• 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.

    Most amount of miles/KM you have ridden in one day on the Spyder

    My wife and I rode our F3’s from Townsend, TN back to DFW - about 910 miles or so. Left before sunrise and got home after sunset. I had done the same trip before on a Honda Shadow Aero 750.

    Sprocket Recall - What's Wrong With BRP's Logistics?

    The dealer we were using was Freedom in Weatherford. They parked my wife’s garage-kept Spyder outside for the first two months they had it waiting on a sprocket. We finally decided to go pick it up and bring it back to house to put it back inside while we waited and waited…

    Sprocket Recall - What's Wrong With BRP's Logistics?

    To provide a bit of closure to my original gripe about my dealer not getting the sprocket that was ordered two an a half months ago, I called them on Friday, the 9th, and asked about the status of the replacement sprocket order. They had no idea where it was or when they would get it. I told...

    Sprocket Recall - What's Wrong With BRP's Logistics?

    Need to call Freedom in Weatherford tomorrow - they’re the dealer we’re waiting on to get the new sprocket! This ticks me off if they told you one to two weeks!

    Sprocket Recall - What's Wrong With BRP's Logistics?

    Getting a little frustrated with BRP's response on the sprocket recall. We took my wife's F3-T in for the inspection of the sprocket in early September, as we planned several Spyder trips this fall now that the weather was getting cooler. Unfortunately, hers was one of the apparently small...

    Red Dust of Death Recall???? Front Sprocket Recall - FINALLY....

    Same thing really baffles me too. The recall doesn’t cover the entire range of 1330 production, so were there sprocket part number changes before and after the range of the recall? If it were that simple, the fix would be to use the older or newer sprocket part number. I suspect that’s not the...

    Swaybar on the Rally Edition

    If the install of the OEM bar is a real bear, what do you think the removal of it will be like to swap it out with your bar? After seeing Lamont’s and a few other Rykers today, my wife and I have talked ourselves into adding a Rally Edition to our Spyder stable. In that case, we’ll have to do...

    Letter to shad, givi, etc. Saddlebags

    A Kuryakyn rep was at Lamontster’s Garage this week and she said they’re working on saddlebags for the Ryker. Lamont offers a Kuryakyn tail bag, which he currently has on his Ryker. Saw another Ryker at Lamont’s place today and it has a Shad SH58X top case on it. The owner said he had to drill a...

    Undressed Ryker Photos

    Are the brakes “fly by wire” - no hard brake linkage like on the F3? Seems like that would be the easiest way to make the right peg/brake pedal quickly adjustable.

    BRP rebate

    Can Am needs this substantial rebate just to have a prayer of a chance at selling any 2018 models. The 2019 F3-Limited is $3900 LESS than the 2018 F3-Limited. I haven’t compared features to see if they de-contented the 2019 to facilitate the price reduction, but I doubt it. The $5500 rebate is...

    F3s trailering

    I picked up a Mini Trailer at Spyderfest. I’m using the BRP hitch. Love the trailer - don’t really notice it. We hooked it up and I towed it around some of the twisty roads in southern Missouri before pulling it home (to Keller). My wife said she still had a tough time keeping up with me on the...

    Replace the lens.....

    Just have to pull harder - the clips on the bottom will let go. I had the exact same issue/concern. Mine finally did come off, but it definitely took some effort!

    Fitted Luggage for F3T and Ltd

    BRP has liners for the frunk, saddlebags, and top case for the F3. Good quality and fits perfectly, obviously. Not aware if anything else is out there.

    Need Some Suggestions

    3rd Peg Glad you’ve given the Spyders a look! Lamont created the missing 3rd peg for the F-3 for just your scenario. My wife and I have them on our F3’s and they make it an order of magnitude easier to get on and off the F3. Absolutely love this mod for the F3! Check out the 3rd peg on...

    2016 F3T , 1 month old, and an oil leak

    We went to do a test ride of a 2016 F3-T about a month ago at one of the DFW area Spyder dealers. It just so happened that the BRP truck was there for Spyder test rydes, along with some BRP folks. It turns out that the dealer had just put that Spyder that we were looking at into their test ryde...

    New F3T - Finally in my Garage - Floor board and brake question

    Oh, and congratulations on the new F3-T! I'm seriously considering switching to the F3-T myself so I can add a top case to carry my laptop bag to/from work. A nearby dealer may have a leftover '16 white Limited for a fantastic price.

    New F3T - Finally in my Garage - Floor board and brake question

    My wife has the standard Web Boards on her F3-T. From the pictures, it appears to me that the added length is below the attach bolts, so in general, I would expect the relationship between the Web Board and the brake pedal to be the same. To me, the slant in the Web Board puts your foot much...

    Kon Tour Seats

    I had one on my BMW K1600 GTL. It was a firm seat like the Corbin that I now have on my F3-S. It did ride a bit cooler in our hot Texas summers. Overall, I liked it.

    Smooth Spyder F3 backrest

    My wife has the Smooth Spyder backrest on her F3-T. She really likes it. I like the functionality of it.

    F3-T Like GoldWing

    Another option to consider for an alternate foot position that is more sport tourer-like on the F3 is to add Lamont's third peg option. This will give you an option to have your feet under you while eating up miles on the road. It's not a foot position you'd use much around town in stop and go...
