• 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.

    New video on Banks Power on the Pedal Commander explains what the unit does vs claims FYI, not meant to bash any users or vendors.

    H&R springs have arrived - pondering getting them powder coated. Thoughts?

    Let us know how they work once installed?

    Looks like the 2024 F3L gets 5 position heated grips?

    If it can be retrofitted to the earlier models like my 2022 F3S it would IMO actually be "considered" as a handle bar warmer. I had the on/off version installed by the dealer and they are almost useless compared to the skidoo handlebar warmers.

    What experiences have you had with Lithium Batteries?

    I haven't bought a liFePO4 yet but when I do it will be from a US manufacturer like EarthX or Antigravity who have built batteries for colder temperatures and are used in sleds etc. If looking to buy one look at site specific info not generic internet info. If it was built for your application...

    Shock Absorber Technical Questions - is Damping the same as Rebound? & more!

    Troop is correct in how the compression dampening works with the knob on the reservoir for stage 3 Elka and the stage 4 Elka and stage 5 have the rebound dampening screw at the bottom of the shock rod. https://www.elkasuspension.com/spyder/stage-4/ For a verbal explanation you can check out...

    Looking for 'increased load' shock suggestions - 2023 F3-S

    Thanks Dennis, I will go with the Elka 3 for the front only because they have the compression adjustment, if I think I need to do a tweak to find the sweet spot and this is a step up over the KYB not adjustable that it came with. The Elka 3 are 6-8 weeks behind on delivery from order date if...

    What stage of Elkas did you have on your Limited?

    Looking for 'increased load' shock suggestions - 2023 F3-S

    Just heard back from Accelerated T and they do not carry an in house front spring package for the F3 so I will probably order the Elka Stage 3 through them and see what they recommend.

    Looking for 'increased load' shock suggestions - 2023 F3-S

    If you want some free info look at the accelerated technologies site: they have several videos explaining how they set up the different rides based on a number of factors. None specific to the Spyder. I asked them via email if they have a spring package for the front of my 22 F3S but haven't...

    Sherwood Park/Edmonton to Sandpoint Idaho and return

    I missed your post earlier but I am sure we can hook up next summer for a couple of rides. I am also interested in upgrading the front springs/shocks. I have an inquiry in with accelerated technologies to see if they have a dual spring package for our F3S or a stage 3 Elka package? Both...

    First sled ride for this season, Fernie, BC

    Yes we drove by it, I think there are some bigger ones out there now.

    First sled ride for this season, Fernie, BC

    We drove down from Edmonton to Fernie, about a 6 hr. drive and spent 3 days riding their trails. The trails were groomed but icy(marginal new snow). We saw a few families and at least 50 machines on the trails. First 2 days were 80km/50m each as we didn't know the area. The last day Dec 29th...

    Have you had an ECU Flash? How long did it take? Any good?

    I am not aware that the MFI flash will do anything for the shifting up or down other than raise the rev limiter to a higher number. Mine hasn't been flashed but 22 F3S, up and down shifting is manual (electronic on the left handlebar) except that it will shift down if you are coasting to a stop...

    Electric Spyder next?

    The planet has some built in safeguards like the Polar current that flows up the West side of Africa across to Greenland and down the East side of North America that stores and freezes C02 and methane in the form of hydrates just off the continental shelf. Natural occurring volcanoes can put far...

    Discussing Throttle-by-wire, throttle response, and Pedal Commander 'improvements'

    A couple of years ago, the trail skidoo riders (Renegade, MXZ models) didn't like doo's electronic throttle because it was tooooo twitchy for a lot of them. Sooo in 2022, Doo changed the throttle from electronic to a cable that goes to a module (variable resistor?) that sends the signal to the...

    Electric Spyder next?

    We have a company in Alberta that has a pilot project that was successful in extracting lithium from the formation water of a produced/producing oil reservoir. They are trying to go commercial but that is still years away. Some day down the road and beyond we will move to new/old sources of...

    Electric Spyder next?

    Don't tell anyone, but nuclear waste can go back in the mine that it was originally mined from. Huh! I worked as a summer student for Eldorado Mining in 1967 in Uranium City, Sask. The mine is in the granite formation of the Canadian Shield and the mine had a vertical elevator and many side...

    Have you had an ECU Flash? How long did it take? Any good?

    Good to hear that you are satisfied with Stage 2, I will leave a note to Santa under the tree and see if gets me a Stage 2 tune before Spring.

    Rides like a snowmobile

    While you're at it; did you check the bushings etc. on the A arms and the rear assembly to see if they are tight or worn and sloppy? I don't have a name for reference, but the Skidoo guys refer to several shock rebuilders in your neck of the woods that can re-valve to suit your weight and...

    Electric Spyder next?

    Like I said in a previous post enjoy what you bought but calling anyone who disagrees with your superior choice an "EV hater" is a bit much in my opinion.
