• 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.

    Bugs on Radiator Screen 2020 F3-T - easiest way to get them off?

    There are 4 screws that hold the screen in place. Take those out and the screen will come out easily. Take the whole thing and put it in the kitchen sink and soak in hot water and some mild detergent. Scub, dry, and reunite the screen with the Spyder. All clean!

    How do you dress for a ride?

    There are a lot of Spyder Ryders that are not really serious about ryding. That is why you see so many 3 year old spyders for sale with 1500 miles on them. We are ATGATT with gear that is comfortable and functional in all weather conditions.

    Having a problem getting registered in California.

    I guess I don't understand why you bought the Spyder out of state. There are lots of reputable dealers all across the state. You know if you buy from one of them they would have registered it for you. Instead you are dealing with a dealer that apparently does not know the laws out here, or they...

    How long do heated handgrips operate for?

    Once you depress the button, they will come on every time you start.

    Well ... it's real now!!! (Pictures ... 'cause it happened!)

    What do you mean it "is not a motorcycle"? It is a tri-cycle, and mine at least, has a motor! If I combine the two, I get "Motorcycle"! It is not a two wheeler that's for sure.

    Sena 20 Speaker upgrade

    Just a note. This is a post from 4 years ago. So you may not get much in the way of response. Check out the Cardo Pak-Talk bold. They have a JBL speaker upgrade and they are excellent. They do not seem to drain the battery any faster.

    Question abourt Freedom Windshields on F3T

    I have the 15 inch dark on my F3L 16. I am 5' 8". It works great for me, and looks like it came with the motorcycle. Much better than the stock. I my opinion it just looks better than any other after market shield, it does what you need it to do. With you at 5' 10" I would suggest the 17". And...

    Solutions for Excessive Heat on Right Side of F3T?

    Just turned 46000 on a 16 F3L and no heat anywhere, even in 106 degree heat this past weekend. I am thinking something is not right with that machine.

    Is there still a call for an actual 600 mile service on new Spyders?

    Just another dealer that wants to charge additional money that you do not need to pay. Now if the dealer says the service is free, go for it!

    In-helmet music options

    With Cardo, if you have your iTunes set to shuffle and a song comes on that you want to skip you just say "hey Cardo nest track" and it moves on. The sound quality is head and shoulders above Sena. The JBLs actually deliver Bass lines in the songs.

    A general question - any differences in 2018, '19, & '20 RT's to justify $$ diff?

    The 2020 has a very different ryde position so you should ryde an 18 and the 20. Then if you like the 20 wait till February when the price will drop as the 21s start arriving ae the dealers.

    In-helmet music options

    If you want good sound, then go Cardo Pack Talk Bold with JBL upgrade speakers. They are not ear buds but really nice speakers. Don't think the FM thing will work, mostly static unless you just ryde around the block.

    Do you take turns driving your Spyder with your husband, wife or significant other ??

    Voted no as we have purchased two spyders so we don't have to share the front seat!
