• 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.

    2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?

    Thank you so much! TommyG is talking to our #1 dealer/mechanic from Hanover right now and he is saying the same thing as you about the Loctite. He says once it gets hot, it's going to cure. And we have a picture of the sprocket...it is not one of the old black ones. And we have pictures of it...

    Deanna, I'm glad you have had no issues! How many miles do you have on yours now?

    2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?

    Thank you for sharing that... Gosh, I hate to be the guinea pig sometimes. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. So here's a question, could it be possible that there was an "old style" sprocket installed? I hope I get to see the sprocket and I know my dealer/mechanic in Hanover, PA would like...

    2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?

    The sprocket on my 2023 was never replaced - there was no recall on that model year. It's OEM. It should not be an issue. BRP put it together at the factory. I was referring to the older model Spyders (like my 2018 that had so many sprocket issues). I'm disappointed to have to deal with this...

    2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?

    Cannot believe this is an issue after the recall on the older models! I had my front sprocket replaced three times on my 2018 F3 and then BRP did the recall. My dealer/mechanic was always ahead of the game and I never broke down with a bad sprocket... until yesterday on I-485 Charlotte! What a...

    New Old guy - introducing myself and my 2015 F3S!

    Welcome from Shippenville, PA, neighbor! That's a great looking F3... congratulations! I had a CAT delete on my 2018 with Lamont's S pipe and baffles. Rode it 50,000 miles that way and the baffle needed replacing by that time. I sold that F3 in 2024 and I now have a 2023 F3L SES with the OEM...

    Gas cap won’t unlock - any suggestions to help?

    I had issues on my 2018 F3. Used PB blaster, but it never lasted. Someone suggested graphite powder, so I used that once and never had to use it again. Are you able to get the key into the lock now? If so, you could try and get some graphite powder in. Before the graphite powder, I thought I...

    Do you know of any other Spyder/Ryker/Canyon YouTube channels?

    I know this channel - Purple On Three - her channel is predominantly about Spyders, specifically the F3, but she also shows a Harley from time to time, lol. Thank you so much for the mention. I rode in Europe last year for the first time and loved it! Another one I've thought of - Shockwave...

    A small Safety Mod to our 2022 RTL with a big improvement!

    Thank you. I'm happy to help other folks and are grateful to have you share this with me... what a difference the buttons have made!! Happy New Year!

    Probably a stupid idea - thinking I might go from a 2018 F3 Ltd to an RTL S2S - am I crazy and should just keep what I have?

    When I sold my 2018 F3L last year with 79,000 miles on it, my dealer was not even interested in it... I sold it outright privately.
