• 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.

    I'm going to try and answer your question, and I am not putting any method for doing the 3-wheel alignment down. Like any tool, the proficiency of the operator plays a major role in the use of that equipment. For people like Lamonster, Squared Away, etc, who have been around since day one, their...

    I do have a 2021 F3 Ltd. It was what started all this. I LOVE my Spyder. I had a Yamaha Raider for 10 years before getting the Spyder.

    Spyder owners are stuck up - why is this so?? Please explain...

    I am a waver and will talk your ear off if we meet up. It bothers me when others don't wave back, but it feels worse if I don't wave to acknowledge them.

    This system does not need BUDS/ BUDS2. The only time you will need to use BUDS is if you replace the steering angle sensor or replace the steering system. I have been told by people, who once were strangers that I was giving a helping hand to that are now friends for life, of the issues that...

    I can mount and balance your front tires. Sorry, I don't do the rear. Just give a call and we can setup a time. In the past 2 years, which has been painful, that I have not been able to help more people from this forum. You deserve better. I know change is hard to accept, but this is very good...

    Thank you Leon for your kind words. This was not a laser alignment system. It's a patent tool and process that uses a 3D aligner. Like you have seen, I have built and proven specs for single riders and dual riders. The accuracy of the alignment system is 0.01 degree for toe, 0.1 degree for...

    Adding Ride On to your tires - Good, Bad, Opinions?

    I like using Ride On. I have used it for the last 12 years and I have not had to balance my wheels. When I had my Yamaha Raider, I replaced 3 sets of tires and add Ride On and never had to balance the wheels. I recently replaced my rear tire on my Spyder and since I did not have a way to balance...

    Anyone done a Cat Delete leaving stock muffler on?

    I did mine a year ago and love it. I found mine had a little metallic sound, so I wrapped from the base of the exhaust manifold to the muffler with heat wrap. You can buy the wrap at any parts store.

    2022 RT Rims are HARD TO CLEAN! What do you do?

    Hi Rick, I have a 2021 F3 Ltd with the same wheels and they are also black. I use a bucket of water and rag to clean my Spyder. The easiest way I found to clean it is to jack the whole vehicle off the floor, that way I can clean the inside and outside of the wheels, including the rear wheel. I...

    Where do I get the front suspension ring tools for 2018 F3S?

    A word of caution, the preload adjuster, from bottom to top is about 1". If you move it to the max, it will change the ride height which will change the camber and make it more positive and that will cause the toe to be off. At minimum, get the toe reset, and hope the positive camber don't wear...
