• 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.

    Glad to hear that everyone walked away. Machinery can be replaced!

    What would you choose? Spyder vs Ryker

    I have to agree with the thought that if you want to go long distance on paved roads, pick the F3. If dirt roads and local rides are your thing, pick the Ryker. I picked the F3 because my wife and I like touring, I can't sit on an RT without severe pain and I have a Jeep for dirt roads; but if...

    Spyder F3T Garage Door Opener

    Nice presentation! I've done the same, just a different button. I also added a connector so that if I have to strip that panel off, I don't have to unsecure the opener or mess with unscrewing terminals to do it.

    What roadside service ?

    AAA+ here also. I've not had to use it for the Spyder... yet (knock on wood) but did for my Electra Glide; they sent a flatbed and did a good job.

    F3 Limited trunk issue?

    I bought a factory trunk to put on my 2017 F3T. It has the same issue, so far not a problem as long as I make sure that the lid tabs align with the trunk body when closing the lid. I will say that I have owned many motorcycles over the years that had trunks/tour packs and the F3 trunk lid is...

    Do you use motorcycle parking spaces?

    I use auto spaces as bike spaces around here are too small for a Spyder.

    Has anyone installed satellite radio on 2018-19?

    I still use an ancient Roady because it doesn't have touch controls, it uses actual push buttons. It's also possible to buy a waterproof cover for it. When washing the Spyder, I either dismount it or cover it with a sandwich bag. I've seen NOS units available on eBay and elsewhere. They're...

    Turn signal wire harness replacement

    Make sure that the dealer checks for other damage... my 2017 was rodent infested while in the crate. The dealer fixed the chewed wires but ignored the rat leavings that were deposited throughout the F3T. It took a complaint to BRP's corporate CS to make them clean it up.

    What kind of Cup holder do you have?

    Generic bicycle water bottle holder attached to a RAM mount that is bolted to Lamont's handlebar top cap. I've used the same or very similar setup for years on different bikes.

    Wait for it ........................

    I may have to start calling my F3 a "Spyker"... I've already got 'em confused with "Spyder", there not being too many out here in the wilds of NV, this would be just one more layer of confusion for the uninitiated.

    Integrated communications system

    If you want to route music to the MotoChello or the J&M, it can be done. I used the same audio output and cable intended for use with the Sena transmitter. I got the cable from Motorcycle Dave. See this thread for details.

    Integrated communications system

    Looks like all of their U.S. dealers have either shut their doors or don't carry the complete Starcom1 kit anymore with the exception of Spoiled Biker. You might want to call them to see if they actually have the kits in stock. An alternative is the MotoChello system, I have it installed on my...

    Can AM F3 top case - any buyers regret?

    I got mine from eBay, a little cheaper than dealer price. Mine did not include the amp (and I didn't want it anyway) but the speakers came with the top case. Be aware that the top case, the top case side panels and the amp are three separate items.

    Do we like modular helmets or not???

    I normally wear a 3/4 helmet but switch to a modular in poor weather.

    Radio Update s.19 - what does it actually do?

    When I installed the top case on my 2017 F3T, the instructions called for downloading and installing radio update file s.19; I've downloaded it but don't want to install it until I know what it does. The section of the instructions concerning the software update starts with this statement...

    Who Rides a Spyder to Work?

    I do, weather permitting. I got in one riding day last month.

    Review: F3L Top Case installed on F3T

    Stiff, I think you've got all the steps (and I plan to add a waterproof plug to the USB power connection as I have some factory plugs on hand), but I'd have to mount/dismount the trunk quite a few times to get it down to 5 minutes. Another question... what do you do for a radio antenna when...

    Review: F3L Top Case installed on F3T

    Yes, it is. I thought the Victory top box lids were flimsy, but this is a whole 'nother dimension of fragile. Mine closes properly, now that I've shaved the lock's bolt recess so that it doesn't keep the bolt from engaging.

    Review: F3L Top Case installed on F3T

    An update: On my 2017 F3T, the connection to power the USB port in the trunk doesn't exist. Not that big a deal as I have an auxiliary fuse box mounted under the passenger seat and will trace the wiring, cut the plug from the trunk harness and power it through the auxiliary fuse block. That...

    What is your definition of "warm enough to ride"?

    Gotta be above freezing and no ice/snow on my street (it's never plowed) or driveway.
