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?
Yes, I had a 2018 F3L and the sprocket was changed 3 different times and now on my 2023 F3L. I agree about covering it if out of warranty, it should NOT be an issue and it IS a safety issue. Maybe NHTSA needs involved, but better yet, BRP NEEDS TO FIX THIS! Thank you, it is harder for me to make...- PURPLE ON THREE

2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?
I think that's great you have a safety inspection! Well, my dealer felt bad about this for sure. This happened April 8 and he put on a new rear tire April 7, also new rear brakes. I did not ask him to check the whole Spyder because he squoze me in for the tire and brakes. We have inspections...- PURPLE ON THREE

Check out this Rock on the road!
What a bummer! A few years ago, I hit a 4 inch rock on the road...one of those country roads where the sunshine and shade can play tricks with your eyes...blew out my sidewall on my left front tire.- PURPLE ON THREE

2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?
Well, I know the output shaft on my 2018 was fine, even though I had three sprockets replaced. What we are finding out with the 2023 is poor metal hardness of the sprocket leading to poor fitness of the splines of the output shaft and the sprocket. With the poor metal hardness of the sprocket...- PURPLE ON THREE

2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?
Lol, traffic and sun screen! Well, it's going to be warm here in Florida this week so we already need the sunscreen, but I'm not complaining! I was happy to not have to ride in heated gear on Saturday to get down here! I understand what you're saying about the root cause... I just wonder what...- PURPLE ON THREE

Snowbelt, on my 2018, Ryan at Hanover changed the previous sprockets when he spotted that "red dust of death"...one time I had only traveled another 8,000 miles and it was time to change it again...- PURPLE ON THREE

2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?
Deanna, I'm glad you have had no issues! How many miles do you have on yours now? 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...- PURPLE ON THREE

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...- PURPLE ON THREE

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...- PURPLE ON THREE

2023 F3L SES Front Sprocket BUSTED! Has anyone else with a "newer" Spyder had a sprocket issue?
FINAL UPDATE: So....after we made our way back to Charlotte from Florida (we spent way too many days in Charlotte on this trip, lol) turns out the output shaft is fine! (My service technician in PA said it WOULD be!) BRP asked for some measurements and everything was as it should be so NO NEW...- PURPLE ON THREE
