• 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.

    New Year in Utah

    Will be headed back up to Coalville, East of Park City this summer to ride with my brother. I ride an 2020 F3 and he has my old 2008 GS. Long ride from New Mexico, but plan on stopping in Moab this time. Break the ride into two days. Enjoy the New Year!

    Front tire balancing?

    Thanks for your reasoning! I agree on the sealant causing some of the problem when I first start out, but after tires warm up, I still have a slight vibration! I am going to remove sealant, clean the tire and find a place with more modern equipment and a skilled technician. As for the rear tire...

    Front tire balancing?

    I have a 2020 F3 basic with Vredestein Quatrac 5 tires on the front. When I had them balanced, technician tried to get it right with his balancer, but I question the trueness? I put American Seal in them and have a slight vibration when you let the handle bars go? My question is, if I can find a...

    On a scale of 1-10 - how difficult is an LED upgrade

    Yes, I agree with vario , I do not ride much at night, but having the extra lights will make it easier for drivers to see the front of the Spyder. Would suggest this easy upgrade for all for more visibility.

    On a scale of 1-10 - how difficult is an LED upgrade

    Ok, I have a 2020 F3 and just replaced headlights to LED and also added fog lights. LED’s came from Slingmods and fog lights from Lamonster. Fog lights on the F3 are a breeze, remove lower panels, plug and play! Adding switch can be a little time consuming due to key panel not coming off easily...

    998cc Radiator - solder or weld a patch in place of the bung (broken)?

    I did the same thing on my 2010 RT. Since your already pulling covers to get to lower radiator hose, pull out radiator and take it to a radiator shop. I did this and have had no leaks since, and can now drain radiator the way it supposed to work! Just my opinion, even with new radiator, you...

    Fitted Cruise Control on base 2020 F3

    Sorry, don’t have any pictures, but when I did my install, only had one wire to plug in. There are two wires running in the wrap going down to where it plugs in! Once you remove old switch from your handle bars, you will be able to see what I am talking about. Take your time, a lot of stuff to...

    Life expectancy of stock shocks

    Thanks for advice on stock shocks! See you have a Baja Ron sway bar, was it needed or just wanted? Cost worth the performance? I have a 2020 F3 basic, standard shocks and sway bar! I am a casual rider, maybe 3000 miles per year! Would sway bar make that big of difference? Thanks

    Lamonster PackRack

    I have a 2020 Spyder F3, basic model without passenger handgrips! I called Lamonster about their PackRack and checked to see if it would fit my bike. I was told that the PackRack was designed to use the hand grips as a way of mounting the Rack. Has anyone found a way of mounting the Rack on a F3...

    Question on Vredestein Tires

    Thanks for your input! The reason I called them was, they stated it would take 6-10 weeks to get them delivered to me, even when site says “in stock” will order and see if the delivery dates change! Thanks again.

    Question on Vredestein Tires

    Hello, I have been reading your posts on the Vredestein Quatrac 5 165/60/15 tires and how well they work on the Spyder. I live in New Mexico and have found that no one in my area sells them! Have contacted Tire Rack and was told they would not sell them to me to put on a”motorcycle”! Very...

    Fitted Cruise Control on base 2020 F3

    Yes, number 710004583 is still the same. Removing lower side panel easy, watch the plastic clip on top panel close to tank! Speedometer clip was not easy to remove, watch clip when you put it back together ( broke mine!) but still fits! The top panel just takes time, keep track of what parts...

    looking for can am tech

    I agree, good mechanics that know all about Spyder are hard to find. I also drive about 125 miles one way to dealer in Albuquerque. Well worth the trip, do not worry about work not being done correctly!

    Adding Cruise Control to 2017 F3 Base

    Thanks for the information. Was the pig tale on the switch as nice as the one we have to remove? Mine is a nice round black cord material.
