• 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.

    New Coolant will not circulate after refill, completing successful flush and change - anyone else? Any ideas on what might be causing it?

    Well, I did a coolant flush and change today. I cut the Oetiker clamp and disconnected the lower radiator hose to drain the original coolant. It appeared clean, orange, and with no noticeable contamination. I then filled it with distilled water, ran the engine without the pressure cap until...

    RT insulation deterioration... Yuck and Wild! Anyone else??

    Good point. When the time comes, I'll likely replace it with the lightweight foil faced insulation to keep the heat down. Thanks

    Is adding cruise control to a 2015 F3 as simple as changing the switch block?

    @CloverHillCrawler, the first time I had to pull all that stuff off was to add a USB power outlet. I wired it directly to the battery, so that I could charge it without the engine running. It's certainly not intuitive how the cluster and all the topside bodywork comes off, but once you've done...

    RT insulation deterioration... Yuck and Wild! Anyone else??

    My 2015 F3S has the same issue with the foam insulation. I just try not to touch it when I have the panels off. I suspect eventually it will get so bad that I have to remove it all. Did it make a big difference in mechanical noise when idling or riding?

    Buying used - 2015 Spyder F3-S - is this milage/usage a concern?

    If it's clean and no damage, I'd start in the $10k range. I found my nearly immaculate, 9600 mile 2015 last fall for $8k, but I think I just got lucky.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Finished the clutch assist install. The only part I bought from BRP was the solenoid, as the rest was just hoses and a check valve. I cable-tied the solenoid to the back of the ECU bracket instead of using screws, as there is very limited access. It reduced the clutch pull from 14# to 9#, which...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Picked up the solenoid to add clutch assist to my F3S. I pulled all the bodywork off to do the install, and decided while I have it apart I'm going to flush the coolant and refill with Peak Final Charge PRO series coolant. I have all the front and side bodywork off, and I'll be cleaning up all...

    Our next toy? - Check out this Kawasaki concept

    A 150cc engine suggests it's an internal combustion engine running on hydrogen. There was no mention of a fuel cell in what I read.

    Is Running Diesel Oil in Your Spyder such a good idea?

    The important part is heeding the API specs recommended by the manufacturer, as those ensure compatibility with seals, bearings, and piston ring materials. That said, manufacturers absolutely have other considerations besides performance and longevity when specifying oils. These low viscosity...

    Is Running Diesel Oil in Your Spyder such a good idea?

    That's an interesting theory, and I generally prefer to stick to the same oil in an engine over time, I think the gradual change may cause problems with conflicting additives. I'd rather get the old oil out as much as possible and make the switch in one oil change.

    Is Running Diesel Oil in Your Spyder such a good idea?

    Lake Speed Jr., The Motor Oil Geek, is probably the most knowledgeable person on earth when it comes to lubrication. I watch his videos often, and I never fail to learn something. I watched that video a couple days ago, and the issue is diesel oil necessarily has much higher detergent levels to...

    It has a small piston engine running on hydrogen. Just carry a spare jug of hydrogen and you'll be fine. 🤣 Who can tell me if a hydrogen truck gets heavier or lighter when it's loaded? ;)

    2015 F3S Oil Pump Failure, replaced, engine still ticking - any ideas on what component/s might have been damaged?

    What oil were you running when you had the failure?

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    No idea if the heated grips are the same diameter, but if they fit, they'd probably insulate the heat from reaching your hands.

    Any Way to disable VSS/Traction control or severely dumb it down?

    BUDS has a dyno mode to allow for testing, but as soon as the front wheel speed exceeds a few MPH it disengages. That does give me another idea though, perhaps disconnecting both front sensors would allow it to stay in dyno mode, but would likely need to be re-engaged after every start cycle...

    Any Way to disable VSS/Traction control or severely dumb it down?

    I'm still looking for a way to selectively disable traction control and VSS on my 2015 F3S SM6. I haven't found a way to do it with BUDS or the Dynojet PV4. I'm thinking of the possibility of adding a switch to connect the rear wheel speed sensor to one of the fronts, making the ECU think the...
