• 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.

    BRP hitch install question

    Mine was exactly the same, with that cutout. I dealt with it by doing the same to the other side but cleaned up the cut so it follows the molding lines. Now both sides are the same and it sorta looks like it should be like that. I did complain to the dealer when it was fitted but was told the...

    2016 F3 Ltd rear rim width

    With respect to all concerned, if you have a tire "wearing out down the centre" this indicates over-inflation.

    Windshield. F4 or Madstad? Vent or not?

    Why do you say polycarbonate is crap? If anything, it's far stronger than acrylic. FYI I'm using a vented F4 21" screen on my F3L. It's polycarb, and very good.

    I think I got the top box lid error figured out.

    A short piece of black heatshrink tubing over the pin in the lid, maybe 30mm/1.25" long. After shrinking it and it's cooled off, trim to about 1/4" past the pin. A quick & easy fix, end of problem.

    Almost Time For Second Service - Now? Or Wait Until Spring?

    Easy solution - move over here to Australia. There's no such thing as a riding season here, we ride all year round. OK, it rains sometimes but that's all.

    Which hitch for the F3

    When I bought my F3Ltd back in early '17, the Classic towbar was not available so the only choice was the 'official' BRP hitch (at an official BRP price). I was told that the warranty would be void if I fitted a third party hitch. Yes, it does shake the trailer (a small Classic) a bit but not as...

    Can AM F3 top case - any buyers regret?

    I got a top case fitted to my 2016 F3Ltd and had a few minor problems with it. Firstly, the central stop/tail light fitted to the case was a dummy. That's right, there was no lamps fitted at all. It was just a black piece of plastic in the same shape as the tail/stop lamp assembly but...

    Which IPOD Compatible with F3

    I'm using a iPod Nano 7th gen and it works fine on my 2016 F3 Ltd. The only complaint I have with the Canam menu system is when you select playlists it always goes to the first playlist, not the next one.

    2016 F3 Limited with F4 Customs windshield

    Hence the suggestion of a face-to-face meeting. Nothing like actually trying one that's already installed, and in the same city too :)

    2016 F3 Limited with F4 Customs windshield

    Hi Bob, apologies for the delay in replying. I don't log on here very often and currently recovering from total hip replacement surgery. I'm 180cm high and nowhere near that wide. Going by my experience the 21" screen should be OK for you as we are about the same height. Contact me on...

    wierd park brake fault

    Thanks Peter Yep, that’s where I bought it. Terry is very knowledgeable on these vehicles. They could not recover any error codes. Maybe next time. The other major dealer (and we know who that is don’t we?) are utterly and totally useless regarding anything to do with Spyders. Useless bunch of...

    wierd park brake fault

    Thanks for your replies. I'm waiting for it to happen again so I can attempt to grab an error code. I've told the dealer that the problem is still here. Last time they couldn't recover the error code as it was several days since the incident and naturally, everything worked normally. Grrr

    F3 LTD Frunk?

    You're right, removing the fruckit is easy but doing it over and over is a real pain. At the moment it is installed without the pins. The problem that requires it to be removed is described in the post "weird park brake fault" Thanks for your replies.

    wierd park brake fault

    I’ve had an occasional fault with my F3 LTD where the park brake display remains ON no matter whether the brake switch is ON or OFF. When the fault occurs, if I try to switch the ignition OFF I get the alarm sounding telling me that the brake is not engaged even though the brake display is ON...

    F3 LTD Frunk?

    I think a better name would be the 'Fruckit' ( for front bucket of course! ). After having to pull it out numerous times to access the battery (I'll explain this in a later post) Fruckit seems more appropriate. If you were watching me work on this beast you'd be hearing something similar all...

    FYI: Top Case Kit for 2016-2017 F3T

    They have arrived at the Canam dealer in Essendon, Melbourne, Australia, but are incomplete. The colour panels that will complete the topcase will not be available until June. This is a deal killer for me as I need it for a major trip late May.

    2016 F3 Limited with F4 Customs windshield

    I recently fitted the F4 21" vented screen to my 2016 F3 Ltd. Very impressed with it. My line of sight is about 1 1/2" over the top of the screen where it should be, turbulence is way over my head, and the vent is just right. Delivery to Australia was fast and installation was a breeze - 4 bolts...

    F3 Limited Trailer Wiring

    I'm guessing as I'm going through the same process myself, but I suspect that it won't directly fit an F3 LTD because the radio/audio system already uses the required power connector under the pillion seat. I'm guessing that the power wiring needs to be spliced at this point to run the trailer...

    another transmission mode?

    I’ve been having a think lately about the possibilties of a third mode of transmission for the F3. First we already have a 6 speed manual - obvious really and possibly the best solution for someone who has just given up 2 wheels. Secondly we have the semi automatic for those who can’t handle...
