• 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 did you do to your Spyder today?

    Looks like that middle track could be a bit bumpy on the 3-wheeler. We went on a day trip covering covered bridges here in PA. We probably crossed a few of these with the missing middle track. I never liked these on the 2-wheeler either.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    You are right about needing to relocate the front camera. I'm also getting a bit of glare off the windshield. The is still plenty of light around the backup up lamp. I wonder if the download speed is closely related to the speed rating on the micro-SD card. I'll have to see how that works. It...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Completed a new dash system. Here are a few photos (hope I uploaded them correctly?). It has a 7" display, 2 cameras, TPMS, Apple Car Play, GPS, wireless interface to download photos & videos etc. Now to get accustomed to these features (but not distracted while driving). :unsure: - - -

    Wireless, Bluetooth, & Camera "fun" - (But not via BRP Go/Connect)

    Thanks. I'll have to experiment with different power-up sequences.

    What is this Mystery Wire under the seat going to the trunk?

    It does have an antenna. This wire goes up to the middle of the rear trunk. But perhaps it snakes over the the antenna.

    What is this Mystery Wire under the seat going to the trunk?

    I removed the trunk to run a wire through to a rear-mounted camera. I removed the trunk but hadn't removed the seat on the 2021 F3 Limited. I removed that heavy ground-wire-looking strap bolted near the back. Then I reached in and disconnected that large connector with many leads/wires. There...

    Does this Ultra Plus Full Synthetic 10W40 oil work for our Spyders?

    The key is, just change it regularly according to specified intervals. Oil discussions always go on-&-on every time it comes up in discussions. Note however: Every time I change my oil, I can hear the difference in the engine and transmission sounds. That sound change gives me the satisfaction...

    Buying a new helmet - who replaces them every 5 years per manufacturers spec??

    Not surprising to hear manufacturers make this type of statement. Note that mattress makers say you should get a new mattress every 2 years. But I'm sleeping find ... so don't wake me every 2 years... :)

    Wireless, Bluetooth, & Camera "fun" - (But not via BRP Go/Connect)

    I gave up on BRP bluetooth on my F3 other than listening to music from my phone. Since my wife wants to enjoy the ride out in the open without music, I really don't use the BRP bluetooth much. But here's my newest BT adventure: I had been using a handlebar-mounted rechargeable camera with SD...

    I think ours is called Iceberg Blue. Appears to be slightly lighter blue then mineral blue.

    Gas cap won’t unlock - any suggestions to help?

    I think there is a liquid lock lube of some sort that comes in a little squirt bottle/can. It's probably mostly graphite. You may need to let it soak for a while. I hope you get it open (or have already got it open)!

    New Old guy - introducing myself and my 2015 F3S!

    Welcome - I'm 71, sold my Shadow, then my Goldwing... now I'm a Spyder-lover with an F3 Limited.

    Display randomly switches from color to monochrome (and back) - anyone else? Any fixes?

    Thanks! It was set to "Automatic". I'm not sure where the sensing is done to switch automatically. But I got more (or less) sensitive recently. I changed it from automatic to dark. Hopefully that will leave it alone. I had scanned the manual several times but had not found where it mentions...

    Brooks Powersports in PA - reviews wanted - anyone had any experience with them?

    I purchased our new F3Limited from Brooks a couple years ago. I also took it back later to have them add the sway bar. My experience has been very good with them.

    Display randomly switches from color to monochrome (and back) - anyone else? Any fixes?

    The display on my 2021 F3 Limited now switches back and forth between color and monochrome. I may complete a ride in color but other days, it will switch to monochrome for a while, then eventually back to color. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Checking oil on F3... How tricky it can be?

    Perhaps it was translated from French? Eh? 🙂

    Damaged a Rim on my F3L when we hit about a 4" rock that slid off of a rock wall by the road - afraid to ask what a new rim will cost!?!

    Thanks. I will certainly keep an eye on the shock. (y)

    Checking oil on F3... How tricky it can be?

    More confusion? If this is for real "Let the engine idle for at least 20 seconds, up to 10 minutes" that would make checking much easier if we only wait 20 seconds. However, apparently letting it idle for 11 minutes will cause a mis-read of some type? :eek::ROFLMAO:

    My '21 F3 Ltd is Pulling to the Right - any ideas on what to check next?

    Actually way worse than OEMs. They were Vee Rubber VTR-350 Arachnid Touring. Never, never use these!!!

    My '21 F3 Ltd is Pulling to the Right - any ideas on what to check next?

    It appears to be bad tires causing this. Everything else checked out. Changing tires cured the problem.
