• 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.

    All New Brake Pads ‘16 F3L

    I believe it was on Ron’s instruction sheet for EBC pads as well as on the packaging materials. The idea is to heat the pads up when you bring the Spyder down from 60mph to 20 but not stopping because you don’t wants the pads to cool off.

    All New Brake Pads ‘16 F3L

    Just thought I would share my experience; got a full set of brake pads from BajaRon, thank you Ron. I watched some videos, looked at my shop manual, got all of the tools needed and went to work. Raised the Spyder, pulled the front wheels and changed the front pads which was pretty straight...

    J&S Motorcycle jack for a Spyder

    I have the J&S jack with an adapter for my Indian Roadmaster. It works extremely well and is solid as a rock. I would bet that a Spyder adapter would work just fine.

    Cooper rear tire

    That is a good looking tire and should do well on your Spyder. Let us know your experience.

    Federal tires

    Many of us ride the Yokahama S-Drive 205/55/15 with excellent result. Traction has always been excellent. I have about 8,000 miles and may see another 8,000 before a change is needed. i’ve heard the size is very close to the originals.

    F3T - New front shock or new sway bar first ?

    I changed the front tires to Continental Contipro Contac 175/55/15 and was amazed at the improvement so much that i could have stopped there. Then I added Elka Stage 2 up front and a Yokahama S Drive in the rear - poke a fork in me as I am done.:thumbup:

    Neck & Shoulder Pain Resolved

    My understanding is that the short bars are for people that need a longer reach. I went with the ROX mod because it had more adjustment than just the bars. I have a Mustang seat and backrest that complete the setup.

    Neck & Shoulder Pain Resolved

    Sometimes an inch or two of bar placement can make all the difference. BTW I notice that i have to lean more than i used to on turns with the bars being closer. :thumbup:

    Neck & Shoulder Pain Resolved

    Here are some pictures from the handlebar riser install. I’m pleased that the stock look is retained but a lot more adjustment has resulted.

    Neck & Shoulder Pain Resolved

    Just wanted to share: I have been trying to resolve this issue with different handlebar positions and finally tried https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/rox-2-pivot-risers-for-1-18-handlebars rather than BRP’s short reach bars. Long and short of it - it worked. The install was very straight...

    OEM tires improved?

    I would sell my F3L before putting Kendas back on. The originals were out of round and a back replacement Kenda from my dealer vibrated from when it was new and balanced. I had to add ride-on to ride on it.:banghead:

    Which is the best Belt Tensioner for an F3 LTD?

    I have about 16,000 miles on a Smooth Spyder for my ‘16 F3L. It cured the vibration issue and is built like a tank.

    Got rear-ended in my truck. Glad I was not on my Spyder

    Hate to hear that, hopefully the drunk learned his lesson. One can only imagine the Spyder being involved instead of the truck. Glad you’re okay!
