• 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's the best belt tensioner? What are you using?

    I am going with Lamonsters Belt Tensioner for both of our spyders. I was mainly looking at Lamonts, and Spyder Extras. They both are FANTASTIC companies and work with customers if problems arise. There are some that do not like tensioners and I absolutely respect their decisions, it is...

    ISO - grips with air flow

    I just went from 2 wheels to 3 and Have had Kuryakyn on my last two bikes. They were ok but not exactly comfortable and I would not say they allowed more airflow that you are looking for. I just installed Lamonsters Leather like foam grips on my spyder (very easy install using hand sanitizer)...

    Where/what do you do for battery jump pack storage?

    How do you carry your battery jump pack on your spyder? I just got a jump pack and a small compressor but the case it came in was too large for the frunk and it takes a ton of space in the trunk. I am going to take items out of the case but was hoping that there were some ideas here on how to...

    metal valve stems?

    When I change out my tires for new ones next week, I am planning on also changing out the OEM valve stems on my wifes 2018 F3 Limited. The front valve stems are extremely short which makes it hard to check tire pressure and air up the tires. I have done a search and saw where some posters...

    Tire questions

    I have done a search and it appears that most here have gone with the Federals or Q5's for the fronts. We are now trying to make a decision on which to go with on the fronts with living in Texas. So far all I can find is the Q5's might be better in wet conditions but I cant find any more info...

    New Shocks / Suspension Fault

    We just went through this with my wifes 2018 F3 Limited. Ours was after putting on Elka shocks. We went to one dealer 3 times and BRP had them check and reset the switches and then they ended up replacing the compressor and it still did not fix the problem. We worked with ELKA and set the...

    2018 F3 Limited rear suspension.

    Paula, just went through an issue with my wifes 2018 F3 Limited suspension. It was giving her a fault light. Bike ran fine, just the light. What we learned though this process is that the suspension on the 2018 F3 Limited "CAN" be adjusted "BY COMPUTER" (we went through two dealers and...

    Torque wrench?

    I am (what I consider) a typical back yard mechanic. I have a tool box full of tools and all three sizes of the Harbor Freight torque wrenches, which over the years have been close enough for the places I needed to use them. However I do not want to use them on my wifes Spyder. That is an...
