• 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.

    F3 LTD owners - how do you run wires fm dash top compartment to h/bars?

    The USB cable doesn't keep the phone charged? That doesn't make any sense. The USB connection on my Gold Wing serves as both a way to connect my phone to my bike, and it keeps the phone charged at the same time. I would've thought the USB connection on the Spyder would do the same thing...

    F3 owners - how does the rider's backrest mount?

    I've notice that some F3s I've looked at have a riders backrest installed, and some don't. Most of these backrests, at least on two wheeled bikes anyway, have a slot in the rear portion of the seat for the bar the pad is mounted to. In pics of the F3, it looks like this bar just slides between...

    F3 LTD owners - how do you run wires fm dash top compartment to h/bars?

    This is about the compartment on top of the dash, directly below the windshield. Having USB ports, I'm assuming this compartment is for your phone. However, I don't see any spot to run the cable through if you want to mount your phone on the handlebars, and you can't close the lid with the cable...

    Does a recall stay with the machine regardless of who owns it?

    In reference to the output shaft recall, this would affect my decision, as I'm looking to buy from the same year range. I've always understood that a recall is for safety issues, therefore it stays with the machine. If it does, this won't affect my decision one bit...

    Contemplating buying a Spyder - any reliability, power, and buyer's remorse issues?

    Harley's dealer support is second to none, but that isn't enough to get me to buy one. HDs under perform, and are way too expensive. Honda's support may be available, but my impression of their service depts is they don't like to honor their own warranty. I realize dealer support on long trips...

    Contemplating buying a Spyder - any reliability, power, and buyer's remorse issues?

    I have no doubt my mechanic will work on Spyders. He told me he does. He works on basically any type of vehicle that falls into the motorcycle/ATV/snowmobile category, and he is very good at it, and probably better than ANY dealership technician. I can do most of the basic stuff myself, like...

    What maintenance tasks are proprietary?

    I talked to my independent mechanic to get his perspective about the Spyder. He said the models with the 1330 engine are reliable (as many of you guys have said), but he said there's only certain maintenance tasks he can do on the machine because some tasks are coded, meaning that only a Can Am...

    Contemplating buying a Spyder - any reliability, power, and buyer's remorse issues?

    I talked to my mechanic the other day just to get his perspective of the Spyder. He said the 1330 models seem to be reliable, but he can only do certain maintenance tasks because many of them are coded. He says certain things can only be accomplished by an authorized service center. He didn't go...

    Anyone else notice the excessive amount of throttle twist/rotation required??

    I noticed this yesterday on both an F3 and an RT. I thought both required way too much turn, to the point of having to reposition my hand on the grip to get full throttle. I would think a Pedal Commander would solve this...

    Contemplating buying a Spyder - any reliability, power, and buyer's remorse issues?

    I rode two Spyders today. Both were 2017 models. The first one was an F3 Limited. What I liked: the handling, the looks (I like the narrower front end with the radiators mounted length wise. He also had a '22 RT and I don't like the way the radiators are mounted, that's all you see when...
