• 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.

    Need Help ordering from Spyder Store - what am I missing here?

    Do you have some kind of Ad Blocker or Script Blocker on your computer. I often have to disable those when ordering online.

    Can't shift from N while rolling?

    I have shifted from neutral to 1st a couple of time while still rolling, one time after I inadvertently hit the kill switch. I had to LIGHTLY press the brake pedal while I hit the starter button and then shifted it back to 1st gear, all while rolling up to a toll booth.

    2018 F3-T shifting disaster

    As Billybovine mentioned, see attached Service Bulletin 2018-5, sorry for the poor quality of the poster. My shifter paddle was replaced under warranty back in 2018, while the problems seems to have been mostly with downshifting, some like myself have had problems with upshifting...

    Shifting problem - SE6 won't select N without using R button! Ideas?

    Have you tried manually downshifting while riding and did it work. There was a service bulletin in 2018-2019 about the shifting paddle going bad on the 2018's and it had to be replaced, that problem mostly affected downshifting. Sorry for the poor quality of the poster.

    Difference in SE6 downshift under braking?

    I have noticed multiple times that the transmission will downshift earlier if you're applying the brakes.

    Trip odometer not working (temporarily)...

    Well, first of all, it is possible to PAUSE the trip meters. However, even if you accidentally did pause it, I think you would know if you enabled it again. Just saying!

    F3-S stuck in 2nd gear

    Manual or semi-automatic? If automatic, you should still be able to push it around because the clutch should not be engaged with the engine not running. If manual, you should be able to shift it to neutral.

    High pitched sound

    The sound you hear after shutting down is normal, it has to do with a solenoid staying active to keep something opened (or is it closed) for a while in the throttle body. However, I doubt that you would hear that sound while the engine is running.

    Battery Tender for 2020 RT

    If the Spyder came with a pre-installed connection, it was from the dealer not BRP, some are known to do that.

    Battery Tender for 2020 RT

    Connect the pigtail shown in the photo directly to the battery, that's what I had to do with my 2018.

    2010 SE5 sometimes won't select a gear??

    Remember, when shifting from neutral to first or reverse, you must keep your feet on the brake pedal. Are you doing that?
