• 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.

    Parking Brake only releases maybe 50% of the time?

    I have looked and can't find a post with this exact issue. 2015 F3-SM6..... Parking brake will set 99% of the time, releases on first try maybe 50% of the time, flick the switch back and forth, and for now will eventually release. Also dash initiator light for said brake does not come on at...

    Rear Rack with BRP Backrest

    A while back I was looking for a rear rack that worked with the BRP passenger backrest. I contacted Maurice at MLB innovations and he said he was not sure if it did, so he sent me one. Well long story short, it did not, I worked with him with some thoughts, he took those and made one that does...

    Long rides

    I have a ride scheduled for this coming Friday 556 miles door to door. I have done some 450+ rides before on my 2009 and one at 505 but that was a ride day that we all switched bikes and had many stops. This trip is just to get somewhere for 3 days then ride back home. I do know my F3 the seat...

    Shout out to some site sponsors

    Just want to give a quick shout out to BajaRon and Tric Led both really great site sponsors. 1st I had a rear LED side marker go out about 3 months after purchase, without hesitation Tric Led sent out a replacement LED and also just the resistor so I would not have to do too much if it was just...

    Test Ryde

    Lower 60's tomorrow boys and girls, don't know about you but I'm shooting for 100 miles before the day is done! Not too bad my last ride was a few days after Christmas.

    Bulbs

    Sorry to be a repeat but I have seen conflicting bulb numbers, I would take them out but it's a PITA. The standard and fog lights are H7 and H3 correct?

    Adding Floorboards

    Does anyone know if you have your foot pegs, shifter and brake in the #4 position, can you add the floorboards behind them? Or do you have to remove the pegs and replace with the boards?

    Bajaron Sway Bar

    Added a Bajaron sway bar and end links last night. WOW what a difference, I was able to take the tight turns on my way work this morning at least 20 MPH faster with no issue. I still can not figure out why BRP just don't make them like this out of the box. Once I add my Elkas this thing will be...

    Shout out to Elka

    Sometimes you don't fully appreciate something until it's gone. I added Elka stage 1 shocks to my 2009 RS in 2011 with about 7000 miles on it. The day I installed them I was shocked at how great the bike rode. I just traded the bike in with 35,000 miles on it a week ago, and removed my shocks...

    Tank protector

    So I noticed the other day in the sun, my jacket seems to be starting to scratch the black tank right where it meets the seat front. BRP does not carry a protector sticker for that area on the F3, nor will they next year. Anyone have any other source for a clear plastic sticker type protector I...

    Best wind protection

    Looking for opinions on the largest warmest windshield. I ride all winter as long as there is no snow on the ground. On my 2009 RS I used the stock one or none in the summer and BRP's monster one (largest one) with the side wind flares in the winter. I will most likely do the same with my new...

    F3 died out

    So got my new bike this past Sat. Yesterday it died while making a right turn off a 45mph zone. Thought maybe I hit the kill switch and brushed it off. Well it happened again today same senero I am sure I did not hit the kill switch. No codes and it starts right back up. I emailed the dealer...

    Trigger Pulled

    So after months of back and forth I finally pulled the trigger on a 2015 F3-S SM6. Being put together today. I test rode one back in July and knew this day was coming, and when the 2016's yielded no new colors, it sealed my fate. Trading my 2009, RS with 998 hours and 35,000 miles on it. It's...

    SmoothSpyder Backrest

    Anyone have any feedback on the Smoothspyder adjustable backrest? I was thinking of getting the large passenger backrest and the driver one from BRP, but this one would be much less expensive. I would never use them both at the same time anyway as when the wife rides with me she is my backrest...

    Ticking sound

    I have a 2009 RS with 29,000 miles on it. Rode yesterday without a helmet for a quick run to the store. I noticed a ticking type sound coming form the front. At first I thought left front wheel bearing, but after further review it seems to be coming from the left side like right behind the oil...

    Originating new ISO grips

    I just got my new Kuryakyn black ISO grips in the mail. I was wondering which way most of you guys orientated them? With the rubber up and down or forward and backward? It feels better than stock both ways. Right now I am leaning towards forward and backward, but was curious as to what my fellow...

    Oil Leak

    So I noticed some decent oil puddles under the Spyder the past 2 days (insert Harley joke here). Anyway I took off the two top panels this morning for a quick peek. I see noting on the top of the motor. I have the intake installed so no air box issue. (There is a tube directing overflow to...

    Growling rear brake noise

    I replaced my parking brake cable and adjusted the frame arm so that the cable adjustment nuts are in the middle of the thread. About 100 miles after I did that repair I notice I get a real bad brake growl when I come to a complete stop. It mostly happens right before I come to a dead stop and...

    Rear Seat Bag

    I purchased the rear seat bag from BRP this weekend. So far I love it, made well, fits in trunk perfectly and was on sale for 105 (not too far off the cost of a decent aftermarket one that would not fit as well as this one). I do have one question though, it has a pad on the inside bottom. It is...

    Stock Rear Tire

    After much thought about a new rear tire I decided to go with the stock Kenda. My next question, is the dealer the only place to get one or can a better deal be had somewhere else? I tried to find one online but my stock tire does not have a "model" name on it. The only ones that pop up are...
