• 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.

    Is it possible to do a DIY reflash on an F3?

    I'll post my impressions when I get the chance to run some tunes. It might be a while, it's below freezing outside right now. :yikes:

    Anyone tried wearing prescription goggles under a full helmet? Recommendations?

    I bought my wife and I Sena Outrush R helmets. These include Bluetooth communications, integrated sunvisor, and have slots in the interior that accommodate glasses pretty well. They do run a little small, I ended up returning my large for an XL, and my wife went from a small to a medium, but...

    Is it possible to do a DIY reflash on an F3?

    I just ordered a PV3 from Fuel Moto. They have a great promotion going this week, and they offer tunes and support when you buy from them. Hope we get some warmer days to try out some tunes. :clap:

    Anyone here added an oil pressure gauge? What gauge, & where?

    Another member asked about this, so here are links to the parts I used. https://order.ebay.com/ord/show?orderId=20-12191-56960&purchaseOrderId=20-1219-156959#/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CT8S9XFJ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title The transducer mounts in the oil pressure test port at the...

    Oil Pressure Warning light stays off before cranking, normal or not?

    Thanks BCNewell. I searched a few ads with video, and that's the behavior I've seen in a few other F3's of similar vintage. It just seems odd that the warning light would not be on before starting, when there's obviously zero oil pressure. Every other vehicle I have seen with idiot lights has...

    Anyone here added an oil pressure gauge? What gauge, & where?

    Pics of my gauge installation. I don't particularly like digital gauges, but I wanted something unobtrusive. This one is inexpensive, water resistant, and looks decent on the bike. I milled a flat spot on the handlebar mount, drilled and tapped countersunk holes and used flathead SS screws to...

    Help Needed - F3 Air Intake Modification

    Wouldn't drilling holes there let more hot air into the airbox? And most filters flow from the outside in, so that would let unfiltered air bypass the filter.

    Help with adjusting belt tension & alignment please? Any step-by-step guides?

    Newtons does not convert to lb/ft. Lb/ft is a measurement of torque, while newton is a measurement of force. 775 N converts to 174.23 lbf, which is pounds of force not torque.

    I just ordered BUDS w/ Megatech license.

    Is it OK to post a link to the vendor I bought from? I am having a bit of trouble connecting to my Spyder. The software runs fine, the green USB light is on, and it connects to the MPI-3 interface, but the CAN connection to my Spyder will not connect. I get the No module recognized error, and...

    New Spyder sold with no factory warranty - is this right? What say you all?

    Wow, that's a nasty and underhanded thing to do, especially if not disclosed to the buyer. :banghead::cus:

    2011 Rear Wheel Static Balance - do it with hub & sprocket fitted, or without?

    Thanks Peter, I have the machine tools to make whatever adapters I may need. Knowing the general configuration of what's out there would make the design process easier.

    2011 Rear Wheel Static Balance - do it with hub & sprocket fitted, or without?

    I'd love to see some pics of your setup for balancing the rear wheel. I have machine tools to make whatever I need, but would like an idea of what's being used currently.

    2011 Rear Wheel Static Balance - do it with hub & sprocket fitted, or without?

    Since we're on this topic, what is the method for mounting a Spyder rear wheel on a tire balancer? I have my own tire mounting and balancing equipment, and I usually do all my own work. I'm hoping that removing the wheel bearings from the hub would allow my balancer shaft to slide through the...

    Potential Ryker Buyer - concerned about the Understeer? Any ideas?

    Do the passenger pegs have switches in them??? MY F3S has a switch under the passenger pillion, which I thought was the only passenger sensing employed.

    Are there any Bluetooth Tuners available for Spyders?

    I talked with DynoJet. There is a PV4 for the Spyder. It's the same unit as for the Maverick. The only trouble is that there is currently no wideband O2 sensor compatible with it. They are working on it, and expect one to be available sometime in the future. I'm holding off on purchase until...

    Anyone considered towing a Cargo Trailer with their Ryker?

    I put together a trailer almost identical to this when I had my Miata. It allowed for a couple full-sized suitcases, which wouldn't fit in the tiny trunk. I got the 40x48" trailer from Harbor Freight or Northern Tools, and a rooftop carrier. It worked great, and I've seen 120mph with that...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    I did a little more tweaking on the toe. My handlebar was a little off-center, and it took a couple tries to get it right. I made a few toe adjustments and test rides. Zero toe and 1/16" toe out both resulted in a bit of instability at speed, as well as a bit of understeer. I ended up with...

    Anyone have experience with Ultra1 Plus 15W50 oil for their 1330? Opinions?

    I changed oil to the 15w50 Ultra1Plus synthetic. I got a noticeable boost in oil pressure across the board. It now goes a bit above 50psi at startup, and once warmed up it drops to about 15psi at idle. Of course, ambient temps have been in the low to mid 70's, so I expect it to be somewhat...

    I just ordered BUDS w/ Megatech license.

    Wanting to adjust my alignment, and seeing that the steering angle and torque sensors should be re-calibrated afterward. I do all my own maintenance and performance mods, many of which will require BUDS, so I went ahead and bit the bullet. Hopefully it will be here in a couple weeks. I'll also...
