• 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.

    Droptail Traler Questions

    Are you using wheel chocks on the front? Is there enough room for this?

    Droptail Traler Questions

    I am thinking of buying a Droptail trailer to haul my 2016 F3-T. Is there anyone out there with experience with this trailer and a similar Spyder? What are the advantages and disadvantages? How well does the Spyder fit on the platform? Any problems? Please post pictures.

    Fobo tire pressure gauge on the airbag.

    Has anyone tried to use the Fobo tire pressure gauge on their airbag (RT and F-3)? If so, what are the problems, and how did it turn out?

    F3 or RT

    I have had both an RT and a F-3T. The F-3 has 1/2 of the storage capacity of the RT. Other than this, everything else favors the F-3. In my opinion, the F-3 is the best motorcycle BRP has made in modern times. The improvements are very impressive. For touring, I prefer to pull a trailer. This...

    2016 F-3 T Availability

    When will the 2016 F-3 T become available in dealer's showrooms? Will the SE6 follow the SM6 by 4 to 6 weeks as has sometimes been the case in the past? I have decided to buy a F-3 T. Now I must find one. It will be my fifth Spyder and presumably my last one (old age).

    250,000 miles

    I have been very lucky with my Spyders with little of the nightmare stuff reported here on Spyderlovers. The 2009 GS had the power steering replaced under recall. It also had the water pump replaced. The RT had the throttlebody replaced, I think, four times. It also had the instrument cluster...

    2015 Spyder

    This 1937 Cord is apparently the inspiration for the 2015 Spyder. Notice the grill.

    Car tire air pressure?

    I run 30 psi on all three tires. I have been using car tires since 2008 (four Spyders) and have tried various inflation levels. There is no "correct" answer. Do what feels right.

    Lamonster Garage

    The Lamonster garage is wonderous to behold. What a magnificent expression of creativity. This is a man-cave, combined with a commercial purpose, that every gear-head, man and woman, would want to have. It is near perfect. The selection of the building is brilliant. Lamont could not have done...

    New ST Owner wondering about break in.

    Forget the valve adjustment until at least 50,000 - 60,000 miles or more. Even then it is likely no adjustment will be needed.

    I have a problem…

    I have done this several times. Michigan and Florida have a reciprocity agreement. Michigan sends the tax it collects from you to Florida.

    Chinese Wheel Bearings

    Early in 2008 I discovered that two of the three rear wheel bearings in my Spyder were made in China. The country of origin for the third one (double wide for the sprocket) was the U.S.A. I was not comfortable with this and would have preferred that all three bearings were made in North America...

    Bad Saleman

    The drive belt is good for at least 100,000 miles. I had 116,000 on one of my Spyders when I sold it and the drive belt was still in very good condition. The belt is much the same as the one Harley uses (different length) and they expect at least 100,000 miles.
