• 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.

    New unsold 2016 F3T

    It's not gone yet. Just sitting in my garage on a Battery Tender for now. Anybody out there wanting a nice very well cared for Indian? I'm asking $16K but am negotiable. My email is [email protected]

    New unsold 2016 F3T

    Sixteen grand sounds like a good offer to me too. Lots more money to add things like a trunk and floorboards etc.

    $10K Spyders for 2019

    The only way would be a lighter smaller Spyder with maybe less features or less expensive bodywork. Possibly a new smaller twin cylinder motor (think vertical twin maybe 2/3 of the current triple) and maybe with only a manual shift transmission.

    M/C License - Yes/No?

    Here in Ohio we still have to get or already have a motorcycle endorsement on our operators license. There isn't a helmet law but newbies (first year riders) and kids under 18 have to wear them. That reciprosity thing only applies to licensing requirements but you'll still have to wear a...

    Wifeless rider

    I'm not a Spyder owner yet but my wife has pretty much given up on riding behind me on my 2015 Indian Chieftain. Since her total knee replacement surgery she cant completely bend that knee enough to easily get on & off while I steady the bike. I am hoping to get a new F3T or F3 Limited so she...

    Handlebar Riser Kit for F3

    I think Lamonster put mini apes on an F3-S a while back. That is another possible solution for ergonomic comfort. Sorry I forgot to read your previous reply there, but yeah they would probably help.

    shout out from Texas

    Greetings from Ohio and welcome even though I am not yet a Spyder owner. I am in a similar situation with a bad back and two bad knees. I also had to have retina surgery on my right eye and that too is questionable as to whether or not I'll get 100% vision in it. That makes me feel a whole...

    F3 Front Sprocket Inspection

    I take it from what I am reading that the drive belt is over-tightened from the factory and that reducing the tension and running an idler pulley is going to reduce or even eliminate this problem. There is also mentioning of the SE6 models "hammering" the splines. Does this mean the engagement...

    Performance mods or scrap F3-S?

    Dynojet has a new thing called a PVCX that can be custom tuned and From what I have seen over at the Indian Motorcycle forum there is a lot more power lurking in the stock engine. Recently Fuel Moto, a tuning outfit that sells the PVCX, did a dyno run on a stock Scout Sixty then one of the...

    F3 Front Sprocket Inspection

    I'm not a Spyder owner yet but most motorcycles have a drive cushion in the rear hub of the back wheel which takes up some of the shock of shifting/downshifting, accelerating etc. I would think BRP would have such a drive dampener in the Spyder rear wheel hub. The transmission output shaft...

    New unsold 2016 F3T

    I need to get at least $16,000 for it. I can add cash to that and offer the 17K or 18K whatever and have no payments.

    New unsold 2016 F3T

    That would be nice to do but in reality I would have to sell my current bike first in order to have that kind of cash available. I have a nice 2015 Indian Chieftain with almost 19,000 miles on it. It's a two-tone blue & cream model with fishtail tipped exhausts. The motor has stage one and...

    shout out from Texas

    I'm getting to be in the same boat so-to-speak. I had two retina reattachment surgeries on the same eye in ten days. I'm also having lower back and knee issues making handling a big two wheeler a challenge in and out of my garage and backing out as well as low speed maneuvers with my legs...

    20,000 mile review.....sweet and simple.

    I'm glad to see your F3S has been trouble-free. I'm at the point of going from two wheels to three do to some health issues related to aging. I'm considering an F3T but since it's essentially the same machine there shouldn't be any major differences. Hopefully your luck will continue. Enjoy...

    New unsold 2016 F3T

    Well four months anyhow to April. Being as motorcycles aren't really moving this time of year there's a good chance it will still be there by that time. I appreciate you input.

    Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. I will give that a try.

    New unsold 2016 F3T

    My local dealer has a new unsold/untitled 2016 F3T SE6 in Steel Black Metallic on sale for $18,199. It was originally MSRP'd at $24,499. I know that the two year depreciation thing takes hold as soon as it leaves his showroom so I am curious as to whether or not this might be a good deal on a...

    F3 or RT?

    This is just me and my opinion so take it with a grain of salt. I've only demo ridden 4 different Spyders since they came out in 2008. I'm leaving out the original one as it was too much like a sportbike's ergonomics but the next two were RTs first being a 990 V-twin and the second one a 1330...

    Other peoples reaction

    Still two wheeling but.... I'm still riding on two wheels and my 2015 Indian Chieftain is the nicest motorcycle I've ever owned, but both of my knees and left hip as well as my lower back are starting to act up badly enough to have me considering going to three wheels on my next ride. MY wife...

    F3's can tip over

    A trike is still a trike. All trikes are more prone to tipping than four wheelers. In Can Am's case there's the "nanny' to help prevent this from occuring. Like you said, when backing up you become a trike with the single wheel in the front and the extra tippiness that those have comes into...
