• 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.

    Changing oil on f3-s procedure/guide

    My understanding is that the SE6 and SM6 have slightly different oil capacities. I believe Lamont made a post about it.

    Craigslist caution

    I've sold stuff via Craigslist. Yes, I get the emails and txt messages from scammers and those are easy and obvious to weed out. I then get the dreamers who will talk my ear off, but they are just window shopping. I then get the low ballers who are trying to get a good deal, but still don't...

    F3 with Blue Ridge - Modifications to help with turbulence

    . Lots of factors at play. Shields are kinda like seats for many. Everyone's butt is different, etc. Some people have better luck than others with the same shield due to height, helmet, custom seat changing posture/position, etc... And some people don't know what it is like to have a properly...

    Dealer Attitude

    I've used three dealers out of state while traveling. One for a tire change mid trip. No issues, no waiting. Two for emergency repairs mid trip. They took me right in. Both took parts off of brand new Spyders to get me back on the road. My local dealer serviced my spyder and squeaked me in...

    Toy Hauler

    I had a 22 foot Continental Cargo toy hauler... No frills, but the garage area was 15' so it had plenty of room for the spyder or an actually car. It was basic, but had drop down beds, kitchen area with microwave and stove top... No oven and fridge was 110volt only (previous owner cheaped out...

    F3 Sport Mode by Bosch

    I'm betting they will not allow it to be flashed to 2015 and 2016 models. I'm not sure but the assumption there is that the cluster on the 2015/2016 do not have the sport mode indicator light which any BRP lawyer will tell you should be required. Can it be done? Yes it can. We know it can at...

    F3 with Blue Ridge - Modifications to help with turbulence

    . Mark, The F4 was a huge improvement over the BRP Blue Ridge as well the Gufason... But still didn't solve all the head shake at higher speeds. Made it better? Yes indeed. I still ended up getting the MRA X Screen after realizing that the shields needed a knurl at the top edge to kick the air...

    Pit Bull F3 P B 1 Performance package

    . That is the rumor... RT bar is same thickness as BajaRon bar... Not sure if material is same grade. It certainly is an upgrade, but a recycled one that you are paying for if that is the case.

    Summer Boot preference

    These are fantastic. Been using a pair since 2009 and about to buy a new pair finally. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/59652/i/axo-striker-9-to-5-shoes

    Most powerful Rotax engine

    That is a marine motor. Same issue as with the 255HP skidoo motors.... They produce that power but you have to remember that they use fresh cool water from lakes/oceans/etc to cool the engine... Something that would be very difficult to do on a Spyder without adding a bunch more cooling.

    Must Have Tools for F3

    , I agree in part. That roadside coverage is something we should all have for the catastrophic stuff. I'll contrast though the difference in owning my 2008 vs my 2017 F3. For the 2008 which had a bigger trunk I ended up carrying a decent tool kit and a spares kit. I might have over done it...

    Buying a demo

    Dealers can buy a demo unit at either 10% or 15% discount off their typical cost. Think about that. Now do you think he is offering you a good deal?

    F3 Shocks Adjustment nut size?

    Anyone know what the fox shock locking adjustment nut sizes are? I can order two adjustable spanner wrenches but looking to see if anyone knows the exact size as a dedicated wrench would be higher quality.

    Portable GPS Units

    I've been using regular GPS on the Spyders for 33k miles. I'm on my 2nd unit in almost 8 years... So that is a lot cheaper than the dedicated weather proof ones. I used a RAM Aquabox on my old spyder to weather proof the GPS. On the F3, I'm just going to take it off the mount and put it away...

    Sena 10s Bass inprovment

    Quick question... How does the bass boosting app affect quality of phone calls? Are you making any trade offs there? Yeah I know... I use my Senas to most listen to music but sometimes take or make calls.

    Riding On Wet Surfaces

    With the stock Kendas you will hydroplane the rear. Done it many times... even a couple on purpose. Sypder is fairly predictable when hydroplaning the rear as long as the fronts stay planted. I've only had one very bad experience hitting some standing water at speed and got lucky... But without...

    registration cost up

    Bob, I'm from NY originally. NY charges you full sales tax up front, where as NC does not. I believe in NY the weight is used to determine the difference between general passenger vehicles and say, F-250's on up? In NC if towing anything other than a small utility trailer or camper you have to...

    registration cost up

    Bob, My Property tax on the house is one bill that includes the Property tax, School tax and garbage pickup... House assessed at $151k... That bill is Just over $1600 for everything.

    registration cost up

    . Property Tax right? The flip side is you pay less sales tax up front. It is like that here in NC and FYI... The Dems controlled both the state legislature and the state house for years and never changed it. It works out in the long run if you keep your vehicles a long time. Must be one hell...
