• 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.

    Heim joint is still clicking, what should I try next?

    Thank you @Mikey I will try that since it only lasted a day. Bummer for me! Any idea what size/lb I should get?

    Heim joint is still clicking, what should I try next?

    Thanks for the help boys! Greased all three sides per the video and so far so good. My VIN doesn't show as being part of the recall, but silicon spray below the pedal helped for now. The only changes I made was changing the Ufit from factory linkage 3 to a 5. Thanks again!

    Heim joint is still clicking, what should I try next?

    Thanks for the reply! I'll check that out when it cools off in a few hours. The shop that did the installation checked "everything" again for me. Now the brake pedal won't spring back! Gotta love those guys....

    Heim joint is still clicking, what should I try next?

    I know there's been plenty of very informative posts regarding the "click" issue, but I need a little more data. I started hearing the click after about 120 miles on my new sway bars. It was easily located per Ron's previous post about having someone stand on the pegs and rock the bike. I...

    A couple of days at the Tail of the Dragon

    I agree. This may be a good excuse to get the toy hauler I've been stalking online. I'll DM my contact info.

    A couple of days at the Tail of the Dragon

    It sounds like a blast. October weather would give me a chance to ride my Spyder for more than 30 minutes at a time. I see there are tons of lodging up there too. Google maps shows it as a good 15 hours, but is likely take time to go see Ron, and some other folks I know out there.

    A couple of days at the Tail of the Dragon

    I think this community needs to have an outing there. I've never been to that area but from the photos I've seen it looks absolutely beautiful.

    My F3S tire is showing wear after only 2000 miles.

    I'm not sure if it's all locations, but one tire outlet in my town had no issues putting them on, they also had every possible cone adapter too. I didn't buy certificates, or any warranty, the mounting and balance was included... tire disposal fee is non-negotiable though. $141.00/Tire plus tax...

    Rear tire mileage - How are you people getting 10,000 + miles on Kenda tires?

    BRP recommendation is likely based on contract language with the manufacturer, very common practice in these agreements. From what I hear from my former colleagues, Kenda was/is well positioned for "mass" producing tires for the Spyder platform. I'm guessing the bid volume on this RFP was thin...

    This... What Peter wrote needs to be a sticky response on all tire questions. Well said @Peter Aawen

    Lighting project started... 3 days ago! Anyone had any voltage issues with TricLED lights?

    Maybe you could DM me your contact? No response on the generic support address after two weeks.

    Lighting project started... 3 days ago! Anyone had any voltage issues with TricLED lights?

    Side mirrors are unfortunately trashed. I couldn't get the wires properly run with one hand and removed them. The mirror finish was destroyed removing the LEDs and I cracked the mirror trying to repair it. Now the bike is sitting in the garage unsafe to ride. Lesson learned from this vendor...

    Taking a trip to windshield-land - what do you recommend?

    Glad to hear that! I had the same experience with my skid lid, much better experience.

    Thoughts on my first SS1000 with the Spyder

    @jdgretz, I've seen 29mpg on one trip with ECO mode on and calm winds. Other than that one trip, I'm usually around 25mpg or so around town. I don't speed, at least not excessively, but I'm very spirited riding around town. It's still better than my other toys, and I'm sure that when I do an...

    Catastrophic Damage at 2026 D3WR - any suggestions on transporters to ship an F3 home to NC?

    Well said! I'm in Waco so I can go to DFW or Austin, about the same distance for a CanAm dealer. I use a local shop that sees very few Spyders, but they do have one mechanic who's the "Spyder Guy". He's very competent and detail oriented. If he leaves, I might have to look elsewhere...

    Doing some Toy Hauler Research - Anyone have any info or experience with these?

    This is a helpful thread for me. I'm somewhat considering a toy hauler, albeit a Super C or A. I've seen several loading videos describing similar issues with ramp angle and coach/trailer height. I hope you find what you're looking for and report back. Until owning a Spyder, I always thought...
