• 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.

    Overhere in The Netherlands, the biggest dealer, says, PATIENCE, it will all work out, they are ordering parts as we speak, give it some time, and it will all be sorted. The solution after the sprocket swap, is not yet defined biy BRP. I think, they are going to provide some sort of sleeve...

    2012 Spyder RT With Sun Damaged Plastic/Trim - any fixes?

    We need pictures, but for dull plastics, specially rubber, or matte, a solution that worked for me, is using a hairdryer, this will liven up the matte finish, you can also use a little more heat from a paintstripper, fohn. But use caution, not overheating the plastics, use a waving motion, where...

    Confused about tire pressure - Spyder feels squirrelly, do I go up, or down?

    Run those kenda's hard, and you'll need new AUTO Tyres, in just about 4500 miles, replace them with a good brand tyre, there's so much info on this site, you can't fantom that. I run a Hankook RS4 tyre now, and it's making a huge difference, I read you are in the learning curve with your new...

    ACE 1330 - What RPM do you cruise??

    Cruisin rpm's @2500, is not harming the spyder at all, just don't hit the gas in high gear/ low revs, I have mine custom tuned for low revs/cruisin, more bottom end torque, and missing some at the top end.

    ACE 1330 - What RPM do you cruise??

    Cruisin at 2500 rpm's is absolutely not harmfull for the engine, neither the clutch will suffer, but be prepared to shift down, when going uphill, or if you are passing a car, semi, or a fast cyclist.... Spyder is the happiest round the 3500 to 5500 rpm mark...for shifting points, Me when in the...

    Is it worth fitting SpyderExtras Billet Aluminum Belt Tensioner/Idler?

    Agree with Mikey, on this one, If you don't feel any vibrations at whatever speed, there's no need for an belt adjuster, if you experiance vibrations, try and set the belt to a lower tension, there are lot's of video's bout this particular subject.

    What is MotoBatt 12V AGM Battery like for my F3?

    AGM, is not quite suiteable for the spyder, due to high energy need at startup, you'd be better of with an oldskool yuasa, (this is also the oe.m. BRP Battery, only rebranded). Yuasa is a good brand, but even they have some that skip to qc... like every other brand, do not buy from alie...

    Ryker won't start !!!!! Again

    I for myself, never hook anything direct to the battery, that is just a recipe for disaster. Use a fuseblock, or as earlier advice, use the accesory cable, this is hot after ignition on.

    Raising the front end for sway bar Remove & Refit - how exactly?

    I used a forklift, and that worked like a charm, but if you don't have acces to that, I would jack it up, as high as you can, then put wooden blocks under the wheels, then more wooden blocks under the jacks, that would suffice you with enough hight..

    Oil - why would you use Rotella T6, a diesel oil, in your Spyder?

    Even when they put gummybears, on the package, It won't make a difference.... or if they would call it motorcola, it's all about the specs, and Rotella t6, just ticks all the boxes. Jaso MaII rated is well suited for the spyders, it's been said above, it's all about marketing, but rotella is a...

    Need Helmet Help. Considering HJC & GMax - any issues with either?

    Helmet pads, do slink a bit, but not much, snug is good, hotspots are bad, scorpion and shark have very different headshapes, I was in the market for a shark, just from reviews on the net, but when in the store, the shark did not fit good, bought a scorpion with the same specs, modular...

    How do you clean flat paint?

    I pressure wash my spyder, in a selfcarwash, first shampoo it, then I wax it, then i rinse with osmosiswater, then I drive it to my garage, and use a leafblower, to blow it dry, and this works flawless. Must say, that this carwash, uses premium fluids, my f3s is now 2yrs old, and the matte is...
