• 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.

    Struggling to find anyone in Indiana to Service a 2009 Spyder V-Twin - any thoughts?

    The biggest issue with working on older bikes is sourcing parts, like an Engine Control Module. Simple things like oil changes, tire replacement, changing spark plugs, etc are not a problem. If the tech, after several hours trying find the problem, discovers that the part that failed is no...

    What just happened? Two weeks old: Engine shut down, VSS Error.

    Graderman, I had the same battery in my 2021 F3-T. I went through 2 of them. The original failed and the dealer replaced it under warranty. When the second one failed, I put in a Yuasa battery and have had no issues after that. Before I took delivery on my 2025, I had them check the battery. I...

    Apple Carplay - the good, the bad, and the really ugly

    The Can Am radio is really picky. You have to have what it considers to be the correct cable. I have a friend who has found that a GoPro cable works best for him. You also need to make sure that the USB female port is clean. He uses this before he plugs in the cable. The tight or ultra tight...

    Fitted some Farkles on my 2025 F3

    I love them. The big plus for me was they will mount regardless of where the brake pedal and foot pegs are located. If I should want to move the brake pedal and foot pegs to a different position I can do that. Some of the other brands, you order them for the position where you currently have the...

    Does a 2025 F3-T come with Heated Passenger Grips already installed?

    Well I had Lamonster driving lights installed yesterday and had the tech check to see if the factory had installed heated grips. Unfortunately they did not. All the wiring is there, even up to the handlebar. The only things need to install heated grips are the grips and the switch.

    Not having any luck finding a Trailer Hitch for my F3 S SM6

    LarryC, have you thought about saddlebags? I have an F3-T and I can pack enough clothes for a week long trip in the saddlebags. Viking Bags have several that fit the F3-S. They come with mounting hardware and might be a little cheaper than a trailer...

    Apple CarPlay update - what is the secret to getting it working properly??

    Darth, the problem you are having sounds exactly like what Shawn Smoak discovered while working on a customers bike that was having problems with Apple CarPlay. He found that if you have VPN (Virtual Private Network) enabled it messes up the connection between the bike and the phone. When he...

    Does a 2025 F3-T come with Heated Passenger Grips already installed?

    Peter, that is what I am hoping. I just ordered a set of driving lights from Lamonster. The wiring is there for both the driving lights and the heated grips. I'm going to ask the mechanic if he can hook a switch up the wiring for the grips and see if they heat up.

    Traded my F3 for a 2025 F3T

    @spyderladyf3, I have a 2025 F3-T also. I did same thing you did. I traded in my 2021. I wanted the larger dash screen and the backup camera. I am loving mine too. A couple of things I have noticed: First, it seems a little quicker than the '21; and Second, it seems quite a bit quieter. I have...

    Does a 2025 F3-T come with Heated Passenger Grips already installed?

    The question I am asking is, on the 2025 did BRP install heated handlebar grips at the factory. I know that BRP installed the wiring for the rear view camera and for the rear top box. On my F3-T it appears that they installed heated passenger grips. It is not an easy job to install the OEM...

    Does a 2025 F3-T come with Heated Passenger Grips already installed?

    I just installed a luggage rack on my 2025 F3-T. While doing it I discovered that the passenger grip handles have a wire attached to each which makes me think that they may be heated. There is not a power switch for them. My dealer is going to check it out, but this is their busy time of the...
