• 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.

    Why do I have a flashing brake light on the dash?

    Could well be just Gremlins. After posting the original post, I went back to the garage and carefully went through the starting procedure and the flashing brake light never re-appeared. I will check the fluid level just to make sure, but fingers crossed it won't repeat. Thanks for all the...

    Why do I have a flashing brake light on the dash?

    I haven't ridden my 2020 F3-Limited all winter, and I'm hoping something I'm forgetting is causing this symptom. Turned on the key and pressed the mode button to clear the "Read the Manual" warning; I cranked the engine and pressed the parking brake release, fully expecting the red "brake on"...

    Anyone tried Wrap my Spyder racing strips on a Matt Black finish?

    Suggest ask the Wrap folk. That would give you an accurate answer instead of a mixture of guesses and opinions. Not to belittle anyone’s response; just my suggestion to ask the pros. They don’t want you to have a bad experience with their product.

    Mirror upgrade for 2020 F3-limited

    I ended up with this pair of bar end mirrors: FENRIR CNC Aluminum Alloy Cafe Racer Black Motorcycle Bar End Mirrors https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08PP6CB73/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They were $65, but quality gear and the mirrors themselves were distortion-free (as...

    2019 F3-T Black panels have light scratches (spyder webbing)

    I thought spider webbing was the cat’s meow; have seen some Spyder just covered up with the stuff. Think it comes from Wrap My Spyder Just playing with you. Hope you find the appropriate remedy.

    Mirror upgrade for 2020 F3-limited

    Hi RICZ: This is proving to be an interesting discussion. My ladyfriend (best 2nd rider I've ever had) would love to regale you with her rendition of the day we were sitting stopped dead at a construction site and I saw a car from behind approaching at a high rate of speed. As I quickly...

    Mirror upgrade for 2020 F3-limited

    Thanks for the suggestion regarding widening the view of the mirrors; I understand the value in doing that to make sure you can see into those infamous blind spots. In a perfect world, a person would have mirrors that provided both a view of those pesky motorists who arrive with a blindingly...

    F3- Thoughts on a packed gravel road

    My quick $.02 regarding the possibility of damage: I had run up and down my gravel drive a number of times, and ridden other gravel roads out in the boonies with my earlier RT and F3 with no issue. Fortunately, where my damage experience happened was just as I rounded the circle in front of...

    Trailer wiring

    Just to bring my experience with seeking a ready-made 4-pin flat to 4-pin square adapter, some have mentioned that any good auto parts store should have one. I went to the big three (Auto Zone, Advance, and O'Reilley's) here in Cleveland, GA, and Tractor Supply. No one had one or even seemed...

    Need to Wire 2019 RT to 5-pin flat for Bushtec camper?

    Lamonster has this: http://www.lamonstergarage.com/can-am-spyder-trailer-harness-adapter-lamonster/ but it doesn't fill the OP's needs for a 5-pin flat since it's a 4-pin to 4-pin converter

    What's the Proper routing for BRP trailer harness on 2020 F3-Limited?

    Thanks for the help. Using a little redneck creativity, I got the job done. Worst part was running the trailer connection cable (the 4-pin deal) from under the seat area back through the labyrinth of plastic barriers so it would hang down to the hitch area. Glad that's done. Now to get the...
