• 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.

    What would you choose? Spyder vs Ryker

    Completely different trikes, one is good for touring other is great for urban driving. Beside that, the relevant numbers (Spyder 1330 vs Ryker 900): 0-60mph: ~4.8s vs ~6s MPG: ~30-40mpg vs ~25-35mpg Coverage: ~249mi vs ~158mi Service: 9300mi vs 6000mi but then a base Spyder with a minimum set...

    Go Pro

    If your into high-end action camera, DJI will be hitting the action camera market soon (that might also be the last nail in GoPro's coffin). If your not in a hurry I would wait for their product... If your just looking for a nice and not so costly 4K action camera, look for the Yi brand, very...

    F3-S SE must haves???

    The stock rear shock is weak and not adjustable... I guess it's OK if you ride solo but not at all convenient for two up. For storage the SHAD side cases are one of the best options (robust, waterproof and will hold one large modular helmet each). Blueridge windscreen is OK but not 100%...

    Activating lowbeams for the F3 (Non US and CA models)

    European and Australian models are modified to comply with local general legislation. In Europe legislation will vary from country to country. Instead of customizing per country BRP adjusts the Spyder to the most restrictive laws and sells the same modified model across Europe. One of the...

    Is F3 two-up riding or Solo ?

    The frunk is not that spacious but it will hold a good size modular helmet there. Storage wise the SHAD side bags are the way to go. One of the reasons that made me choose the F3S over the F3T was the fact that the side cases of the T wheren't able to hold a full face helmet there. Each SHAD...

    Is F3 two-up riding or Solo ?

    F3S here since about 6 months, 70% of the time riding two up, all trips above 250mi. The trike is totally capable for two up ride. Except of course the rear shock which is a joke. Not adjustable and very bouncy (the tire hits the wheel arch very often). I've swapped mine almost after getting...

    South Portugal Route (EU)

    It's the statue of (not an easy name) Abu Alcacim Amade ibne Huceine ibne Cassi. He was a sufist, political leader and king for a very short time of the Algarve Kingdom (nowadays the very South region of Portugal). It is said that he was of christian origins (because of the name Cassi which is...

    Sway Bar Install In So Cal

    The ramps that I was looking at would give only 15 inches of lift (from the base of the wheels) so I won't get the job done with these. Will have to look for some another solution. Thank you for the reply!

    2018 F3S rear seat loose

    Could it be this? https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?117562-Passenger-seat-not-fitting-properly-(MY2018) The MY2018 passenger seat seems to be adjusted very loose from factory.

    Yep... I'll second that... Where all the fellows of the Old Continent can check their VIN number?

    Sway Bar Install In So Cal

    Have the sway bar but still haven't installed yet... I understand you need 22 inches of clearance to swap the bars, but if lifting the front by the wheels with ramps how high would the ramps needed to be?

    Best saddlebags for 2015 F3-S

    The SHADS are very nice and the mounts are barely noticeable when you take them off. Being able to store a modular face helmet was one of the reason I opted for the F3S instead of the F3L (which won't any on the integrated side cases). That and the "bobberish" look of the rear end that I love...

    Power steering question

    Ah... Might have to do with that then, which makes sense. Thanks guys!

    Power steering question

    How does it work while idling? Because sometimes I feel it's there and other times not (F3S MY2018)... Might have to do with the type of floor... It's clearly assisted when I'm maneuvering on the garage (epoxy floor) and seems I can't move it while on tarmac.

    Passenger seat not fitting properly (MY2018)

    Yes, BRP technical support sent me to the dealer. Which should be the normal procedure, nothing strange there. Had already discussed this with the dealer which looked at it and said everything was in place and secured. I did "fixed" it myself after talking with another Spyder owner (see my...
