• 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.

    Rebuild a DPS

    Thanks for your reply, I’ll keep mine to remind me to keep battery charged and terminals clean and someday I’ll make a boat anchor out of it. In closing did it come off the space shuttle?

    Rebuild a DPS

    Was looking at another Spyder site and asked about DPS unit failure, was schooled on post of DPS do not fail or not mentionable enough. All I was looking for was are the units rebuildable. With the failure rate since release someone a lot wiser than me has cracked one open. I have one I...

    Check DPS

    Replaced one last month My wife’s 2011 RT/S DPS died last month. One week and $1800.00 cured the failed unit but I like a lot of you wonder if the unit was defective when new. My dealer stated the unit was not one involved in a recall, but I was always suspected it was failing. I came home...

    DPS failure

    Since I’m bombing BPR regarding F3 Clutch Assist on the F3 forum I thought I’d throw out the question of how many 2011 RTs have had their DPS replaced. I also have, the wife has, a 2011 DPS replaced this spring with a little over 11,000 miles. While on the phone with a dealers parts manager...

    F3 Clutch Assist Buyer Beware

    Clutch Assist video i suspect the movie was produced by BRP to illustrate the difficulty of the installation to defer anyone else from attempting installation consequently sending you to their dealer for a quick buck. Just the mounting of the module is a nightmare. I got it done and it works...

    F3 Clutch Assist Buyer Beware

    The continuing story has an ending, the clutch assist for the SM6 F3 works. With the motor running the pull on the stiff clutch is reduced, but buyer beware as the hard to get BRP instructions are difficult to follow and poorly illustrated. It’s clearly known that BRP doesn’t support owner...

    F3 Clutch Assist kit 122791 Check Valve

    Well it’s late in the afternoon and I’m tired, I pulled the defective check value and replaced it with a automotive vac connector. Now the hose from the air box to the clutch assist value is one hose without a check valve. Upon startup it has run fine without out the check valve and throwing a...

    F3 Clutch Assist kit 122791 Check Valve

    Upon installation of kit F3 threw a P O 106 code. ( vac issue). Upon closer exam the check value although installed correctly arrow up, the valve air flow was restricted. My wife said my face was as red as my shirt from blowing into valve. I’m thinking as it pulls vac from the air box from the...

    Mirror shell fell off

    Clutch Assist kit 122791 Installed the clutch assist kit on my 2015 F3 S over the weekend and I have to share several observations with Spyder Lovers. After ordering the kits it was difficult to obtain the colored instructions and if wasn’t for Bruce B I wouldn’t been able to get my arthritis...

    Bad Key

    Saw it yesterday saw it yesterday, rotated key several times and it finally cleared. I'm 700 miles from my dealer in the mountains of NC. Hoping it won't show up again. If it does I'll have to park it.
