• 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.

    1330cc How fast can I safely run my F3 for how long?

    Thank you everyone for the replies. Great to know the engine should be able to do this. Probably still won't as it is a little above my comfort range. Great info on the temp gauge. Might have to look at an aux of some sort.

    1330cc How fast can I safely run my F3 for how long?

    I live in Texas and there is a road around Austin called 130. The posted speed is 85 for most of it. It also happens to be about 130 miles long. My question is would you take your F3 on this road and drive the 90 mph to keep from being run over for the full 130 miles? I normally take the back...

    Has anyone tried this Windshield on a 2018 F3 Limited?

    I have a 2018 F3 limited. I purchased the large (19") shield from Lamonster Garage with the light grey tint about 3 years ago. I am just shy of 6' and have my wife on the back about 50% of the time. We both feel this was a good choice. Easy to switch out with the existing mount. No issues in the...

    Any dealer recommendations in the DFW area?

    I used to live in Lewisville, TX and was using Freedom Powersports for my service work there in Lewisville. I now live in Argyle, TX, but still go back to the same dealer. So far they have treated me right, been easy to work with and I have not found fault with what they have done. They have...

    Any feedback re F3-S with SlingMods tri-case setup versus F3 Ltd?

    BigPoppa - I first rode a base F3. I liked it, but my wife could not see it. I ended up purchasing a 2019 F3L. My reasoning was I really wanted the storage right away so rides to work were covered. My wife was Okay, but still not 100% sold. I put the arm rests on and now she is asking me if we...

    Cut Variosystems AG wire instead of Customer accessory - what now?

    Just to finish up this thread. Added a new resistor of the same specs and sealed it all up. Have the GPS attached to the correct wires and everything is running fine. No errors show and I have not found any issues. @UtahPete - yes that was the tag on the wire. It looks like Variosystems makes...

    Cut Variosystems AG wire instead of Customer accessory - what now?

    I have played around with this some more, thinking I might be able to solder the wire now that I see it was all connected. Unfortunately, there was nothing to solder to. So I cut it off completely so I can replace it. Here is what was under that covering.

    Cut Variosystems AG wire instead of Customer accessory - what now?

    It took a bit, but I have a picture! You can see if you look really closely the resistor that is inside the coating. Once I was able to get enough light in there, I do see that it appears this was one complete circuit and does need to be reattached. I will do so and let everyone know.

    New Can-Am Spyder F3 Limited Owner/Rider, Just Saying Hi.

    I also have a 2019 F3 Limited in the orange color that I purchased 2nd hand. One thing I did early on was attach arm rests for my wife. She went from "Okay I will go, but it has to be a quick ride." to "Can we go for a ride after dinner?"

    Cut Variosystems AG wire instead of Customer accessory - what now?

    I can try and solder the cut wire or attach it some how. I just could not tell if it was ever connected because of the way I cut it. I am hoping the manual will give a circuit diagram and let me know if it should be re-connected or am I fine leaving it separated.

    Cut Variosystems AG wire instead of Customer accessory - what now?

    Let me say right off the bat I know I did wrong... Now though I need to know what to do next. Looking for the Customer Accessory connection wires I grabbed the one that had a tag on it thinking "What I am following has the same size tag but the year is different. So this must be just a...

    Looking for F3 Accessory switched circuit, found these wires - oops!

    adipaola - wish I had found your post earlier! I just did the same thing. I cut that same set of wires. Did you have have to do anything with them once cut? What do they go to?

    Freedom Windshield for F3 - How good it is?

    I have a 2019 F3 limited. I put the 19" with the light grey tint on it, and could not be more pleased. I am 5' 11.5" and it has reduced a lot of the wind that I was having. We are getting ready for our first "long" ride. (2.5 hours one way - I know this is hardly long for most folks...) and I...

    Looking for large Cargo trailer

    Thanks UtahPete - that is what I was afraid of. You have the potential of anything that large people thinking they can fill it. Then have 1000 lbs back there! I have been thinking of a Freedom trailer but can not find interior dimensions to know what it actually is. I am sure it should work for...

    Looking for large Cargo trailer

    One of my hobbies is sailing remote control sail boats. My largest boat has a sail bag that would need the interior of the trailer to be 6' X 3'. I know this is huge for pulling behind a spyder, but the weight I would put in it would be minimal. Anyone know of anything this large or should I...
