• 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.

    Passenger Seat Stuck -- any advice?

    I attempted to remove my passenger seat yesterday so that I could install the backrest and found that the seat is stuck. We took the side panel out and found the release cable and we pulled on it with no luck. We're out of ideas. Any advice out there? Thanks in advance.

    automatic and steep grades?

    As I was headed down the mountain the other day and read the sign "save your brakes, use a lower gear" and smelling all the burning brakes from cars where the drivers apparently don't know how to get to their lower gears with their automatics I wondered about the Ryker -- I know NOTHING about...

    new wheel lug nuts?

    While I was at the homecoming I bought new wheels (couldn't pass up the deal!). I didn't open the box and they're being shipped home. I didn't think about it and didn't ask...do they come with new lug nuts that match the color? I'll find out when I get them, but thought I'd ask in case I need...

    pulling to the left only when braking?

    When I'm just driving along, my spyder does not pull to the left, but when braking, I notice a definite pull to the left, and if I (or the nanny) brakes hard, it REALLY goes left. This seems new to me, and I recently added wheel balancers on the front (not sure if that makes any difference)...

    $20 promo discount on TricLED Centramatic Wheel Balancers

    Just in case someone is interested in these, figured I'd share the promo discount. I was wondering if anyone has used these in the past. I just ordered a set for my F3 because about every 3rd or 4th new set of front tires, I can tell my tires aren't as balanced as they could be. I'm tired of...

    well I thought I'd heard everything by now

    but I was wrong. Today I pulled over to check on some motorcycles, one of whom had an issue with his ride.... and one of them asked, "Do you have a bathroom on that thing?" wow! I just laughed and said I couldn't help them there :)

    How to remove the lateral console panel?

    We have some fender lights we want to install on the new F3 base model and it looks like we have to go up to the instrument cluster -- also we have cruise control to install. Wondering how everyone did that without removing the lateral console panel on the right-hand side. But... we have the...

    ghost fire & fender fire

    I already shared the final paint job with the Facebook groups, but hadn't had a chance to upload pictures here. Dale Daniel http://daledanielart.com/ finished the paint job on Pete. I will be the first to admit that the ghost fire on the hood is hard to see except in person, but that's also...

    we're going to be a 2 F3 family!

    My husband has a hard time prying open his wallet. When JayMac was selling his spyder, he thought it over just a bit too long before deciding that deal wouldn't come along again in the near future, and we missed out. Since then he's been regretting it which is unusual for him to regret making...

    Going road warrior

    I took my hood and front fenders off for custom paint, and figured I won't be able to ride the F3 for the next 3-4 weeks. My husband who is an HVAC guy was out in the garage making parts for a job and next time I went out there, I found this.

    are the front tires supposed to lock with parking brake on?

    I'm taking parts off for painting and had the F3 jacked up. The parking brake is on, but we noticed the front wheels turn -- is this normal?

    tested for heat issues

    last Thursday night on the news, they announced that old Fall River Road in Rocky Mountain National Park had finally re-opened from repairs from the September 2013 floods. Since Don was working Friday and I had the day off, I figured I'd head up to the park and drive on it. It's a dirt road...

    painting the fenders?

    I'm going to get custom paint on the fenders and hood of my spyder. For those of you with the F3-S who've gotten your fenders painted -- did you just remove the reflectors or can you/did you remove that top plastic part or, how did you work that? Thanks in advance for any input/advice.

    can am red touch up paint color?

    so there have been a few times that strangers have sat on my ride while I was on errands. I've yet to catch anyone at it and I now use my spyder systers cover to prevent this, but there are chips in my "can am red" frame that I'd like to take care of. Does anyone here know what paint color...

    f3 akrapovic muffler

    so awhile back I got my backordered akrapovic muffler. I wasn't sure how I felt about it. Part of my problem was that the weather was bad and I couldn't ride much before we went on a long vacation. I was lucky to have a nice day to drop the spyder off at the dealership before we left, and...

    we have another convert

    We went to the demo days today. My husband misses the RT, so that's what he signed up to ride. I chose the RSS since I always liked them and thought that was going to be my next spyder (before the F3 came out). A friend of ours rode the F3 and liked it. First: My experience with the RSS. I...

    Trail Ridge Road is open!

    I took a drive up into Rocky Mountain National Park today and they've finally got Trail Ridge Road open. Love going up there and seeing just how deep the snow can get. Amazing! Ugh! sorry about the 90 degree picture. I don't know what to do about that :(

    F3 bumpskid

    so for anyone who has the bumpskid installed on their F3 -- does yours also go so far away from the body on the sides? My RT bump skid didn't do this. My husband thinks SpyderPops sent me the wrong bumpskid. :gaah:

    thoughts on my accessories

    This is long, so skip it unless you really care! I went on vacation last month and left my F3 at the dealership where they could install the rest of the back-ordered accessories. They got them all done except the saddlebags which are still on back-order. I saw them on someone else's post here...

    Have any experience with Mo-Door garage door opener

    Since switching to the F3, I no longer have a "glove box" to store the garage door opener. I've been keeping it in my pocket, but I have several coats, so if I happen to forget to move it from one coat to another, I get to hop off and enter the garage code and then hop back on. I wanted to...
