• 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.

    2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?

    Yes, I had a 2018 F3L and the sprocket was changed 3 different times and now on my 2023 F3L. I agree about covering it if out of warranty, it should NOT be an issue and it IS a safety issue. Maybe NHTSA needs involved, but better yet, BRP NEEDS TO FIX THIS! Thank you, it is harder for me to make...

    2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?

    I think that's great you have a safety inspection! Well, my dealer felt bad about this for sure. This happened April 8 and he put on a new rear tire April 7, also new rear brakes. I did not ask him to check the whole Spyder because he squoze me in for the tire and brakes. We have inspections...

    Check out this Rock on the road!

    What a bummer! A few years ago, I hit a 4 inch rock on the road...one of those country roads where the sunshine and shade can play tricks with your eyes...blew out my sidewall on my left front tire.

    2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?

    Well, I know the output shaft on my 2018 was fine, even though I had three sprockets replaced. What we are finding out with the 2023 is poor metal hardness of the sprocket leading to poor fitness of the splines of the output shaft and the sprocket. With the poor metal hardness of the sprocket...

    2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?

    Lol, traffic and sun screen! Well, it's going to be warm here in Florida this week so we already need the sunscreen, but I'm not complaining! I was happy to not have to ride in heated gear on Saturday to get down here! I understand what you're saying about the root cause... I just wonder what...

    2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?

    Snowbelt, on my 2018, Ryan at Hanover changed the previous sprockets when he spotted that "red dust of death"...one time I had only traveled another 8,000 miles and it was time to change it again...

    2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?

    Deanna, I'm glad you have had no issues! How many miles do you have on yours now? Thank you so much! TommyG is talking to our #1 dealer/mechanic from Hanover right now and he is saying the same thing as you about the Loctite. He says once it gets hot, it's going to cure. And we have a picture...

    2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?

    Thank you for sharing that... Gosh, I hate to be the guinea pig sometimes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. So here's a question, could it be possible that there was an "old style" sprocket installed? I hope I get to see the sprocket and I know my dealer/mechanic in Hanover, PA would like...

    2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?

    The sprocket on my 2023 was never replaced - there was no recall on that model year. It's OEM. It should not be an issue. BRP put it together at the factory. I was referring to the older model Spyders (like my 2018 that had so many sprocket issues). I'm disappointed to have to deal with this...

    2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?

    FINAL UPDATE: So....after we made our way back to Charlotte from Florida (we spent way too many days in Charlotte on this trip, lol) turns out the output shaft is fine! (My service technician in PA said it WOULD be!) BRP asked for some measurements and everything was as it should be so NO NEW...

    New Old guy - introducing myself and my 2015 F3S!

    Welcome from Shippenville, PA, neighbor! That's a great looking F3... congratulations! I had a CAT delete on my 2018 with Lamont's S pipe and baffles. Rode it 50,000 miles that way and the baffle needed replacing by that time. I sold that F3 in 2024 and I now have a 2023 F3L SES with the OEM...

    Gas cap won’t unlock - any suggestions to help?

    I had issues on my 2018 F3. Used PB blaster, but it never lasted. Someone suggested graphite powder, so I used that once and never had to use it again. Are you able to get the key into the lock now? If so, you could try and get some graphite powder in. Before the graphite powder, I thought I...

    Do you know of any other Spyder/Ryker/Canyon YouTube channels?

    I know this channel - Purple On Three - her channel is predominantly about Spyders, specifically the F3, but she also shows a Harley from time to time, lol. Thank you so much for the mention. I rode in Europe last year for the first time and loved it! Another one I've thought of - Shockwave...
