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.

As far i can tell, throttle position module, just opens the gasvalve quicker, not gaining extra torque/ horsepower, but a tune via ECU, unleashes the horses in your motor.
I have no 1st hand experience with the throttleposition thingy, but I flashed my ecu by a Dutch Race specialist, who made a tune right on te ecu, and that makes a huge (read HUGE) difference.
Factory wise, the engine is not showing it's full potential..
Only my two cents, The tune, and a straightpipe with an akropovic endpipe, no cat, are my two motor mods, and man this thing goes, :spyder2: :2thumbs:use only premium fuel tho, as it's readily available here, in the netherlands

I have both. The PV3, with a custom made map, really woke up the machine. Also got a bit better mpg's to boot. The PC made the throttle input much more responsive. Best of both worlds. Picking one, I'd still go with the tune over the PC, as it increases overall performance.

Hello Troop, just curious, throttle control isn't that making the machine a bit nervous... I mean less throttlemovement by right hand, don't know the right words..
I just worrie, that taking off, with a pv, makes the spyder less uncontrollable
HAHAHA, i see, you drive the same spyder as myself, also 2019 F3S....

I use city mode the majority of time, with sport mode on occasion. Personally, I do find sport + too twitchy with the tune, for my tastes. Come spring, I might try loading the stock tune, and see how it feels in sport +

PC simply opens the electronic throttle further than you actually rotate it,but still only to fully open.We used to call these 1/4 turn throttles back in the old days.They make bike feel faster but ECM tune actually makes it go faster.I do feel that the Spyder throttle is a very slow opening part but I wouldnt pay a couple hundred bucks for something I can do by twisting my wrist further,JMO.

pv3 did not work for me It removed my stock map and left me dead in the water call dyno jet they said they can;t help me so they refund my money ,had to go to my spyder service store to reinstall the stock map cost $350.00. I would send it out to wick it to have it flashed they will stand behind there work
Had 1/4 turns on all my dirt bikes and ATV. Takes some getting used to because trouble happens fast. Trees brush and rocks are not forgiving by any means. Never had any 1/4 turns on my street machines. No ECU's in those days. Everything was direct-drive and easy and inexpensive to repair.
