• 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.

    2017 RT with Codes P0556 and P0504 - Any ideas?

    Check fuse F5. Also, check your brake lights. Both codes are related to the brake light switch.

    I fitted my Baldwin Iron Works Cat Delete Kit. She said what…?

    Every time you ride with her, keep going, "Vroom, Vroom". When she asks what you're doing, say you're pretending you already have the Stage 2...

    Cannot get firmware to update using BUDS3 - any help or suggestions appreciated?!

    Tried again today using the current version of BUDS3 (dated 15 Oct 2026) and a different usb data cable, (from an external hard drive). Still won't install. Here's 3 screen shots that show what I'm getting from BUDS3. Still, the flashing screen never moves from 0%. The glare from the lights is...

    2025 F3 - any other way to get software updates? Do I need to go to a dealer?

    What everyone above says. If you are having trouble getting wi-fi to connect, make sure your router has a 2.4Ghz wi-fi signal. The bike cannot connect to 5Ghz. Some wi-fi routers that broadcast both 2.4 and 5 can be very difficult for a 2.4 only system to connect to. If that's the case, try...

    Lifting the rear of RT swing arms with a modified HF MC lift - Wanted to share and get feedback.

    I'm not too sure of the practicality of this, but it IS a nice re-purpose for an unused jack! I would be tempted to drill a hole on each side, either in the bottom of the hitch, or the top of the jack, and install some form of a dowel pin in one or the other, to physically capture the bike to...

    Never thought I would say this, but... I'm thinking about returning to the world of two wheelers!

    Give yourself an unbiased, thorough, physical evaluation before you decide. Most of us can relate many stories where strangers came up to us and said they were no longer able to safely hold up a big two-wheeler and/or duck-walk it out of a parking space, and therefore were considering a 3...

    Cannot get firmware to update using BUDS3 - any help or suggestions appreciated?!

    Thank you for your reply, but no. This only applies to the first wi-fi "fix" for the console blanking out. This bike has got the correct firmware for the final fix that is the basis for the recall. Either way, I'm using BUDS3 to try to install what it says is another, optional update. I'll try...

    Cannot get firmware to update using BUDS3 - any help or suggestions appreciated?!

    Thanks for the suggestions about the usb cable. I haven't had the cable checked out yet, but it is the same cable that I've used to update the clusters on older Spyders when it was first required to use the usb port in addition to the diagnostic port.

    Thank you. I didn't think about checking error logs. Will get to that later today.

    Cannot get firmware to update using BUDS3 - any help or suggestions appreciated?!

    I'm trying to update the firmware on a 2025 RT S2S. BUDS3 says there is an available non-mandatory update for the VSS/ABS system. The screen shows that the file is present to be applied, but after checking all the pre-install boxes, the progress window that opens stays on 0% forever. Here's what...

    Has anyone found good Hand/Wind protectors for late model RT-L's? Any thoughts/suggestions?

    Yes, they changed the handlebars starting in the 2024 model year. Items made for previous years' won't work.

    Can BUDS (or anything) change the Throttle effort on a Spyder?

    https://www.monsterfuelinjection.com/ You may not be able to adjust the throttle response by yourself, but the new system they use and even the older MyGenius setup absolutely allows for future changes. The new Nano system that has replaced the MyGenius does allow some "on the fly" user...

    Question for experienced Spyder owners - New F3 vs Used?

    Since as of this writing, BRP has confirmed that they are not sending any Spyders and Canyons to the US market, I'd fully expect used bike prices to start climbing very soon.
