• 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.

New F3 needs a alignment

Picked up F3 last Friday and noticed that it drifts when I let her track on her own. I'm in the Los Angeles area, does anyone know where I can get a laser alignment?

No..!!

but if you pack a lunch and head to Vegas you will find "Squared Away" and Ann and Joe can fix you up. If you check with them they may be coming to your area as they travel around. Get a group together and they will come to your door..:roflblack: well maybe not your door but close...:thumbup:
 
Go to ROLO/Outlaw lazar alignment web page it has all the dealer/ people that has brought the system. I'm sure there is someone that is close by
 
Dealer/BRP problem

Why would you spend more money for an alignment?......Take it back to the dealer and make sure they get it right. If everyone continues to bypass the dealers/BRP then there is no incentive for them to get it done properly. Just my $.02 worth.

In this case it is worth the money to get it fixed right the first time instead of going to the dealer and hearing "they all do that" or a four hour BRP job that makes the handling worse. While I agree the alignment should be right when you get the bike this is not the case. I had a laser alignment done and have no regrets.
 
Ohhhhhh, Ohhhhhh here comes my very first negative post on the new F3.

A machine costing $20K + should come out of the factory properly aligned. If that continues to be a problem, then, the dealer should have the laser alignment tools and use them properly before sending the new machine out the door. A properly aligned machine should be what comes out the door after dealer prep.

Based on what we read here, a free, laser alignment should be a given with all new :spyder2:'s purchased.

I do not feel that a customer should have to pay additional to get a brand new machine running according to specs.

I agree, but what should be and "is" are two different things.
 
Vegas is the closet laser alignment...not practical to take a 8 hour round trip.
If you can get a group together that wants alignments, they may be able to travel closer to you. Doesn't hurt to ask, they are traveling to Yuma AZ soon to help out a group there.
 
Agreed! You only just picked it up! Sounds like dealer responsibility to me.

$20000.00 plus for a 3-wheeled vehicle w/o a heater, radio, air conditioning, or even a roof ain't cheap. And the front isn't aligned?

A simple question here; a "C" series Mercedes Benz is probably comparable in price, vehicle to vehicle. Would you put up with the Benz dealer giving you a mis-aligned vehicle or even listining to him whine and make excuses? I think not.

Make th
Spyder dealer fix it!
 
Lou does my work in Riverside (I'm also in in LA).

But Lou doesn't have the Rolo Laser Alignment system. Which is the one endorsed by BRP as the correct way for dealers to align Spyders. That is the system that we, Squared Away, uses.

We would be happy to align GunDoctor here in Las Vegas or if you can get 8 to 10 Spyders together in the LA area we would be happy to come to you. If you host the event your alignment would be free.
 
Touchy subject. I knew that an alignment sponsor or two would be jumping in.

I have no problem with people earning a living, but a new machine should come out of the dealer according to specs. Why should a new purchaser have to cough up $120 - $150 just to make it right.

Hence my suggestion that a laser alignment should be performed by the selling dealer as a part of the prep package.
