• 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.

    Accident July 7, 2018. Prayers needed

    Doc, My wife who was very involved in large scale healthcare issues mentioned to me that Kindred does not have a particularly good reputation as a healthcare company. You might want to ask your wife's current healthcare providers who they would recommend other than Kindred.

    Safety Gear

    Having recently moved to South Florida, the weather is generally a lot hotter here than where we lived in North Florida. After thinking about what has been written here and most frequently following the ATGATT philosophy, I found that I was getting slack on shoe and jacket protection due to the...

    Extended warranty?

    As a Floridian but not an attorney, I checked the laws and in about 2011, the constitutionality of the restrictions was challenged and I think overturned in a class action court decision if my memory serves me correctly. The State of Florida partially capitulated to the insurers by stating that...

    F3 issues

    If you don't like the cost of maintenance. You might want to consider getting an electronic service manual and a couple of simple and inexpensive tools to do your own maintenance. For me, it is both satisfying work and gets me in sync with what is going on with my trike. I have two trikes and do...

    feeling unstable

    A very simple fix that made fast cornering better other than my Ron Bar and a 2-up rear shock was to add some Spyderpops foam grips. The stock grips IMHO are way too small and cause the ryder to use a stronger grip than is necessary. When I added the foam grips, I was able to use a much lighter...

    F3 Front Sprocket Inspection

    Michaelscs, It seems that this individual, Road-Kill, likes to provide his opinions on a frequent basis. I think we are all grown up enough to know that when people start bantering around statistics that they have no way of ascertaining that most of just ignore the more ignorant pronouncements...

    Can Am Spyder F3 Cannonball Comfort Seat

    +1, Sometimes I think that factory designed upgrade seats are overrated but the Cannonball I got from a fellow S/L as well has turned out to be quite comfortable. Like yourself Blue Star, I got the entire front/back ensemble. I had tried using an Airhawk seat cushion for added comfort when I had...

    Why I cannot sell my 2015 F3-S Spyder

    We are moving to a home with 2 less garage spaces (down from 4) than I currently have and was considering selling the F3-S Spyder. When I looked at all of the cool farkles that I had on the trike that make it uber comfortable and the fact that 6 months ago I had a left hip replacement that made...

    Retiring soon, vehicle / trailer recommendations.

    There is/was a Droptail trailer for sale just across the State from you in Melbourne for $2k that is a steal and ideal for open carry of a Spyder. The trailer only weighs about 850 pounds and it hauls my F3S or Harley Tri Glide Ultra with ease behind my 2015 Honda Odyssey which is rated for 3500...

    F3 Clutch updated to vacuum assist.....

    I personally do not feel a need for a clutch assist on my 2015 F3S but do realize how stout it is in terms of pressure required to pull in and keep the lever in the disengaged mode. When I am in town, I immediately shift into neutral to prevent any extra strain on my hand/wrist/arm. It is...

    F3 Clutch updated to vacuum assist.....

    Damn, I was wondering all this time what that silver thing was on the left side of my handlebar on my F3S:shocked: I thought maybe it was a brake lever but was told that my 2015 F3S only has a foot brake lever:joke: I thought my trike was a semi-auto so I just STOMP on that little lever on the...

    How difficult is it to flush the brake fluid on a 2015 F3S Spyder?

    You know, you are correct on that one. The remaining fluid was reportedly causing the rear brake calipers to seize up IIRC from corrosion. Maybe my agreement with our fellow poster about the unflushed old fluid not being critical may be an oversight or misguided notion?

    How difficult is it to flush the brake fluid on a 2015 F3S Spyder?

    I was kind of thinking that and I think your rationale is right on the money! It clearly states in the instructions that the whole system needs to be flushed if air is introduced into the system so it makes sense to insure that the brake fluid reservoir always has fluid in it while flushing the...

    How difficult is it to flush the brake fluid on a 2015 F3S Spyder?

    Chuck, I fully agree with your assessment up to the point where the service manual calls for the use of the BUDS system as the last part of the fluid flush and to read and compute the various values for the three-wheel antilock braking system. That last task outlined in the service manual can...

    How difficult is it to flush the brake fluid on a 2015 F3S Spyder?

    Didn't mean to be rude. It was kind of a mixed-bag experience that turned out well. I also own a Harley Tri Glide Ultra trike with the new M8 engine and find that I can do at least 95% of all the required maintenance with my own garage tools and a few inexpensive specialty tools from Harley...

    How difficult is it to flush the brake fluid on a 2015 F3S Spyder?

    Flushing brakes on an ABS Spyder system The dealership where I was going to get my brakes flushed was initially going to have a non-Spyder tech do the job. I had handed the 4-page instructions from the service manual to the Service Manager to insure that the tech followed the prescribed...

    How difficult is it to flush the brake fluid on a 2015 F3S Spyder?

    Had a Can-Am Tech Do the Brake and Clutch Fluid Flush I was looking through the F3 manual and in the procedures for flushing the brake fluid, it calls for the use of the BUDS at the end of procedure to use the ABS pump to completely flush the lines. Given this, I found a dealer that was willing...
