• 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.

    My unscientific noise study

    Nothing is simple anymore. If it ever was! But soon we won't have to think or work. AI is going to do everything for us! Which makes me wonder what use there might be for the human race at some point.

    My unscientific noise study

    Sound is actually quite complicated. There are multiple ways to measure it (all in db's) depending on the aspect you are wanting data for. Sound Energy is the standard hearing safety measurement. Presumably because this is the aspect that can damage hearing. On this scale, each 3db increase...

    My unscientific noise study

    A very worthy subject. I've had riders tell me that their hearing is shot so they don't need plugs. My hearing is diminished, but it isn't shot. Still, I have discovered that 'No matter how bad it is now, it can always get worse'. When I forget ear protection, I'm alway sorry for it. I've got...

    2026 S2S transmission failure - Anyone else having similar issues?

    Having had these early oil changes makes this even more interesting. However, changing the oil isn't going to remove contaminants already floating around in the HCM system. But changing out the solenoids (at the same time) should have resolved that. As for the 'Non-Start'. I'd say your Spyder...

    My F3S tire is showing wear after only 2000 miles.

    You are very fortunate. But as Peter warns, this can end quite abruptly if the wrong people find out. It is also important to note WHICH car tires they decide to carry. There is a BIG difference between the good ones and the rest.

    2026 S2S transmission failure - Anyone else having similar issues?

    A slipping clutch is just one way to get poor fuel mileage. With the codes you've got, a slipping clutch could just be a minor symptom of the sudden 'Neutral' issue you're having. The HCM system is extremely sensitive to any contaminants in the oil. With only 1,000 miles so far, I'd say the...

    2026 S2S transmission failure - Anyone else having similar issues?

    I was going to post what jcthorne said until I read his reply. There is no way for the transmission in the Spyder to go from 6th to neutral in one step. It can only do that from 1st or Reverse. It must be a clutch issue. If it is releasing completely there may not be any damage to the friction...

    Is this DESS battery drain normal?

    Or, you can just put it on a good tender when not in use for extended periods of time.

    Lighting project started... 3 days ago! Anyone had any voltage issues with TricLED lights?

    Light kits can be a tough DIY. Sorry to hear that so much went wrong. We'd be happy to help but we are a long way from Texas...

    My F3S tire is showing wear after only 2000 miles.

    No, I do not know of any who do. And most will not mount a car tire. You'll probably have to go outside of the dealer system to get this done. But you can ask and see. We need to know what pressure you are running in that rear tire. The correct tire pressure will not cure the problem, but it...

    Can I Gut my cat? Has anyone else done this?

    The title sounds a bit cruel! On the earlier models, the cat was in the muffler. I removed mine long ago and installed a Yoshumura muffler (after trying several others). I am quite happy with the results. Gutting the cat should give you about the same results. I would give it a try. I'm sure it...

    I've been Riding with two nuts! Does the wheel rotation tend to undo a lug nut if it's loose?

    We had a problem and found that our torque wrench had fallen out of calibration.

    Should I roll off the Throttle when upshifting, or maintain the position? What are the best RPM's?

    BRP's approach to feature function and user access to product potential... You have to have been around for a while to recognize this one.

    Catastrophic Damage at 2026 D3WR - any suggestions on transporters to ship an F3 home to NC?

    I just thought it might be good to put transport money towards the solution instead of just moving the bike around. I think you'll be spending at least $1,000.00 with nothing really being done at all. Though I suppose it would negate the cost of going back out to get it once it was done. I know...

    Catastrophic Damage at 2026 D3WR - any suggestions on transporters to ship an F3 home to NC?

    Have you considered an engine swap? There are good used engines available and a swap would save a ton on labor. There would also be value in selling the replaced engine for parts.
