• 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.

    Your thoughts on BRP (DOOO) as a company to invest in??

    I also could not open the link. But having been a financial advisor before I retired and a current Spyder owner I would not buy the stock. As much as I love my Spyder BRP's customer service and dealer network is below par IMO. I don't know how they treat their watercraft, side by side, and...

    Any riders in NE Tennessee?

    I did get to meet one rider yesterday who is close to me. Are there any other riders in the tri-cities area who would like to respond? If so, send me a PM and I will respond.

    Is there a non-OEM Fuel Filter alternative for an F3?

    I purchased a fuel filter at NAPA. Number 86095. I believe it was a Wix fuel filter.

    Anything good to say about the Blue Ridge windshield?

    I would think that there would be a number of aftermarket shields. F4, Gustafson, and Madstad come to mind. My 2015 F3 had a Madstad shield, and I loved it.

    F3 owners - how does the rider's backrest mount?

    In the F3 Ltd there is no slot in the rider's seat. You mount the backrest between the rider and passenger seat. Mounting involves removing both seats for installation. Not a hard job if you are mechanically inclined.

    F3 LTD owners - how do you run wires fm dash top compartment to h/bars?

    I have a 2020 F3 Ltd. I drilled a hole in the front of the compartment and ran a cable under the dash. The dash will pull off. There are no screws holding it on. But then I found out the cable would not keep my phone charged. So I bought a USB charger from Amazon that has two USB ports and...

    How Wet have you ever been on your Spyder??

    Last year a friend and I were riding our Spyders from Lebanon, KS to Rugby, ND for the Smackdab center to center run. As we entered ND we ran into an inland hurricane. Steady rain and 35 to 40 mph winds. We had on rain gear but got soaked to the bone since we had to ride 3.5 hours in that...

    Any reason NOT to buy a 2012 RT Limited?

    Glenn since you live in Gatlinburg BajaRon’s shop is close in Greeneville, TN. Daniel is a great mechanic and can do most any kind of work. I would trust him over any dealer.

    Replaced the OEM battery on my 2021RTL (Pic)

    My Yuasa battery gave up several months ago on my 2020 F3 Ltd. No dealer in town so I went to O’Reilly auto parts and bought a Duralast gold AGM battery. Total cost with trade in of old battery was $122. I charged the new battery for 8 hours on 2 amps before installation. Very happy with the...

    Most amount of miles/KM you have ridden in one day on the Spyder

    I have ridden about 720 miles in one day twice. This was 5 years ago. Don’t think I could do that now.

    Any reason NOT to buy a 2012 RT Limited?

    I think you would be happier with a 2014 or later RT with the 1330 engine and SE6. Lower RPM’s and less maintenance. The 2012’s also do not have the Brembo brakes while the 2014’s and later models do. Hopefully you can find a 2014 or later RT that is within your budget.

    Will my 2024 F3T need a belt vibration damper?

    It depends. Some riders report no vibration with their Spyders and do not use a belt dampener. But others swear by them. Me? I have a 2020 F3 Ltd that had a belt vibration at about 55 mph and the Lamonster belt dampener solved it.

    Oil analysis @ 3 years & 9500 miles.

    Just a hint. I pay $20 per year for an Amsoil membership and get a good discount on all their oil. I use Amsoil in my pickup, my wife’s car, and my Spyder. I get the oil filters for the truck and car from Amsoil too.

    Is your Top case interior light always on with Ignition on??

    I have a 2020 F3 Ltd and my top case light is on only when my key is on. If the key is off the light is off. Hope this helps.

    Where is the Schraeder valve? 2020 F3 Ltd

    Nothing in the owner’s manual and nothing in the shop manual. I was just curious because my friend’s ‘22 F3 Ltd has a Schraeder valve under the passenger seat.
