• 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.

    2015 RT - How to remove fuel tank?

    To attempt to help someone else in the future, I ended up giving in and purchasing the .pdf service manual for this bike. The removal of the RH floorboard and finagling around the brake master cylinder was no easier, not sure what I'm missing getting that out in a straight forward fashion, but...

    2015 RT - How to remove fuel tank?

    Thank you for at least the confirmation that I'm on the right path. Sure seems as though the BRP engineers could have given up 0.0002% of fuel tank size to make it easier to remove from the frame. Or even a bolted section of frame that could be removed to gain access. I'll continue to...

    2015 RT - How to remove fuel tank?

    Surely somebody has removed the fuel tank or just the fuel pump? I did it once and almost burned down the shop. Tried removing the master cylinder, the RH foot peg assembly, but the master cylinder lines were still in the way and doesn’t look like it will remove easily unless you pull the engine...

    2015 Spyder F3-S SE6 stalls when idling with Check Engine Light on

    My wife’s ’18 F3L is doing this now intermittently with approx 72k miles on it. I hope this was the fix for you, I’m going to tackle this on hers this weekend!

    Did the new battery fix it?

    My fix for the Infamous parking brake failure!

    Sounds like a weak motor, but you may be able to adjust the parking brake tension too so it’s not pulling so hard. The parking brake really just needs to keep it from rolling, doesn’t have to be so tight.

    My fix for the Infamous parking brake failure!

    I think it’s monitoring motor amperage and utilizing the physical switch for the brake disengaged safety confirmation. I also attribute this failure to low quality manufacturing, but I can’t say it’s terrible because it has lasted nearly 60k miles and this is the first hiccup we’ve experienced...

    My fix for the Infamous parking brake failure!

    I recently had to do a lot of work on my wife's F3 and wanted to share my findings since I wasn't able to find much when I was searching myself. I understand a lot of people take their bikes to the dealer when it gets past minor repairs or maintenance, but that's about all I found was "took it...

    Contemplating modifying primary clutch

    Exactly. That’s why I think it would be as simple as replacing the spring in the secondary clutch with a softer spring. Primary is more or less tuned for the engine power band, secondary kind of sets the ‘gear ratio’ to the final drive. I know it’s not that simple, but that’s a simple...

    Contemplating modifying primary clutch

    It’s dependent on load as well. It’s a balancing act.

    Contemplating modifying primary clutch

    Don’t remember if I reached out to dalton, I know I reached out to several different companies though. Treal Performance actually said it would be available very soon.

    Contemplating modifying primary clutch

    It does affect acceleration to a degree I guess, but more like changing the cruising speed. You can do all sorts of things to these clutches, change secondary spring rate, primary spring rate, primary clutch arm weight, arm shape, and on some even the secondary ramp angle. You can make it hit...

    Contemplating modifying primary clutch

    I know I’m resurrecting an old thread, but just bought my daughter a Ryker 900 and was curious about clutch kits. I’m familiar with the Can-am Atv world and clutch tuning there is pretty simple. I really think it would be as simple as replacing the spring in the secondary with one a little...

    FM radio reception F3L and RT 2018 models.

    Make sure you have the latest update on your cluster. I found out that you have to not only have buds connected to the bikes OBD terminal but also a double male ended USB cable connected to the cluster in the top console pocket to update the cluster software. That usually helps a lot with the...

    FM radio reception F3L and RT 2018 models.

    When I took her trunk off for the trailer hitch wiring and then again to add her rear LED’s I did take that strap loose and clean it, but I didn’t notice the bolt bottoming out, I thought it tightened up. I’ll check that out again. Today I took her antenna apart and cleaned it. Then I ohmed...
