• 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.

    Will the usual add-ons fit the Tri Axis bars on my RT?

    I recently purchased my Tri Axis bars for my RT after friends recommended them and reading all the positive comments here and we're set to have them installed early next week. I have a question though. Does anyone know if the same accessories can be attached to these handlebars, like a phone...

    Need advice on 2014 RT I am hoping to buy

    Good luck Bob. I figured out on a road trip two years ago on my Harley that pulling in the clutch and brake with my arthritis that it was no longer fun to ride (after 30 years of riding a 2-wheeler). When I got home I immediately put it up for sale. By the way, I bought my F3 at Proshop...

    Need advice on 2014 RT I am hoping to buy

    Thanks. I am still looking at putting a few graphics on it to make it pop. Sure don't want anyone thinking it is even close to beige since I am not a beige sort of person.

    Need advice on 2014 RT I am hoping to buy

    No beige for me! LOL!!! While riding home, with the sun hitting it, the color is more goldish. Still not my favorite but definitely not beige. However if it had chocolate brown seats, that could really be a nice look. I am happy as I think this bike I will have a lot more confidence in. Now...

    Need advice on 2014 RT I am hoping to buy

    Unbelievable - yesterday I started looking at some of the great deals the dealerships have right now and one of them offered a trade-in on my F3 $4,000 more than any other dealer. So we made a deal on a beautiful 2018 champagne colored RT at 5 pm and I immediately cancelled the inspection on the...

    Need advice on 2014 RT I am hoping to buy

    The seller is taking it in to be inspected on Saturday and getting a report. I will make my decision after seeing if it has a clean bill of health. I really don't want to walk away if everything is certified as good. The seller did ride it home to Claremont, CA from Colorado Springs and he...

    Need advice on 2014 RT I am hoping to buy

    OMG, I am devastated!!!!! I called Pikes Peak Motorsports in Colorado Springs and they show from looking up the VIN# that there was a CRASH estimate they wrote up for $3,600 + tax + shop supplies from 2015. :banghead: The guy may have had the work done elsewhere as that is all they show. I am...

    Need advice on 2014 RT I am hoping to buy

    With the VIN # I found out from Malcolm Smith Motorsports there was an issue in 2014 with the ignition switch and parking brake in 2018. They said I might find out if it had any major mechanical problems from the dealer in Colorado Springs. Although seller has two original keys he does not have...

    Need advice on 2014 RT I am hoping to buy

    I would like to thank you ALL for the great replies. I was out of town in Reno for Hot August Nights (boyfriend is a hotrod builder) until last night. I have sent an email to the seller asking questions about the tires (and possible cupping), and other questions that I would not have known to...

    Need advice on 2014 RT I am hoping to buy

    I found what appears to be a nice 2014 RT and I am selling my 2015 F3 (which is listed in the For Sale section). I am trying to ask the guy all the right questions. It was bought in Colorado Springs with mileage of 6,500 and he and his wife rode it back to California. It now has 12,000 miles...

    Horrible handling issue with major wind gusts

    I agree with you. This is probably a dumb question but I am really curious if a person (other than a mechanic) could actually call and talk to someone at BRP? I would love to find out if there have been complaints about the light front end and if there is anything that can be done. They may...

    Horrible handling issue with major wind gusts

    It's been awhile since my last post and I wanted to give an update since I have a lot more miles under my belt. I had been handling my F3 pretty well until about a month ago when a group of us rode up through Palmdale and Lancaster - VERY windy areas. We came up a hill and a huge gust came...

    Horrible handling issue with major wind gusts

    I had a long talk with my mechanic yesterday and I found out the alignment was not a lazer alignment. He also explained to me how much lighter the F3SE6 is especially in the front compared to the RT and the RS models. I wish I had known this as I bought the F3 after ONE demo ride at the local...

    Horrible handling issue with major wind gusts

    Actually live in Riverside, not the high desert. I very much appreciate your advice. The friend I called is a long time Spyder rider and started the Spyder group here. She's owned three and the latest is an F3. She said her other Spyders did not have the wind issue like her new one. She said I...

    Horrible handling issue with major wind gusts

    I was literally fighting with it to stay on the road. Not a good feeling. I doubt it has the sway bar but I will have my mechanic check or can I tell by looking? This is why I am asking. If there is something I can do, I will do it. I don't really want to sell it. I have been telling everyone...
