• 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.

Sits for 30 seconds everything clicks off (dash, headlights, taillights) connect charger and headlights come on again but nothing else. I just...

    Headlights on when battery charger is hooked up. Why?

    Strange thing going on. I have my spyder up on lift. It was working and started just fine 2 days ago. Installed new airbag. Wanted to test everything before I reinstall shock. Turned spyder on to start and it’s dead. Checked connection real quick all good. Checked volts and it’s dead. Must have...

    How does 3” rubber fernco cap protect airbag?

    Rigid or rubber pvc would not matter. All 3 inch PVC plastic pipe is 3 inches interior. That us universal. The thickness of the pipe (outside diameter plus 3 inches) is 3.625. That’s the same on plastic and or cast piping. There is only 2 inch pipe which is 2.625 for cap/ or coupler or 3 inch...

New 1/4 line and new brass coupler to fit into manifold. I was told since I live on gravel road and travel a lot of tarchip roads to put a 3”...

    Has anyone found & installed Brighter rear-facing lights on their F3L?

    Sounds dumb but when we have to rebuild our combat fighting robots for battle bots on the fly between bouts, we solder and coat with hot glue then tape and simply rub hot glue melted with tip over the tape. Almost Same as heatshrink

    Just had Recall Sprocket fitted, now it's making noises - any ideas?

    I was just going to say the same thing Ron said. When I originally had my intermittent sprocket replaced, I had to completely take the belt off and wash it. The front sprocket was so clean it was squealing like a pig. I live on a dirt road so didn’t want to spray belt or use much grease to...

    Is airbag needed with aftermarket shock? How to fill airbag and leave set?

    I see it now! I assume this is the longer bolt needed! So fernco goes on bottom and the hole is for this bolt.

    Is airbag needed with aftermarket shock? How to fill airbag and leave set?

    I am replacing the airbag. I have read and been told to put a fernco in as added protection since I live on gravel road and tar chip areas. I was told I need to buy a 1/4 or 1/2 longer bolt. First question, does the fernco go under in #1 or ontop #2? I assume under. But why do I need to drill a...

    What's the best belt tensioner? What are you using?

    I have Lamonster's updated roller on the OEM kit he originally sold. I change out the roller every time I change the rear tire. Heads up, his old 1065 roller has been out of stock since early June. Still in production. His new red metal arm and roller is in stock. I called and receptionist said...

    Is airbag needed with aftermarket shock? How to fill airbag and leave set?

    To place a fernco cap under airbag or replace airbag, does the rear tire need removed? The shock will be off since I’m installing a new one. The entire saddle/seat unit will also be removed.

    Is airbag needed with aftermarket shock? How to fill airbag and leave set?

    Spoke with Larryd. Very knowledgeable and informative. Thanks Larry! So I can sort of have an attack plan, I am going to check compressor first, then “checkvalve” then air bag assembly. First figure out which part needs replaced. Will test everything with air and soapy water. Hopefully this will...

    Is airbag needed with aftermarket shock? How to fill airbag and leave set?

    I have on order a new M2 SHOCK for the rear. (2 up and for trailer hitch) I was in bighorns mountains on a very fresh tar chip road that had “not” even been rolled yet. I felt the rear end getting softer. I could hear chips or stone getting shot out of the belt too. That’s another story. Belt is...

    Deadwood 3Wheel Rally, 2023 - Getting ready to leave!

    Wet? We got here Sunday and that storm that came through last night at 11 was hail, wind and easily an inch of rain. We went through Badlands on way out. Stayed on the bluffs before entering park. I have never seen mini lakes and standing water in Badlands. I think south Dakota is soaked this...

    Huge thanks to Netzley for deactivating DESS!

    Was at the SE OHIO rally. Nice time. Out of the blue with no warning, I go out to start my Spyder for a morning ride and the DESS key warning comes on. Won’t start. Disconnected battery and tried again, same error. Grabbed spare key, same error. She would not start as soon as I hit the ECO...

    Anyone else had Tricled sequential fender turn signal failures?

    Technically they don’t have to warranty anything after 12 months. It says it specifically on their site. After 12 months, if it starts to flicker or turn off in order to get new ones it would be full price from any other company. All three of mine were after 1 year so for 3 new sets for $60 I’m...

    Anyone else had Tricled sequential fender turn signal failures?

    The $20 covers a replacement set of lights too, so it’s about 1/8 the price of getting new ones. My very first set lasted forever (3 years) but they were not the sequential. When they changed to the sequential my next set needed replaced in 1 year. I’d get 1 inch sections flickering and...

    How many quarts of coolant for the 1330?

    I know I can but to be honest, I have been all over out west Up/down and all around with the BRP orange coolant and never had any problems even on those 103-105 days days and even sitting on hot payment out there. For $50 it’s a pretty cheap date compared to oil etc. I will be pulling a mini...
