• 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.

    Clock not keeping time.

    Hey folks, Any idea why my 2015 F3S dash clock won't keep time? Any time I set it to the correct time, it goes forward over the course of a few days to be about 5-6mins fast ex. if the current time is 12:05 it will show as 12:11.

    "Neon" rope light.

    Just added a little aesthetic upgrade to my spyder, and thought you guys might like it. An LED "neon" rope light. I wired it to the customery accessory circuit that most people use for the signature light.

    2015 F3-S Advice

    One thing to look for is red dust on the front sprocket. Its a 1 minute check and requires about 3 or 4 screws to be removed so you can see the sprocket behind the shield. If red dust is present there's a good likelihood of the sprocket failing. Other than that, just the usual, oil changes up to...

    DynoJet PowerVision Help

    Have you tried updating the PV3 firmware via your computer and reloading the maps? If you hook up you PV3 to a computer the powercore software should show you what djt files and stk files are there.

    DynoJet PowerVision Help

    Fuel table off by 16% seems kind of crazy, is there any particular reason that Dynojet would leave it like that? I may have to do some logging too.

    F3-S Non Starter - can anyone in Pac NW turn off DESS?

    So I turn the key, the lights come on, screen comes on, messages says remember to read your safety card, I press Eco button, press starter, then nothing. Usually I will turn the key 2-3 times press eco, press starter, fires up.

    F3-S Non Starter - can anyone in Pac NW turn off DESS?

    Hey folks, This past week I have had a few instances where my 2015 F3-S didn't want to start, just dead. There were no error codes displayed, but I suspect I might be having the dreaded DESS issues that others here have had. Each time I've eventually gotten it started by taking the key out and...

    Heated grips installed, differently

    I bought the same grips a couple years ago and couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get the throttle side on. If I understand correctly, I have to cut the OEM rubber grip off the throttle, then sand down the tube itself and then try and glue the heated grip onto my now shaved down...

    Getting More Go Out of your Spyder

    I got a Dynojet Powervision and am very happy with the performance results. It also doubles as a code reader.

    Laser Alignment after rear shock upgrade?

    Will be upgrading my '15 F3-S stock rear shock with the Fox shock that BRP offers (but not at the price BRP offers it at, lol) I will be doing this swap myself. Yea or Nay, what say you?

    DynoJet PowerVision Help

    Basically the same thoughts as post #33, My throttle response is a lot crisper and no lag like it used to have. Pulls a lot harder through all the gears particularly at the top end. Not sure if the speed limiter has been changed but the redline was raised on the tach. I may have gotten it up to...

    F3 Model Considered Best Value

    Some good deals to be had on the secondary market, especially if you're willing to travel. I have a friend who picked up a 2015 F3-S with 12k mi, two windshields, fog lights, led lights, floor boards, driver backrest, passenger backrest, 2 up shock, belt tensioner and probably a few other things...

    DynoJet PowerVision Help

    Did they send you the right cable the first time? LOL. Glad you like it. I've put about 1000km on my machine with the new tune and I really like it still. No adverse effects, and it pulls a lot harder than stock in my opinion, I find myself going way too fast way easier then before.

    F3 BajaRon sway bar vs SpiderExtras Performance sway bar

    The F3 is no different. I installed a Baja Ron bar in the spring on my '15. As soon as I rolled out of the driveway and made my first 3 turns I thought dang, I should have done this waaaay sooner.

    DynoJet PowerVision Help

    I feel that my throttle is much more responsive than before and it pulls harder through the higher gears. I don't have any track times or any dyno readouts to corroborate that feeling, but I'm happy with my new perceived power.

    Was a Spyder a Mistake?

    If you haven't already researched it, the North Cascade Loop is a must for two or three wheels when in the PNW.
