• 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.

    Help with adjusting belt tension & alignment please? Any step-by-step guides?

    Thanks for the responses but I went through many of the threads here on the forum with some back and forth on the subject but I picked up a kricket 2 gauge and I'm finding the readings do not make any sense, as they are off the scale exceeding 300 lb*force scale, doesn't make sense for how much...

    Help with adjusting belt tension & alignment please? Any step-by-step guides?

    It is not a false conversion. 775N does convert to 571 ft*lb. However the Krickets only measure in lb*force not ft*lb which is a different measure, that conversion is 174 lb*force. The issue is that isn't clean when people seem to talk about these numbers.

    Help with adjusting belt tension & alignment please? Any step-by-step guides?

    So here is the confusion I just bought the 2023 service manual. Under the belt drive system, it states the belt tension should be, with rear tire lifted off the ground, 775N +/-150N - that converts to around 570 ft/lb! There is no way those Kriket gauges would work at that, or you're setting you...

    Help with adjusting belt tension & alignment please? Any step-by-step guides?

    I'm in a similar boat. On my 2023 F3-S towards the end of the summer, I started getting a really bad vibration and sometimes a noise on the left side only at around 3900 RPM in the 50mph range, all after I rolled over to 3k miles. My thinking is that something's up with the belt - it either...

    Check out this Belt alignment tool - might help someone...

    These work great on chain bikes, because on a chain bike the chain doesn't move around like on a belt and it's more import for the rear tire to be inline with the front or you can have a very bad day.

    Can Am paint shows marks - any advice on removing them?

    Yes, the paint or I bet the clear coat they use seems to scratch very easy. I had my 23 F3S since last year and found even using a microfiber towel will cause scratches.

    Will my 2024 F3T need a belt vibration damper?

    I don't know when they started, but pretty sure all new Spyder's come with a factory BRP belt tensioner these days. My 23 F3s did, I however swapped it out with a Lamonster one since it's more heavy duty.

    What is this on the front wheels? A spacer, or what?

    Many Spyder owners, even with their tires perfectly spin balanced, still have vibrations coming from the tires/wheels. Could that be solved with premium tires or better rims? Maybe. However, many found slapping a set of Centramatic's on solves those issues without having to spend all that money...

    Is a replacement Lithium Battery the way to go? How have you installed yours?

    That's what I did. So for anyone else who find this post and want's to use the NOCO Battery (because I couldn't find any post on this), what worked for me was using both 15mm spacers then apply 3 of the foam squares to the bottom of the battery compartment that will get you battery almost...

    Is a replacement Lithium Battery the way to go? How have you installed yours?

    So I ended up buying the NOCO battery and dropped it into my Spyder today; and back to my original post, what have people done to secure the battery? My concern is that since the mounting bracket clips are a little long, there is no lateral support preventing the battery from shifting. I'm...

    Is a replacement Lithium Battery the way to go? How have you installed yours?

    It's a 2023 FS-S bought last March 2023. It has the factory battery which is the Yuasa. I ran it all Spring/Summer to around 4,000 miles. I stopped riding it around Late October 23; put it away in my garage with a Battery Tender Jr on it. Now it's 2024, I broke it out late March with some rides...

    Is a replacement Lithium Battery the way to go? How have you installed yours?

    My Spyder OEM battery may be starting to go; I've already gotten a few VSS fault codes on startup after pulling it off the tender now that the weather is breaking here in the northeast. So I have been looking for a replacement and I'm wondering if Lithium is the way to go? Lamonster sells the...

    2023 Spyder F3s - Any value in Pairing Helmet and iPhone to Bike?

    Just wondering if anyone finds any value in pairing their phone (for me, it's an iPhone) and their Bluetooth helmet (using SLR Mesh) to the Spyder instead? I should note that I don't plug my iPhone into the USB cable in the frunk, I find that it's just stupid they put that there; also, the BRP...

    Where can I buy Lamonster Brake Rods?

    If you haven't already ordered one from Lamonster, I'm selling a brand new one - Lamonster Brake Rod #4. I got it to try over my #3 but it stretched my legs out too much so doesn't work for me...

    Lamonster Mini Floorboards Vibration/Buzzing - anyone else?

    It's a thought but If I did have something going on with my feet or sciatica it would be weird that it only manifests just on Spyder with installed floorboards now. I ride other motorcycles and do other actives, with no issue, where you think that would also manifest as well. However, I'm not...

    Lamonster Mini Floorboards Vibration/Buzzing - anyone else?

    I took my Spyder in for it's first service, since it's getting cold here in the NE so won't be riding it much longer. I had the tech check the tires and belt, both of those came back a good nothing out of sorts there. Also, I can put my foot on the frame, the 3rd peg, or the top of the clamp and...

    Lamonster Mini Floorboards Vibration/Buzzing - anyone else?

    I picked up the Lamonster F3 Black Mini Floorboards for my 23 F3-S. After installing them I'm feeling some vibration on both boards. Seems to be equally all the time and it's enough to be annoying. I never felt anything like this with the OEM pegs and I also haven't changed anything else on the...

    Does anyone use Lamonster's F3 Brake Rod with Pegs despite the warning not to?

    Thanks, i have a few hundred miles after i added the lamonster rod it feels so much more natural to me this way. Just wanted see if others using it too.

    Does anyone use Lamonster's F3 Brake Rod with Pegs despite the warning not to?

    Thanks pete, sorry i missed understood. I believe their reasoning is at the bottom of their disclaimer, with pegs the angle of the break is on the same plane as peg, so you cant use whole foot on the break. You can only rock forward similar to motorcycle rear break. but with floorboards, they...
