• 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.

    Short reach handlebar question

    I added some risers and had a similar problem. I used an "old-fashioned" fix. I took an aluminum soft drink can and cut strips to fit under the clamps. I placed the strips on a piece of wood and then, with a screwdriver or file (can't remember which), I struck/tapped it with a hammer to make...

    Need help identifying a possible missing part on my 2016 F3-T

    Hello, I am getting ready to sell my 2016 Can-Am Spyder F3-T. In the process of getting it ready and taking photos, I noticed that a part may be missing. It may have come loose and fallen off while riding. It is behind the attachment point for the left front swing arm and part of what is...

    Battery tender connection-where the heck is it?

    no hole needed I ran the tender pigtail around the outside of the frunk liner. There was no need to make a hole in the liner. You should be able to see it in the photo in my previous post.

    Battery tender connection-where the heck is it?

    Frunk I have a 2016 F3-T. My battery tender connection is in the frunk. It was obvious when I opened the frunk, as the dealer had threaded it over the frunk gasket. Since this caused a leak in the frunk, I rerouted mine around the edge of the frunk, so that the end of the connector sits in...

    Stage 1 Modification?

    Hello, My 2016 F3-T runs pretty hot. When this was a problem on my Harley, I had a Stage 1 modification done on it (replaced the catalytic converter-containing pipes with slip on mufflers, installed a high flow K&N air filter, and did a remap/reflash on my ECU). Does the Spyder dealership do...

    F3-T Drifting Slightly to the Right

    Arggh. No I did not realize this. I may have discovered this in the process, but thanks for alerting me to to this fact ahead of time. What I probably will do is let the dealer do this when I get my 3,000 mile servicing done. Thanks again for the heads up

    F3-T Drifting Slightly to the Right

    Yes, I do I do have the stock Kenda tires in front. Perhaps if I swap the right and left front tires I might get a clue about what's going on. What do you think? I would assume that if it were the tires, swapping them would result in my drift moving to the left. if it's the alignment, it...

    F3-T Drifting Slightly to the Right

    Hello, My F3-T drifts slightly to the right when I set the cruise control and release my hold on the grips. I am pretty sure it's not due to the crown in the road (I have tried it in the middle of the road, etc.), unless Spyders are ultra-sensitive to grade. I have a BajaRon Sway Bar and have...

    Adjusting Shock Preload on a Stock Spyder F3-T - Is Spring Compression Necessary?

    Thanks Thanks for your response. I have installed a BajaRon sway bar which has worked wonders for the handling of the F3-T. The ride seems a little stiffer, so I really would like to loosen up the preload a bit and see if I can get a somewhat softer ride.

    Adjusting Shock Preload on a Stock Spyder F3-T - Is Spring Compression Necessary?

    Hello, I would like to reduce the preload on my stock F3-T shocks. I plan to jack up the front end to allow loosening of the two nuts at the bottom of the shock. I was wondering if that is all I need to do in order to use the shock spanner wrench to loosen the lock nut, lower the adjuster...

    Jacking up the front end on a 2016 F3-T

    I want to adjust the shocks on my 2016 Spyder F3-T. I have been looking a floor jacks, but even most of the "low profile" ones look like they would have trouble getting under the Spyder. Also, I am not quite sure where on the Spyder I would position the jack for lifting. This can't be done on...
