• 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.

    Contemplating buying a Spyder - any reliability, power, and buyer's remorse issues?

    I think that particular Spyder is off my list now... there are too many newer ones available at decent prices...

    Contemplating buying a Spyder - any reliability, power, and buyer's remorse issues?

    The seller said he's had both the front sprocket, and output shaft recalls done. Those are the only two recalls for that model year that I'm aware of...

    Kenda tires - I truly don't understand the hateful responses to Kenda tires. I have over 22,000 km on mine and they're only 50% worn.

    Could price have something to do with it? I think I read somewhere the Kendas are more expensive than the car tires some have been going to, and they don't last as long. I've also read that car tires to replace the front Kendas are difficult, if not impossible to find in the correct size. Is...

    So what was the last year of RT's with the big rear end, and the first year they had the same trunk as the F3L?

    ...the RT models that had the ass end that looked like a female rhino presenting, and the first year that had the same trunk as the F3L?

    Contemplating buying a Spyder - any reliability, power, and buyer's remorse issues?

    I've read many times where people recommend staying away from super low mileage vehicles. I don't think that automatically disqualifies a vehicle. If the owner can produce the maintenance records, and those appear to have kept the vehicle in good shape mechanically, and the vehicle doesn't...

    Contemplating buying a Spyder - any reliability, power, and buyer's remorse issues?

    Thanks for the input. That's the kind of info I need. FWIW, I've experienced the zig zagging down the road on every Spyder I've ridden. I don't think there's anything wrong with this one's steering/alignment... it's just that I'm oversteering it...

    Contemplating buying a Spyder - any reliability, power, and buyer's remorse issues?

    No, but I did take another one for a ride. Some guy is selling a '17 F3 Limited. It's had both the front sprocket, and output shaft recalls done, and it only has 5200 miles on it. It's still like brand new. It's black with the chrome package. Beautiful trike! I like the analog gauges on the...

    F3 LTD owners - how do you run wires fm dash top compartment to h/bars?

    The USB cable doesn't keep the phone charged? That doesn't make any sense. The USB connection on my Gold Wing serves as both a way to connect my phone to my bike, and it keeps the phone charged at the same time. I would've thought the USB connection on the Spyder would do the same thing...

    F3 owners - how does the rider's backrest mount?

    I've notice that some F3s I've looked at have a riders backrest installed, and some don't. Most of these backrests, at least on two wheeled bikes anyway, have a slot in the rear portion of the seat for the bar the pad is mounted to. In pics of the F3, it looks like this bar just slides between...

    F3 LTD owners - how do you run wires fm dash top compartment to h/bars?

    This is about the compartment on top of the dash, directly below the windshield. Having USB ports, I'm assuming this compartment is for your phone. However, I don't see any spot to run the cable through if you want to mount your phone on the handlebars, and you can't close the lid with the cable...

    Does a recall stay with the machine regardless of who owns it?

    Thanks guys!

    Does a recall stay with the machine regardless of who owns it?

    In reference to the output shaft recall, this would affect my decision, as I'm looking to buy from the same year range. I've always understood that a recall is for safety issues, therefore it stays with the machine. If it does, this won't affect my decision one bit...
