• 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.

    Planning to join Spyder Nation

    Japgen, I think the Spyder RT is a good choice for someone coming from the BMW RT. Both have many comfort features and as such I think you won't feel like you are compromising too much with your new toy. I came also from BMW's, the GS and the R. The only real difference for me is leaning in...

    Congrats. I like the blue. I have the black. I am in Canada so mine is in the garage sleeping for several months. I hope the for sale sign in the background is not for the Spyder:hun:

    Riders Advantage Warranty Price Question?

    I went with best because it is BRP and they use only BRP parts. It's also transferable to your next bike if you trade before the end of warranty. The markup on these things is huge. Shop around. I wouldn't go with a third party if OEM is available. A third party has no incentive to pay up...

    UFIT system

    I wouldn`t rely solely on the chart. I had to change my handlebar to the shortest reach to be comfortable. try it for yourself and then be mentally ready to change it after you`ve used the bike for a little while. J

    Windshield and wind guard options for 2016 F3-T

    + 1 for F4 Customs. I installed a medium with the wings on my F3L and could not be happier. Not sure an adjustable screen would be significantly better. J

    why i purchased my spyder

    There`s something special about bikes. The riding, the farkling, the looking at the bike while in winter storage and longing for spring. I bought my first bike after University with one of my first paycheck. A red Honda 350 or 400. The day I picked it up I had to ask the salesman to explain...

    Urgent help - first oil change

    I feel like a fool. I've done everything except pour the oil. Now I ask myself a question. Where do I pour the oil? I check a few videos. The only thing they say is ... at the end pour the oil. Doesn't say where. I assume it is thru the dipstick tube but since I haven't seen anything to...

    BEST Warranty

    I bought it for a total of 5-year coverage. You should shop around as there are serious differences between dealers. Also, make sure of what you have on your vehicle from BRP. Mine had 3-years on it from BRP but my dealer tried to sell me three years as if I had only two.

    Snow tires are not required everywhere in Canada. For example, Ontario does not require them while Quebec does.

    Oil change 12 months, YES or NO

    I bought a kit. I will change the oil myself when I store my F3 for the winter:(. I contacted BRP but the answer is too vague.

    Oil change 12 months, YES or NO

    Hello all, I have a 2018 F3 LTD. I had an oil change at the end of the season last year at 5000 kms. I thought BRP recommended an oil change every year irrespective of the mileage. I currently have only 10000 kms on it at the moment. I contacted my dealer for an oil change and he said the...

    Does Anyone Tow Their Spyder with a Subaru Outback?

    I have towed a motorcycle with an outback. I think it was a 2010 2.5. A few points 1. I believe my total tow weight was 1000 (500 plus 500). Towing a Spyder you could be at 1500 + depending on the weight of the towing. 2. The max tow weight is 2700 but it is 1000 w/o trailer brakes. Now, if...

    Any recommendations for Dealing with Hand/Wrist Pain?

    I think the OP wants to know whether there are mechanical aids not medication. Of course I could be wrong.

    Long Solo Trips - What Did You Learn About Yourself?

    Indeed a great question. Although I am considered as "always" thinking, I find that on solo ventures I don't do as much. I seem to be focused on the job at end, keeping safe. I finish my days too tired to do anything, including thinking. It's like being in a bubble while the world goes by...

    F4 Customs vs Madstad

    I would add that the aerodynamics of the helmet have a lot to do with turbulence. I am at my third gen of the ARAI Corsair and the last one is significantly better from that perspective. J

    USB port in rear topcase of F3 Ltd not connected! Anyone else?

    Hello all, Thanks for this post. I have a 2018 F3L and have the same issue. I remember plugging my phone to it and noticing it didn't charge. I didn't pay to much attention to the issue and thought I would get to it eventually thinking I just had to read the OM. After reading this thread, I...
