Spyder Number Three

[Geosik]

We just returned from Upstate New York to our home in Culpeper, Va with my brand new Black Satin F3T. I had the dealer install the Top Case, Auxiliary Lights and Signature Light



We rode home yesterday, 500 plus miles and the first 300 was in in light to moderately heavy rain. The F3 handled superbly as did the wife's 2015 RT-S.

I have many question for F3 owners that I will be asking but first an observation on the handling of the F3.

With our 2013 RTL and our 2015 RTS we installed the BajaRon Sway Bar and had a laser alignment done and used JT'S Dual Fill to overcome the "squirrelly" handling of these Spyders. I found my F3T to track straight and true right out of the dealers door I had none of "squirrelyyness" of the RTs and this was over 500 miles of rain high winds and lots of tractor trailer backwash, is this common to all F3s or do I have an exceptional one?

Oh by the way we did not keep the 3013 RTL my son has acquired it.

:congrats: on the new F3. I cannot give any good advice there, have only owned and ridden GS/RS/RT's.

Luv satin. I may dip mine a satin pearl orange and yellow like the rear quarter on the thumbnail..

I can relate as I am also on my third Spyder. My 2012 RTL was good but needed the sway bar. The 2014 was prone to wander, no matter what I did via new Federal tires, changing air pressures and adding the sway bar. I find the 2017 F3T to be nearly perfect! It tracks very true down the road and requires very little steering input to move it around. I don't have a swaybar plan yet and may go without changing it out. This is by far the best Spyder I have owned, and will possibly be my 'retirement' bike.
