• 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.

    High pitched whine at 45 mph

    Thanks for the replies and yeah all possible. There was definitely a lot less drag on the rear wheel after I put the shaft back in so maybe it greased the bearings themselves. I only saw the 2 that fit in at either end and didn't remove the ones in the middle of the wheel. It was really quite...

    Has Anyone Switched fron an F3-T to a Ryker?

    The long reviewers comments about the rykers issues mirrors what I've been told by owners in the UK who've had an F3. Ryker's lack of weight over the front wheels make it struggle with poor road surfaces and it jumps around a lot. I guess if you have really good road surfaces (such as the...

    High pitched whine at 45 mph

    As I said above - could be just lack of grease on the shaft? Your experience of having a new machine and it's still there is what I found when searching on here for info on the whine. i.e. - it's normal, get used to it. I be interested in anyone else checking their shaft for grease who has...

    High pitched whine at 45 mph

    One suggestion is lack of lubrication on the rear shaft. Mine has had this speed dependant whine all the time I've had it (approx 3.5 years) and exactly as you describe. I think it was also there above 50mph but wind noise was enough to drown it out. I also put it down to just the...

    Looking at a 2015 F3-S SE6 -- what should I ask the seller?

    I'm disabled (left leg amputed at hip) and I do all the maintenance on mine - so that shows how easy it is to maintain. I've just done the rear tyre and rear brake pads - removing the rear wheel was the most difficult thing I've done. Also there was no grease on the shaft at all - rusted up...

    Painting Cadolitic converter underneath spider !!!

    Yeah, doesn't make sense to me either but each to their own. I've stuck with the cat and standard F3 exhaust.

    How fast can it go?

    I had 200 KPH on a German Autobahn last year and that was about it. Also, the speedo is remarkably accurate and doesn't overread much at all. At 80mph it's only 2mph over according to GPS readout on Waze.

    Painting Cadolitic converter underneath spider !!!

    Replacement pipe for the cat. Puts either a plain pipe in place of it, like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2016-2018-Can-Am-Spyder-F3-F3T-RT-Cat-Delete-Performance-Pipe-/292562431490 Or you can get ones with a built in extra silencer: https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/143200963112?chn=ps Both of...

    Front shock adjustment

    Sway Bar upgrade will take out a lot of the excess lean. Also try upping front pressures - you can tune the front end a lot with just a few extra psi.

    F3-S SE must haves???

    Sway bar - essential. The standard one off the RT (2014+) is a good upgrade for the F3 for little/no money if you can find a second hand one. 2 up rear shock - desirable. Big improvement over standard which is very poor. I have a passenger on very rarely and I find the 2 up is good enough for...

    2 up shock?

    Big improvement over the standard one with about twice the amount of coils on the spring. Gives a lot less bottoming out one or two up. Your combined weights is less than we have for comparison purposes so I would think you would be fine with it. Good value upgrade.

    2015 F3S Luggage Rack Passenger Back Rest Combo

    It's because that's for an RS. Not available for an F3 AFAIK.

    Ryker ECU Flash

    Ah cheers for the info, wondered where it was coming from. They do an F3 flash the OHG are offering too and I wanted to find some more info about it.

    Ryker ECU Flash

    Just thought I'd share that there seems to be re-flash for the ryker already out there. A UK dealer posted these graphs on one of our facebook owners sites. I don't have anymore details than the graphs exept it's not from Monster Fuel in Canada. Shows a modest improvement over the US stock...

    Hope BRP are reading our threads and listens (WAKE UP BRP REPRESENTATIVES)

    Have you looked at the Gear Position Sensor fault threads? That was a common problem on some F3s from the factory where the sensor was contaminated and would lead to shifting issues / stuck in neutral etc. Sensor replacement fixed the problem. Just a quick thought but ignore if already...

    Ryker backrest

    Could also fit a motorcycle top case with an integrated passenger backrest, such as this SHAD one: I'm presuming it would attach to the Max Mount ok and it could be adjusted to fit behind the rider.

    Ryker No netural selection ?

    The OP didn't say he wanted to rev it while in stationary traffic, he was raising the possibility of accidentally revving the bike while at a stop and moving forward unintentionally. Hence the query about whether there was a neutral gear selection for use during longer stops in traffic etc. I...

    Can am rally video

    Agree, it's got to hit used values of older models. I'm sure there will still be enthusiasts who would prefer an older RS for the higher performance, but for most buyers the reliability and simplicity of a new Ryker is bound to appeal more.

    Can am rally video

    That's not quite what happens in the video. He goes from 70s to 80s fairly quickly but we then cut to some off board footage and when we come back he's in the 90s. Now I'm not suggesting the Ryker won't go from 70-90 that quickly but that video doesn't show it happening. My take from that...

    Can am rally video

    I don't think they are, Sarge is the only person I've seen on here who's announced an intention to trade an F3 for a Ryker. I think a lot of F3 owners are interested in a test drive to see what the Ryker is like, or like myself have a partner who is interested in a Ryker but wouldn't have...
