• 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.

    Best Shocks for heavyset rider 2015 F3S

    the compressor/bag has everything to do with the shock and i understand it's purpose. If the shock is under sprung the shock gets overworked and aerates. It then becomes useless in handling bumps. I know this because my F3s doesn't have a helper bag and starts out riding fine although lower...

    Best Shocks for heavyset rider 2015 F3S

    Can am really missed the mark with the spyder's rear shock. Even the ryker get an adjustable one..i would trust a properly rated spring over a compressor/bag setup.

    Best Shocks for heavyset rider 2015 F3S

    Tall and stocky guy here. I have a set of M2 shocks on order. Marcus matches the spring rates to your weight and builds the shocks from there. There is a wait time, but everyone seems very happy with them. You biggesr issue is the weak spring on the rear shock. Its made for a 180# rider at...

    F3 total failure

    I'm willing to bet you simply have a bad battery. When problems seem so large its usually something simple. My Spyder had to have its battery replaced at 1k miles because it had an LED kit linked to the brakes and when at the dealer i'm sure a lot of people entertained themselves with it and...

    Being seen

    If you ride in the big city sometimes its hard to get proper spacing traffic. It's easy to be missed and be in someone's blind spot. No amount of high viz gear is going to let the person in a cage know you are there. I will downshift sometimes when i see someone seems like they are not aware...

    2019 F3s SS Blue Ridge or 129 windshield

    that's hilarious. I cut my blueridge down to 129 height for the same reason and dipped it black. The buffeting was so bad i couldn't see. Now i just have my helmet in the wind and the air off my lower body and I can tuck under it at high speeds. An F4 windshield may be a good compromise as...

    Akrapovic Sinister Silencer/F3 worth it?

    The RLS resonator may give you the sound you want for less $$$. i have the Sinister pipe with no carbon fiber issues and will add the RLS resonator unbaffeld with tune when ready. By itself the pipe is not overly loud or obnoxious. I do like the sound and probably the nicest pipe you can put...

    Wearing glasses with helmet

I have one set where the lense are taller and I have to tilt the helmet 45deg to put them behind my ears and then slide my helmet down with the glasses..lol its a process...

    M2 Spyder shocks.

    I've read that Elka recommends a rebuild at 70k. I can live with that if that is the standard for a performance shock. I'm sure a rebuild is a fraction of the initial investment.

    M2 Spyder shocks.

    Yes I spoke with him about the shocks. Very responsive and he did mention a change in spring vendors., but overall same shock. I'm happy with that as I have justified the full setup in my mind and any changes starts my whole process over lol.

    I'm definitely going M2. I had my mind set on the standard set and now this pro street set comes into play. I've had Eibach springs on a car before and loved the handling amd.would.prefer them on the spyder. I'll reach out to him.

    Fuels for Spyders?

    Higher octane and more timing can make more power so hypothetically if the engine's computer is able to advance timing without pinging it can make more power without having higher compression. That being said I lm I'm trying to figure out if ethanol free 93 is better than 93 with 10% lethanol...

    Gas Cap so difficult to close and lock

    White lithium grease on the slide under the cap seal. Mine wouldn't move at first. You have to work it back and forth to free up the slide with both hands and then wipe off the excess. . Now I just push mine down to close. Don't need to turn the key first, but it is easier I supposed. The click...

    2017, 2018, 2019 F3s

    I got a 17 because I wanted a Daytona Edition and it was only made 1 year. I liked the drag bar setup too that doesn't come on any other model. I think the newer 19 models have the new display, but I like my analog gauges. Don't know of anything else gained performance wise as 17+ have the...
