• 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.

    Anyone received a Refund for Spyder F3 Sprockets purchased pre-recall?

    They gave me a credit towards what I spent to have the sprocket replaced that I can use at any CanAm dealer.

    Grumbling Noise When Coming to a Stop

    My 2016 F3 Limited locked up on me, however, I didn't know it. I rode it, parked it, then when I went to ride it a couple of weeks later, it wouldn't start. Thought i might need a new battery since I'd bought the F3 late 2016 & here it is 2021. Friend got it started & didn't realize you had...

    F3 Service Intervals

    Some of these posts are so confusing. Some are not counting the 1st oil change or service at 3k miles & saying the next service is 9300 miles. I did the same as you, but reading other posts, they are shortening the intervals by 3k miles. Well, I've got over 24k on my 2016 F3 Limited & don't...

    Gas cap

    Locking Gas Lid F3 You may not have a problem, but there are others on here who are having a problem. Going to the dealer today to see what they say or can do about it. Also contacted BRP about the problem. Some people on here don't realize that the lid is a part of the gas tank.

    Gas cap

    Locking Gas Lid F3 Here is what the gas lid looks like. Sorry, but the pictures turned sideways sort of. The tab that is lifted to expose the place where you insert the key is towards the seat. There isn't much room left to press down on the lid with the key in the locking/unlocking...

    Gas cap

    Locking Gas Lid F3 How do you post a picture? I was going to post a picture of what the locking gas lid looks like. I haven't seen anyone else post a picture of it so people would know what it looks like and that it is built into the gas tank.

    Gas cap

    Locking Gas Lid F3 I let mine sit for 2 days and it still wouldn't close all the way so I could turn the key. Taking it to the dealer tomorrow. The tank was not full when I opened it in the garage, thank goodness I was in the garage, and I didn't fill it up with the gas treatment so your...

    Gas cap

    Locking Gas Lid F3 I did, not a regular hammer, but a plastic coated hammer with weights in it. Don't know what it's called. I kept hitting the lid until I could turn the key and get it out. I had messed with it for 2 days and was very frustrated. Being a female who is a senior citizen, I...

    Gas cap

    Locking Gas Lid F3 You must not have a defective one like a lot of other people. Opened mine to put gas treatment in it since it had been sitting for so long and couldn't get it to turn back so I could take the key out. Took a hammer to it and it seated and I was able to turn the key and get...

    Gas cap

    Hinged Locking Gas Lid There is no choice as to switching it out since it is attached to the Spyder, not something that screws off. It stays attached and you would have to be a gorilla to get it to close and lock. I used a hammer to pound on mine and finally got it seated to the point the...

    Gas cap

    Locking Gas Lid, not Cap on F3 Wow what a novel idea, except what is on these models is not a cap. It is a lid, with a hinge that has to be pressed down on to seat it. I had to use a hammer to pound on mine with my other hand on the key so I could turn it once it was seated. I would love to...
