• 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.

    Is there a Rear Brake Rewind Tool Set that includes Spyder's Brembo caliper?

    This maybe should be in shop talk, but applies to both F3's and late model RT's. I realize Baja Ron has a rewind fitting that fits the face of the Brembo rear piston, but I'd like to find a rewind tool set like https://tinyurl.com/y747m5cy that covers multiple vehicles. We have a Mini Cooper...

    What is compromised by leaving Sprocket O-ring out?

    Just replaced the rear tire on my F3S and noticed the infamous (sometimes missing) sprocket O-ring was pinched and distorted. Whatever sealing function it originally provided was severely compromised. I called for the part at the local dealer, but the wait was over a week. I decided to leave it...

    For newbies.. How to find the frame stamped VIN on your "new" 1330cc Spyder

    So you just bought your new (to you) dream Spyder and need to title it in California, or another state that requires verification of both the VIN number stamped into the frame AND the swing arm VIN label, or possibly just the frame VIN to be verified, along with the engine ID. I was finally...

    Hub hole size on rear wheels?

    I've just taken the front wheels from my "new" 2015 F3S in for a tire change to Yokohama 175/55s, and balance. In looking online for Ride On, as a supplement, I've come across portable bubble balancers on Amazon, that all accept a hub hole size down to 1.5". I'm wondering if the smaller rear...

    Help! Frame stamped VIN, where is it??

    There has been some discussion of where the frame stamped VIN is located in the RT forum, but I can find nothing here in F3-land. I have a “new” 2015 F3S, so maybe the location is the same as the later RTs, on the inside of the right frame rail, just behind the front wheel. If anyone else has...

    About to purchase, also need advice

    Like Panda, my confident days with a 2 wheeled tourer are becoming uncomfortable. I'm about to spring for one of the F3s, but am not sure which will fit my needs best. I'm coming from a Suzi 650 VStrom to a recent Honda NT700VA Deauville and now to the Spyder. The supply of any F3 models in San...
