• 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.

    The Honda DCT would be an awesome addition. They really got that one right.

    Grip Options - 2019 F3L

    When I got my last motorcycle I replaced the stock grips with Kuryakin ISO grips. I just sliced off the old ones and glued on the new ones - easy peasy. That does not seem to be an option with the Spyder. I really have no use for heated grips, but I wouldn't want to slice any wiring trying to...

    New to Can Am...

    A 700 mile trip the first time on a Spyder might be nerve racking. I wish she would have taken the training course first. Take it slow with lots of breaks.

    Steering... whaaat?

    When I read your post, my first thought was that could have been me. I have been riding 2 wheels for over 5 decades, so, assuming there was nothing wrong with the trike, I have a pretty good idea what happened. You started drifting right and your body automatically made the correction. The drift...

    Paint Job

    Mine looks a bit lighter than yours, but that could be the lighting. If yours is a 2019, it could be. My paint looks fine, just not my color. Not surprising that other people like it.

    Paint Job

    I am sure some of you have had a complete re-paint on a Spyder F3L. What were some cost estimates for a top quality three level paint job - no fancy pinstriping or other enhancements. I really want to change the color of my ride. Baby blue just doesn't do it for me. Thanks.

    Need a New Grill

    Bringing my 2019 Spyder F3L home for the first time, my motorcycle muscle memory kicked in at an inappropriate time. I relaxed as I was pulling into the garage. Barely moving, my feet went down and I reached for the hand brake. Of course the Spyder just kept on rolling and hit the front wall...

    Ball Joint Recall?

    I was informed by my dealer of a recall to inspect the ball joints. They were inspected and pronounced fine. Anyone have any more information on this recall? I have a 2019 F3L. Is there a place I can a find a list of recalls for my model?

    For the life of me, I cant figure out how to remove a bolt

    Its not a bolt, its a pushpin - i.e. a plastic rivet. There are a number of these on the Spyder. Not sure why these have a Phillips head, when others do not. Maybe its supposed to be turned 90 degrees after insertion.

    Battery Charging Connector

    I understand the difference between a maintainer and a charger. In this case, I accidentally left the ignition on and the battery discharged to the point it won't turn the starter. - 11.5 volts. So in this case I need a charger.

    Battery Charging Connector

    Hi everyone, My 2019 Spyder F3L has a wire hanging loose in the Frunk for charging. With its cover removed, it has one electrode exposed, with the other recessed. I have a charger, but it only has those big alligator clips. Is there a way to use this charger with that connection - an adaptor...

    Installing Baja Ron Sway Bar

    I am slowly getting used to my new 2019 F3L, but I still find it squirrely. I don't know if I will ever get comfortable with those off camber turns. They really tighten me up and there sure seem to be a lot more of them than I remember on my motorcycle rides. Anyway, from the comments on this...

    Tall Windshield hurt mileage

    Range has never been an issue for me. None of my motorcycles could be relied on for a 200 mile range. I had a Kawasaki 750 that went on reserve at about 100 miles. That did not stop me from touring on it - just need to plan ahead. Even with my Goldwing I would fill at about 150 miles. By that...

    First Service at 600 miles?

    I just bought a 2019 F3L and got the 600 mile service recommendation as well. I made the first service free as part of the deal. Also, they will pick up and deliver the vehicle.

    Pulled the Trigger

    Well, I finally did it. The dealer was offering what I thought was an excellent price on their last 2019 F3 Limited so I finally joined the Spyder owner club. Due to arthritis and age, I know I have to give up on two wheels. I have only been out twice, not counting riding it home. Here are my...

    Decided to Pull the Trigger

    Well, I have decided to make the switch to 3 wheels. I will be buying a new Spyder soon. I have pretty much decided on the F3 Limited, though the RT Limited is not yet out of the running. I would like to hear any recommendations about what I should have the dealer add beyond the basic setup. I...

    Transition from 2 wheels to 3

    I want to thank everyone who took the time to respond with their experiences. I have not decided to transition yet, but I have signed up for a class in a couple of weeks. The closest I could find is about 60 miles away. There is a good chance I will get one if the training goes well for me.
