• 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.

    Review: Install and first impression for Lidlox (helmet handlebar lock)

    I was wondering what that buzzing sound was in my helmet but no bees in my bonnet.

    Review: Install and first impression for Lidlox (helmet handlebar lock)

    I installed the Lidlox on my left handle bar; (22F3S) it took about 10 minutes and was very easy to do. My helmet locks to the handlebar with the T Bar going through the slide on the helmet where the chin strap ratchet is inserted to hold your helmet in place when riding. It is supplied with the...

    Why should I consider upgrading the shocks? What should I expect if I do?

    Check out my review if you like: Install and 1 st ride on the Elka Stage 2 spring and shock package on 22 F3S @ 2300 m. The F3S with the Elka Stage 2 is pricey but brings heavier springs (no bottoming), should be set for your weight, passenger weight and luggage to give you the correct ride...

    Has anybody heard any rumors on the 2025 Spyder Models? New line-up released!

    Adaptive Cruise Control came on my GMC AT4 and is a great way to keep traffic from flowing normally on a 2 lane hi-way because everyone slows down and you get a long queue. Another (safety feature) that is completely useless except for those drivers that are on their cell phones and not looking...

    2023 RT Engine Noise - I'd be hard pressed to recommend them!

    Warranty items have a tortuous path that usually requires the dealer to open a case file with BRP and the dealership follows the directions issued by BRP until the process is diagnosed and resolved. It is frustrating but it is not unique to BRP. Hopefully your problem will be resolved soon and...

    What's in your saddle bags and frunk?

    In the frunk: air compressor, small tools, rain suit, octane boost, bottle of water, owner's manual, and registration. In the mono seat cowl: small first aid kit, booster start pack, gloves, fire lighter, and a set of Torx wrenches. My Shad bags stay at home unless I plan an over-nighter or a...

    Review: Alberta Lithium LiFePo4 LFP 20L-BS battery - failed at 1 month?!

    My new LiFeP04 battery died after about a month in my Spyder so I replaced it with a new Yuasa 350 CCA, the same one as supplied with the new 2024 Spyders. I am disappointed in the LiFeP04 batteries early demise and am not sure what failed in the battery but when I got a no dash, no start the...

    Any pros or cons to running cat bypass with original muffler?

    I did not install the baffle that came with my delete pipe because it was a choke (calculated to approximately 23% of the flow area). The pipe without baffle was louder and popped and farted on deceleration, so I built my own baffles from plate steel (see my post.) and it took the rap and bark...

    You knew it had to come - there's a Chinese Spyder!

    If you look a little closer at the parts from Canada you will see that many are in fact made in China like the Kenda tires. FWIW

    Did you get the email about Electric Can Am two wheelers?

    I don't have any interest for a Hybrid or an EV vehicle of any type. I have an EGO chainsaw, leaf blower and string trimmer and many hand tools of various brands and although they are lighter and easier to use, they are not my first choice at this time. I find it hard to justify how burning...

    Will my 2024 F3T need a belt vibration damper?

    The manual for my 22 F3S says that 775N +/- 150N is the correct number but I don't work in N and the conversion seems to be 174 lbf with a +/- of 34 lbf. which would be 140-218 lb/f which might put your new belt in the top of the range maybe allowing for a bit of wear and stretch. I measured...

    Will my 2024 F3T need a belt vibration damper?

    I don't know about your 2024 F3T but my 2022 F3S has a factory belt vibration dampner and it is difficult to find. Run your hand from the back of the machine behind the belt guard (on the top part of the belt) towards the front; you can feel the roller on the belt. It quite close to the front...

    Any info/advice on successfully Tinting Lexan or Polycarbonate?

    Another option you could try is calling an automotive detailing shop; I have seen them applying various tints to glass windows that are a film precut to size and comes in a wide range of tints. You would have to ask them if the film would adhere properly to the back side of your polycarbonate...
