• 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.

Does my new Spyder need a Break in period or service? First service?

I upgraded from a used 2021 F3 base to a brand new 2023 F3 Limited. I have owned new motorcycles and vehicles in the past, all had some "break in" period and required service after X number of miles.
Can the same be said for a new Spyder? Do I need to keep it under a certain MPH for X number of miles? When should I have the first service done?
Appreciate any guidance.

:welcome: ..... your owners manual has guidelines as to initial operation ..... I have only brought my Spyder in for service to have Waranty issues done .... I have done all the maintenance work my self ... good luck ....Mike :thumbup:
 
Gidday and welcome.
Running in, just the usual I guess, like dont lug it at low revs and dont wring its neck. Easy on the throttle and let it run.
I know the BRP manual is something else but its worth reading it.
 
It makes sense to read the manual even before you get it. Sometimes it takes reading something several times before it sinks in. Even the starting of a Spyder can be daunting if you’ve never done it. When I picked my first one up I went for some lunch after the purchase and upon trying to start it , I had already forgotten the procedure and had to call the dealer for instructions.
 
I nosed mine into a parking spot and forgot how to get it in reverse!!:gaah: It took a few minutes to remember what the magic trick was!
