• 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.

    Left Hand Module Replacement on F3 - anyone DIY?

    Duck: Thanks for that terrific reply! How long ago did you do this replacement that took so long to find the newest version of the module? And, did you ride it to the dealer for confirmation, or trailer it?

    Cooling fans will not turn on

    I experienced no fans last summer on my 2018 F3 LTD. It was the og relay that went kaput. I ordered these on Amazon and brought back the fans to humming: Song Chuan Relay for Polaris Sportsman Ranger 400 500 700 800 50A Relay 50 Amp, 4011141 (Pack of 2) Let us know if a relay solves your problem?

    Do you think the installation of a thicker swaybar/metal endlinks was worth it ??

    Without a doubt for my 2018 F3L, especially as we ride two-up most of the time.

    Need help to fix locked Park Brake on an F3?

    On occasion my 2018 F3L wouldn't release the parking brake. It took many tries pressing the switch to finally release the brake. After reading about the problem here, and having a service manual, I adjusted all the slack I could get on the parking brake cable, ignoring what the manual states...

    Get a Battery Jump Start Port or a Power Brick?

    I have, and frequently make use of, Slingmod's Battery Jump Port. Makes it easy for attaching my battery maintainer clamps to. I thought it clever too, and it is!

    Not new but kind of

    I too had "aged out" of my 2002 BMW RT1150 in 2017. Bought a new 2018 F3 LTD, and have never looked back. I still have a V-Strom 650 that I still enjoy on occasion as I can still handle it's weight. Happy Trails to you!

    HowTo: Remote Garage Door Opener

    On my F3, I use 3M Dual Lock (a "super" velcro type fastener) to fasten my remote. Somewhat easily removed when I get off and walk away from the Spyder.

    Army Recruitment Ads - International Comparison

    56 years ago today (1966), I raised my hand and pledged to serve for three in the US Army. With enlisting, I could select a MOS (Military Occupational Skill) I qualified for. I did achieve that. NO WAY was I going to roll the dice and get drafted.

    2018 F3L Radiators at 10,086 Miles

    Why was your mod a failure?

    Grill removal and clean up. Radiators clean.

    I don't have any back side photos. I used black Gorilla Tape (a super sticky, and strong, type of "duct" tape) to secure the screen on the back of the grill in various places. You can see the black tape on the front side corners in the photos. These pieces cover up a cut in the screen to help...

    Grill removal and clean up. Radiators clean.

    The solution I found that works well for bug to radiator prevention on my F3, was to wrap black nylon window screen around the front of the grill securing it on the backside then remounting the grill. Annually, I remove the grill and clean the screen and wax/polish all the plastic behind the...

    Would these Wheel Dollies work for an F3L?

    * I have a set of four of these dollies, though not HF brand. They are good for moving four wheeled vehicles is their limit. * Buy Rhino Ramps or equivalent to get your Spyder high enough to change oil etc.

    Made the switch to F3L

    This video was made by a fellow member a few months ago. I think this is the F3 panel that you're asking about. Pretty simple and clever tool to make the job easy: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v7n8v1iuhfjjdnx/TopPanelToolUsage1080P.mp4?dl=0 Good luck!

    Found a simple tool to help me in the rain

    A nice find for any type of glove! Personally, I have three different pairs of HELD brand gloves, and all have the squeegee sewn in. Yes, the squeegees DO work to clear a face shield.

    Windshield pro's and con's

    2018 F3L here: I replaced stock shield with Lamonster's 15". Then I added the adjustable MRA X-Creen Tour Spoiler Blade. This combo works very well for me. No added turbulence to speak of. I wear modular helmet and ear plugs so I can't comment on wind noise. I think your body...

    Are you guys just putting the speed bleeders on the front and rear brakes, omitting the ABS unit?
