• 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.

    Enjoying a ride today and when I pulled off from a light the bike refused to upshift from 1st to 2nd. It's completely stuck and won't downshift from 1st to Neutral. No error code showing.

    Are there any Mirror stiffeners for an F3-S?

    The mirrors on my 2015 F3-S are starting to vibrate, particularly the left one. I see a couple of mirror-locking options for the RT’s, F3-T's, and L’s but haven’t found any for the barebones F3's or F3-S's. The mirrors on the F3-S look very different from the other models, so it seems unlikely...

    I had a run in with BRP’s infamous Loctite x2

    I have seen a couple of posts about fasteners with BRP’s Loctite being really tough to deal with but had not had any experiences of my own till today when I was attempting to install floorboards on my F3 S. Removing the rubber foot peg inserts requires removal of 2 12mm bolts on each side...

    Is Blue Ridge or Route 129 w/screen h/ware available separately?

    Does anyone know if the hardware is available without buying the windscreen. I want to use an aftermarket screen on my F3S and would like to avoid paying for a windshield I never intend to use. An online search didn’t get any results and I gave up after more than 20 minutes on hold for the...

    Anyone else a loner and not a group rider?

    I have attended a few motorcycle events and rallies and participated in some group rides over the years but very much prefer to do my riding solo. The big advantage for me is to be free to choose my route, my riding style, when and where to stop etc without having to account for the wishes and...

    Please, I need advice re Putting a Spyder on ramps?

    I am planning to install some KOTT grills on my RTL and the prospect of lying prone to do the works is not very appealing to this 73 year old body. If I am down there for to long we may need a fork lift to get me upright again......:) I would like to purchase some ramps to get the bike 9...

    I did a search but couldn't find any posts on this..... I had a first service done on my 2021 RTL today ($340 - not as painful as I expected) and the Service writer informed me there was a outstanding Service Bulletin that dealt with a "difficult to start problem" that is apparently occurring...

    Are those Training wheels………?

    I was cleaning the F3 on the driveway when a neighbor and her son walked by. I figure the young man is about 7 years old. “What’s that Mom” he asked pointing to the Spyder. “It’s a motorcycle” his mother replied. He thinks for a moment and then points to the front wheels “ Are those training...

    My Spyder wish list - what's yours?

    I have not been riding Spyders long but now have a 21 RTL an a 15 F3 S (in different locations) and have put a combined 10 thousand kms on them. It's not a lot of experience but enough time for me to form a "wish list" of things that I would like to see changed or added to the next crop of...

    2015 F3 S - Anything sinister I should know about?

    Advancing years (73) and a concern that I was loosing confidence riding big two wheelers caused me to sell my Gold Wing and buy a 2014 BMW C650 maxi scooter as an urban run about. I bought a 2021 RTL for the winters in California but still have a desire to do more touring in Western Canada in...

    Finally got a new Spyder

    I have posted earlier that I am an old relic making the gradual move from 2 to 3 wheels. The first transition was to replace the HD Street Glide that I have in Palm Desert CA (our winter hangout) with a Spyder. I test rode a couple up here and decided that a RT Limited suited me best as I like...

    What 2020+ RT Limited seat options are there?

    I am pretty close to doing a deal to get my first Spyder which will be a 2020 RT Limited. I have not had much success with the stock seats on all the 2 wheeled bikes I have owned. This has become more of an issue with age and I find I need to upgrade the stock seat and get a backrest to enjoy...

    I am a 72 year old relic who is in the process of going from 2 wheels to 3 due to some health issues. My first venture is to replace the HD Street Glide that I use in Southern California during the winters. If my transition down there is successful I will replace my Gold Wing up here in...
