• 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.

    F3 Ltd Rear Fender Extension

    I've had the damn thing off for years. I just like to look at the tire.

    Is your F4 Customs Windshield any better than Stock? For Pillion too?

    I have that exact windscreen (F4 Customs 21") on my 2016 F3L and it's far superior to the original. No extenders at the side, but I did get one with the Goldwing vent.

    Just replaced my Original Yuasa Battery with another after 7 years!

    I just replaced my original Yuasa battery with another Yuasa after 7 years with no leakage at all. I'm happy to use the same type of battery, 7 years is OK in my book. I looked into Lithium batteries and couldn't see the point of paying more to save a few pounds. As long as the battery turns the...

    Any hints on checking rear tire Air Pressure-F3L

    After this discussion I'm thinking of getting a FOBO with 4 sensors and putting one on the rear airbag of my F3L in addition to the 3 wheels. Only problem I can see is they have a pressure limit of 50PSI.

    Is the F3-T's Glove box USB fused? Can a dash-cam be connected?

    Well, in my case it runs my iPod OK. A typical USB interface should be able to supply 500mA or 0.5 amp. It should be capable of running a typical dashcam with no problems. As far as I can see on the F3T wiring diagram, there is no fuse on the USB connector. There is a 15A fuse on the radio...

    2022 F3-L rear axle - should BRP cover replacing it to fit hitch?

    Just guessing here, but shouldn't the new axle be supplied as part of the CanAm trailer hitch kit? After all, you're paying enough for it.

    Should I be checking pressure in the Rear Suspension Air-bag? '19 F3 Ltd

    Earlier models have to adjust air pressure manually. Later ones are automatic. Mine is a 2016 F3L and has to be adjusted by hand. I believe there is an accessory kit to make it automatic but knowing CanAm and their pricing, I think I'll keep it as it is...

    Is an F3 Limited passenger seat any more comfortable?

    The obvious answer (to me at least) is get your passenger to try it out first before purchasing.

    Anyone know who sells the Extra peg for mounting F3?

    Ditto. I got these exact ones but fitted the left one on the right, right one on the left, and upside down to boot. Got an extra couple of inches of height that way.

    Fed up with Can-Am service!

    Is this dealer authorised to do the recall? Or any repairs on Spyders? Maybe Canam won't supply parts to this particular dealer because they don't pay bills? Who knows.

    Do Older F3's have any reliability issues?

    I have a 2016 F3L bought from new. Zero problems. Though I'm still having trouble locating the side stand.

    2017 F3 Ltd LED Tail Light Replacement.

    When I replaced my topbox light (so that it actually produced light) back in 2017, it cost about AU$160 from memory. Not sure why they sell it in Oz with that stupid black dummy light assembly, but at least they have the courtesy to have the wiring pre-installed.

    Any safe way to increase the Maximum Capacity on an F3 Ltd?

    "Is there any safe way to increase the payload or is it better to move up to the RT Limited? " I've found over the years that it's best to not read the manual at all. That way you will have complete confidence in the vehicle of your choice, and nothing will ever go wrong. Unfortunately, it's...
