• 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.

    Need help with cat pipe

    Mine was from RLS and yes for some reason the top hanger went the wrong way, so heated it up and bent it in the correct direction and used the original rubber hanger. Works great.

    Luggage rack advice, please?

    Check with Pierre at Can Am Accessories, his rear rack is quite sturdy and should be adaptable with your set up. https://www.canamspyderaccessories.com/f3-spyder/carry-bag-shelf/

    Cat delete - RLS exhaust

    I'm with Martin, I run the RLS with the stock exhaust and no Baffler on my 2015 F3S and love it, my butt dyno noticed no decrease in performance and my mpg went up. Little video going through the tunnels on Angeles Crest Hwy. https://youtu.be/TdPIU9UdhI0

    Where can I buy Saddlebags for an F3-S?

    I have the Corbin sides cases and really like the look, they also hold quite a bit and I can open them from the saddle to grab my water bottle. They did come with the bike(a good selling feature) and are a little pricey but they do look good.

    Using auto tires on any spyder

    Another thumbs up for Tire Rack. Also I use Honda Yamaha of Redlands to mount the rear tire, they even carry the new and old tire down to the service dept. Can't balance because the rear won't fit in the machine but I do it static so not a problem.

    Can't decide which F3 Spyder to buy - any guidance?

    I have the 2015 F3S with manual and the clutch pull is a bit stiff, I don't notice it all that much cause I've ridden 2 wheels for 50 years so I have really good grip strength. I've heard there is a vacuum assist that can be added for an easier clutch pull but not sure which models it is...

    1330cc What kind of average Fuel milage do you get?

    I get 32 to 38 on my F3S with manual trans and not in Eco mode. Lots of mountain driving and I like to get on it a bit.

    What tire gage do you have faith in ??

    Just got a new tire pressure gauge from Jaco superior products and it is by far one of the best gauges I have used and it agrees with my other dial gauge that is a pain to use especially on the back tire. The Jaco locks on with no loss of air and it is the type that attaches to the air hose so...

    I’m 5”6 going to buy F3 Is stock F3 handlebar adjustable?

    Don't know about anybody else but mine was, I brought it back and down a bit so it fit better, no problem just loosen the 4 bolts and move it. The hex head bolts are an odd size, 7mm if a remember, but if you have a metric hex driver set should be no problem.

    Another guess where the Spyder is

    Went for a little ride to my favorite spot to take photos of motorcycles. If you know where this is post up, if not follow the link to YouTube and I tell you where this is. https://youtu.be/YYU4BvmbzMk https://www.dropbox.com/s/eqw4o0gnijru8hj/2019-06-19%2010.13.48.jpg?dl=0

    2015 F3 S followed me home

    Adjusted the footboards to better suit me and also the handle bars so I can see the mirrors (amazing how that works) and went for a ride on Glendora Ridge Rd. and now I'm even more impressed with the way the F3 handles. Remember the tilt-a-whirl where you started out slow and then whipped around...

    M2 or Elka- Worth the Money?

    Just bought a 2015 F3 S and it came with the Elka stage 3 front shocks and a Baja Ron's sway bar and comparing it to the 2012 RS S I had is like night and day in the handling department, the RSS did have Baja Ron's sway bar but stock shocks and with the sway bar it was better but still didn't...

    2015 F3 S followed me home

    Well due to failing leg strength and a few other non life threatening medical issues I decided to go back to the Y factor, had a 2012 RS S 1 1/2 years ago but wasn't quite ready to give up 2 wheels. Found this F3 on Craigs list and what a hoot to ride. Handles better that the RS did and the...

    Helmet/Riding Position question...

    I have the RPHA 10 and it works just fine for any style of riding, has plenty of ventilation and the face shield has a de-fogging position which allows more air flow. I use it with a Ninja 1000, V-Strom 650 which has a Madstad windscreen, and a BMW R1100RT and it works just fine for all of them...

    Camera for motorcycle

    I have used the SJcam4000 and it is almost up to the quality of my GoPro 4 Silver, not quite but close. But for the price it is hard to beat. Also have a Sena Tube that has as good or better quality as the GP and the sound with the remote mic is excellent except it won't interface with existing...

    2011 RS S new to me

    Hi, just joined what looks to be a great forum. Bought a 2011 RS S with 6700 miles on it and having a blast learning to ride something completely different from the motorcycles I've ridden for 40+ years. Rode156 miles the other day up 243 to Idyllwild and then 74 down to Hemet andyes it was a...
