Do you guys wear gloves with these? I'm always wearing riding gloves. I'm not sure how well that would work with a grip cover. Thanks.

    The frequent lament of "they said my Spyder was not a real motorcycle!"

    I don't care what anyone thinks about my Spyder. My wife and I enjoy it. It's more fun than a convertible car and we're sharing the same risks that 2-wheel riders take. I have a coworker who insists on badgering me about the Spyder not being a motorcycle. It's really strange. I usually...

    Questioning wearing Ear Plugs while riding

    I use Plugfones when I ride. The filter I use reduces noise by about 30dB. I can still hear traffic, horns, screeching tires, the engine of the bike, etc. I use them with my Cardo. If I listen to music, which I often like to do, I keep the volume minimal so I can still hear around me. I...

    Are there any Mirror stiffeners for an F3-S?

    Except for my '22 F3S losing the left side mirror glass completely, I've had no play in the mirrors at all. I have two replaced mirror assemblies now (post-recall) and they are rock solid, too. They don't even vibrate. They require firm pressure to adjust.

    When and where was the first time you rode a Can-Am tryke ??

    I took the MSF 3-wheel course on a Ryker 600. It was fun and I was hooked.

    Anyone else got a Recall notice on Front Fender Harness?

    I received a recall notice from BRP this week for the 2022 Ryker Sport that I owned last year. It's for the front fender wiring harnesses. My Ryker's was improperly installed from the factory. I happened to notice it by accident when I removed the front fenders. The right side harness was...

    +1. Head checks are really important!

    I can see the mirrors perfectly fine. The camera is mounted on my chin on the helmet, so the vantage point is lower than my eyes. Thanks anyway. :)

    2022 Spyder Mirror Recall F3 F3S

    I had my 2022 F3-S mirrors replaced at the dealer a couple of weeks ago. So far they're still attached to the assemblies.
