• 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.

    Another dealer dropping Spyder Line

    Part of the issue may be what the dealer chooses to promote. Around here 4 wheelers are very popular and they can be used year around. Snowmobiles are also quite popular, as are personal watercraft. The dealer I referred to, does not have a lot of floor space and never had more than 2 Spyders...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Moving Spyder to storage unit today. Snow in forecast for the weekend. Hopefully we will get some decent weather after next weeks cold and wet so I can get in another ride or two. Storage unit is only 5 minuets from home.

    Wires should be under the seat.

    2020 RTL passenger heated grips not working?

    Is the button to turn them on staying depressed? Did they work in the past? If you have not used them before it is possible they are not connected, so if that is the case, check the wiring connectors.

    2nd Class Owner

    I recently upgraded from a 2009 RS to a 2020 F3L. I was happy with the RS, but wanted a more touring orientated ride. I was happy with the trade in I got for my RS and the Kawasaki Nomad I also traded for the new Spyder. I was looking at used RT and F3L and with the rebates and dealer sale...

    F3 sluggish takeoff

    How many miles? Could be that the throttle body needs cleaning, spark plugs or poor quality fuel. Might want to try some fuel injector cleaner, like Seafoam, and try that first.

    My impressions of my 2020 F3 Limited Dark

    Studded tires are legal in Iowa, issue is ground clearance and hard ice that builds up on the road makes even driving a SUV challenging during the winter. Some years I can ride into early December and than again get back out in March. But there is so much chemical de-icer on the roads that it...

    My impressions of my 2020 F3 Limited Dark

    I have the stock windscreen, and I don't plan on replacing it at this time. Seems to work fine for me.

    My impressions of my 2020 F3 Limited Dark

    I have a little over 1000 miles on my new F3L and am loving it. It is much smoother shifting and riding than my RS. It handles great, soaks up a lot of bumps. My wife loves the additional room and the passenger armrests. Fuel range is in the 200 mile per tank area, so I am happy with that...

    Favorite ride close to home

    Not a lot of curvy roads here in NW Iowa. But lots of county blacktop roads with very little traffic to ride. Riding along some of the small rivers is also nice. Pretty flat around here.

    BRP COnnect questions

    kissfan, thanks for the info. It works fine on my phone, except that the miles traveled is sometimes way off.

    BRP COnnect questions

    I have used BRP connect with Genius maps and it worked OK for me. Phone plugged in to USB. Phone will not be answering calls, but when I am riding I don't answer calls anyway. I set up the destination on my phone in advance and navigate to the location in Genius map on the dash, and start the...

    My new 2020 F3 Limited Dark

    I now have a little over 500 miles on my F3L and am really liking the ride. Rode about 200 miles today to have lunch with my brother in law, who has a Goldwing trike. Filled mune up and it got 38.8 mpg, which makes me very happy. Trip was all highway miles at 55-60 mph. Was a very...

    My new 2020 F3 Limited Dark

    Copper, I really am liking the riding position on the F3, nice to be able to stretch out in a more upright position. Was also pleased with how the windscreen creates a nice calm pocket for me. I thought it might lead to head buffeting. Did get bounded around by the crosswind, but that has...

    My new 2020 F3 Limited Dark

    MONK I know what you mean about the color being called Magma Red. It is definitely more orange than red. But I do like it in the Dark Edition. So much smoother and quieter than the RS. The wind was at 30 mph on the way home, held the road very well when in the crosswind.

    My new 2020 F3 Limited Dark

    I picked up my new F3 Limited today. Traded my 2009 RS and my Kawasaki 1600 Nomad. Incentives made it very affordable, after the trade. Had a nice ride home, about 70 miles. My wife enjoys the pillion and the passenger armrests. Looking forward to many fun miles.
