• 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.

    Is the Frunk Lid supposed to pop open when released? 2019 F3L Is the frunk lid, 2019 F3L, supposed to pop open (unlatch) when the key is depressed and turned left? I currently have to reach down and pull up on the lid with one hand as I work the key with the other. This isn’t a major...

    Swaybar Bolt Crooked-ness Confirmation Needed

    My comment probably doesn’t apply to your bikes issue but I will throw it out there anyway. I had a really bad vibration on my bike beginning around the lower seventies mph. I had my BRP tech test ride and he indicated a belt vibration dampener would help. I installed a belt vibration dampener...

    How do you know when your tank is low on fuel?

    Can someone explain the issue with just using the fuel gauge on the bike? When I fill up the gauge indicates approximately 277 miles and I have ridden it down to 60 to 70 miles before fill-up. Now I’m not sure if this is actual miles or an estimate based on how hard the engine is running...

    Newbie Question about handling

    TomTom My wife experienced the same side by side motion as you mentioned about your wife. Part of my switch to the spyder, 2019 F3L, was for her comfort and early on I was frustrated because this motion was not a good thing for her. She felt the need to hold on to the hand holds to try and...

    Headache from helmet

    Not trying to redirect the discussion but I have wondered what looking through multiple layers of polycarbonate (or whatever the shields are made of) might play on vision and thus possible eye strain (headache). If you wear glasses, use the flip down sun shield and then the helmet shield this...

    To Purchase the extended warranty or not, that is the question!

    If I could take this discussion one step further. To help in the extended warranty decision I would be interested to know some of the repair costs for these maintenance issues. Given what an oil change costs I would guess tearing into an engine would be pretty expensive. Poasttown 2019 F3L

    Dealers in Ohio

    Not sure where you are in Ohio. However, if you are in the Columbus area do a search for Iron Pony. I don’t think they are a Spyder dealer but their store looks like an old big box store and they are full of motorcycles and motorcycle stuff. The last time I was there they were a dealer for...

    Considering a trailer

    Once again many valid points. We have been traveling for years on two wheels and have managed quite well without a trailer but some extra space sure looks like a positive. However, to be honest I don’t need 15 to 20 cubic feet of extra space. As SteveW mentioned the required plate fees...

    Considering a trailer

    Thanks all for the reply’s. I will search through the old posts. Part of the fun is trying to make what is needed fit on the bike. However, leaving home two up with zero extra space sure presents challenges down the road. Decisions, decisions. We have occasionally mailed items home to make...

    Considering a trailer

    I’m in the early stages of considering a pull behind trailer for my F3L. Two questions. With all the road debris, limbs, rocks, road kill, etc how do you avoid these items with an extra two tires? It seems as if the last two paths to avoid road obstructions (under the floor boards) is now in...

    BRP HITCH VERTICAL PLAY (looseness)

    I wonder why BRP decided to incorporate shims into their hitch? Could it be that they wanted some movement to occur? Poasttown

    Installing passenger armrests on F3 Limited - do I lose heated handgrips?

    Podhouse My passenger also lost the heated grips when I installed the BRP am rests on my 2019 F3L. This was ok with her because she didn’t use the heated grips and the arm rests provided a better ride for her. I’m not sure but you may be able to purchase some after market arm rests and still...

    FM radio reception F3L and RT 2018 models.

    Billy The FM reception on my 19 F3L seems to be ok. However, I have to turn it up so loud to hear it, with helmet, wind noise, etc. that I just use my Cardo intercom with ear buds. Poasttown

    Which is the best Windshield for wind protection?

    I purchased the tallest windshield from F4 Customs and am very happy with my choice. In fact, I later purchased their adjustable side wings to allow more air to flow on my body in the warmer weather. I sometimes wonder if I should have purchased the vent they offer as an option, however I have...

    Touchup paint for 2017 Spyder RT Champagne Metallic

    I could not find my color from Color Rite. I just ordered a touch up kit form a company called Scratch’s Happen. I don’t know anything about this company (I ordered today), but everything went smoothly. I’m extra cautious when ordering online and suppose I will know in a few days. Poasttown;

    Helmet question from a new rider.

    Someone else mentioned a Cycle Gear store. They seem to be opening a lot of stores. I have purchased a few things from them and have been happy. The stores I have visited had an entire wall of helmets so you can get a pretty good look. I also think they are some how associated with Revzilla...
