• 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.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    At my wife’s request I took off the BRP armrests I installed shortly after buying my trike and put the original grab rails back on. At least she’ll get the heated rails back now that the weather’s getting colder.

    Would appreciate any advice on Spyder General Maintenance Costs?

    I thought the older 998cc engines did require periodic valve adjustments and only the newer 1330cc motors use hydraulic valve adjusters. I could very well be wrong though...just what I thought I remembered reading somewhere.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Finished installing my Elka stage 5 shocks (front & rear). I started the work last weekend and today was spent getting all of the body work back on. It was an easier job than I expected but still tedious, mainly due to removing all of the body work so you can get to the upper bolts on the...

    HowTo: Installing the LED Headlight/DRL/Signal Upgrade from TricLED/SlingMods

    I have the same LED assemblies on my 2023 F3 Limited going on a couple of months now. It's only been dark enough for my morning commute the past month or so. When I first installed them I didn't use the spacers and they were definitely too low. I had to take apart the front of the bike again to...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Installed a power cord for my GoPro camera. Just tapped it off the customer accessory socket my Garmin cable already uses. I love Wago terminal blocks, made it very easy to add the second tap. I only had to remove the left side small panel and the ignition cover. I should get my Elka shocks...

    If you want a cat delete, Monster tune, etc better buy it now

    Outside of requirements on models coming into the state from the factory, there are no annual smog checks on motorcycles nor trikes in California. There are restrictions on bringing motorcycles/trikes bought out of state into California but that's usually a matter of ensuring it has high enough...

    Got a PedalBox, getting VSS Fault & Limp Mode msg - any ideas/fixes?

    Thanks for the tip. I bought mine at the end of July. I’ve already initiated a return on it (PB Pro) and I’m getting the PB+ instead. I’ll make sure to do the programming on the PB+ in the manner you posted.

    Got a PedalBox, getting VSS Fault & Limp Mode msg - any ideas/fixes?

    I suspect my Limp Home fault might be related to the bike checking something every few start-ups since it seems to happen every 10th start-up or so (not exact numbers...I'll have to double check over the next few weeks). It's also possible it might be ground related and I'll double check that as...

    Do you use motorcycle parking spaces?

    I only park in car spaces unless the motorcycle parking is just a generic, large parking area. If the motorcycle parking is striped for individual bikes then no, I won’t park my Spyder there since I would end up using 2-3 individual motorcycle spots.

    Questioning wearing Ear Plugs while riding

    I don't know about other brands but Earpeace plugs come in a keychain case so you would be less likely to lose them (I have lost a few over the years when taking them out, dropping them, and then being unable to find them unless it was in my garage). I use a slightly larger cylinder keychain for...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Installed my heli-bars (thanks Troop!). For some reason my right side bar didn’t want to slide in all the way (even tried lubricating it with oil) so I had to use the old rubber mallet to tap it in. Not like I plan on removing it anyway. ;)

    New to me - which Spyder?

    Like others have said, at your current budget you're probably looking at a used Ryker instead of a Spyder. I just made the switch myself a little over a month ago. I came from an R1200RT-LC and Energica Ribelle. I rented an F3-S for a week and test rode both F3 Limiteds and RT Limiteds (with my...

    KUDOS to the folks at SENA

    I’m glad they stepped up. I think this mainly reinforces the old adage “you catch more flies with honey than sh*t”. I’ve been a SENA user ever since the 20S first came out (I’ve upgraded to newer units every time I’ve bought a new helmet) and while I’ve no real complaints, the resolutions to...

    Did a little experimenting with MPGs

    On my F3 Limited I've found that my MPG is in the low to mid 30's when cruising around 65-70. 80+ cruising drops my MPG down to the low 20's. I don't spend a lot of time riding around town so I can't speak to my sub 50's MPG.

    Questioning wearing Ear Plugs while riding

    A second vote for Earpeace plugs. My first 20 years of riding was spent without wearing ear plugs then I had a friend of mine talk me into wearing a set during a ride and I've worn them ever since. I found that not only was the elimination of wind noise more relaxing on longer rides but they...

    What's the Best camera choice for 2019 RTL and 2023 S2S; & mount point?

    I use a Sena 10C Pro on my daily commute. If I were to buy another camera, it would likely be the 50C model so I can get Sena Mesh capability (my riding group all use Senas). I don't know yet if I'll use a camera on longer rides but if I do, I'll likely go with a GoPro mounted using a RAM mount...

    Is there a list of F3 changes through the years?? What were they?

    At some point the top case for the F3 Limited went to the LinQ system. I found this out when trying to follow videos for removal of the rear trunk which reference a couple of bolts to be removed. My 2023 uses the LinQ knob for easier removal.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Adjusted my TricLED headlights. Used both spacers to raise it up since they were aiming too low without any spacers. This morning was my first time riding in the dark since buying it. I did break one of the tabs in the left side panel air scoop where the foglight covers screw in (I’m using the...
