• 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.

Here's a picture of my aux (fog) light switch there. My heated grips are on backorder, but I'm going to assume the heated grip switch will be on the other side.

Here are the sections of the wiring diagrams for the fog lights and heated grips if you want to compare the wire colors.

QUESTION ANSWERED

Lamont;
i just pick up my new F3-S today....
after a short run, i can home to start dissecting her, i have 2 questions...
1. on either side of the ignitions switch are two ports, see picture below... upon removing the port covers, i find there are electrical connectors attached to the under-side of the covers... obviously, these wires were intended for something... have you any idea what they are for??? i was going to install 2 12V adapters at these locations, and should the wiring be applicable to those, it would be a great help to know... if this is possible, and should you know which fuse these lead to, that also would be greatly appreciated...

2. i removed the 'end caps' on the handle bars so that i could remove the 'grips'... i have the Kuryakyn grips i want to install, but i see that the OEM grips are far different than most other motorcycles... is it possible to replace the OEM grips with after market ones??? and how is that accomplished???

hope your F3 project is going well....

if anyone else out there has the answers, please jump in....

MY QUESTION HAS BEEN ANSWERED.....
ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE IGNITION SWITCH, IS THE SPOT WHERE THE AUXILARY LIGHTS SWITCH GOES, AND ON THE LEFT IS THE SWITCH FOR THE HEATED GRIPS....
THANX TO THE SERVICE MANAGER, BRIDGET, AT POWERSPORTS OF GREENVILLE...
 
Based on this, it appears that the auxiliary light kit includes 2 light/lens assemblies, some attaching hardware, and the switch - all for $500!! The wiring is already on the Spyder. (At least on the F3-S, and a I suspect the standard model, as well.) Does anyone know if everything is already in place for the heated handgrips, except the switch? Like the picture that Dan showed, I've seen the wiring going to the left hand switch blank. In looking at the wiring schematic on the BRP website, the chassis harness has connectors for both heated handgrips, so the wiring them is already run to some point - possibly to the clusters. After seeing the thread about the cruise control already on the base models of the other Spyders, sans the fancy rocker switch, I got to wondering if the heated handgrips were just lacking the switch? Has anyone gotten their hands on the heated handgrips kit to see what's in the $220 box? If it involves an actual handgrip replacement, has anyone installed them? I took the end cap off of the LH (fixed) handgrip today and it wasn't readily apparent how to get the handgrip itself off. I'm holding off installing my Lidlox handlebar helmet locks and Beemer Buddy grip wraps until I get the heated handgrips installed. If I knew they were already installed, then I could put the rest of the stuff on. (I'm kinda hoping there's an actual grip swap-out, otherwise we're paying $220 for a switch!)
