• 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.

    Spyders passing HDs

    Just don't jump on a Honda Silverwing scooter, he will blow you off the highway, yes a scooter. 0 to 60 mph in 8 seconds, top speed at least 120 mph! I have seen several Harleys get blown away, but they do have quality control at their plants and a good dealer networking system! BRP could...

    What's the one thing you think is Useless Junk on your Spyder?

    After owning 3 Spyders in a row, and comparing them to other type motorcycles I have owned in my 77 years, I would have to say the most Useless Junk is the Spyder itself! Poor quality control at the factory, terrible dealer network, and highly over priced!

    Had a bad morning at my local Can Am dealer in NE Florida, just a FYI.

    I have owned 3 Spyders in a row! I just sold my 2018 F-3 Limited because of such crap as this, and went back to riding a Honda! BRP better wake up and get a dealer network that cares about customers, or get out of the business!

    BRP and DEALER SERVICE

    Yes I agree that BRP and the dealers are a large part of the problems with owning a Spyder! I have owned 3 Spyders, a 2013 RT Limited. 2016 RT Limited, and a 2018 F-3 Limited! Most dealers don't keep any parts because of low sales, thus sometimes a waiting period on parts becomes a problem...

    Got my new Ryker - didn't even make it a mile

    Where is the quality control BRP???? BRP has the best opportunity right now to boost their sales in the US! Harley Davidson is in trouble by over pricing their products and other reasons, they are losing 8-10 percent of their business per year, and Honda and others are not gaining sales, so...

    Coolant expansion Tank leak

    Yes, I had a 2016 RT Limited that had the same leak. I called Cheap motorcycle parts and order a new coolant jug and replaced it myself ! BRP didn't seem to want to fix it! Mine would leak when it got the coolant hot and it expanded. When I stopped, it would leak at the top seam! Shame on...

    Oil Change F3T

    Get the Gold pugs as mentioned above, and you will like that a lot better. You use a set of sockets and a ratchet to take them out and it is a lot easier!

    How many Spyder owners ride with no extended warranty?

    I would like to know how many people trust their Spyders to ride them without a warranty! I have bought many two wheel motorcycles, and never had a warranty, including several Harley's. My Spyder dealer"s hourly rates are $128 dollars an hour for a Tech with ear rings in several places and...

    New Member 2012 RT Ltd with a coolant leak!

    Had to replace an antifreeze tank on a 2016 RTL that I bought new! Tank came from factory with a unglued top portion, so when engine got warm and fluid flowed back in the tank, it would leak out on the ground! I got tired of waiting on dealer, so I ordered the tank and replaced it myself...

    Wrong key showing on screen

    Guys, on my 2018 F-3 Limited which I bought new 2 1/2 years ago, sometimes when I switch it off to get gas and use my key to unlock the fuel tank cap, then when I re-insert my key and try to start the engine, I get a key notice on my screen like I don't have the right key! I switch it off and...

    Spyder reliability (long term)

    I am on my third Spyder, and reliability is a problem that I worry about! So far, I have either sold them before the warranty run out, or taken the extended warranty. My dealer's shop charges are $128 dollars an hour, so I can't afford to ride without a warranty! I still feel that BRP needs to...

    Hot Springs Spyder Rally June 10-12, 2021

    We would love to come, but it is 774 miles from South Georgia to Hot Springs, and due to our age 76 and 71, I don't feel like it would be safe for us to make the trip! I hope it is very a successful rally, and would like to attend some rallies! We just don't have a lot of people to ride with...

    To those that switched from an 1330 Rt-s to an F3 limited

    No regrets, my hips would get out of joint on the RT Limited's I had, and I would go to the Doctor and he would tell me nothing was wrong with my hips! On my F3 Limited I have never had any hip problems and I have plenty of leg room! Also less panels to remove to change oil filter!

    Need to trailer 2 Spyder F3 on one trailer. Will a 7x16 work?

    Not enough room, as said in a previous comment! On a 6X10, it is a tight squeeze for one F-3. Please remember , if you turn one on backward, you need to take off the windshield on that one!

    Torque axle vs Torque nut

    Axle nut tighten I would not do that on the axle end, do it on the nut end! A dealer did mine on the bolt end, and in a couple of weeks, I felt my rear end shifting on my Spyder, and the nut had come loose! You can order you a short socket and with a pull handle you can reach the nut end...

    Any ideas about a Coolant leak before stealership visit?

    Check your coolant jug, on my 2nd RT Limited (2016 year) I had the same problem! I finally chased it down to the coolant jug was not seamed together good when it was put together at the factory! So when I was riding and the temperature when up, the coolant returned to the coolant jug and it...

    Cruise Control Stopped Working - 2020 RTL

    I had some of the same type of problems on my 2018 F3L. They had to change out the right hand module where your cruise button is located! Once they changed it my cruise worked, but then had to change out the left hand module because they said they had to be paired together because it got where...
