WOT=acceleration=exhilaration, have to pull a couple of gears at WOT every ride to see if the Spyder is alive and well and the driver is alert. Not in traffic, only on the highway when it is safer to...
I haven't owned my Spyder long enough to have any history on the nylon gears but I do know that they were used by GM in some of the car engines (cam shaft sprocket - metal hub with a nylon running...
I doubt that it being lent to a "training school" on a closed course would have any adverse effect.
The cause of the rattle should be evident as others have stated once they take the belt cover...
I didn't have to, as the OEM was replaced under warranty late last fall. The LiFePo4 have a much lower discharge rate from my research and prefers to be stored at less than full charge, so you...
I did my new 22 F3S first service at about 2000 miles and was reminded by the dealer service writer several times that it was not required until later. It was last October and I wanted some fresh oil...
22 F3S
Open the frunk, remove the 4 push pins (one at each corner), remove the trim piece that covers the latch by pulling up at each corner to pull out the pins from the rubber grommets, pull...
You can trim the top bracket so that it drops down and secures the battery or you can use some small styrofoam spacers cut to size one on each side and pressed down into place. The top bracket does...
Maybe, just maybe there was toooo much instruction going on? Has she been a licensed vehicle driver for years or is she just learning to drive?
My suggestion is the same as the others, find and...
Thanks for posting the analysis, it is difficult to read but the comments in the upper part is where they talk about the oxidation number and not the TBN (total base number) which usually indicates...
I have removed the two up seat and footrests but have left the hand holds and shad brackets on in case I go for a several day ride. The hand hold brackets can be used for lashing something down over...
IMO: Anyone who plays on the highway when there is traffic is going to come to a sudden unplanned stop because you can't predict what other drivers will do. The total disregard for the other drivers...
I hope the EV Spyders are a long time coming and I won't own one, but the debate will switch to what size charger should I be using and what is the better battery and there are always tires and oil!
If the oil only had 200 miles on it when you tested it and it showed oxidation at 37 I would tend to question the accuracy of that test?
If the oil had 9000m on it when tested and it was changed...
I was searching the internet for local suppliers and came across this one:
https://www.ablithium.ca/product/13-2v-13-2ah-700cca-lifepo4-starter-battery-utvs-boats/
its rated at 12ah but has a...
I've owned my F3S for about 9 months now and use the kill switch to stop the engine so I am very aware of its location and other than using cruise control I don't multitask when driving the F3S.

I purchased my 22 F3S last June, it had the 2nd seat on it and I got the lockable storage replacement handed to me after the sale as it was included with the bike. That is why your bike already had...
Thanks for the replies, I just wanted to post what a difference the adjustment to ride height did for other folks that may be experiencing a wandering Spyder like I did. I have a Baja Ron sway bar,...
Cheapest and easiest is USPS, its slowest as well but no surprise fees like UPS.
Your battery is probably covered under warranty but get get it load checked asap. Mine was made in China and would flash a VSS code at every start even after putting a charger on it. It was replaced...
My Spyder is a 22 F3S that I purchased new from the dealer in June 2023. From the time I first rode it on the highway I was uncomfortable with the wandering in the lane and what I felt was skittish...
I purchased the Elka Stage 2 package after sending an inquiry to Elka and John (the same guy from the Lamonster garage video) called to see what my needs were. After a short discussion (my prime...
The weather was nice on Monday so I took the LS2 helmet for a 100 mile/160 km. highway trip, windy with temp ranging from 60-65 F (15-18C). The helmet was comfortable with better peripheral vision...
Is the BRP coolant you are using premixed 50 glycol and 50% water? If not 100% glycol does not cool as well? You may have some air trapped in the system? Did you check the level in the bottle after...
Well Peter there are no guarantees, I bought a new 22 F3S late last summer and have not had it back except to do its first service last fall and install the handwarmers which were part of the deal. ...
Thanks but do you think anyone actually reads the service manual before they start the job?
As Bert mentioned the LifePO4 batteries are more suited to car and Spyder battery charging systems and can be found at different suppliers in Canada. The sledders have been using the EarthX battery...
I just received my new LS2 Advent X modular helmet and decided to compare it to my 2 year old 509 Delta Ignite full face helmet which is more suited to cold weather(winter) riding.
LS2 257 Modular...
The 2023 will have some minor tech improvements and for my money it's my choice, but since it's your money, you get to decide. Good luck with the one you choose.
I have a bottle but have never used it for the same reason you state.
Good info James, I placed an order for the LS2 - Advant X Modular Helmet here in Canada and paid almost twice what you did (CAD$). I am not sure they are the same helmet and mine hasn't been shipped...
