• 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.

    Spyder will not leave Neutral for reverse or forward - any ideas?

    So, after a 6 month gap in usage, my 2016 F3T will not engage in either Reverse or Forward gears, just nothing. Is there a fuse perhaps at fault? Or, what to try? Thanks much! (Thanks to you guys, I did just install a NOCO battery and that thing rocks!!)

    Any tips on connecting OEM & tender leads to NLP20 NOCO Battery Posts?

    So, I've just purchased the NOCO NLP20 battery, charger, and connection wires (pictured in the attached.) This follows the many positive comments on this board. I have no idea how to use the battery 'posts'. Note that the wire connectors are too large to be attached to the battery with the...

    This morning I headed out for a little ride. Everything was great for five or 10 minutes and then the engine started running very rough. I was only able to get the spider back home by keeping the RPMs high. Now this is not a lot of information but, what would you GUESS? It is a real bear to...

    I have a 2016 F3L with a significant electrical problem. I have an appointment with a dealer in a couple of weeks. I understand that there is (?) a way to manually release the parking brake?? That would be a good thing as I have zero electrical power...and, it is not the battery. Would you...

    Any idea on how to proceed with this Electrical Problem?

    I have a 2016 F3L with a good battery. This morning I attempted to start my machine and after the dash lit up for about 1 second. Then everything went dark. Maybe 20 seconds later, the fender lights blinked on and off with some sort of pattern. I grabbed the manual and a light to inspect the...

    Superb customer service from F4 !

    I bought a windshield from F4 almost 5 years ago. Perhaps 5 months ago the salt air here in Florida (probably) caused some of the powder coating to peel off with an ensuing rust issue. I called F4 and they sent the two replacement brackets NO CHARGE (and no trans either). Impressive (way)...

    Transmission shift noise (excessive)

    OK, I should know this, but... Apparently, there is no separate transmission oil? So, I notice that the noise of my shifts, especially the first ones of a ride, are excessively noisy. The first one into reverse is an 'attention-getter'! After that, less but still noisy. Thanks for your...

    Need some electrical help, please! (2016 F3L)

    First, I am a complete electrical noob, that's important information! I have a pair of driving lights (fender mount) that worked just great for 3 years or so, connected to a rheostat on the side cover. A minor irritation was that I wired it such that the lights did not switch off with the...

    Re-Install the "bra" component. 2016 F3L

    I am really hoping there is a "Trick" to reinstalling this component. I finally get it done but it's just a PITA. The component I have labeled as the "bra" is the plastic component below the windshield and above the trunk lid. That's the component necessary to remove in order to remove the...

    I ordered and have the necessary parts, according to the dealer. I've 'been told' that I need to remove the instrument cluster (and I don't know what else) to gain access to the proper area. I've never removed the instrument cluster. Is there anything special to watch out for, gotchas, or...

    Storage (glove?) box closure failure

    I have a 2016 F3L. The storage box, I don't know the proper name so glove box) below the windshield and above the instrument cluster will not stay closed any longer. It appears that the female closure has failed. In fact, with a flashlight and probe, I cannot find any evidence of it at all. I...

    Proper chock on trailer - what's the best strategy to stop wheels turning?

    On my last trip the bike’s front tires began to turn almost causing some fender damage. So, my technique must be off with either the chocks ot the straps. What is the better strategy? Thanks!

    Battery electrical leak

    Well, I 'think' I have one. How would I check this with a volt meter? I guess the battery could be shot but, it is kept on a battery tender full time so, that 'should not' be the issue. Thanks!

    Electrical issue w/ New LaMonster Bright Ryder

    These lights have to be defective but, this is weird. First, I tested the unit across the battery terminals and no problem. I had a light there before (sorta yellow or warmer and I didn't like it) so, I peeled it off and used the same wiring (checked with a volt meter). No light...what? Back to...
