• 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.

    Anyone tried to mount a Garmin XT to the windshield brackets?

    I would worry that the vibrations caused by the Garmin bouncing around while riding would break the windshield. Google found several different mounts for a Garmin on a 2018 F3, starting at about US $150.

    Does anyone know what this Unknown power connection is for? I'm after a keyed power source for a relay...

    The only user accessible power port I'm aware of is the one on the front right side next to the wheel, which you said you're already using. There are also USB ports you can use for power. The one in the glove box in front of the handle bars is also the connection for Apple Carplay. There's also...

    How do I get Turn by turn Audio directions with Apple CarPlay?

    I'm sorry I that I didn't explain it better. Playing music through the bike's speakers is supported, regardless of the source of the music, whether it's the bike's radio or a music app on your phone. Apple CarPlay navigation instructions are not supported through the bike's speakers, which...

    How do I get Turn by turn Audio directions with Apple CarPlay?

    The Apple CarPlay section on Page 50 of the 2026 Operator's Guide has this information: There are separate settings to have the radio play through the bike's speakers or through the headset.

    Ok, here we go... let's meet and eat in Kentucky!

    I live near Cookeville, TN so 1/2 way is about 2.5 hours, so about 6 hours for me to meet for lunch. Unfortunately I don't have that much time today, but pick a day farther in the future and I can adjust. :)

    NHTSA Campaign 26V575000 - 2025-2026 Spyder RT, F3, & Canyon freezing cluster fix issued

    Just finished the update. The download worked fine with just having the Spyder connected to the Battery Tender Jr, but when I got to the Install step, the button to start the install didn't work. Once I started the engine, the install started and completed. It did ask me to restart the Spyder...

    Anyone know the latest software version for a 24 RTL

    My 2024 Spyder RT has the ability to connect to a Wifi network and download updates to the bike. I don't know if the Spyder F3s have the same abilities. Check your Operators Guide.

    Going Down Memory Lane; Show Us Your First Motorbikes & Your Current Spyder

    My first bike was a 1982 Yamaha Seca XJ550 that I bought in 1984. Bright red, and yes, I had a red helmet. One of our friends group owned the local Yamaha shop and sold it to me for a very good price. Even though it was a 1982 model, it was brand new still in the crate. I sold it when I moved...

    I've been charged extra (over MSRP) for Panels - dealer says none are included! Is this correct?

    The problem with that sentence is the word "standard". According to the CAN-AM website the Ryker comes in black. Any panels of another color cost extra.
