• 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.

    2023 F3 Ltd with no dual-USB outlet in trunk - did this change recently? Any info?

    Awesome! Thanks for the info Deanna! I found it where you said. I didn’t think to look that high in the case. I’ll test it out tomorrow to make sure it’s powered up.

    2023 F3 Ltd with no dual-USB outlet in trunk - did this change recently? Any info?

    I took off my trunk but there’s no USB outlet stashed anywhere underneath. I’ll likely order a generic outlet from Amazon and install it. I did notice that unlike previous years, my 2023 top case uses the LinQ system rather than the removal of the two bolts I’ve seen in DIY videos. I suspect a...

    2023 F3 Ltd with no dual-USB outlet in trunk - did this change recently? Any info?

    Thanks folks. Flamewinger, yes, there’s a hole where the USB sockets would be. Like Deanna777 said, there’s just a blank cap covering the hole. Deanna777, thanks for the confirmation that I’m not the only one. It lines up with the BRP online parts lookup for the 2023 models. Just a blank cap...

    2023 F3 Ltd with no dual-USB outlet in trunk - did this change recently? Any info?

    Hello Folks, I bought a new 2023 F3 Limited Special Series last week and I just realized that I don't have a dual USB outlet in my trunk. I checked an online parts fiche and I also don't see a trunk USB outlet listed for my year and model. Just the round blank that's in there now. Did this...

    Is there a Sport Mode for 2020+ RT's?

    The F3-S is the only Spyder model with Sport mode from my research over the past month.

    Hey Ya'll We Got A New Member! Lets welcome BigPoppa to SL

    Hey folks…I’m happy to say that I’ve officially joined the Spyder family. I picked up a new F3 Limited a few days ago and I’m really enjoying it so far. This forum was great at answering all of my questions and providing valuable feedback. Now the farkling commences!

    Does your Saddlebag need to be slammed to latch?

    I just bought a new 2023 F3 Limited a couple of days ago and my cases don’t latch easily. I don’t slam them but I do have to give an extremely firm push go get them to latch. Mine are also empty (for now). I’ll probably try the silicon spray mentioned above to see if that helps.

    Anyone else's Top-case blocking Tollway license plate photographs?

    I just went through my local California Bay Area FasTrak express lane today on my new F3 Limited. It'll be interesting to see if it picks up this bike. It's definitely never had a problem picking up my R1200RT with a top case nor my Energica Ribelle with a top case. If I slide by with the Spyder...

    Any feedback re F3-S with SlingMods tri-case setup versus F3 Ltd?

    Again, I just wanted to say thank you for the great feedback not only in this thread but across the forum as a whole. I’m happy to report that I’ve officially joined the Spyder family. I picked up my new F3 Limited this afternoon and I’m very pleased with my purchase. I was going to get the...

    There's been a REVER Price Increase - any other way to get radar?

    If you use Cycle Gear, RevZilla, or JP Cycles with any regularity, their annual RPM membership (which spans all three) includes a free Rever Pro membership. Of course everything is subject to change. It’s the only reason I won’t be in a rush to install my Garmin XT when I get my Spyder.

    Any Long-Term impacts of A/Mkt Suspension, Lighting, Performance Upgrades?

    Awesome BertRemington…good points. Although I doubt I’ll do more than minor accessory installations I definitely plan on picking up a service manual for whichever model I get. I’ve always liked the idea of having service manuals even if I never intend on using it.

    Any Long-Term impacts of A/Mkt Suspension, Lighting, Performance Upgrades?

    Hey folks, As I continue researching Spyders ahead of my hopeful purchase at the end of next week, a thought/question came to mind. Has anyone found information regarding the long term impacts of the aftermarket suspension mods like beefier sway bars, higher performance shocks, etc? I realize...

    Any feedback re F3-S with SlingMods tri-case setup versus F3 Ltd?

    Thanks for the feedback guys. Arm rests are a must have for sure. Gotta keep my wife happy. :) blacklightning, that's a nice F3T. As an owner of both an F3T and an RTL, what's your impression of the differences between them? When I rented the F3-S I was struck by how short it actually was...

    Any feedback re F3-S with SlingMods tri-case setup versus F3 Ltd?

    Thanks @fatboy... the BajaRon sway bar and end links are definitely at the top of my list...just behind the rider's back rest and passenger arm rests. After that I'm leaning towards Elka shocks front and rear as well as LED lights and driving/auxiliary lights.

    Any feedback re F3-S with SlingMods tri-case setup versus F3 Ltd?

    Thank you very much everyone for your comments both in this post and on these forums in general. After spending the past week on an F3-S rental I’ve decided to go ahead and make the switch to 3 wheels. After talking it over with my wife I’m now shopping for an F3 Limited. There are a few I’ve...

    Looking good! Lucky couple! I wish I had the room for 2 Spyders. ;)

    Does anyone add Fuse/Accessory Blocks? Where's the best spot?

    Hey Folks, My apologies if I'm posting too many questions as I get closer to deciding whether or not to make the switch to 3 wheels. As I continue to read and watch videos about the Spyders (mainly the F3's), it's apparent there are a lot of accessories we can add to these things. Does anyone...

    Is SHAD Top Master compatible with OEM SHAD side case racks?

    That’s certainly a beefier looking top case rack than what’s on SHAD’s website. I’ll have to remember this rack if I decide to pull the trigger on an F3-S (which I’m currently leaning heavily towards). Any idea if the OEM passenger armrests could be added once you have the side and top cases...

    Is SHAD Top Master compatible with OEM SHAD side case racks?

    Hello F3(S) owners. As asked in the title, do any of you know if the SHAD Top Master for a top case is compatible with the OEM SHAD side cases installed? I searched the forums but didn't see any results talking about the side and top cases installed together. I like the quality of the SHAD cases...

    Anyone heard any Rumors on 2024 Spyders, All models?

    Not a Spyder owner yet but as an owner of 2 electric cars (Bolt & Tesla) and an electric motorcycle (Energica Ribelle) here are my thoughts on any potential electric Spyder/Ryker: Given the size of the engine in the Ryker, if it were replaced with a battery and motor, it would likely become a...
