• 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.

    Anyone tried an AGM battery alternative? Any info?

    Good morning everyone! After 4 years the factory battery in my 2018 F3S has faded into the sunset. Yes, I’ve load tested it and it’s finished. After many years as a Chevrolet dealership tech I’m not 100% convinced I want to go back with an AGM. Had many die in Corvettes sooner than they should...

    Any tips on Right switch switch assy replacement?

    Good morning all, I’m getting ready to replace the right side switch assembly on my 2018 F3S (the one with the red kill switch in it) and am looking for some tips. Does it split and go around the bar? Does the throttle come off and the switch slide off? If so how? As always, thanks in advance...

    Can’t see the mirrors…

    Hey all, Been having this problem since purchasing my 2018 F3S. Due to the way my body is configured (5’08” with a very short torso) I just can’t see the mirrors. The way it works out the switch assemblies on the bars are directly in my line of sight and completely block the mirrors. Anyone had...

    Getting ready to attempt belt alignment

    Hi all... Some of you may remember me posting in the “Kanine beta test” thread a couple of weeks ago... Got my rear installed and so far so good on the tire but noticed my F3s (2018) felt just a bit “off” since. Checked yesterday and, sure enough, the belt has a much larger gap between the inner...

    Problem with feral cats

    Good afternoon all, Hoping for some wisdom from the group. We live WAY out in the country and sadly, our Spyders sit somewhat outside. They live under a very nice prefab metal carport that is closed on the back end and covered with hardware cloth on both sides. Only open in the front for easy...

    Mirrors and turn signals relocation

    Good afternoon all, Was looking for some information or links to kits that would allow for the relocation of the mirrors on my 2018 F3S to a more conventional location on top of the bars and allow a turn signal to be installed in place of the original mirrors. Anyone been down this road? I see...

    Keeping it clean on a dirt road

    Hi everyone, Looking for some input on how everyone keeps their Spyders clean when riding on dirt roads. We've got a mile of dirt between the house and the pavement and just one trip and the machines are covered! There's got to be a better way than washing them every other day.... I can't be the...

    Belt alignment

    Hey all, Looking for some information on belt alignment for my 2018 F3S. The dealer has attempted and failed, after replacing my rear tire it’s moved all the way to the left on the rear sprocket. I’m familiar with the axle locking nuts but for the life of me can’t seem to find the actual...

    Good morning all. Was riding to work this morning on my 2018 F3S and had the check engine light pop on with a code P2530. Any ideas on what I’m facing when I head to the dealer? It’s under warranty but I’d like to know what I’m in for..... Thanks in advance.

    Spyders moving outside for a bit, looking for covers

    Hi everyone, So we are moving to a new place in a little less than a month. Once we a re settled we will be looking into putting up a building to store our two F3S's in (his and hers).

    Question about accuracy of shop manuals

    Hi folks, Wondering whether it would be worth investing in a service manual for my F3S (2018) and, if so, where to get it. A little background of my current issue.... I've got about 4,200 miles on the bike now and yes, it is under warranty. I've developed the beginning of a brake vibration at...

    Color change...

    Hey everyone. So, was thinking about the color changing Ryker and I'm wondering about my F3S. I've got a 2018 black (matt/gloss) and it just worked out that I ended up with that color--long story. I'd LOVE to have a blue one! I wonder if anyone out there has compiled a list of the body panels...

    Programming new key...

    Hi folks, Not sure if the mods will want to move this to the F3 forum or if all the new model Spyder keys are the same? We had the wife's new 2018 F3S delivered from iMotorsports yesterday and she LOVES it! I'll update that thread when a couple of delivery issues are resolved. A big concern is...

    Possible purchase of 2015 F3S

    Hey folks, Found a sweet deal on a 2015 F3S with only 2,400 miles on it and am thinking of pulling the trigger on this one for the wife. We've got a 2018 F3S right now and I'm just curious what the differences might be. Is the 2015 the same as the 2018 as long as they're both the F3S? Would they...

    Hi all, Looking for some advice on storing a second Spyder. Right now we've got both vehicles and our current F3 in the garage but there isn't room for the second F3 we are planning on getting (nice problem to have right?).
