• 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.

    Do I really need a GPS?

    The difference between need and want is the question I see. Does anyone need one? I don't need one but I wanted one so I have a Garmin Zumo XT. Everyone has different wants and needs. Just my opinion which is only worth the paper it's written on.:sour:

    The most dangerous place on earth for me.

    Pete, I can kinda understand where you are coming from. I didn't fall down the stairs but have had knee problems for the last 41 years. Now at almost 74 years young, I have two artificial knees after 11 surgeries on them. You will recover and be moving forward. Listen to the medical specialists...

    How reliable are spyders?

    My wife bought her first Spyder in 2010, an RT after having both of her hips replaced. After two knee replacements and a pacemaker put in, I sold my two wheel touring rig and got a 2016 F3T. Wife rode my F3 and in 2017 she went to a 2017 F3L. Two years ago, we had some friends ask to ride them...

    Who has a Garmin Zumo XT & is using a Lock - what lock? Thoughts?

    I purchased the lock from MotoPumps for the Garmin XT. It does everything that I want it to do. At night I take the GPS off and put it in the trunk.

    Anyone seen a Brake Light Flasher Kit for the Top Case light?

    Spyderpops had them. They were plug and play for the trunk light. You may have to call and talk to Harvey. I put one in mine and my wife's F3Ls.

    Highway RPM - F3T vs F3L

    I have a 2016 F3T and my wife has a 2017 F3L. My RPMs at highway speeds are about 500 more than hers. The difference is due to the different rear sprocket.

    Just finished watching Top-gun - beats all the hype!

    My wife has seen it 13 times so far. When it came out, I bought it for her so she would stop going to the theater to watch it.

    Wisecracks about Spyder

    When I was riding my Kawasaki Nomad I was filling up and a guy said "nice harley" I told him it was a Kawasaki, then he just railed on me for not riding a real bike. As he was filling up his Chevy pickup truck I said what was wrong with him cause he wasn't driving a Dodge pickup. He looked at me...

    Winterizing questions - how to prepare Spyder for cold storage?

    Here in Minnesota we put Seafoam in the gas tank and fill it up, run it for about 10 minutes. We store our F3Ls in an enclosed trailer plugged into power, and stored then in a pole barn. Don't worry about the cold weather. In the spring they have always started up with no problem.

    Where can I get a Large Adjustment Knob for F3 Driver's Backrest?

    you might try and take the screw to a hardware store and see if they have anything with the same thread but a bigger head. otherwise maybe a place that handles nuts and bolts for construction.

    October Weather News

    Well it's 34 degrees here in the Minneapolis and Saint Paul area. Unfortunately we got about a half inch of that dreaded white stuff over night. They're forecasting rain/snow showers for most of today. Time to clean up the Spyders and get them ready for hibernation. Bummer.

    Want to install GPS on 2020 RTL, which one to order? What's the difference?

    I had a Tom Tom Rider 3 for about 5 years and always had trouble seeing the screen in the bright sunlight. I added a Sunblocker shade but it didn't help much. Several weeks ago I got the Zumo XT from Lamonster with the handlebar camp mount for $629. The difference between the two is...

    Parking brake issue still.....

    When this happened to my F3, I got fault codes for the switch and actuator motor. I replaced them both and no more problems. The cost was $250 total for both parts.

    Any former RT riders unhappy they moved to an F3 Ltd?

    My wife went from a 2010 RT to a 2017 F3L and says the handling and seating position is perfect for her. Cheri is 5'10" tall and totally enjoys her F3L. She states the steering is better and more responsive. The choice of which one to get is which one works the best for you.

    Parking brake fail - any ideas on where to start? Many factors to consider....
