• 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.

    Fed up with Can-Am service!

    It is March 26, 2023. My 2015 Spyder F3 has been in the shop since February 4, 2023. It went in the shop because the belt went bad. The belt went bad because it was never aligned and tightened properly when the rear tire was replaced in 2019. Since then, the bike was rattling for 3 years...

    Low speed rubbing noise

    I have a 2015 F3 SE6. At slow speeds I hear a rubbing noise. It rubs and stops, rubs and stops and continues until I stop. I checked my tire pressure all is ok. I suspected my belt tensioner (idler pulley). Took that off and the problem is still there. The belt looks ok and I don't see any...

    Brake pads

    Has anyone changed out their own brake pads? I have just over 13000 miles on my 2015 F3. I looked at the front pads and I am not sure if they need changing, but they look close. I think I am going to tackle the job myself. Any comments would be appreciated.

    My stock rear tire at 10300 miles

    This is what my stock rear Kenda tire looks like at 10300 miles. I've had my 2015 F3 since July 2016. You can see the tire worn down to the wear bars in the middle. The sides are still good. I think the tire has some more life in it, but I'm not sure about how much.

    Trade Up.......Nah, I don't think so!

    I recently got a trade up notice from BRP offering me to trade up my 2015 F3. I don't think so. Not after putting on the 2up shock and the Idler pulley kit. I'll tell you what, if you have an F3 and didn't put on the 2 up shock and the idler pulley kit yet, do so. I just installed the idler...

    Blinkers on front fender of 2015 F3?

    Does anyone have any experience installing blinking lights on the front fender of a 2015 F3 that can be seen from the rear? Since there are no blinkers on the front fender of this model, I suspect another wire has to be run and connected somewhere.

    Twitchiness

    I've read comments on this site about some Spyders exhibiting "twitchiness." I didn't know what that was and being the new owner of a 2015 F3 I decided to find out. First google: www.thefreedictionary.com/twitchiness1. Characterized by jerky or spasmodic motion. Then the Random House Websters...
