• 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.

    Best Trailer For Hauling Spyder

    I have never scraped a fender using the 6 ft. wide trailer and I am 76 years old, but each to his own! So if you feel you need a 7 ft wide trailer get one, I think going to 12 ft long would be an advantage! Remember, the lower to the ground on your trailer is an advantage also! You still...

    2008 GS Thinking of purchase

    On my third Spyder and do not run high test gas! I have always run the cheapest gas in mine with no problems ( 10 percent ethanol). I don't use high test gas because so few cars use it today that your chance of getting some with water in it is a highly good chance! I tied to buy it for my...

    Best Trailer For Hauling Spyder

    Just go buy you a utility trailer that is 6 feet wide and at least 10 feet long with a gate on the back. You can get one for around $1200, and then get you four short (12") 2x6 boards and put them in front of your gate when loading and unloading , so the pieces of wood will raise up the Spyder...

    2008 GS Thinking of purchase

    First, I would not consider buying anything under a 2014 year model with the 1330 engine. There has been so much improvements on the Spyder since you owned one, you will not believe it unless you ride both! I have owned a 2013 RTL, a 2016 RTL, and now a 2018 F3L, and I assure you there has...

    Big Harley News

    One thing about Harley, they have Dealers, parts, and Tech's to fix them! I never had to wait for one of my harley's to get serviced or repaired! The Dealer didn't have to call the manufacture to get permission to fix it! In the 3 Spyders I have owned, there has been a wait time to even get...

    Spyder Club for North Georgia?

    Hi, WE live in South Georgia but have a place in North Georgia mountains near Cleveland, Georgia. We are up there some riding our red 2018 F-3 Limited. We are planning on going to the Spyder rally in Maggie's Valley next week, maybe we will see you there. I wished we lived closer, but we have...

    How to Mod 2020RT riding position to be closer to F3- any ideas?

    Yes, but you are not comparing apple to apple! Look at a F3 Limited Edition and compare it to your new RT Limited! You can't compare a $15,000 F3s to a $29,000 dollar RT Limited! Go ride a F3 Limited with a larger windshield on it and then compare the two! As you ride off with no pain in...

    How to Mod 2020RT riding position to be closer to F3- any ideas?

    Just go trade the RT for a F3 is the only way to stop the pain! I rode a RT Limited and my hip would get out of joint and be painful! I had two RT Limited in a row and both of them caused me hip pain, even when I added foot pegs further up! I didn't learn fast, so it was expensive to keep...

    What size Ramps to load Spyder onto trailer?

    First of all, you need a trailer at least 10ft long and 6 foot wide! A 6 by 12 ft would be even better! When I load my 2018 F3 Limited on my 10 ft trailer, I have very limited distant between the front of Spyder and the rear when the tail gate is closed. I place two 6 inch boards on each side...

    where to find a cover for the F3 Limited with the rear top case that actually fits

    I also have the Nelson-Rigg half cover to use when I am on a trip! I have the 2018 F3 Limited and it fits over the top case easily!

    Looking for F3 - after comparison/feedback on F3/RT comfort?

    Yes Sir, I have owned 2 RT Limited Editions and now I have a F3 Limited edition! The F3 Limited is a better handling Spyder, and you can adjust your leg positions! My RT Limited Spyders both made my hip get out of joint, causing pain while riding! Sometimes i even had problems getting my...

    Another dealer dropping Spyder Line

    Does anyone have a true number of Spyder dealers in each state? I bet BRP would not let us post something like this because it might help people know where to buy one and also where you could get it serviced, etc!

    Another dealer dropping Spyder Line

    Now so many Can Am Dealers are dropping the Spyder line, I wondering where to keep my Spyder or put it up for sale and go back tp two wheels! Can Am need to work on setting up Dealers to handle their Spyder line up! My nearest dealer is 115 miles away! Don't know if you can even sell one...

    2018 RT LIMITED SE6 Reverse won't select - any ideas?

    Yes as stated above it is probably the left hand control module, my 2018 F3 Limited has already had two left hand control modules put on it and one right hand control module put on! I tried to encourage BPR to change suppliers for these modules, but no one up there seems to be listening! When...

    If Honda built a better tryke, would you buy it ??

    I think I would buy any brand that would get me away from the poor Spyder dealers and from the slow response from BRP! Spyder reliability (#10 on a scale of 10) and the poor service that most Spyder dealers give along with their high price per hour to work on our Spyders, just sometime make me...

    F3-S belt adjustment

    I had a 2013 RTL and the next one was a 2016 RTL, and now the 2018 F-3L. Only had the problem of running the rear wheel in 1st gear and locking the brake down on the F-3L when I was adjusting the belt. Other may have had problems doing the RTL's, but i did not! Hope this helps!

    F3-S belt adjustment

    Belt sound like it may be correct, over here we say the width of a credit card off the flange at the rear tire. Most new Spyders come in with the belt running against the flange, so it may have changed, but I set mine at a credit card width away from the rear flange! Be careful adjusting the...

    87 gas

    I run only 87 octane in my 2013 RTL with the 998 engine, and in my 2016 RTL with the 1330 engine and now in my 2018 F3-L with the 1330 engine! No problem al all with any of them!

    Tire balance

    Sometime you have to have the front tires trued! Very few tire shops still have an old trued machine, but will it solve most vibration problems with the front tires! They actually cut some rubber off the high points on the tire making it round! A trued tire will get more mileage than one that...
