• 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.

    It Burps!! Lamonster's IPS Fuel Cap Assembly

    I have also had the IPS cap for two years and it doesn’t burp. Could be a fuel canister issue.

    Fuel stabilizer comparison test

    I ride year round since I live in the SE. But I always use 100% gas locally. If I am on a long distance trip I only use 10% ethanol if I have no other choice. Since I ride infrequently from about November to May I never use fuel stabilizer. Never had a problem starting my Spyder or water in...

    Anyone got a good source for a 2012 RS license plate lens housing?

    Custom Dynamics used to sell a replacement lens for $20. But they don’t carry the part anymore. After I lost two lenses I put a screw in each side of the lens to hold it to the mount. I haven’t had a problem since.

    Increasing Visibility?

    My fog lights are on any time I ride my Spyder. The more light, the easier to be seen IMO.

    Favorite ride close to home

    I live in the southwestern tip of NC. Within 45 minutes of me is the famous Dragon, the Cherohala Skyway, and “moonshine” Hwy 28. We are known for fantastic motorcycle roads in western NC, north GA, and eastern TN.

    F3 sprocket question - which lube/paste is best when re-fitting?

    The sprocket that Dan had replaced at 4482 miles was the factory original on his 2019 F3-S. I had to have my third replacement sprocket at less than 5000 miles. My original sprocket lasted 17,000 miles. I do not understand why BRP cannot come up with a PERMANENT fix for this. And this...

    Dealer/mechanics in east tenn

    I had them replace a rusted front pulley two years ago and thought that all was well. Got home and took the cover off and discovered they had put the pulley on backwards! Went to another dealer in SC to get it corrected. Am hesitant to use them again. I even sent a letter to East TN ATV...

    F3 sprocket question - which lube/paste is best when re-fitting?

    Yes, but my previous sprocket was applied with Kluberpaste and it lasted less than 5000 miles. The dealer that replaced it yesterday used Loctite 660. So it seems that different dealers are using different products to stop the fretting. I can’t see how using Loctite would void my warranty if...

    F3 sprocket question - which lube/paste is best when re-fitting?

    I just had my front sprocket replaced today for the 3rd time on my 2015. The second sprocket only lasted for about 5000 miles. The dealer that replaced my 2nd sprocket used Kluberpaste 46 MR 401. The different dealer that I used today used Loctite 660. I researched both products on the...

    Check the fuse that goes from your base to the battery and check the base negative and positive wires to the battery.

    Shad bags - is there a cleaner to make them shine?

    I had installed Shad bags on my F3-S almost 5 years ago. I love them but can't seem to find a product that will make the plastic shine. I have tried numerous products but the surface still stays dull. It is even hard to remove scuff marks. Has anyone found a cleaner or a wax that will make...

    Need electrical experts

    I just received a call from the dealer and they found the problem. A wire from the accessory switch that controls the fog lights was rubbing against the frame when I turned the handlebars to the right. Eventually the insulation wore off the wiring and when it would touch the frame the 10A fuse...

    Need electrical experts

    Yesterday I took my F3-S in for a rear tire change at my dealer. After the change I stopped for lunch before heading home. I cranked the Spyder and backed out of the parking space. I went to push the paddle into first and nothing happened. I looked at the cluster and it was blank. Nothing...

    How do I Connect lights to the Customer Accessory Circuit?

    Jim I had the same problem that you are having. I couldn’t figure out how to use the lever connectors and my Bright Rider did not come with any posi-tap screw connectors.( the red ones). Luckily I had some posi-taps and connected to the accessory circuit with them. As I recall the black wire...

    Are there any specific Spyder Dealers?

    There is a dealer in Cartersville, GA that sells BRP only. Spyders, side by sides, ATV’s and watercraft. I bought both my Spyders from them. Also there is a very good Spyder dealer in Hendersonville, NC.

    2014 ST Troubles

    Julie is there another dealer that you can take your Spyder to? Maybe new eyes could be of help. If you sell your Spyder or trade it for another ST, the newer one would be used and BRP is not making the 998 engine anymore. You would also have to decide if you like the F3 or the RT...
