• 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.

    Yellow triangle symbol with down arrow to the right

    Very old thread, but my 2019 F3-S with a paltry 8,500 km on it - I spend 10 months a year 6,000 miles away from it now - has thrown this warning symbol up. Is there a definitive answer now, please, someone?

    1330cc Gearbox failure - intermediate shaft broken...

    I agree with all this. I had a similar problem with a BMW R1100GS, replaced the gearbox and did a further 40,000 miles [91,000 in total, sold it at 95,000 miles]. I'm glad I kept the bike so long.

    Can anyone recommend a place for Servicing in Northern England?

    I am moving back to Yorkshire from Portugal next spring and will be riding my F3-S, loaded well up. Can anyone tell me the best place to get a Spyder serviced in the North of England?

    F3S needs Hard Side Bags - are BRP Shad bags the way to go?

    I have Shad panniers on my F3-S. They are great bags and look good in situ.

    Anyone had an F3-S Parking Brake fail?

    It doesn't need adjusting. I was asking whether parking with it on puts strain on the parking brake motor as a number have failed, or so I have read.

    Anyone had an F3-S Parking Brake fail?

    Has anyone on here had one of these fail? Particularly 2018 and 2019 models. Is it a good idea to leave the bike parked in your garage without the parking brake being engaged? This was suggested to me, and I can see how the cable is put under stress, but I don't see how the parking brake motor...

    Is the base F3 the sportiest model?

    Having done over 260,000 miles on two-wheelers, I have been surprised by how sporty my F3-S feels. It must be a match for an MT-07/SV650 etc.

    F3S needs Hard Side Bags - are BRP Shad bags the way to go?

    Your set-up is the same as mine. I got a deal when buying my 2019 F3-S new from Angel Pilot in Portimao, Portugal. Two BRP backrests and the Shad bags sorced from Shad, not Can-Am. I think they are superb panniers. Regards, Nick J

    Ryker Rally - can it rally?

    I ride an F3-S in one country, but I also live elsewhere for part of the year. I was considering a Ryker Rally for there. Are these machines reliable, please?

    F3 mono seat cowl

    Thanks for the replies. I am going to buy one. The small lockable storage compartment will be very useful. Plus they look good.

    F3 mono seat cowl

    Good news, OK-DZ9R. I am assuming it is compatible with BRP rider's backrest.

    Bad ecu

    I wonder if there was a problem with some of the early ECUs.

    F3 mono seat cowl

    Thanks, Gwolf, but given the seat only fastens on one side and the Seat cowl must do too, I was wondering how rattly it was. That's what I meant by loose.
