• 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.

    Red Dust of Death Recall???? Front Sprocket Recall - FINALLY....

    I had the Sprocket Recall done this past Tuesday. An hour and 50 miles later, back at home I inspected the dealer's work. The belt tension was waaay tight and there was no gap between the belt and the driven sprocket's flange. See photos. I called the dealer's service manager and told him of my...

    Anyone got Pics of a Spyder on a 6x10 trailer?

    The trailer has been around for a long time, so I don't recall the model. A search on Aluma's site will get you to what they now make in a 6x10.

    Anyone got Pics of a Spyder on a 6x10 trailer?

    Here's my 2018 F3 on a 6'x10' all aluminum trailer. Plenty of room forward to rear and enough clearance side to side. Hope this helps you in your quest.

    A small Safety Mod to our 2022 RTL with a big improvement!

    I've got Dave's button and pad. Due to my fondness for Anti-Slip material, see post 37, I added anti slip to the Turn Signal button. For me, wearing gloves (ATGATT) it's now even easier to find the button. I really appreciate the excellent feel for the switch's -center- to cancel. The shift pad...

    A small Safety Mod to our 2022 RTL with a big improvement!

    What I do to create more friction on the Turn Signal and the Cruise Control buttons is to add small pieces of 3M Indoor/Outdoor (aka Safey Walk) Tread.

    F3L Parking Brake locking on - any advice?

    In 2021, on my 2018 F3L, I had experienced the intermittent parking brake hang up problem several times. Fault codes popped up. Fortunately, I was able to release the brake by pressing the brake button several times, and or, turning the trike's ignition on and off and cursing. Searching for the...

    Is 2022 F3-L rear tire removal the same as RT-L?

    The removal of the brake caliper, axle and tire is essentially the same procedure as the RT-L. On my 2018 F3-L, the mud flap removal is quite different than the RT. I remove the side boxes and the muffler to gain easier access to everything involved in changing out the rear tire.

    Shifting Issues - F3 won't always shift out of 1st - anyone else?

    This fall, the left hand control module (aka as the left hand -switch-) on my 2018 F3L (17K miles) had similar issues as yours. A call to my dealer about the problem resulted in BRP covering the replacement module under a "Good Will" warranty that covered parts and labor. This is a well...

    Thanks for the photos and their explanations! People helping each other to solve problems. Yes, that is a Delphi connector (I've have to get the tool, or two, to release the pins). When the problem was first recognized here a few years ago, I took the back cover off of the module as I was...

    Left Hand Module Replacement on F3 - anyone DIY?

    Duck: Thanks for that terrific reply! How long ago did you do this replacement that took so long to find the newest version of the module? And, did you ride it to the dealer for confirmation, or trailer it?

    Cooling fans will not turn on

    I experienced no fans last summer on my 2018 F3 LTD. It was the og relay that went kaput. I ordered these on Amazon and brought back the fans to humming: Song Chuan Relay for Polaris Sportsman Ranger 400 500 700 800 50A Relay 50 Amp, 4011141 (Pack of 2) Let us know if a relay solves your problem?
