• 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.

    Finally got my Spyder!

    As many of you know, I sold my Ryker Rally about 2 years ago with the intention of buying a Spyder for more comfort and with a desire to tour when I can. But then life, life'd and I had to put a hold on things. I have been continuing to look and recently found a 2016 F3-T SM6 for sale nearby and...

    Any insights into this VIN check Message?

    Every once in a while when I check the VIN of a spyder for sale on the Can Am site I get this message: "The VIN submitted may be a valid VIN but for a three-wheel vehicle sold outside the United States or for a different BRP product-line. In those cases, we invite you to contact your dealer or...

    Buying used - 2015 Spyder F3-S - is this milage/usage a concern?

    I have found a 2015 Spyder F3-S SM6 for sale for a very reasonable price. It looks very clean, but it has 40k miles on it. I am a little but not overly concerned with the amount of miles it has. The owner says he has had it for 6 years and has only put on 5k miles in his time of ownership which...

    F3 Base conversion to 2-up - can I buy just passenger footpegs?

    I found a fairly good deal on a base f3 but it only has the mono seat cowl. I was looking on the can am site and only saw a "Two up conversion kit" that has a passenger seat and foot pegs. But I have seen this on other bikes and it doesn't match the look of the stock seat. So if I was going to...

    Does the VSS Fault msg come up only at Start Up or when there's a problem?

    There is a local marketplace ad for a decent looking Spyder. In his pics is a pic of the display and it says VSS Fault. My question is, does that message come up at any other time such as start up or does it only come up when there is an actual problem? Thanks

    After advice on used Spyders - F3-S vs F3-T

    I sold my Ryker a few months ago with hopes to upgrade to a Spyder. I have a couple options in front of me, an F3-S and an F3-T, both from 2016. The F3-S is an SE6 Triple Black, the F3-T is an SM6 and red. I much prefer the black color and honesty really kinda hate the red/silver color. I also...

    Do Older F3's have any reliability issues?

    I’m shopping for an F3 and budget wise most of the F3's I am looking at put me in the '15 or '16 model years. Do those first year F3's have any reliability issues compared to newer models? Something that scares me a bit is all the electronics that are in the Spyders and I'm worried that age will...

    Which is slower, F3-S vs F3-T?

    I currently have a 2019 Ryker Rally and while i like it, it has some shortcomings. I would like to upgrade to a spyder for some more long distance riding and occasional two up rides. I am leaning towards the F3-T because it will be cheaper in the end and probably more comfortable. By the time i...

    F3-T air suspension - what's it do & how does it work?

    So in my never ending quest to find out info about the various spyder models to eventually upgrade to… it seems that one of the perks of the f3-t is the rear air shock. I tried to find posts that explain exactly how it works and better yet videos on how it works and didnt find much. Is it really...

    Are Used prices incredibly high right now?

    I have been considering selling my ryker for a while and buying a F3s or F3T for longer rides and multi-day trips. Its not going to happen for a while at least until i get some stability in the job front BUT that doesnt stop me from looking around and dreaming. Lately it seems that used prices...

    Is there a Cruise Control available for older model Rykers?

    I know that there is Cruise control available on the 2022 models and it seems like it wont be available from Can Am for older models because it will require ECU re-mapping. But has anyone heard if this will be possible in the aftermarket? Because buying the cruise control from canam and paying...

Has anyone who isn’t selling these kits actually done the mod and why did you do it. I have owned my 19 ryker rally for 2 years and...

    I looked around and did a google search but I couldnt find what i was looking for. Is there a resource for changes in the F3 over the years.

    Currently I have a Ryker and I like everything about it except the transmission. I really like to shift gears. I was looking at the new spyder lineup and unless I am missing something, none seem to have a manual transmission option. Can anyone tell me what the last year and trim levels I could...
