• 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.

    FM radio interference with LED fog lights

    I recently installed a Boss FM radio on my 2015 F3s equipped with Lamonster LED fog lights. When I turn the fog lights on, the radio sound disappears completely, yet I can use my MP3 player thru the same FM amplifier without a problem. The Lamonster did send a pair of anti-flickering filters...

    Boss Audio Install FM static

    Installed the Boss audio in the F3s with FM. Without the engine running, sounds great, however with the engine running, nothing but static. The aux with the mp3 player (not blue tooth) sounds fine with precorded music but again, not with FM. I suspect it may be interference from the plugs...

    Stripped T-40 and T-45 oil drain plugs

    I was attempting to do the 1st oil change on my 2014 RT and ended up stripping both the T-40 and T-45 oil drain plugs. I don't know what they used to secure the plugs but now there is a nice round hole where the T's fittings were. The plugs would not loosen. Anybody have an idea as to how I...

    Trying to replace the feeble horn on the F3S

    I'm trying to replace the horn on my F3S with a more robust safety sounding horn. I have several horns on hand but cannot find the F3 horn location. The shop manual indicates it is located near the right front tire under a panel. I have been under the bike and there is no obvious panel. Has...

    How to change horn on the F3

    Has anybody changed the horn on the F3?? I looked at the shop manual and it appears that it is located near the right front under a panel - not so. BRP should be ashamed to install such a pathetic sounding device in an otherwise fine machine. Obviously they do not have the safety of the rider...

    Mechanical noise when first starting

    Upon starting my 2014 RT Limited, after storage for a couple of weeks in an unheated garage, it exhibits a loud mechanical sound for 3 - 5 seconds then disappears. If I start it daily, the sound is barely noticeable and only last for a fraction of a second. I do not think it's a fuel pump...

    1330 engine vibration at 1200rpm

    My 2014 RT exhibits an anyoing engine vibration coming off idle at around 1200 RPM. It is NOT belt related since it occurs when standing. It is especially annoying when starting out. At idle it is smooth, but going through 1100 - 1300rpm there is a slight vibration, then everything is smooth...

    Massive oil leak on new 2014 RT

    Just put 100 miles on my new 2014 RT and oil is everywhere: garage floor, right bag, muffler and completely covered underneath. I did not receive any error codes and my oil light did not appear, but only a 1/4 inch appears on the dipstick when hot. The bike is a mess!! The dealer claims they...

    Compressor cycling On 2012 RT Limited

    The compressor on my 2012 cycles for 3 seconds apx every 30 seconds when set at the highest setting. Since I never change the setting, my wife is always with me, I just leave it set to the highest so I really don't utilize the auto feature. Since there is no leak down, the pressure holds when...

    RT oil overfill

    My dealer overfilled my oil by apx 3/8 inch over the fill mark when measured hot. After a ride, a quantity of oil, apx 2 - 3 oz, appeared under the bike on the garage floor toward the rear wheel. The dealer has no idea as to where the oil came from in the bike. I will probably siphon enough...

    oil overfill

    My dealer overfilled my oil by apx 3/8 - 1/2 inch above the fill mark when hot. I noticed a puddle of oil appear under the bike after a ride. My question is where did the oil come from? The dealer was unable to determine the source of the oil overflow.

    Difficult to engage reverse on my 2012 RT

    Recently my 2012 RT, with 1,000 miles, is difficult to engage in reverse. Only after I press both the 'R" and the '-' switches extremely hard will the reverse engage. When the bike was new, I just seem to easily press both switches simultaneously and bingo 'Reverse'. Any ideas as to what...

    Oil change on 2012 Spyder RT Limited

    Please forgive me if I'm asking a redundant question but I'm just new to Spyderlovers as I'm sure this question has been discussed before. My dealer wants $180 to change both hydro and oil filters and 4 qts of BRP blended oil. I have 600 miles on my RT and would like to do the job myself. Are...
