• 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.

    Can I spin balance with Ride On installed? What’s proper F3 belt tension?

    Just a follow up post on the wheel balancing. Added 3 more ounces of Ride-On to each front wheel making a total of 14 per wheel. Noticed a significant improvement as soon as I hit the paved road. My driveway is a mile long dirt road. Ran the bike up to 65-75 mph and things smoothed out. On...

    Can I spin balance with Ride On installed? What’s proper F3 belt tension?

    Thanks for your response Ron. Put 10 ounces of the automotive Ride-On in each of the fronts. You suggested the auto formula in one of your posts. When replacing the rear tire, I taped up the belt adjusters, but the belt was riding too close to the wheel after tightening. Am sure I’ll get it...

    Can I spin balance with Ride On installed? What’s proper F3 belt tension?

    Thanks for all the responses. I did remove the old weights. Tires were mounted properly and beads are seated. Ride-on recommends adding 2 more ounces per tire and if that doesn’t work they say add too more. If it still doesn’t work, then will have to remove it. In retrospect should have went...

    Good deals to be found on your local Marketplace!

    I check a 500 mile radius from Monroe North Carolina every day. Am looking for Spyder accessories for sale. I never see any Spyders for sale at the very low numbers being stated in this thread. Why can’t a link be posted? Why can’t you post a link?

    Can I spin balance with Ride On installed? What’s proper F3 belt tension?

    Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. I did searches and have read about these items here, but so many different answers. Replaced all three tires with 175/55r15 Vredestein and Altimax Rt45. Took them to 5 tire places and nobody can balance them. Had some dynabeads left over from one of...

    Recommendation for cover that is reasonable in cost

    I use a fitted King sized bed sheet. If you want something fancy, how about a floral print. :roflblack:

    Replaced Rear tire, now have multiple fault codes! Need some advice.

    Hope all is well with everyone. Just replaced the rear tire and the rear brake pads on my 2015 F3. Everything went well and was running the bike at idle on the lift to check belt clearance. All was well until I inadvertently shut the bike off with it idling in first gear. Now have three codes...

    I wonder if it will show up when you get it inspected.

    Is the General Altimax RT45 Directional or Non Directional?

    Took the rear tire off my F3 today. Was looking at the 215/60r15 Altimax RT45 SL I got from Tire Rack and do not see any indication that it is a directional tire. The thread pattern looks uniformed on both sides of the thread. Also there is no red or yellow dot to mount to the tire valve...

    Glad everything worked out for you. It is nice to read a post where the insurance company and dealer fully satisfied the customer.

    Riders Etiquette, "The Salute"

    I wave to all motorcyclists. Lately, even the scooters. Down here in rural North Carolina, most people wave regardless of what they are driving. Thanks for the post.

    Are the front tire valves standard size? Any videos on coolant changing?

    Found one locally. Did what I should have done before asking about the size. Looked up the original part number and the clamp is 36.1mm. Thanks for the offer Bert.

    Are the front tire valves standard size? Any videos on coolant changing?

    Thanks for the responses guys. It makes great sense about the constant torque liner clamp. Thanks Bert. Am assuming the link you posted is the needed size.

    Are the front tire valves standard size? Any videos on coolant changing?

    Good Afternoon. Have a couple of questions. Have a 2015 F3S. Are the tire valve stems for the front wheels the standard size. Would like to get a longer stem when I do the tires. Also, I have the procedure for changing the coolant but would like a video. Did some searches but only see them...

    Does your Spyder make Front Brake Noise? Any fixes?

    Would jack it up and spin the front wheels to determine exactly what is making the noise. Due for brake pad replacement? Caliper issue? Foreign object, like a stone.

    BRP denies warranty claim on water in fuse box - any ideas on next steps?

    What was the reason that BRP denied the claim? Was it because you caused the water to get in the box? Would speak to higher management at your dealer. If that doesn’t bear fruit, contact BRP Customer Relations and schedule an appointment with their Field Service Representative. I don’t know...

    Does Driver Backrest Fit With Passenger Seat Cowl on 2015 F3-S?

    I am considering a drivers backrest. Want to know if the backrest will interfere with the glove compartment cowl that replaced the passenger seat. Also some opinions on which backrest is adjustable and will fold down to ease getting on the trike. It’s a 2105 F3S. Thanks as always for your help.
