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.

I have a 2017 F3 Limited and it does not have a Schraeder valve. But I do believe that the F3 and maybe the F3S does have the Schraeder valve because they don't have the automatic leveling feature that the F3 Limited does. You have to manually add air to suit your comfort level.

If yours adjusts automatically, then it will not have the manual adjust feature (Schraeder Valve). One reason that everyone should always be sure any advice given is applicable to their particular machine. There are many versions within the same model and year. Not to mention major differences over the span of Spyder production.

I was going to ask what a Schraeder valve was? But if it's the bladder under the seat, that's where you will easily find it.

A Schraeder valve is that funny little threaded thingy sticking out of every tire you own, nealperkins. You remove its cap and add air to inflate your tires.

Since Troop and I both have auto levelling on our ‘21 and ‘22 RT Ltd, Ron... does that mean it is only the later F3 models that don’t have the Schraeder? ...or is the installation of the Schraeder left to the dealer assembler’s discretion? I have seen several instances where riders with the same year and model have posted that one HAS the Schraeder, while the other one doesn’t. Very odd.

Yes, but self levelling suspension is obviously NOT the deciding factor as to whether you get a Schraeder, Redbeard, since the ‘20+ RTs have self levelling suspension AND a Schraeder valve.

The manual for my F3 says that a 2023 F3 Limited does not have a Schrader valve under the seat since it has a compressor that auto levels the machine.
With that said, there's a table of sorts that tells gives you the PSI spec that you should air up the valve to, there's even one under the passenger seat. Ok then...

Have I read that right, Albec? You have a Schraeder valve under the seat of your ‘23 F3 Limited, but your manual says you don’t have one? There goes my theory that BRP have left them off the ‘20+ F3-L, but still include them on the ‘20+ RT-L :gaah:
The plot thickens :dontknow:

No, that's not what I said. The manual says that the Limited does not have the valve but gives the pressure spec for some reason, it's also under the passenger seat in a table. I've looked under the passenger seat and I do not find a valve on my Spyder.
At least I don't think that what I found is a valve. There is a weird looking connector though with what could be a very thin air line. One end of the line goes down towards the front of the machine while the other end goes to the back someplace.
I didn't disconnect the thing, but I'm tempted just to see what's what with it. Looking closer, that does appear to be a valve. What say yous?

I checked with canamoemparts.com - they list part # 706002797 on every Spyder and Ryker made from 2010 to present ..... Mike :thumbup: ....
Ps: they don't label it as a Schraeder valve tho.
