• 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.

    In search of an Ultimate Trailer OHT3 designed for hauling Spyders - any input?

    I have a 14' V nosed enclosed trailer w/drop down ramp that works perfectly for the Spyder.

    Any problem transporting a Spyder RT (2015) on Flatbed without wheel chocks.

    IMO you should be ok with just straps. I used both straps and chocks in my enclosed trailer. Just a bit of extra peace of mind. Chocks are inexpensive and easy.

    Random thought for the day

    I can't find the picture at the moment but several years ago, after our son moved to Tennessee. We were visiting him and his family; we went on a picnic at a nearby park. A river ran through the park and there was a large sign posted near the water's edge. NO Swimming Snakes That sign...

    After owning 3, lack of dealer support is forcing me to give up on Spyders!

    87 and 92 and still riding!!! My hat's off to you guys! Especially you Gerald! 87 and considering going back to two wheels? Wow! I'm nowhere near that age, yet, but I'm still on two, three, and four wheels. Ever thought of buying a convertible? We have a Mazda Miata soft top w/six speed...

    Springtime Pre-flight Inspection - don't skip over the first brake fluid change!

    As I said, do a search online as to how to do this with a meter.

    Do you use Color Correct O-rings?

    I bought the Can-Am/XPS kit for my F3 and all the O-rings that came with it matched up in color to the OEMs.

    Springtime Pre-flight Inspection - don't skip over the first brake fluid change!

    You can also test your brake fluid's moisture content using a multimeter, this is actually how these pens work too. Do a search and you'll see how to do this. I have a testing pen along with a number of multimeters. Both methods work.

    Seat latch won't open - any new ideas?

    Such a stupid way to do things! I just don't understand why BRP adds complexity to a system that does NOT need to be complex. As we ALL know, the more complex a system is, the more of a chance that it'll break at some point. KISS Keep It Simple Stupid! Mechanical cables connected to the...

    Does your Phone Charge via BRP Connect's USB Plug/Cable?

    The glovebox USB port can source 2.1 amps @5vdc which is 10.5 watts. I'm quite sure that the GPS chip in the phone, along with the aps mentioned, are not going to draw more current than it takes to charge the phone's battery.

    Looks like the 2024 F3L gets 5 position heated grips?

    If the '24 manuals are anything like the previous years, just because something shows up in the manual, does not mean that it's on your Spyder.

    F3 w/aftermarket bags needs a cover - any thoughts?

    This cover fits my Spyder perfectly. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GXFQ7H9?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_5

    Does your Phone Charge via BRP Connect's USB Plug/Cable?

    If you're plugging your phone into the correct place on the Spyder, and your phone is not charging. The fault could be the cable that you're using. If the cable isn't 'up to the task' no charging will take place at all. This is the cable that I'm using for my iPhone 15 with the Spyder, and it...

    This is funny and I just now read it to my wife, knowing EXACTLY how she would reply, and she didn't disappoint me. ;) "If you would have put it back where it belongs, I wouldn't have had to move it."

    BRP side boxes locked, no key, any ideas?

    The key doesn't fit the side or rear bags. What are you doing about starting the machine? Does the key fit the ignition?
