• 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.

    Anyone other than BRP make a 2024 F3S Windshield? If not, why?

    Does anyone (other than BRP which has never been released) make a windshield for the '24 and up F3S? I cannot find one anywhere and even the ones BRP lists have never actually been available. If not, WHY?

    Tire search - what is everyone going to these days?

    Yes, they will fit the fenders on your S2S just fine. Have installed several sets on current generation RT. No rubbing.

    Is a BEST extended warranty a good idea? What's the process on selling your BEST warrantied Spyder?

    I stand corrected. I will say this is a major change to the terms the BEST contracts have had for many years. I just read mine and it cannot be cancelled after 30 days or after the first claim processed, whichever comes first. I have had 3 BEST contracts and they were all pretty much the...

    Is a BEST extended warranty a good idea? What's the process on selling your BEST warrantied Spyder?

    You cannot cancel and refund a BRP BEST extended warranty (other than for a short period after first purchased). They have always been this way. You must be speaking of some sort of aftermarket warranty plan. There is also no need to 'transfer' the warranty. It stays with the VIN when the...

    We have been selling, stocking, installing and riding the quality Yokohama tires for Spyders for over a decade now. Just great tires and MADE IN USA. Easy to find in the US and in Canada.

    Is a BEST extended warranty a good idea? What's the process on selling your BEST warrantied Spyder?

    There are no pro rated refunds on BRP BEST warranty extensions. The coverage stays with the VIN when the bike is sold.

    Got an Over heating warning at idle, went away riding - any ideas what could be wrong?

    Sounds like air in the system or coolant low.

    Is there a Code Reader for the Spyder?

    I bought the adapter cable and tried it with the 2 OBD readers and the full diag scanner I have and none of them would connect to my Spyder.

    Canyon Test Ride

    Canyon does not have the larger F3S Sprocket. Clearly visible in Lamont's videos.

    Any recommendations/suggestions on Cordless power ratchet options for Spyder work?

    Once you go red, you will never stray. Milwaukee for the build quality and the after sales support. Second to none. I no longer use any air tools in the shop as the Milwaukee electrics far surpass them and no hose to drag around.

    Battery drained after 3 & 1/2 weeks standing, cranking slow, and throwing VSS Error - is this normal? Any help appreciated...

    The NOCO Lithium has a significantly smaller storage capacity than the AGM that is specified for the bike. The bike will drain it flat faster than with the correct battery. Anytime the bike is not being ridden it will need to be on a battery maintainer if you want to use a Lithium battery.

    What 14" front tire recommendation for 2010 RT-S

    Bridgestone Potenza 165/65R14 is what we have been installing on the older Spyders with 14" wheels for years now. Good tire with good build quality.

    22 Spyder RT Brake issues - EBC Rotor larger than OEM & abnormal/uneven pad wear. Does any of this make sense?

    I still have the OEM original rotors on my 2015 F3S with over 100,000 miles on them. Been through the OEM pads and one set of EBC on the front, 3 sets of pads on the rear.

    22 Spyder RT Brake issues - EBC Rotor larger than OEM & abnormal/uneven pad wear. Does any of this make sense?

    The old rotors are from a 2012 or older Spyder and were the incorrect part.

    Does anyone know a 2015 F3's standing current draw?

    Key off, after the cluster and ECM shut down in about 30 seconds or so, continuous draw should be less than 20ma. 3 to 5 is more typical on an F3S that has no audio system.
