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.

:welcome::clap:So if you didn't get the hint yet read the do's and don'ts thread,tho since you have a 1330 motor you can skip all the VTwin stuff. Read the section in your owners manual about how to ride a Spyder. I came from 40+ years on 2 wheels but did have 4 years on a Goldwing trike that helped. It still handles different even then a trike. After you read all that stuff go out and ride,ride,ride,ride,ride. The more you ride it the more you'll like it. And pictures,this is a visual group:nopic:

Welcome, Wecome & Welcome
Basically purchased my first Spyder...totally unseen until delivery person deposited on my driveway. That was Memorial Weekend 2010...and even though the learning curve took awhile...that was all history within 1000 miles and haven't slowed down since. Highly recommend taking a 3 wheel course...I never had to unlearn anything as never rode a 2 wheeler....lots of great advise here with the very best Spyder lovers in the world....again welcome. Waiting for the pictures...and because you are asking ?'s that means you are teachable. Winning combination. Wahoo. :clap::thumbup:

Picked it up today !
Hello
So I picked up my 2017 f3t today. It was nice to drive something that had 0.0 miles on it since I have never bought anything brand new. The ride was smoother that I thought it would be and it to cornered very well. I rode it for about 50 miles at varying speeds and I was very happy with my first ride ever on a can am. My first long trip will be to Americade at Lake George so to say im looking forward to it would be an understatement. Thanks to all who offered advice and thanks to all the contributed to the do 's and dont's forum your advice was appreciated. I do have just one question. The dealer handed the new owners manual . The was an extra lock cylinder for the side bags and the were also two 3m clear decals. They were 4inch by 4 inch. He said they came in the packet but he had no clue what they we for ? I'm sure they had purpose just curious as to what purpose ? Again I appreciate all of you for your advice. .

Awesome! If you're going to Lake George for Americade that means we'll see you in Lake George in September for Spyderquest, right?

Hi JD,
Those clear decals are to put near your boots to prevent rubbing the paint. I used mine on the side of the tank as I have looooong legs and my knees contact the paint there.

AS a VERY WISE person on this site told me - - find a parking lot and practice turning and stopping and most important - RELAX YOUR GRIP and just enjoy the RYDE. :dg1:

That's what I did the other day. Then took some back roads for twisty practice.
