• 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.

    F3 gremlins? Ugh

    The bike has gone to 2 different dealers already. There first were total nincompoops lol. The second seemed ok, except for these new problems that arose, after not that many miles in the shop. We'll see. In the mean time, I ride the trusty 2011 RSS (which is paid off) while still making...

    F3 gremlins? Ugh

    Oh my gosh, that would stink. Thankfully, my 2011 RSS is running wonderfully... so that's something. Yeah, good idea on the compression test. But UGH.

    F3 gremlins? Ugh

    Well, my 2015 F3-S SM6 is unridable AGAIN... with only 3500 miles on the odo, it once again runs like poo. Details: Starts right up, runs perfectly for a few seconds, then settles into a sputter/almost stalling at idle, with backfiring if the throttle is twisted. Jerks pretty hard if...

    Spyder is REALLY different - tried test ride, barely made it out of the dealer's lot

    If you think of it as riding a quad or a jetski, all those issues go away! :)

    Did anyone get an Email for BRP????

    I DO do Facebook... but only to keep in touch with out of state relatives or friends, not to keep an eye out for the latest BRP advertisement!

    Did someone on here buy this 2011 RS-S from Paulson's motorsports?

    Hi all, Paulson's had my old Spyder, Bugeyes, for sale for a long time. Just saw that it's no longer in their inventory. Would love to know who bought it. Have some stories to tell the new owner about it... Let me know if you or someone you know bought this little guy (this was around Lacey...

    Extended warranty opinions please...

    That's what I was thinking but I've inquired with 3 different Seattle area dealers and all 3 tried to steer me toward the aftermarket warranty. I found it kind of fishy. Anyway, I think I will go with BEST despite what they say.

    Extended warranty opinions please...

    Hi all, My lovely F3S is about to run out of factory warranty in just over a month. I most definitely want to get extended warranty, considering it's a first model year bike which has already had issues and I'd love to avoid out of pocket repair expenses as long as possible. When I ask the...

    Clutch pull on 2014 RS

    When I looked for an RSS, all I could find were SE5 and I really wanted an SM5. Finally found one. SE5 should be easy to find, although it sounds like you may have found one!

    Snow tires on a Spyder? Why not?

    You guys have made some good points... I didn't want to elaborate too much but in the back of my mind I have thoughts of building a dedicated "adventure" Spyder that can go out and play where I wouldn't take the shiny new F3S... I actually bought my white RS-S with that in mind but then...

    Snow tires on a Spyder? Why not?

    Hi folks, Posted a similar question on facebook but thought I might get more constructive replies here. People have asked if Spyders can be ridden in the snow and the general response seems that the tires don't have enough traction. But since our tires are basically automotive sizes, what's...

    NEW F3S Problem

    I hate to be skeptical, but I would guess a novice technician accidentally erased the codes before reading them and now there are no codes... unless of course the Spyder's diagnostic system malfunctioned somehow and didn't store the codes. Mine had an issue running like poo in the middle of a...

    Handicapped Spyder Ryders.....Roll call!

    I am very thankful that I loved Spyders before I got injured. My local motorcycle group teases me about the Spyder not being a motorcycle, but hey, it enables me to ride when otherwise I no longer could! I injured my left hip 2.5 years ago due to malfunctioning equipment at work. Despite a...

    2009 vs 2014

    That's a beautiful Spyder! Ride, it's way more fun than trailering! :D

    First service sticker shock!

    Mike, I COMPLETELY agree. I have been working on cars since I was 13 (with my dad at first, then on my own) and successfully rebuilt a seized Honda CB350 engine completely by myself (with help from a Clymer manual) at the age of 15. I love wrenching on stuff and I would rather do it all myself...

    First service sticker shock!

    I did originally make an appointment for a day where I could wait for it. But a family emergency prevented me from doing so; I dropped it off and was given another day that it would be done by (less than 2 weeks out at that point). Apparently in the mean time a technician left and they just...

    GMOs or No

    Scientifically-speaking, I am fascinated with genetic engineering and modification. Food-wise, however, I only want to eat what God (or nature, for those who don't believe in God) has made. Not what man has distorted.

    First service sticker shock!

    I've read about first service here and there costing $150-200ish. Then 3000 miles rolled in and I called local dealers around... $350-400ish!!! I wondered if they were quoting the V-twin price (needing valve adjustment and other extras) but they said no, this is for the F3. Isn't it an oil...

    GS vs F3

    Same here, going over bumps on the F3 I end up absorbing the impact with my spine (NOT GOOD). The RS-S allowed me to use my legs as extra suspension and my back was ok. I imagine the ST would allow the same.
