• 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.

    No Reverse

    My RS had some shifting issues when the temp was cold and found that if the handle bars were turned to far in either direction it wouldn't go into reverse

    Aftermarket Swaybar

    Got out my sway bar before the billet ends came standard. Would have ordered them if I would have known. Rode all summer with no problems but have the new ends for it and will be put on next week.

    Big City Thunder Baffle

    Just wondering if the baffle is installed between the cat bypass and the exhaust why you would need to drill anything? It sure can't go anywhere.

    Hand Brake for F3s

    Yes it is easier to install overall. That said if you have floor boards you may want to consider mounting the brake hardware on the stock right side foot peg mount. The floor board mount is different and in my case put the handbrake hardware to close to the engine case. Another issue that I...

    ISCI Handbrake for F3 installed

    Check with Motorcycle Dave, he might be able to give you a good price. List is about 1500 but have seen them as low as 1350

    What do you think?Buy it?

    A lot of good advise given however what I would ask is do you fit on the RS. The seating position is not for everybody and looking at the picture it looks to be bone stock as far as the seat and handle bars go. If you don't fit it can get expensive getting the handle bars just right also the...

    That Sinkin' Feeling...

    Any time I have been missing something I first look in my wife's wiener dog basket. Have found pliers, gloves and even a freakin hack saw that Cory has swiped.

    Handling 2010 RT vs 2015 RTS?

    The fox shocks that came on my F3 were about 2 inches shorter than the stock shocks on my friends 2015 RT. His mushy feel was cured with the Ron sway bar. In your case I would set the pre load on the front shocks a bit higher and that should take care of your issue.

    Front shock relocators?

    I added the shock relocator brackets on my 2010 RS. Previous to that I had put a sway bar and Elka shocks on it. Each addition helped the handling. Defenitly recomend them for spyders older than 2013. The one thing I found was that after adding the brackets I couldn't use the A arm covers.

    Cycleworld F3 T and F3 Limited Review

    No, Reverse on all spyders including those with the 1330 motor are geared. It is my understanding that the 1330 motor was designed specifically for the spyder.

    Cycleworld F3 T and F3 Limited Review

    A fiend that I ride with's Father in law has a tri-glide and I have ridden with him a few times. I say him because his wife will not even get on the tri-glide after two near death experiences. In an emergency evasive action situation the tri-glide does not react well like the spyder does...

    non-optimized frunk volume

    Wasn't it when they came out with the new design for the RT in 2013 that the 1330 motor was not ready and there were some heat problems when using the 998 motor? I'm betting you hit it right on the nose.

    Good catch.......had me scratching my head on that myself. Otherwise thought it was a good review.

    What's your opinion of your F3 Cannonball Seat?

    I would like to move an inch or so closer to the handlebars and for a minute or so thought that maybe the cannon ball seat would do the trick. If it only moves me a 1/4 inch or so for the price probably won't be cost effective. The cannon ball seat sure seems pretty pricy to try on a whim...

    BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR THIS CHECK

    We were getting calls from someone with a very heavy indian accent saying that he was from "Windows" and needed to access our computer for repair. I knew it was a scam especially when he said "no not microsoft, Windows" Finally got sick of sometimes 2 or 3 calls a day so the last time he...

    Short Rear Fender

    Thanks Bob Really would like to do something about the Gawd awful rear fender. It doesn't seem as bad as the RS but still don't like it.

    Fox Podium Shocks

    That is what suprised Jim and I. The F3 has a weak rear shock stock and the RT seems to have weak front shocks. When I put the upgraded shocks on my F3 our thinking was that stock F3 front shocks would help the mushy feel on Jim's RT when he rode with his wife. The sway bar really helps and I...

    Short Rear Fender

    I was not aware that BRP offered an alternative fender for the F3. Can you point me in the direction so I can take a look? Thanks Mike

    Fox Podium Shocks

    I gave the stock Fox shock's off my 2015 F3 to a friend who bought a 2015 RT and what we found was that the F3 shocks were about 2" shorter than the stock RT shocks. Jim plans on making brackets to make up the difference since the podium fox shocks have pre load adjustment and the rt shocks on...

    Maybe I'm missing something here but......

    Bought my 2010 RS from the Boise dealer and had it serviced there for five years with no problems. Went back to work a deal on the F3 and they were not interested in dealing with me as I had a trade in. Birds of Prey in Caldwell was all over us wanting our business and have been wonderfull...
