• 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.

    After hearing so much hoopla, I finally tried Buc-ee's! Never Again!

    When I get gas and the pump doesn't print my receipt, I leave my vehicle there and go inside to get it. I also take care of whatever business I need to at the same time. If it does print, I move to a parking space before going inside.

    What power outlet & fuse do you use for heated clothing?

    I have a direct line (with an inline fuse) to my battery for my heated gear. I also use it for my battery tender. -

    2016 F3T Limited for sale in a while - what is a fair price? Any ideas?

    You may want to check and see if it's an F3 Limited or an F3T. There's no such thing as an F3T Limited. The Limited has quite a bit of chrome. The T has foot pegs vs floorboards on the Limited.

    Your Spyder Vendors/Sponsors

    Some of the vendors that were still on had closed their doors quite a while ago. I always wondered why they were still advertising.

    What have you done for Heated Gear Wiring, inc Location - '20+ RT's?

    On my 2020 RT Limited, I mounted a power plug and ran it straight to the battery. Not only does it power my heated gear, but I also plug my battery tender in to it.

    Anyone interested in renting out their RT near Cincinnati?

    Good luck with that. Renting out ones Spyder is not very popular here on Spyderlovers. I know for me; I would never even consider it. I'm sure others will chime in and let you know their thoughts. With a crashed 2012, you'd be far better off taking the insurance money and buying a newer model.

    Trying to decide between this 2019 RT Ltd or a 2024 year/model - advice?

    If you're looking at a '19, you're far better off bumping it up at least one year and get a '20 or newer. The 2020 RT was totally redesigned and it's a much more comfortable riding position. It's the same engine and transmission as the '19, there's just more creature comforts. You won't be sorry.

    Any problems connecting GPS direct to battery?

    Just know that hooking up to your "customer accessory circuit" is far easier and faster than an oil change. It's so easy a caveman can do it.

    2024 RT Trailer Hitch Harness on back-order - any work arounds?

    Just be aware that lots of things changed on the 2024 Spyders. The wiring harness might be one of those changes. Do your homework before you buy.

    Ridenow Powersports Jacksonville will not service - any bike shops that will?

    New 2023 F3-S solo, but has foot pegs - what options to make it 2-up?

    According to BRP, the F3, F3S and F3T are designed for one-up riding. You can outfit them for two-up, but there's a lot you need to do.

    How do I put my RT Ltd into Neutral and shut off parking brake alarm?

    Whenever my Spyder is parked in my garage, it's in neutral and the parking brake is always off. My key stays with it, too. I also use a plastic wheel chock to be safe. I don't think twice about the 20 seconds of beeping.

    Chrome or Blacked-out - am I the only one who likes Chrome??

    I'm a chrome guy, too. I have the "Dark" 2020 RTL and added a little. When I bought mine, I didn't like the chrome wheels, so I just improvised.
