• 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.

    Thinking about buying a 2013 ST Ltd or 2016 F3-T- anything bad about them?

    I also agree on the F3T. My first Spyder was a ‘13 STS. Great Spyder but two years later I traded it for a ‘15 F3S. I like the F3 much better.

    Reservations made for next year's Deadwood Three Wheel Rally!

    Last week I emailed Michele Pierce, the coordinator for the rally. I asked how many had registered. At this time there are 190 registered. And it is not even January! Looks like it will be a big crowd.

    Trading Ryker in for F3 Spyder - Which model, year, and accessories do you recommend?

    A lot of choices. If buying used the F3 and F3S were introduced in 2015. Beginning in 2016 or 2017 the F3T and Ltd were introduced. Look at all models and years, test ride if you can and then decide. I put 77,000 miles on my ‘15 F3S and then sold it. I then bought a 2020 F3 Ltd with less...

    Looking at a 2011 Can-Am Spyder - what is good &/or bad about that year?

    The problem I see with the 2011 RT is that dealers may not work on it since it is over 10 years old. Unless you are a good mechanic or know one, you might want to be cautious.

    Is Maintenance Access any easier on an F3S?

    The F3S engine is much easier to access. Changing oil is also a breeze compared to the RT.

    '22 RT glove box USB won't charge iPhone as GPS - any work around?

    I have an iPhone 14 with an Apple charging cable. When I was using the USB connector in the glove box while using Google maps or WAZE plus Sirius XM radio my phone would slowly discharge. In frustration I purchased a USB/voltage combo on Amazon and connected it directly to my battery. Now my...

    Will using the Position #3 brake rod in Position #4 lower the brake pedal?

    Yes I saw the disclaimer and was surprised by it. Whether you have pegs or floorboards shouldn't make any difference. I would call Lamonster Garage next week and clarify.

    Oil Change Nightmare - tool broke off in the plug; is there a hardened wrench?

    Golf I don't understand why you say left to loosen won't work. I have changed my oil many times on my F3 and both plugs loosen to the left and tighten to the right.

    Will using the Position #3 brake rod in Position #4 lower the brake pedal?

    If you buy a #3 rod from Lamonster Garage it will lower your brake pedal a little bit. That would be the best you could do.

    Is the ST2 Flashing Brake Light System Plug'n'play on 2020+ RT?

    If I understand how the ST2 works I might suggest buying a Brake Free light that attaches to the back of your helmet. I have one and love it. It will brighten or flash as you decelerate.

    Remove the passenger seat first. Then you will see two torx bolts or hex bolts on the bottom rear of the rider seat. Remove those and then you can slide the seat back and off.

    HowTo: My '21 RT Battery Tender Permanent Tail Installation.

    I have to be very careful when working on my Spyder. Nuts and bolts have a tendency to disappear into the nether regions. Rags and shop towels spread around the parts of the Spyder I am working on help.
