• 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.

    To Spyderfest Regulars: Do shock vendors (Elka, Fox, etc.) typically attend Spyderfest? If so, do they perform installations? Thanks!

    F3 "Idler Wheel Kit"

    Ordered this (through the dealer) about a month ago. At that time, it said availability Sept 12th. Nothing yet. Has anybody received one yet? :dontknow:

    Radiator Fans Running too often/too long

    I did a search and didn't come up with this topic...so...I'm putting this in the general discussion forum instead of the F3 forum because it is really a 1330 issue, not specifically an F3 issue. My 2015 'F3 runs at 4 bars (heat) and never goes above that....good! However, the fans run about 50%...

    Miles to replace >>F3<< Rear tire?

    I've seen the "when do I replace my rear tire" threads several times over the years, but I haven't see any reference to the F3. I'm at about 7,500 now and not even close to the tire wear indicators. Question: Has anyone replaced a rear F3 tire yet and if so, at what mileage? :dontknow:

    2016 Spyderfest - Indiana

    Thought I'd start this thread again (2016 version) If you're going to Spyderfest this year, just jump in and say so and in a couple of weeks, after we see who all has responded, perhaps we could set a meet-up day/time just to catch up (or get introduced). I'll try to remember to get back on...

    Checking Coolant Level/Excessive Fan Activation

    This is a continuation of a previous thread where I was asking about why my fan keeps coming on so often. Example: On a ride yesterday in 65-degree temps with almost no stop-and-go traffic, the fan came on several times an hour, usually for at least a 5-minute duration. ??? Comments on that...

    F3 Fan Running Way Too Much

    Has anyone else noticed the fan coming on repeatedly, even in cool weather when cruising and not "pushing" the engine? I had the dealer put it on the machine and it reported a good bill of health. It is always at 4 bars and isn't throwing any codes, but the fan probably runs 15 minutes or more...

    Wall Street Journal Spyder Article

    Just discovered that the WSJ is doing a write-up on the Spyder in the weekend edition. FYI :ani29:

    Old Problem...new question

    With apologies to the old timers here who are sick of basic questions, I need to know the following: Can you post an iPhone video to the site and, if so, how do you go about it? Are there step-by-step instructions anywhere? Thanks! :dontknow:

    BRP's Saddlebag Priority System?

    I ordered my cross-country bags on Nov 25th, 2014. They still aren't in. However, while in Phoenix, I stopped by a local dealer and they had 2 sets in inventory!!! WTF? So, I had them install the bags so I could use them on the trip back to Indiana (I had fastened a couple of backpacks to...

    F3 Vibration "Work-Around"

    This is one of two threads I'll be writing related to my recent trip from Indiana to Arizona and back (3,565 miles) on my F3S. This thread relates to how I dealt with the 4K rpm vibrations. For those who don't know it yet, the F3 can turn into a vibrator anywhere between 60-80 mph in 5th or...

    For those of you considering driver floorboards...

    A little experimenting with your foot (as I'm sure most of us have discovered) makes buying the $500 floorboards unnecessary. If you just leave the front of your foot on the peg and pivot your ankle, you can rest your heel on the peg support bar and have a level, flat support. Wouldn't want...

    MRA X-Creen

    Does anyone know if this product is "generic" in the sense that it will fit any windscreen? Or, do they make one specially sized for each m/c brand. The videos I've watched seem to show the same X-Creen on different bikes. Is this correct? If so, I'm thinking of trying it on the Blue Ridge...

    F4 Customs Windshield Discussions

    I've had a short email exchange with Don Frank of F4 Customs. Below is an extract: ME: "The rumors are out that you're developing windshields for the Spyder F3. Any truth to that? Any chance you'll have something ready "soon?" Just saw that you’re going to be at Spyderfest. I know it’s a...

    How NOT to detail a Spyder!

    For those of you who haven't noticed the fine print in the picture in my posts, SLAGIATT stands for "Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time." I adopted that years ago when I told my kids that it would be the title of my autobiography. Now, this phrase normally refers to things I DELIBERATELY do...

    First Ride Report

    Nice day...got the Spyder out for its first ride (started with .9 miles on the Spyder). 1. Blue Ridge Windshield: Does a great job of preventing the wind from knocking you around, but doesn't keep wind from your face (I'm 5'10"). I rode the first few miles with my flip-down, snap-on face...

    F3 Left Panel USB

    Sorry these are sideways...can't seem to figure out how to get them rotated. :dontknow: This started on another thread but I thought I'd start a new one so it doesn't get lost. The USB connector is the one Can-Am sells. As you can see, they installed it right into the left panel. I figured...

    Removing Passenger Grab Bars

    Obviously, this is a non-mechanic posting this. Can you remove the F3 passenger grab bars by just removing those visible screws? And, if so, is there anything else that might mysteriously pop out or fall to the ground when you do? (I do so hate surprises.) The reason I'm asking is that I...

    F3S is Here!

    Still has only 1 mile on it...it's being delivered by the dealer to my house this afternoon (23 degrees outside...but next week will be in the 50's, if you can believe that for Indianapolis!). Has Blue Ridge (otherwise known as "tiny") windshield, heated grips, 'pigtail' for battery tender...

    Well...it was supposed to be here...

    My February-delivered F3 must be lost somewhere...didn't show...haven't heard from the dealer since last Thursday when they said BRP's computer still had February for the delivery date. As if! They also said that there was no way to contact BRP to get a shipping update...that they were just...
