• 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.

    Apology

    I've been warned by the "powers to be" that I have bypassed the Spyderlovers Forum Filters for language. This particular word was used in my latest thread "reduced power". That word in Australia is not classified as a swear word, and especially when used in my particular context, but it is...

    Reduced power after service - any ideas?

    Yesterday I had the dealer perform the annual service on my 2107 F3-S. I change the oil/filter & check everything else is ok the day before taking it to the dealer. I get them to verify [for a small fee] what I've done to keep my warranty. I also asked them to center the steering via buds. I...

    Oil filter

    The HifloFiltro HF556 oil filter thats fits a John Deere buck 650 auto, should fit a Can-am spyder with the 1300cc engine... right? That part number tells the whole story regardless of what engine it will fit, or am I missing something due to age?

    under AUD$100.00 exhaust

    Being fairly noise conscious, I removed the cat eliminator pipe which was coupled to the standard muffler [F3-S] after a couple of early morning rides as I didn't want to upset the neighbours, even though there is some distance between us [rural]. Unhappy with the OEM set up noisewise, I decided...

    Frightening

    Wife [pillion] & myself went on our first club ride last saturday on our 2017 RT. After some debate the usual leader didn't want to, so I elected to lead. Quite a slow bunch of riders [although heaps of corners ]& we were slowing to snail pace a lot waiting for them to catch up. Most of the...

    another tire question

    Does anyone know if the Bridgestone Potenza 175/55R 15 will fit the 2017 F3-S without any serious mods. Shortening bolts & the like is ok. Finding performance tires to fit the F3-S in Australia is quite difficult as the range of 15'' tires is very limited. Thanks.

    runaway mirrors

    Last Thursday my wife [pillion] & myself were cruising along at the posted 100 kph speed limit. Always looking some distance up the road, I noticed a couple of staggered step ups in the bitumen. I could not slow down much as there were cars up my backside & I couldn't go around the stepups as...

    Tension/Alignment screws

    I want to lower the belt tension on my 2017 F3-S from 225lbs to around 180 lbs on the ground. Trouble is the right & left belt alignment/tension adjustment screws will only turn about 1/6 of a turn each. Don't want to force these screws for obvious reasons. Anyone had this problem & how did one...

    F3-S rear shock

    I'm in the process of purchasing a rear shock from the "Shock Factory" for my new 2017 F3-S. They don't have online ordering, only international bank transfers and I find this a little odd. They are based in France. Has anyone had any dealings with this company?
