• 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.

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

    I am sure there are good techs out there with integrity, though I also know dealerships put pressure on them in some cases, as 'Time is Money'! I just wish everyone had the high standards I expect. In my opinion, a high standard should BE the standard. But you can wish in one hand and... well...

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

    I hate to be this way. But there is a reason for it. They charge you for a very long checklist. But I have my misgivings as to how much they actually do. Just me and nothing more than my questionable opinion. But there it is... Still, I know they've got you. Because you need to do it to keep...

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

    This is a very sad story for a great guy. But as always, we have to play the cards we are dealt or fold the hand and walk away. There are so many angles to this, it's hard to know which way to go. That is what everyone understands. Trying to choose the best of several bad choices is no fun. I’d...

    2011 RT Ltd - left controller dead - anyone else had this happen? Any ideas/fixes? What causes it?

    Snowbelt gives some very good advice. Try the horn button to start. If it works, that will be valuable information. It could be your ECM is having issues, or downstream in your wiring loom. Have you checked for a rats nest or rodent issues?

    Interesting oil test report. What say you?

    I agree that this may be the cause and not the oil. I'd have to ride it to be sure. It can feel similar. But they tend to be sligtly different. It takes a fairly long time for the oil to warm much at all. Must less get to operating temperature. Whereas a fuel mixture cause will usually resolve...

    Can I spin balance with Ride On installed? What’s proper F3 belt tension?

    You can remove the Ride-0n by dismounting the tire and just scooping it out. But, as mentioned above, if your tire is not round, quite common with the OEM Kenda's, then you will never be able to balance it. If the bike has been sitting for a while, then you have to ride it for a few miles to...

    Are 165/60/15 Vredstein's the correct front tire for a 2023 RT-L?

    Not sure if this applies. But do not offer information on where you are going to mount these tires or Tire Rack will not sell them to you.

    Does a Lithium Battery work in a 2008 GS? What Lithium Battery did you use?

    Of course, a lithium battery will work on your Spyder. Just get a good one. There are several out there that do a fine job.

    After Honest Feedback on BajaRon's Ultra Sway Bar for a 2021 F3-S (300lbs solo rider)?

    I have several customers who tell me that they started going faster after the upgrade and didn't realize it until their riding buddies could no longer keep up. Faster can actually seem slower with the right suspension. It does feel good.

    Betwixt and Bewildered - how do I get the codes off 2008 GS?

    CopperSpyder gives a good place to start. With more information, a more precise answer may be possible. BUDS would be an excellent place to start. Even if a shop won't work on your Spyder, they should be willing to hook it up to BUDS.

    My 2011 RSS is Running Rich, but I can't open the older threads on this!? Any ideas?

    Be sure to let us know what you find.

    My 2011 RSS is Running Rich, but I can't open the older threads on this!? Any ideas?

    Well, Lamont & I joined forces long before he built this website. We've been like family for a very long time. It's difficult to diagnose over the Internet. But I would start with the 2 small vacuum hoses on the left side of the throttle body. If they have not been replaced, they can give you...

    Mysterious drive belt adjustment change

    Most recalls seemed to do OK with this lack of cure time. With the time and mileage you've got, I'd say you're safe, though it's never a bad idea to take a look now and then for the Red Dust of Death! On the other hand, we had a few customers who had the recall done, some with no evidence of a...

    Yes, especially if they did not let the repair cure for 24 hours.
