• 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 F3 worth 7-10k more than a RSS to you?

    In a word after owning both - Yes, but that is my opinion. You should check out both before making your decision.

    Compairison between Belt vibration --Smooth Spyder versus Baker-Built

    Haven't compared the two head to head but I do have the Baker tensioner and was suprised that it was on the top belt. I didn't expect much when I installed but was very pleasantly suprised at how well it worked.

    Dear BRP: I love you but why are you so nonsensical?

    I disagree with the premise that everyone will be paying. First of all if that is the case everyone pays for the BRp saddle bags for the F3 and every other option for each model weather they want them or not. Second there is a company completly independent of BRP that does make hand brake kits...

    Sway bar question

    Weather you pull the one off the 13 or purchase a new BajaRon sway bar it is defenitly worth doing. A friend of mine just put on on his 2015 RT and was amazed at the difference.

    New to this

    I found that the F3 is a great choice. Being almost 4 inches lower and having a more adjustable riding position I have found that there are less forces trying to push you off to the outside when cornering. Also I find the F3 is very comfortable on long rides. There are several folks that have...

    Acrapovic for f3

    For me just getting rid of the cat underneith my F3 was all I needed to do sound wise. Any louder and I would find it to loud.

    Dear BRP: I love you but why are you so nonsensical?

    The thing that suprised me when the F3 first came out was the number of folks who just like me bought and paid for their F3's and had to wait months for the hand brake kit to become available. I had thought I was alone but now know that was not the case. Also I was told that ISCI had an...

    ISCI Handbrake for F3 installed

    Well after waiting for quite a while I now have the ISCI handbrake installed on my F3. The install was fairly straight forward with only a few glitchs. One of the things we found was with the floor boards all the way back (short leg position) it did not appear that the slave cylinder gear...

    Wish me luck as I may take the plunge to Spyder ownership Tomorrow!

    With the RT riding 2 up the Baja Ron sway bar and links would be nice to start with right out of the door. Better front shocks would also be nice. With the F3 the Baja Ron sway bar and links and a better rear shock if riding 2 up would be recomended. Either one will be a great machine for...

    On the fence

    The one thing I do like about my 2015 F3 is if I don't want to ride with the saddle bags they come off easily and you can't tell they were ever on it. Not sure how the 16 bags are mounted. From the pictures they look to be permanent. Other than that I like the F3T Oh and I like that my F3...

    First time riding experience on a Spyder (F3-S)

    The one thing that has always served me well is that I always assume that I am invisible to all other motorists. I also never ride next to another vehicle in another lane, I am either ahead or behind but never right next to.

    First steps to begin riding. spyder

    In Idaho if you complete the STARS safety course you don't have to take the state riding test to get your endorsement. You may want to ask about whatever state program in Florada that may be available.

    Shifting Into Neutral on SE6

    I talked with my tech when I bought the F3 and he told me leaving it in gear at lights etc... is no problem with the 1330 motor SE6 trans. He said that the clutch on the new motor was designed with this in mind.

    F3 ISCI Hand Brake

    Well when we got back from puppy class for our German Shepard pup (now 15 weeks old) UPS had dropped off the hand brake kit for my F3. I will be installing it this weekend and will say if it works as good as it looks, should be a winner.

    Do Red Spyders get more Ticikets?

    I guess my F3 is technically red (looks orange to me) but have had no problems. Also had 2 red Miata's and currently have a red Scion FRS with no tickets on any. I actually was watched a lot more in our MR2 spyder that was yellow.

    Weight differences

    Could be wrong but didn't they also go with 15 in wheels and tires in 13 over the 14's on previous models? am assuming that would also add at least some weight.
