• 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.

    Were You in the Group of Spyders on US-20 in Central Massachusetts June 11th?

    Was waiting to cross US-20 in Charlton today and saw a group (8-10?) of Spyders motoring east on 20. We all waved/honked at each other. If you were part of it, I'd be interested to know more about your group. Looked like you were having a good time riding together.

    Snapped the magnetic oil drain plug!

    2019 F3T, 1330 engine. And it was going so well........ Had all the oil drained and safely off to the side. Not too much of a mess. Put on the new gaskets and o-rings. Installed the new oil filter and then went to re-install the 6 mm drain plug. Over-torqued it and snapped the head...

    Handlebar Cable Clips screws - Torx size?

    I'm finishing up changing out the stock handlebars ('19 F3-L) to the "short reach". Everything went mostly well, except needing a heat gun to let me loosen one of the four M7 bolts. Those CanAm guys love their Loktite. The handlebar kit comes with the cable clips not already attached. So I...

    Brake Rod Position 3 to Position 4

    I've been unhappy with the brake pedal position ("3") since getting the bike 6 weeks ago. I figured that a Position "4" would be about right. While searching, I came across a Lamonster video on how to change the brake rod. And he explained how his product also lowered the angle of the brake...

    Stripped Body Panel Screw

    I have one of the four Left Side Panel screws apparently stripped. It's spinning freely with the Torx 25 driver but not coming away from the body. This is the second screw from the front (just behind the left fender). I don't want to start drilling it out or just having the dealer replace...

    Understeering in curves

    I'm three weeks into my 3-wheeled life after 10 years on 2 wheels. Yes, it is a transition as adverstised. I'm finding that the biggest challenge is that I appear to be understeering on curves at highway speed. I've had a couple of episodes of the sensation of the inside wheel lifting (which...

    Position 4 vs. Position 3 Brake Linkage

    Hi all, I've ridden about 300 miles on my new F3L and it feels like I'd be more comfortable if the brake pedal was a couple of more inches forward. I'm 5'11 with a 31" in-seam. From what I've read, the stock brake linkage is a "3". It looks like I can get the Pos 4 on the CanAm site for $30...

    OOPS! We forgot to connect the FM antenna!

    I've had my new (as in 3 miles on the odom leaving the dealer) 2019 F3-L for 5 whole days. There's always little nagging things to get used to with any new ride. But the most troubling issue from the get go was the awful FM reception. Much worse than an old Radio Shack pocket transistor...

    Rever and AccuWeather on BRP Connect

    Just starting to learn/play with BRP Connect on the F3-L. I got the apps loaded and the iPhone talking to the bike via USB. I started AccuWeather and saw only MinuteCast and a couple of other forecast choices. No radar map, which is what I would only need to see on the infotainment...

    Now an Official Member

    Just picked up my new :spyder2: today. Wow, that first ride after years on 2 wheels was quite the experience. I guess I'm a full member now and look forward to picking your brains with all kinds of newbie questions! So, thanks in advance.

    About to Pull the Trigger.......

    Hi everyone, New to this forum as a prospective buyer. I've seen the question I'm about to post here, on other MC forums that I've belonged to over the years. After you've seen the question a hundred times you roll your eyes a bit, but please bear with me. I'm looking at a low mileage 2018...

    Battery Tender Cable Installation

    Hi folks. New to this group and about to purchase a '19 F3 Limited. The first thing I do with all my motorcycles is to install the SAE cable for a Battery Tender. One of my bike models gets so upset when the battery gets disconnected that it has to go back to a dealer to have them reset the...
