• 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.

    Turbo and Jumping.....LOL

    Sat on one today at Maggie Valley. Not as fugly in person. Single lugnut hubs are cool as is the rear wheel and shaft drive. Now for some humor.... The BRP rep actually said..... there would be Ryker racing leagues next year and that ‘the kids will be taking these off jumps’. :roflblack...

    Maggie Valley..

    Good times happening at Maggie Valley, especially since the weather got nice. Good to see some old peeps.... They did the Ryker reveal this morning. I have to say it looks better in person than in photos. The BRP rep said it was ‘great for offroad riding’ and that next year we will see...

    Maggie Valley???

    Anyone going to Maggy Valley next week for the event? I'll be there with Wacky Dan tearing up some twisties…. Maggie Valley was the original event where many of us met for the first time back in 2009 or 2010 along with the BBQ's at Lamont's place. Did that for a few years and then it changed...

    Belt Tensioner noise...

    Belt or Belt Tensioner noise...??? UPDATED! The vendor of the tensioner felt this post was a negative review of his product. That is not the case, nor was it meant to be!:chill: This was about a noise issue I am troubleshooting and what I felt the problem was. After removing the tensioner the...

    LIMP MODE = Near Death Experience...

    So just W.T.H. was BRP thinking with Limp Mode??? How is this a 'safety feature' ? Riding home from Valcourt I had it go into limp mode on I-90 in Cleveland... in 6 lanes of traffic.. all going 70.... during rush hour. To suddenly lose power and not be able to maneuver, change lanes, etc. was...

    Shake... Rattle.... and thankfully no roll.

    My 2015 F3 developed some serious shaking/wobbling while at Spyderfest. While we were out on a ride I noticed a 'shake' that was quite bothersome. I asked Wacky Dan if he felt like the road we were on was 'washboarded'. He said nope. We traded bikes and his was smooth. After riding mine he could...

    F3 belt tension

    What's the consensus on current F3 belt tension settings using a Krikit? I've seen 140 up to 220 mentioned. Reading should be done while jacked up. I'm thinking of going for 160. Any input?

    Corbin Smuggler problems...

    Well I received my Corbin seat with smuggler trunk and things just are not installing correctly. I've followed the instructions to the T and the trunk remains loose as all get out. Been in contact with Corbin and they're trying to figure it out, but there's an air of 'he installed it wrong' in...

    First oil change.

    Did my first oil change today on my F3. Easiest oil change on a Spyder I've ever done. Took me 40 minutes and I was taking my time. I did have the covers off already though, so getting at the oil filter was simple. No need to move the master brake stuff and a 36mm socket on a standard socked...

    F3 Clutch updated to vacuum assist.....

    Well, I did it this weekend... installed the F3 upgrade clutch 'kit' to get the vacuum assist. I have the installation instructions from BRP in a PDF format... going to doctor them up a little and then will share with anyone who wants them. It's a simple install, but also a pain in the ass...

    Clear protective wrap.....

    I'm literally running into brick walls :banghead: trying to find a vendor that will do a CLEAR protective wrap for a Spyder. I know others have had it done... using the 3M stuff, but no one seems to want to sell the stuff. I've spoken to the various wrap people out here...they don't do it or...

    Switched wiring?

    Seems all the aux wiring built in to the F3 only works when the engine is running. Anyone find a good area to tap into so you get power with just the key turned on? I noticed my front LED aux light only turns on with the engine running on my 2015 F3.... but on a 2017 the light comes on with...

    Maggie Valley home safe thread.

    Here's a thread for all to post they made it home safe. I did 650 miles through 6 states. Home safe and (reasonably) sound. Put 1,900 miles on my 12 day old new F3. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
