• 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.

    Anyone Cut open a F3S muffler?

    Yes, I have done that surgery. It's been a while ago, so I don't recall if I kept photos. From the inlet, the exhaust enters a chamber the full dimension of the muffler by about 3" axial depth. Then there is a baffle plate across the muffler cross-section. There are two perforated pipes...

    Anyone with '20+ Spyders tried Front Fender Lighting fm ShowChrome & TricLED?

    We are in the process of adding a '23 F3-L to the stable. The trade-in is a '18 F3-L that had Custom Dynamics Brightsiders in both the side and rear-facing positions. We have other F3s with ShowChrome and TricLED lighting. SpyderDeb likes the output of the old Custom Dynamics lighting better...

    My Handlebars are slightly turned to the right. Any easy fixes?

    Having read through the thread, your fix was going to be my recommendation (as I had just completed the same on our F3-L preparing it for sale). When the wheels are aligned, laser or otherwise, everyone that I know uses the handlebars for reference of center. Disassemble/reassemble the...

    Lamonster Mini Floorboards Vibration/Buzzing - anyone else?

    I have used Lamonster mini's and now have the long foot boards on my 2018 F3-T. I do not notice any extraordary vibration through them. The OEM style of footpegs, which came on your F3-S, had rubber facing where one's foot rested on them. Likely, you had vibration before and didn't notice it...

    Is Changing the rear sprocket possible?

    First, thanks, Peter, for explaining a search method: "rear sprocket", for me, did not yield useful information. r.e. changing sprockets. The on-board electronics, ECU, TCU, etc, are generic until a VIN is coded into the system. The VIN can be changed using a Megatech license, no? So if one...

    Is Changing the rear sprocket possible?

    Change rear sprocket from 79 to 89 tooth on 2023 F3-L I tried to search but didn't find any significant result. Can the sprocket and belt be changed without the nanny complaining? I know about ECU flash and throttle body manipulator thingies. I want to change the gear ratio back to the F3-S...

    Anyone had Front Wheel Bearings wear out?

    I replaced a front bearing cartridge on my 2015 F3-S, not due to bearing failure but changing out the spindle. I was trying to troubleshoot a brake run-out / wheel flange run-out. But the bearings were good. While chasing the run-out issue, as measured with a dial indicator, I found that flange...

    My '2024 Model Reveal' Review

    Before I read or watch any review, I check the credentials of the individual or firm providing said review. Then I can decide on the validity or truth in the review. Some just want to be an influencer. Others want to generate a revenue stream. With a join date of 2018, the reviewer has likely...

    Survey : who has had the newest (recall) front sprocket fail?

    If one reads the data for Loctite 648, the cure is dependent on material (in this case steel), gap between fitted parts, and temperature. 50% cure strength is achieved in 1 hour @ 22C (72F) with a gap of 0.05mm (0.002"), with 90% strength @ 24 hours...

    HHC (Hill Hold Control) - what am I doing wrong? Why won't it work?

    I've never heard of the HHC or read it in the manual. I have an electronic version of the 2018 F3 Owners Manual and did a search for "hold" and "hill": both came up with no reference to HHC. The manual did go into length about starting and stopping on hills, using appropriate brake and throttle...

    Old Harley Rider considering a Spyder - load limit concerns?

    We have a GD Momentum 381-M. We are not full time RVers, so our space usage and requirements are different than yours. That stated, we travel with an F3-T and an F3-L in the 15' garage. I made wheel chocks and fabricated a super-floor tie-down to register, align, and tie down the two machines...

    Removing and re-installing the seat with BRP Backrest in place: How difficult is it?

    Why is this discussion in the F3 thread? Ya'll are describing seats that pivot: they were never on any of the F3 models. The passenger seat pops off via the ignition key turn. The rider seat is held on via two 10-mm headed bolts. Both can be removed with a passenger back rest installed. The...

    For those of you with them, what Sheepskin cover care do you use?

    We have Misty Mountain Sheepskin "pads". They have a liner on the back side like a tool box drawer would have: they just sit on the seat. They are stable while riding but they will blow off in a wind when parked. In the latter case, we tuck them in the passenger hand-holds or place them in trunk...

    looking for service - repair in Minnesota

    Another vote for Caswell Cycles, in Mora. When we lived in MN we rode the 90 miles one way for sales, service and to ride with them. There were 5 dealerships closer but Caswell was the best all-around dealer. Les and Kaye ride with their customers: real people and they have good people working...

    To kill or not to kill (switch), that is the question

    There is no harm in using the KS. Besides regular use keeps the contacts clean. In the event of a need, or inadvertent use, knowing immediately where it is located doesn't hurt, either. If you don't want to use, then don't. But your ways are not the ways of everyone on this forum.

    Windshield extension

    I have X-Screen clamp on touring sized extensions. They look a bit funny but do the job. Cold, wind, snow, sleet, rain...well, rain, you'll experience some water sliding up the stock wind shield and likely land in your lap.

    Review: BRP Go! is going...going...GONE!!

    You've provide no useful information other than to say you are smarter than us. The system came without documentation and absolutely zero dealer support. If there is no complete documentation on what it was designed to do, all you've done is adapt to what you discovered its limited functionality...

    Review: BRP Go! is going...going...GONE!!

    It doesn't matter whom developed it, BRP put their name on it; a company doesn't develop anything without people. It was release without any sort of quality control to validate performance. It came as an undocumented, unsupported software program, with out any dealer being able to support it...

    Anyone running or tried BUDS on MacBook (Pro)?

    Thank you hypurone and Jdr00ejr for your insight into Bootcamp. I'll give it a look vs bootable USB. Wayne

    Anyone running or tried BUDS on MacBook (Pro)?

    I searched this "BRP BUDS BUDS2 Shop Talk" forum and found one reference but no replies to the subject. My Windows laptop is old and slow. I've got a newer MacBookPro with a port adaptor/extender that has a full size USB "A" slot; it's also my travel computer. I've read that EaseUS, and perhaps...
