• 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.

    Admore Smart Brake Light Bar on an F3-T?

    It works just fine on my 2017 F3-L Hello Newbert: I researched the Admore Smart Brake light system a year ago, along with Gear Brake and Vololight. This is discussed in a couple of previous posts on SL. The latter two companies both advised me that their product was not recommended for the F3...

    BRP a front for AARP?

    150 Since my wife an I ryde together most times, perhaps we should answer according to our combined ages = 150 (as of June 2018). That will push the average higher, but perhaps is justified because of her tendency to dictate just how, when, where I should drive the Spyder. Any resulting...

    Break-light flashes when downshifting?

    Had my dealer do it for me when in for my first oil change. Relatively simple job for them, getting into wiring system, and no additional pieces to buy other than what Admore supplied when I ordered the light directly from them. Simply handed my dealer's tech the box, told him what it was meant...

    2016 F3 Limited with F4 Customs windshield

    believe you'll be very happy Hello Bobster: 'Proper' windscreens are a very 'personal comfort' issue. All that being said, I believe you'll be very happy going with an F4 21" shield. The F4 provides the calmest, quietest riding environment in my personal wind screen survey. I am 5' 10" and...

    Break-light flashes when downshifting?

    This was discussed a year ago on a thread I began: http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?106863-Design-help-for-additional-brake-warning-light-please!! You might want to have a look; several possibilities were discussed - Gear Brake, Vololights, Admore and a design in development...

    Ultimate seat...Tall or Mid-rider

    Wayne: I am your height, stocky build, average (I believe) arm length, currently using OEM stock handle bars. I had given some thought to possibly using 'short-reach' bars, but have so far not done so. Have been ryding my 2017 F3 L in position # 4 after not being totally happy at # 3, and...

    “Survey Says ...”

    Two mid-70's active seniors here. We basically split our time between S. Ontario (7 months, April-Oct.) and FL (5 months, Nov.-March). Our ryding pattern is much the same in either place: #2 - day trips, 80% two-up, 20% solo, on back country roads enjoying the scenery, looking for interesting...

    Fuel range

    Billy: My ryde is a 2017 F3-L; we're both in S. Ontario, so ryding conditions are likely fairly similar - although I do ryde winters in FL. I have been over 400 km (250 miles) on a tank several times, and never put much more than 25 L, or maybe 6-1/2 US gals. in when I refill. So, there is...

    COULD SOMEONE PLEASE

    Many Thanks Much gratitude to Spyder601 and Peteoz for pointing out this cover. I had checked Nelson-Rigg previously, but must have missed this one. My error. Thanks for helping improve upon my visually challenged state (the photo in the ad is somewhat deceiving; appears to be used on a Spyder...

    COULD SOMEONE PLEASE

    ... create/develop a light-weight, waterproof, full-size, economic, travel-type cover for the F3L/F3T with topcase and side bags. There are lots of folks on here apparently looking and asking, so there should be a sizeable and waiting market for any manufacturer who chooses to respond. I have...

    Corbin F3 t seat arrived today and it does not fit.

    Likely no need to panic. I'm assuming the Corbin seat is the one with the two flat bars which should lock it into position. If you take a pair of Vise-grips, you can bend the bars slightly toward the pan; that should allow them to slide into position and pull your new seat down into place. You...

    Cover for f3 with back seat and box

    AY4B... there may be a possible solution. You can likely find an aerosol can of 'waterproofing spray' at a store that sells camping gear. Just give your cover a light spray-over; may take a second coat in places. I have used this on my boat cover to stop leaks; it helps. Good luck.

    F3T shifting question

    Not quite correct...or at least it is possible to have a brake light which works on deceleration alone, without using your foot on the brake pedal. See, for example, the Admore 'Smart Technology' brake light...

    Found one thing don't like of 2018 F3L

    experiment a little JG: You probably should try experimenting a little with your front tire pressure: work your way up or down between 15 and 20#. Find what feels best for your style of ryding. Just keep both fronts at the same level as you experiment. I wound up somewhere around 17#. I believe...

    F3T shifting question

    Perfectly OK I'm with Peter and the others ... go ahead and enjoy your downshifting/engine-braking. I'm ryding a 2017 F3L SE, and I do much like you ... I manually engine-brake from 6th down to 3rd, then let the Spyder do the last couple of down-shifts by itself. When needing to decelerate, my...

    F3t mirror vibration

    Me Too Gotta add my Thanks, zuni. This is one of the few aggravating things I have found about my F3L .... rattling mirrors ... all because of the sloppy fit of little plastic pins on a (nearly) $40K (CAN) machine. Great to learn there is an easy fix. Quick, cheap and effective - it works...

    WOW

    Congratulations Hey JG: You made the right decision. Glad your first real ryde went well, and you're back home excited and safe. Bit of a wet, miserable day outside right now, but the sun is supposed to shine again tomorrow. Let me know if you want to go explore some area roads. Roger

    Which F3 model?

    The 2017 and 2018 F3 L have auto-adjusting rear air suspension; no further manual control possible or necessary.
