• 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.

    How Is A "Special" model different?

    yes, agreed - the F3 Limited SS (Special Series) has all the comfort extras for touring & special paint, but does NOT have Sport mode. The F3-S (in this case, S may stand for SPORT, not Special) DOES have Sport mode. It's meant to be the naked, sporty sibling in the F3 lineup. That's all I...

    How Is A "Special" model different?

    F3S (only) has sport mode; F3L SS (Limited Special Series) does not - it has the other things others have mentioned like unique paint, back rest, comfort seat, short reach bars, etc.

    Anyone else had a Tour pack alarm "Rear cargo open" on 2025 F-3 Limited? Any fixes?

    I had to adjust that switch once after closing the top case lid "too hard" which resulted in constant "rear cargo open" warning despite being closed. The switch is held in place with a single screw which allows for it to shift out of position. I just repositioned it and tightened the screw -...

    2024 F3 Ltd to 2026 F3 Ltd comparison - any Changes/Differences?

    yes sorry, you're correct. F3L adds topcase/passenger backrest, floorboards, & heated grips (over F3T). Doesn't include backup camera & fog lights (and other addons) as standard like F3LSS. But camera can be added as option for 2025 onward (more easily than 2024?). And it looks like fog...

    2024 F3 Ltd to 2026 F3 Ltd comparison - any Changes/Differences?

    I believe the only difference is 2025/26 added rear backup camera and 2026 added fog lights.

    Any Modification recommendations from those who tour on their Spyders?

    for the high-mount brake light - consider both the plug & play flasher for the topcase light (that you already found from SlingMods/Lamonster) and/or adding a BrakeFree light (https://www.brakefreetech.com/) to your helmets.

    Peacekeeper6 Mod Thread

    I have this - wholeheartedly agree. Do the test fit to make sure it's where you want it & doesn't interfere with vents, shield/modular moving parts, etc. But a relatively low-cost but easy to use safety item to help make sure you're seen out there on the road. Big thumbs up! I stated in...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Hit 55 after lunch today so rode 73mi up to Saint Francis & back with the wife. Had snow fall Friday night... Some rain forecast for this coming week - hope we're done with the snow for the year tho.

    Thanks for all you've done for the board and Spyders in general! All the best to you and your family. (Lurking & learning things from) this board was the deciding factor for me to finally pull the trigger and get my Spyder I've been wanting to get since the day CanAm first announced Spyders...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Congrats! I've been ryding every day since last week Sun - I couldn't wait any longer to get time on the road when it's not too gross (the salty roads - I don't mind the cold/not too different than snowmobiling). I'm up in Maple Grove... I just ran up to St. Francis & back yesterday and passed...

    Android Auto (wireless) for 2024 and up Spyders now available and working

    Good point. I don't have AA working right now (thanks CanAm) and I run off the app on my phone handlebar mount, so not a deal breaker at this time. But yes, if I were to get AA working, I'd need to switch up to something else. thx

    Android Auto (wireless) for 2024 and up Spyders now available and working

    If you're using a paid subscription/app to bypass Google maps limitations, Rever lets you create routes with waypoints (online or in their phone app) that you can then follow on your phone using their app. And you can export GPX files. Just putting that out there as another option. Free...

    Anyone else been having trouble with the FOBO Bike 2 website not working?

    FYI at least for Android they recently (in the last week or two?) released a new version of their app and renamed it FOBO TPMS. The old app has been obsoleted...
