• 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.

    Anyone riding 2up on their Ryker? Need a decent seat & backrest, so - Ryker or Spyder RT?

    My prior Spyder was a 2020 F3L. The Mrs. had a little bit of difficulty getting onto it with a poor knee. Currently, on the 2023 RTL, she has an easier time getting on and she tells me the seat is much more comfortable for her. I added arm supports to both bikes and the Mrs. much preferred...

    F3s Travel cover needed - any recommendations on which is best?

    Think of it in this fashion- If you drove your Spyder cross country, would you have a cover on it? I think not. Many years ago, my uncle placed a cover on a car he and my father hauled on an open trailer from New York to Tampa Florida, and the tarp they thought was well secured was not, so it...

    Where did you ride?

    Not that I need ANY reason to go ryding, but the mrs. is off quilting with several of her girl friends for the weekend, so after church yesterday the drizzling had stopped I cruised around north Alabama and southern Tenn. for 100 miles. Good farmland with curvy two lane roads and trees just...

    Looking to get a new '23 F3 S Special Series - what windshield & longer footboards?

    I'll make a suggestion. I had a 2020 F3 limited with a factory windshield (a shorty looking windshield). My current ride is a 2023 RT limited. The RT windshield is much taller. For me, hands down, I prefer the F3 short windshield over the factory RT windshield even cruising 12 hours on the...

    Pillion Passenger can't reach the hand grips - any ideas?

    I put armrests on my 2023 RTL for the Mrs. She loves them. They were easy to install; a bit pricey, but it does keep peace in the family so it is worth it! I purchased mine at: https://leadersrpmshop.com/can-am-new-oem-optimal-comfort-easy-access-passenger-armrests-219401181/ for a bit...

    2 Letter Word Read until the end.....you'll laugh.... This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is 'UP.' It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v]. It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at...

    Contemplating buying a Spyder - any reliability, power, and buyer's remorse issues?

    I have owned a 2020 F3 limited and now a 2023 RT limited. Have the mrs. get on both bikes. My wife finds the RT much more comfortable to ride on than the F3. It will take you some time to get accustomed to driving the spyder, but once you get the hang of it you will love it. The machine has...

    How should a novice check brake pad thickness?

    A good tool to purchase would be a caliper measuring tool. A digital caliper can measure both in english and the metric system. They can be purchased at Amazon or Harbor freight at reasonable prices. Calipers are able to measure I.D's, O.D's and depth with the most common ones measureing up...

    Urk... Frunk won't unlatch... Is this a common problem?

    Rear axle doesn't/can't have a cotter pin - anyone else?

    My 2023 RT limited does not have a cotter pin in it. The 2020 F3 did have a cotter key, so I was surprised when I changed the rear tire last month that the RT did not have one. The 2023 does not have a place for a cotter key either. Just as a side note when you are checking adjustment on your...

    How do I get that Map in the Signature Block???

    Try this airmen 2090, after you created your map I saw on the lower right an "add to signature" or something to that affect and clicked it. If my signature line shows the map on this post it should work for you too. I must have missed it before also. Don't forget to click on add to signature...
