• 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.

    Towing with an F3-T

    Is towing a trailer with a 2016 F3-T a bad idea, despite the 400 pound towing capacity? Eventually I want to get a pop up trailer (no lectures about how after market trailers voids the warranty). Random thoughts: 1. My head is spinning after reading through the long segment on the front...

    F3 Front Sprocket Inspection

    Two questions where I am confused - Shifting and trailers I still have two questions. 1. Everybody seems to agree that the clunking when shifting is bad. As I new driver I have heard it but unclear as to what causes it. Can somebody tell me how to avoid clunking? 2. Will towing a trailer...

    New unsold 2016 F3T

    Negotiate a bit more I bought a new 2016 F3-T with a radio a few weeks ago for $16,995, and asked for the new motorcycle discount for 90 days. See if your dealer will flex more.

    Considering Purchase

    Safer but sometimes scarier I got rid of my motorcycle for safety reasons, but I find on uneven roads the Spyder can be really scary in that I get bounced around far more side to side. On curves I have started repeating "Trust Nanny" since on very uneven roads I worry about flipping it...

    When did you use the nanny?

    I have read multiple posts from people who have had the nanny kick in. What EXACTLY were you doing when it happened? For example instead of saying going too fast around a curve, say something like doing 65 in a curve marked for 45 mph. Also did you have a passenger or lots of luggage? I look...

    Any difference on a 2017 and 2018

    Look for 2016's I bought a brand new 2016 F3-T with a radio and full three year warranty for $16,999. I see my deal still has 2016's in stock. I could not tell the difference between a 2016 and a 2017, at least with my model.

    Black Friday Cruising

    Random comment about extending foot rests

    I stripped a bolt and wound up paying the shop to do it, but I found the results from extending foot rests very interesting. I expected the increase in comfort. What I did not expect was how much it improved handling since it made it much easier to push on the foot rests.

    Thumbs down on Factory Luggage Rack - Any suggestions?

    Can you describe it? Two questions: 1. Exactly how do you prevent the second bag from rolling from one side to another when going around corners? Just cinch it down really hard? 2. How big is the bag you put on top?

    Thumbs down on Factory Luggage Rack - Any suggestions?

    I do ride solo I do ride solo. I was actually planning on carrying two dry bags. I am simply wondering if I should ask for a refund on the rack since it seems pretty. I have always had two good sized side cases, and top case, and a dry bag. The front truck F3-T is smaller than my the...

    Thumbs down on Factory Luggage Rack - Any suggestions?

    I didn't ask enough questions when I ordered a luggage rackwith my new F3-T. I am asking for suggestions as to what to do. Are there goodsized bags that would work here, or an aftermarket luggage rack that will workwith the antennae, or...? I have two major complaints: 1. Very little room. Not...

    Spyder Insurance Cost VS 2 Wheeled Bike Insurance Cost

    Plus I don't trust Geico. I went shopping and they later sent me a follow up email saying they were increasing the quote since they noticed from my credit record I was shopping. That suggests to me they want to sell a policy initially cheap and keep raising the rates.

    Installing a belt guard on a F3-T

    How hard is it to install a belt guard? Especially do I need to put the Spyder on a lift? Just wondering if I should order it and have it installed while I wait for the other things to be installed on my new Spyder. While I found lots of posts convincing me to get a belt guard, I could not...
