• 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.

    Do I really need to replace front & rear Brake pads together? Is BUDS necessary?

    To answer the original question, no, you do not need to replace pads at all 3 wheels at the same time. I would recommend replacing both of the front wheels' pads together, though. Keeping the rear wheels' pads separate from the fronts. And, no, you do not need BUDS/BUDS2 to replace the brake...

    Transporting a 12V Battery by air - will TSA allow me to carry a battery?

    If you are sure you need/want a new battery, why not call the storage facility office and see if you can have a new battery shipped to their office, so it will be there when you get there?

    Show Chrome Fender Light wiring did not match harness colors!

    You will find with most aftermarket electrical items that the wire colors do not match the factory wiring. It seems that the only common color they all use is black for ground! As it should be.

    Fuse Block Receptacle pushed in. Suggestions?

    The safest thing to do would be to remove the frunk. It's not really that involved. There are 4 bolts on top, and 2 on the underside that need to be removed. If I remember correctly on your year, there are 4 electrical plugs to disconnect. On the left side, remove the clamp for the air intake...

    Has anyone decoded the inflation chart for the F3T rear shock?

    Not all that cryptic. Use the chart for pounds and psi. Example: If the driver is 200 lbs., and the passenger and cargo weigh 200 pounds, inflate the rear airbag to 70 psi. Here in the USA, we normally don't use Kg for weight, or bar for pressure. So the numbers you want to reference are listed...

    Anyone else have this RT-L whine noise issue? Any advice?

    I have a 2020 RTL that only made the whining noise after it was pointed out to me! After that, I could not unhear it. I replaced the front pulley with the white one, and have been noise free ever since. To be more specific, the noise was most notable at about 40-45 mph.

    2024 RT Ltd display shuts off - back to dealer!

    I used the Noco NLP20. it is much smaller than a stock battery physically. You must use the supplied spacers to raise it up for the Spyder clamp to hold it in place. Also, be very careful to put one of the included rubber pads between the clamp and the positive terminal. They are VERY close...

    Do you Need better brakes coz stock discs are twisted?

    If you follow the "bedding-in" process correctly, the EBC HH pads are an amazing improvement over stock.

    You're a long way from Sanford, but call Dave Raihl at Seminole Powersports. He's the #1 selling Spyder salesman. He will make you a much better deal on a 23...

    2024 RT Ltd display shuts off - back to dealer!

    I've had quite a bit of experience with these cheap Chinese batteries. BRP switched to these from Yuasa batteries during the covid years. Unfortunately, you will not get more than 6 months out of one of these reliably. That just happens to be the warranty period on the battery. If you have a...

    Anyone ever back-fed their battery maintainer thru a USB port?

    If you've added power ports for heated clothing, you can backfeed the battery charger through them if they're wired (and fused) direct to the battery.

    Is there any place that sells Used parts for Spyders? Salvage yards/junkyards maybe?

    You can look here, but you must be a registered dealer/broker to buy directly. However, you can get in touch one of the dealer/brokers that buy from this site and then buy what you want from them... https://www.copart.com/vehicle-search-model/can/spyder-roadster

    Nitpicking the 2024 RT

    I liked the new controls. The high beam switch is now where the former flash-to-pass/BRP Connect switch was. The big reverse button is gone, replaced by a more easily operated, smaller button. Rolling the throttle forward is the new "mode" switch. I'm still not convinced the touch screen dash is...

    Nitpicking the 2024 RT

    Saw a couple of new 2024 RT's Friday. Both were already sold and awaiting pick up. I saw two things I don't care for on them though. If you look closely at the top of the side bags, you'll see a triangle shape with a different finish. These are simply stuck on decals for looks. I wonder how long...

    Here be a newbie - with a bunch of questions about riding, twitchy handling, & brakes

    I agree with all the above advice, especially the relax part. If you are at all tense on the handlebars, everything your body does will be translated into the Spyder. In addition, if you feel that reaching the brake pedal is difficult, consider that the F3 has 5 possible pedal positions. If your...
