• 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.

    Is there a Linq rack that will fit on a F3 Ltd or T?

    The F3L has a LINQ topcase. Technically the F3T can have this setup as well but BRP discontinued the accessory kit to do so because of supply chain issues - they wanted all the parts to go to building new F3L's It used to be part 219401080 to add the LINQ adapter and top case to the F3T I...

    Wondering what Spyder F3-T Mileage is?

    It's all about your wrist through.. the 1330 is a heck of a lot of fun with eco mode off and the throttle wound out.. but you'll sacrifice the pump. Pure highway I'm in that same mid/high 30s.. usually average about 32 normal spirited riding on my 2021 F3T

    My 2022 Spyder F3T missing air suspension...

    Thanks for the update! It's amazing how many short cuts you find on some of these - for instance, my radio antenna was never connected from the Factory.. the wire was run and sitting about an inch away from the antenna base, just not touching it. Amazingly, my radio reception greatly improved...

    How do I get to odometer to figure out my mileage?

    I think that's the "on timer" for that trip. So how many hours and minutes of operation for that trip. That particular span was almost all surface street driving to and from work with little highway and the math works out. 4:52 hours / 161 miles averages me out to 32ish mph average which...

    Top Case - Always on or can be removed on 2021 F3 Ltd?

    From what I have been told the 2018+ F3's are incompatible with the earlier topcases. I am not sure why but that was what my dealership told me (because the pre-2018 topcases are pretty easy to get)

    Top Case - Always on or can be removed on 2021 F3 Ltd?

    Agreed. With the F3 BRP seems to be actively trying to discourage people from trying to bridge across models. I looked into putting a Ltd LINQ top case on my F3T and the parts kit to even accomplish that was discontinued on the 2019+ F3's. There are other silly things like the difference in...

    Top Case - Always on or can be removed on 2021 F3 Ltd?

    It can be removed but the F3 Limited doesn't have a "beauty cover" to go in the space where it was.. so you will have exposed brackets and cabling for the case exposed. There is a cover plate that fills this space on the F3 Touring - I believe you have to also remove the LINQ adapter that the...

    How do I get to odometer to figure out my mileage?

    Just noted that you have the orange display so.. my directions may not work the same for you. READING! It's a good thing.. hah

    How do I get to odometer to figure out my mileage?

    On the 2018+ models of the F3 you can get that information from the Trip/Stats screen. Using the LH thumbstick Press it like a button to get into the home menu Press right to select "Launch Stats/Trip" Toggle left/right to select between Trip A, Trip B and Total This screen displays...

    2019 Spyder F3 License Plate - how does it mount?

    What model F3? The T/L are different from the base and S due to different rear bodywork

    What's the suggestion for Adding Cruise Control to an F3?

    Yes it can be done - I did it on my 2013 ST. Easiest way is to buy the control pod from the right-hand handle of a F3T or F3L and then trace the wires back through the body. Beyond that it is plug and play. Below is my video of doing this on my ST for reference.. the process will be largely...

    My 2022 Spyder F3T missing air suspension...

    There’s a table on a sticker under the rear seat that gives recommended pressure based on rider and passenger/gear weights

    My 2022 Spyder F3T missing air suspension...

    Is the squeaking sound coming from the front? Mine did the same thing because the dash bezel wasn't fully snapped in which caused the plastics to rub against each other and make a high pitched squeak that you could hear at low speeds - press along the plastic that runs around the dash...

    My 2022 Spyder F3T missing air suspension...

    This is from my 2021 F3T (which is currently rather dirty)

    My 2022 Spyder F3T missing air suspension...

    Yeah.. your valve should be in that hole in the lower-right corner of your Spyder. That's where it is on my 2021 F3T The Limited has an automatic system that adjusts the pressure (so no valve) - the Touring model requires manual adjusting of the rear bag with a simple shrader valve with a...

    Spyder vs Hail Storm (Wisconsin 09/02/2022)

    Was riding to a friend's cabin Friday afternoon, in fairly extreme heat, watching clouds appear and boil in front of me. I had the random thought that it would actually feel really good if it rained a bit - less than 5 minutes later I was splattered with massive drops of rain and a minute after...

    HowTo: Installing the LED Headlight/DRL/Signal Upgrade from TricLED/SlingMods

    Hah - If I hadn't been stopping to film and document (and had all the pieces in the kit).. I actually could have probably completed this upgrade in under an hour. I think I was mostly nervous about things I had heard from people removing the top side-vent piece from the bodywork and how...

    TricLED Headlight Upgrade - Comparison with stock (video)

    The video has both - high beams are in the second half. Biggest difference with the high beams over stock is it's additive - the high beam lights turn on or off but the low beams stay on constant, vs the standard lights where the filament switches from one to the other (near the very end of the...
