• 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.

    F3 Base conversion to 2-up - can I buy just passenger footpegs?

    I found a fairly good deal on a base f3 but it only has the mono seat cowl. I was looking on the can am site and only saw a "Two up conversion kit" that has a passenger seat and foot pegs. But I have seen this on other bikes and it doesn't match the look of the stock seat. So if I was going to...

    Do Older F3's have any reliability issues?

    I know bajaron gave some good advice about what to look for in buying used with such low mileage. Anyone else have any thoughts or experiences to share. Its local and they took it to a can am dealer close to my house for an oil change and inspection. I am having a hard time finding anything in...

    Do Older F3's have any reliability issues?

    There is near me a 2017 f3s. It only has 40 miles on it. They bought it new in 2018 and due to jobs and health issues just never rode it. So it sat in their garage under the cover. They said they just took it to have the oil changed. I am interested but also nervous that it basically sat for 5...

    Does the VSS Fault msg come up only at Start Up or when there's a problem?

    sorry most of post # 2 was about what a vis fault is... after re-reading it the first line is about lights showing up to show what the warning lights are. but as others have said it is not normal for it to display VSS fault unless there is an issue or at least and error. It an possibly clear...

    Does the VSS Fault msg come up only at Start Up or when there's a problem?

    I guess that is my question - Is a VSS message normal before you turn the Spyder on? Like with my car I can put my key in, turn the ignition on, and all the lights will show up; but when I actually start it everything turns off.

    Does the VSS Fault msg come up only at Start Up or when there's a problem?

    There is a local marketplace ad for a decent looking Spyder. In his pics is a pic of the display and it says VSS Fault. My question is, does that message come up at any other time such as start up or does it only come up when there is an actual problem? Thanks

    After advice on used Spyders - F3-S vs F3-T

    I sold my Ryker a few months ago with hopes to upgrade to a Spyder. I have a couple options in front of me, an F3-S and an F3-T, both from 2016. The F3-S is an SE6 Triple Black, the F3-T is an SM6 and red. I much prefer the black color and honesty really kinda hate the red/silver color. I also...

    F3S vs F3T Rear Shock Comparison ??

    What years F3T did not have an air shock. I could be wrong but i thought all f3t's had them but they were manual inflating instead of automatic like the f3L and RT's

    F3S vs F3T Rear Shock Comparison ??

    I am sure more knowledgeable people will weigh in but to my knowledge both the f3-s and the f3-t have sachs rear shocks. I dont know if they are the same shock. The f3-s only has the fox shocks on the front. The f3-t has the additional air suspension on the back that the rider has to manually...

    Can Am Experience is an Experience - Recommend you go if you can!

    i participated in one last year and had an hour ride on a base RT... and then the dealer let my take out a pre-owned f3L for a ride... it confirmed for me that the f3 platform was for me. It just felt better in the saddle and let me keep my legs further forward. Plus it was a hot day and the RT...

    Red Dust of Death Recall???? Front Sprocket Recall - FINALLY....

    i am looking at purchasing a used F3 and the seller gave me the vin... i looked it up and it does have the sprocket recall.

    Do Older F3's have any reliability issues?

    Thanks for the info... I would absolutely change all the fluids and check the tires. The owner bought it a year or so ago and moved/changed jobs and he has a commute with a work vehicle so he rarely rides it. He says he always kept it in the garage but i dont know anything about the previous...

    Do Older F3's have any reliability issues?

    Do Older F3's have any reliability issues?

    I’m shopping for an F3 and budget wise most of the F3's I am looking at put me in the '15 or '16 model years. Do those first year F3's have any reliability issues compared to newer models? Something that scares me a bit is all the electronics that are in the Spyders and I'm worried that age will...
