• 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.

    What about what you don't you like about the Spyder?

    The damn directional lights switch is driving me nuts! It's almost impossible to cancel without inadvertently moving the switch to indicate an opposite side blinker. Many times I have to take my eyes off the road and check to make sure the blinkers are cancelled. Very annoying!

    Dealer service BS

    So I brought in my 2018 F3 Limited for its first service. At the time, I mentioned to the service writer that my right mirror is partially dislodged, and that my handlebars shake at practically all speeds as if one or both front tires are unbalanced. Today I went to pick my Spyder up and was...

    Inspection sticker

    NY State law requires the inspection sticker to be adhered to a "non-removable" part of the bike (such as frame, forks, etc), where it is visible. I know several people who had installed their stickers on a chromed plate that attaches with a bolt to the frame. They got tickets for that, as the...

    Whining Sound At 50mph ???

    I have the same whining noise on my F3L, which starts at about 45mph and goes away above 50mph. It's there, no matter what gear it's in. I think it's the belt.

    What Tire gauge are you all using?

    My 2018 F3L comes with a small digital pressure gauge in the tool pouch (under the passenger seat). Never tried it, though, as I have a good analog gauge.

    Riding boots

    +1 on Cruiserworks. Had them for about 15 years, re-soled them twice and they are still in good shape and waterproof.

    F3 Limited trunk issue?

    Ricz, I looked at it myself thinking the same. No adjustment. I guess the trunk lid material is so thin that it cannot hold its shape and it flops around like a wet noodle. I was even thinking about gluing in some kind of reinforcement on the underside of the lid.

    F3 Limited trunk issue?

    My 2018 F3L did the same thing (not engaging trunk tab on left side, unless pushed in place). Since the paint job on the frunk and trunk lids was mottled, after the dealer replaced them, the trunk lid now has issues engaging the tabs on BOTH sides. Sigh...

    Group Rides - Tail Gunner ???

    By definition, a "tail gunner" is the last person in the formation, regardless of the group's size. His responsibility is to stay at the end of the group and if CB equipped, relay information to the leader in case part of the group gets separated by traffic, stop lights, etc. He should also...

    Do we like modular helmets or not???

    I wear a Shoei RJ Air 3/4 helemet anytime temps are above 55*. Nolan N103 modular for when it's rainy or below 55*. If going on a longer/overnight trip, I bring both (in case it rains). Thankfully the top case on my F3 Ltd can hold two helmets. Never cared too much for closed helmets as I find...

    Show Chrome windshield

    If it scratches that easily then it may not be such a bargain... For an extra $80 I can get Lamonster's shield.

    Show Chrome windshield

    Anybody here has the Show Chrome windshield (sold by Sling Mods), and if so, how is it? The price is a lot less than all the other offerings ($170). It only comes in one size (30"wide x 24" tall) but could be made smaller by cutting it down (something that I have done to motorcycle windshields...

    Throw away fasteners

    I am still not convinced. All the cars and bikes I owned and serviced (I never owned a Porsche) had reusable caliper bolts. Maybe those are a few cents more expensive to use, and this way BRP can save a chunk of cash but, as usual, us -the owners will have to pay for new bolts every time the...

    Throw away fasteners

    I was perusing the shop manual for my 2018 F3LTD and I noticed that a lot of fasteners, like the brake caliper bolts, are throw aways. Why is that? I have been doing maintenance on all my vehicles, including brakes, and I never came across any fasteners that needed to be discarded and replaced...

    2018 F3 Limited handle bar not centered

    I have a 2018 F3 LTD, which I picked up at the end of September. Besides the mottled, cloudy pearl white paint job ( http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?116034-2018-F3-Limited-White-pearl-paintjob&p=1401751#post1401751), I also noticed that when going down a perfectly straight...
