• 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.

    Has Anyone Switched fron an F3-T to a Ryker?

    I've often considered floorboards, but never bought any. I'm hesitant to lay out the cash if I'm not sure they will improve things for me. Especially since there are so many to choose from and my mechanical skills are nil (so I'd have to also pay for installation. :( ) Good thought though...

    Has Anyone Switched fron an F3-T to a Ryker?

    Good to hear that they worked for you. Until now, I thought that I was the only one with hip cramps! I'm going to give them a try.

    Has Anyone Switched fron an F3-T to a Ryker?

    Just to be clear - between the F3 and Ryker, you would sell the F3 even though it's "WAY more comfortable"? Is that what you meant to say?

    Has Anyone Switched fron an F3-T to a Ryker?

    Forgot to mention -- I already use an Airhawk along with a Russell custom seat to sit a bit higher. It helps but doesn't completely solve the problem for me. I agree with everyone that I need to take a test ride. But I doubt that a dealer would allow to go more than 8-10 miles, which doesn't...

    Has Anyone Switched fron an F3-T to a Ryker?

    .....or from any F3 to a Ryker? If so, I'd love to hear your experiences, both positive and negative. I'm thinking of making the switch because, after just over 2 years on my F3-T, I still get painful cramps in my hips. I've tried different seats, an Airhawk pad, adjusting footpeg positions...

    Does Anyone Tow Their Spyder with a Subaru Outback?

    Those numbers match the research that I've done. But from what I've read, 2700 requires a trailer with brakes. Right now, I know NOTHING about trailers and towing. (I've never towed anything....) So, I'm not sure what "trailer with brakes" really means. I've been to Yellowstone and am not...

    Does Anyone Tow Their Spyder with a Subaru Outback?

    As mentioned in another thread, I'm considering "snowbirding" with my Spyder for part of the winter starting in a few years. Wherever I end up, I will need to tow my Spyder (2016 F3-T) to the destination and back. My current car is a 2011 Subaru Outback 2.5 w/CVT. Only has about 79K miles on...

    Anyone Here Also Ride a Maxi-Scooter?

    After ryding today, I'm starting to think that maybe I'm not as pleased with the Spyder as perhaps I should be. The main issue for me remains the general lack of comfort. My F3-T forces my legs to splay out which, after two years of ownership now, still gives me pain and cramps in the hips...

    Any recommendations for Dealing with Hand/Wrist Pain?

    OP here .. Yes, I was looking for mechanical aids and/or riding techniques - not medication. BTW - it's been diagnosed as osteo-arthritis. Thanks for all the responses, everyone!

    Any recommendations for Dealing with Hand/Wrist Pain?

    I'm at the age where arthritis is creeping into my hands and wrists. So, I find it a bit painful to adjust the throttle while riding after awhile, and the pain lingers long after the ride as well. I use a "cramp buster" but cramping is no longer the issue - the issue now is pain. So, I'm...

    Frequency of Getting Laser Alignment?

    Shortly after purchasing my 2016 F3-T two years ago, I got it laser aligned. I've now put about 10-11K miles on it since then and am wondering whether I should have it aligned again. How frequently do you get your spyder laser aligned? Thanks!

    How to Remove the Seat on an F3-T?

    I forgot the procedure for removing the seat on my 2016 F3-T, and can't readily find it in the online manual. I'd like to check the air pressure in the cushion under the seat, so the seat's gotta come off. Can anyone help me out on how to do this? Thanks!
