• 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.

    Let the work begin... 2015 F3 with a new (used) engine being installed.

    Another delay. Part will not arrive until Friday. Hopefully the bike is repaired early next week. While waiting, I was able to acquire the other parts that were missing. (Mono seat cowl, frunk plastic bucket, service access panel). So, when it is completed at the dealer, I will have a full...

    The part is supposed to come in tomorrow and they said they would work on the bike until it is finished. Let's hope!

    Let the work begin... 2015 F3 with a new (used) engine being installed.

    While they were getting the new engine ready to install, they took off the intake from the original (old) engine and found particles and chunks of metal fragments imbedded into the plastic. Rather than attempting to clean it, they decided it would be best to replace it.

    Let the work begin... 2015 F3 with a new (used) engine being installed.

    While the motor was out, they wanted to change over the gaskets (only $150) to make sure there is no oil leak problems. That will take a few days to get the parts in and a bit of time to get them changed over. I am also having them do the Pennsylvania state inspection while it's there. I...

    Through some great advice received here on Spyder Lovers and a later diagnosis from the mechanic, it was determined that my 1330 engine needed to be replaced. https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?158027-2015-Can-Am-Spyder-F3-Needs-a-new-engine! The previous owner attempted to...

    Thank you... Forum tips on broken bolt removal got me out of a jam!

    I picked up a new engine for the F3 and while swapping over the transmission cover, the valve cover and the oil pump cover, I broke one of the bolts off in the engine. RT engine to an F3 engine. The old engine (F3) has the powder coated covers, whereas the new (used) RT engine did not have the...

    If I am looking directly at the gear box on a Spyder, is there a way to tell the difference between the manual and semi-automatic? i am looking for engines on ebay and they are all 1330's but the gear box looks different and there nothing in the description of the engine that tells me if its...

    Where to get a 1330 engine?

    Does the engine have to be specific if you have semi-automatic? All the engines I see online only say 6 speed, without reference to semi-automatic or clutch. Ready to buy an ebay engine,... just need to know that. Both say SE6 in the ad but look very different. See the pics below. Both 1330...

    Those bolts will not fit down into the hole. The spark plug holes are less than 8mm and the bolts are much larger than that.

    Great idea. I would assume that they could use the current ECM, since the engines are the same. Thoughts?
