• 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.

    F3 Hand Guards

    Plus 1. Very interested in this thread. I would like to add hand guards to my F3L. I had them on my BMW's and they are very useful here in Canada when temps are low or riding thru bug infested areas. The heated grips help on cold days but they warm up only the inside of the hand and the...

    Do you carry a charger?

    That's impressive considering you live in Alaska. You should get a reward from BRP, maybe even sponsorship! I suppose you ride ski-doos in the winter.

    To all the 2018 owners

    I have a F3L 2018. I wouldn't buy a 2018 based on having the option to use BRP connect. The Genius app is not very user friendly (compared to TomTom on my Subaru and my BMW Navigator V). The screen is small. You do need to pay something. The app is free and you can download the maps for free...

    How much to ask?

    If it was me, I would put it back to stock and sell the accessories separately. Make sure you don't break anything while you remove the farkles (don't ask me about my 800$ mistake). Make it look like new. get all the maintenance records, determine its KBB value, take a bit off if you can...

    2018 F3 Limited - How do I turn off the radio

    I had the same issue and a software update when I had my service done in September fixed it. Now it is muted with an X on the speaker icon. It was clearly a bug.

    Two great days of ryding in VA/TN/NC ... hoping for more

    Very nice way to get to your destination and better be in the South than this miserable cold. Enjoy. BTW, how much of a drop in fuel mileage do you get towing the Spyder with your RAM?

    U-Ship Advice

    Have you considered renting a one-way UHAUL trailer. You could ride it down and come back with your wife in the car pulling the Spyder.

    That sounds like a great adventure. I should do it one day but we are not going down south this year. Maybe next!

    Ryker vs F3 Comparison Video

    I think I may prefer a wider handlebar just like the guy said in the 20-minutes test ride. Also the U-Fit bracket for the handlebar seems a pit flimsy. It seems to rattle a bit after it has been locked. Maybe it's just an issue with the demo batch.

    Ryker on the Road!

    With all the excitement... It seems that the only negative will be availability and possibly dealer price mark-ups! Can BRP build enough of these during the winter months to meet demand in the spring. I am trying to convince my son to buy one of these as he is looking to trade-up from is...

    Planning a trip...input help/comments welcome

    You've had a lot of good advice so here's a different twist... I am from Ontario as well and driven to The Villages, close to your FL location, by car for the last three years. I drove highway 75 all the way from Detroit at the end of the 401. Hi 75 in Kentucky and Tennessee is very nice and...

    ANOTHER 18 -NO MAUAL DOWNSHIFT

    Had this issue on 18 F3L but now fixed Last week I went for my first service at 5000 kilometers. Had three issues including the downshift (plus BRP connect and rattling mirror). At first when I mentioned the downshift, the service manager told me he would look into it but had not heard...

    Rattling side mirror

    Hello all: I have a 2018 F3 Limited. And love it. The left side mirror rattles quite a bit at speeds > 65 mph. Specially so on acceleration when the bike vibrates more. I have my first service at 5000 kms coming this week. I was wondering whether this is something I should ask the dealer...

    FOBO question

    I run my F3L at about 28 / 17 and usually inflate to 28.5 / 17.5 to account for a bit of deflation. I don't use FOBO but had bought it from Amazon and returned it. If you do a search on this site, you will find that people ride the fonts at 15 to 20. So you have to decide if you want a range...

    golf and Luggage Racks.

    How are they secured to the bike? The images nor the description explain how they are attached to the bike. Do you need the trailer hitch to begin with? J

    What Canada is teaching me about Spyder design

    In Ste-Anne des Monts If you go thru Ste-Anne-des-Monts, and you should as you make you way around the peninsula, there's an inn called "Auberge de La Seigneurie des Monts". It's on the water with a magnificent view, great breakfast and good coffee. I stayed there twice when I did my tours...

    What Canada is teaching me about Spyder design

    For a trip back to the 70’s Make sure you go around the Gaspe peninsula. Also, several stretches of road where you are right on the ocean. enjoy

    Important Message for all Spyder Lovers

    I found an easy fix for all these issue once a week I park in my garage in reverse. That way I am ready to go the next time. I just need to make sure I position the carpet properly as it is "T" shaped and assumes I come into the garage moving forward. So to summarize, I park looking forward...
