• 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.

    How to ride to break in a new F3L

    Getting a bran, new (2022 out of the box) Spyder F3L. I am a 26 yr. veteran (female) rider of motorcycles and have owned / ridden spyders since 2020. Just never had a bran, new one before! How should I ride it to ensure breaking it in correctly? I understand about oil and oil changes...

    2018 F3L stalling while driving - any ideas on why?

    I say that the last tech did not know what really to do as it was a bad timeframe - when BRP was hacked and shutdown. They have opened a proper case with BRP this time and hopefully this will come up, as well as possible gear box sensor and any other issue. Thanks.

    2018 F3L stalling while driving - any ideas on why?

    Preface: My bike is maintained on schedule, and dealer did my last oil change. Stalled while riding...It happened again on 5/5/23 when I picked up my bike after having the sprocket replaced (recall). Had to pull off road then return to dealer with SAME PROBLEM that they allege they fixed...

    Should I be able to Over-ride a Cruise Control Set speed?

    I KNOW that...do not want to have to play with buttons to determine what I want to do QUICKLY...pass a car and be done with it - especially when in the lane with oncoming traffic and sometimes having to accelerate quickly, and even MORE than was expected initially.

    Should I be able to Over-ride a Cruise Control Set speed?

    This is not good enough for me. I want to throttle UP quickly and pass a car without managing buttons.

    Should I be able to Over-ride a Cruise Control Set speed?

    I was on FB group and got my answer. Thank you to all who perused my post. Answer: I believe I am saying this correctly: The Spyder cruise control is not like old school (motorcycles) with a throttle that is (also) locked into the speed of the set cruise. On a Spyder, to override the set...

    Should I be able to Over-ride a Cruise Control Set speed?

    2018 F3L Not sure if I have a cruise control issue or not. When I set cruise control, I have no manual control over my throttle to, for eg., speed up to pass a car and then let the cruise control default to speed again. Should I be able to 'override' the set speed manually with my throttle to...

    BEST Warranty - should this VCM/HCM module job be covered?

    I have no maintenance issues. All oil changes, etc. that are due / scheduled have been done, on time. I believe that the service agent may not have communicated my issues correctly to BRP. I have gone back to dealer to investigate the "answer" given by BRP to them for my still "unidentified"...

    2018 F3L stalling while driving - any ideas on why?

    The fix that seems to work still is this: BRP told dealer to "reprogram"? / update? the VCM and to clean the HCM. I do not know why HCM needed cleaned as I maintain the bike per scheduled maintenance and I use proper oil. Other than that, no one can tell me WHY exactly or WHAT exactly was the...

    I just filed complaint with NHTSA on 10/10/22 regarding this issue.

    BEST Warranty - should this VCM/HCM module job be covered?

    I am not aware of BRP releasing any firmware updates for this issue. How would I know BRP did this, and when? Sure would like to reference this! I am calling them on Monday as they seem not to ever respond to my emails, and have not yet responded to my ticket that I created on their website.

    BEST Warranty - should this VCM/HCM module job be covered?

    2018 F3L Spyder, all maintenance done on schedule & bike only has about 12,500 miles on it as of right now I purchased the BRP BEST warranty in 2020 after purchasing the bike from a private owner then. Bike had only 1850 miles on it. FYI: my bike's VIN does NOT qualify regarding any of the...

    2018 F3L stalling while driving - any ideas on why?

    Maybe so. I have an email into BRP about what could cause this to need to be done.... anyways, I am happy that my bike is working so far! It seems to have been fixed for now. But I wonder if VCM/HCM (electronic modules) are covered under warranty in this case... I ended up paying $190 for...

    2018 F3L stalling while driving - any ideas on why?

    Update (so far): was told by dealer that BRP told them to reprogram my VCM and HCM modules. Ok. So now I am to assume all is well. Will p/u bike next week most likely and test ride it.

    2018 F3L stalling while driving - any ideas on why?

    Thank you. I was unaware of a TSB involving the kill switch side. I read both of the TSBs to include the left hand multifunction switch. I did bring up to the service dept. that 3 of my errors were due to TCM losing communications with other modules. I guess they are waiting for CanAm to get...
