• 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.

    Does UHaul rent a trailer to tow a Spyder?

    Due to the width of the front, you will need to rent a 6 foot wide by 10 foot long trailer. An open trailer will be fine. I am in North Carolina and recently bought a 2015 F3S that was a couple of hundred miles away in South Carolina. I tried all the UHaul, Tractor Supply, and many trailer...

    Any Amber Driving Lights I can mount in Fog light position?

    The other day saw a Harley with some aftermarket Amber driving lights mounted to his engine guard. It was daytime and they still really caught your eye. Since I don’t drive at night would like to get a pair for my F3S. There aren’t any conventional mounting points on our Spyders, so was...

    Baja Ron Customer service.

    In a time where “customer service” is mostly just two words, it is refreshing to see a company that truly understands the customers.

    1330cc 2014 RT won't idle and is sluggish in lower gears

    Hi skeggs50. If the dealer you are referring to is Iron Horse Motorcycles in Monroe NC, stay away from them. They are the worst dealer I have ever encountered. They are dishonest and expensive. I am a retired new car dealer and they are an embarrassment to the industry. Hope you sort out the...

    When is the best time to buy a new 2017 RT battery?

    Welcome to the forum from North Carolina. Glad you decided to join us. Don’t think time of year dictates when to replace battery. Age and condition are the decisive factors. Pull it out and have it load tested at the auto parts stores. They do it for free. Go to two or three stores. Have...

    Are '21/'22 F3/F3-S's pre-wired for Fog lights?

    Is the 2015 F3S also pre wired?

    1330cc 2018 F3T Transmission failure followed by warped clutch - need advice?

    It is good that BRP covered the clutch parts. There is no question that they should since the trike has such low mileage to have a transmission problem. As far as warranties, it is always better to purchase a factory extended warranty over the independent company. The factory warranty covers...

    Yuasa battery out of stock

    I buy batteries for the bikes in all brands. Just always making sure they meet or exceed the manufacturers requirements. Always buy a very good quality AGM battery. Also make sure the cable hookups are in the same position as the Yuasa. The Yuasa 24hl-bs is 22.1 Amp hours, 350 Cold Cranking...

    the KEY to Happiness - replacing the Spyder's ignition key!

    Well, let us review. Lost the key :dontknow: and then fibbed to the Mrs. :lecturef_smilie: Searched all over and can’t remember when and where you had it last. Local dealer gave inaccurate information about it being in stock. Hardware store won’t cut the key when you get it. Between the key...

    When and where was the first time you rode a Can-Am tryke ??

    My first ride was when I bought a 2015 F3S about 12 days ago. The seller was 170 miles from me in South Carolina. My trailer is a 5 by 10 but needed a 6 foot wide trailer to fit the Spyder. After being unsuccessful trying to rent one, decided to ride it home. Got insurance and the seller was...

    Batteries are Good ... Until They're Not

    I always buy a quality AGM battery that you have to add the acid and then do an initial charge. Who knows how long the ones with the acid installed have been sitting on the shelf.

    Looking at a Spyder - any expertise or advice on offer?

    Been searching and today picked up a 2015 F3S automatic with only 7k miles for $14000. Couldn’t rent a 6 foot wide trailer anywhere and mine is only 5 foot so I rode it 160 miles to home. I never even sat on one. I got used to the trike in half an hour. It was 95 degrees and also had 20...

    What's the Difference between SE6 and SM6?

    Hi. Just got a lead to buy a 2015 F3S with 7k miles near me. It’s an automatic. What is the difference between SE6 and SM6. Is the SM mean manual. Please respond asap so I can get back to him to set up a look. Price is 14,000. Seems like a good deal.
