• 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.

    Battery access

    My 19 F3L has a dead battery. Is it accessed by pulling the frunk out? Do those plastic rivets just break off?

    Whale, hail!

    Ok, I went ahead and bought an Ultimate seat for my 19 F3L. It is better than stock, but... This weekend I took the F3 down to the dealer for annual maintenance and picked up the wife's 16 RT. Two up both ways. After about 100 mile round trip, about 50 on each one, my butt likes the stock seat...

    F3L Driver seat - any more comfortable options?

    Might have to see if I can find the one I bought for the 12. Have to be cut and new straps, but it's an idea. Gate guard at the post asked if I'd run over a grizzly bear...

    F3L Driver seat - any more comfortable options?

    OK, thanks for the responses. Had an Airhawk for my 2012 RT, and it helped, some. Eventually went to the Ultimate, and still used the Airhawk some. Unfortunately, I guess I left it in the trunk, when I sold it, sooo. I guess I'll get a new one and start the cycle over again.

    F3L Driver seat - any more comfortable options?

    Seems like this doesn't have much in the way of give. Don't want to lose the feeling of sitting down in the bike, but are there better/more comfortable seat replacements?

    Ultimate F3 Floorboards

    My legs do not like to be kept in one position too long. My old RT (2012) had the Seal floorboards and the ability to move around some really made a difference in riding. The only floorboards I can find that seem long enough to move your feet around looks like the Ultimate F3 Floorboards. I have...

    Why Did YOU Choose Ryker Over Spyder?

    Ok, I like the info on this post. I, too, am considering downsizing to a Ryker. Due to health issues and the fact that I can't get my wife to retire, I don't see much long trips in our future. I'll have to try one out at the dealer when the weather warms a bit, but I do have a more specific...

    Parking Brake won't Release

    Got it back, dealer said BRP told him to do a couple tests, and when they were done, told him to replace the brake motor.

    Parking Brake won't Release

    Just dropped my 16 RTS off at the dealer with the same issue.

    OK, my reading skills may have deteriorated, but

    Maybe my reading skills have deteriorated, went out today, parked where the sun was not on the screen, found the right paragraph in the manual, and got it done. Thanks.

    Is there a trick to setting the FM radio presets on a 19 F3L?

    Is Sena Bluetooth? Do I need a phone with Bluetooth to operate this kind of communicator?

    Hope this isn't out of range of discussion

    Just got my wife through the three wheel rider training that Can Am has been subsidizing. Unsurprisingly, it looks like we will be becoming a 2 Spyder family. Joyce has suggested that it might be a good idea to get helmets with some type of communication device. Neither of us are real tech...

    Anyone checked?

    Haven't been here for a while, but just got to wondering, which can be dangerous. I am somewhat broad and deep and was just wondering, (there's that word again), has anyone ever checked the mileage on a 3 cylinder RT to see if there is a difference between stock windshield all the way up vs all...

    After 5 years

    Riding my 2012 RT-S SE5, I decided to modernize a bit and bought a 2016 RT-S SE6. I loved my 2012, but with every ride, I like this one better!

    2016 RT Owners manual

    Has a section describing a 600 mile break in period. Then it says, "After the break-in period, your vehicle should be inspected as per the MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE subsection." The first maintenance in the schedule is at 3000 miles. Should it be inspected at 600 miles, or wait until you get to 3000?
