• 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.

    Thinking of Switching to a Ryker

    After almost 5 years of ryding in discomfort on my F3-T, I'm considering switching to a Ryker. I've been uncomfortable on my F3-T because I have low back issues and tight hips and the geometry of the F3-T is just too wide a sitting stance for me. I've tried all sorts of things like different...

    Has Anyone Switched to a Ryker From a Spyder F3?

    I have a 2016 F3T which has never been comfortable for in spite of trying different seats, etc. My problem is that I have arthritic hips and low back and the F3T's wide sitting position (due to width of the engine and fuel tank) causes my legs/feet to spread out to the point that the sitting...

    Is it illegal to ride with a Windshield Crack in NY..... ??

    I just discovered a crack in my F3's 2 year old F4 windshield. It was installed at 2019 Americade by F4 themselves. The crack is coming from a bolt, so I'm guessing that the bolt was torqued too tight. So, I have a few questions: 1. Is it illegal to ride a motorcycle or Spyder with a crack...

    Is Next Service Still Necessary?

    Because of an injured back, I only put about 1000-1500 miles on my 2016 F3 in 2020, after getting the F3 serviced (oil change, etc) at the start of the season. Although the back still hurts, I hope to ryde some this year. Now, I have to get the state inspection done at the dealer anyway - so...

    Hard to Lock Gas Cap - what works for you?

    It's been quite awhile since this happened to me, but today I had a HELL of a time closing/locking the gas cap on my 2016 F3T. I know that it can be improved by quite a bit thru the application of some sort of grease/lube, but I don't remember what I used last time. So what works for you...

    Suggest Some Mods/Add-Ons to Maximize Ride Smoothness on F3-T?

    In another thread, I described my back problems (spondylolisthesis) which have recently prevented me from ryding. I'm thinking ahead to when I can ryde again (hopefully sooner than later), and will want to remain pain-free at that point. That means maximizing an upright seated position on my...

    Anyone Ryde with Spondylolisthesis?

    Simply stated, Spondylolisthesis is when a vertebrae in the back has slid forward a bit so it no longer sits perfectly over the vertebrae below it. It can be painless or it can flare-up into a quite painful condition. In my case, at least some pain is always there so usually I just put up with...

    Finally got a beautiful spring-like day in my area so I decided to go for my first ryde of the year on my 2016 F3T. It's been on a battery trickle charger all winter, so the Tupperware between the windshield and frunk had been removed to accommodate the battery charger cable. I don't know if...

    Why Did YOU Choose Ryker Over Spyder?

    I've owned a Spyder F3-T for about 3 years, and still don't feel totally comfortable on it after more than 15,000 miles. I've swapped seats, etc. but I still get painful cramps in my hips on occasion after 45 minutes to an hour of riding. I think that the sitting position of the F3 simply...
