• 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.

    Any hints on checking rear tire Air Pressure-F3L

    Last month I finally ordered FOBO for my 2020 F3 limited. Like you it was a pain to get the rear tire to the correct orientation to get my gauge down there to read. With the FOBO I can turn on my phone as I am walking out to the garage and see my tire pressure before I even place the key in...

    Fitted a new Kumho Ecsta AST to the rear, what pressure is recommended?

    I'm on my second Kumho Ecsta AST. The first one I ran at 18 psi and got about 14k miles out of it. A month or so ago I put my second on one and am running it at 14.5 p.s.i. and am hoping to get better milage out of it. Just watch how the tread wears and adjust your pressure as needed. At 18...

    Doing my first oil change and I have some questions for the more experienced guys...

    I use a similar drain plug on my truck. I would NOT use this style (or the one I have on my truck which uses a ball valve) on my 1330 engine. These rotax engines leave metal shavings that you will clean off of the drain plug. You probably will be shocked how much shavings will be on the drain...

    Why is Belt alignment so hard to get right?!

    One more suggestion: Do not back into your parking space before looking at your belt alignment. Mine shifts significantly while backing up. I can either back into my garage or drive straight in, so I make sure to drive in forward before looking at it. And as suggested above adjust only one...

    There and back again I guess.

    Thanks for the photos and the names of the places. Google earth is my friend when someone mentions a town or place for me to take a peek at. New Zealand looks stunning, thanks for sharing it with us.

    Your thoughts on When to change spark plugs?

    I've got the 1330 engine in my 2020 F3 limited. The book shows to change out around 29k miles. Now these are irridium plugs and I have got personally 95k miles out of several different automotive engines and they looked like new. I like to follow the book on all upkeep for vehicles I own, but...

    Your Weather News @ February Edition 2023

    Weather perfect today, Feb 7, 2023 Perfect temperature for a ryde, 73°F with low humidity. The low today was in the mid 40's, so I went on an enjoyable 60 miles ryde. I think winter just may be leaving because I saw a bit of color in flowers that were growing in the middle of farmer's fields...

    Will the Ryker electronics freak out using Rear Brake only?

    The learning curve will hurt. My 2020 F3 spyder went into limp mode just because I was adjusting the belt with the rear tire off the ground, with it spinning of course. I had to purchase BUDs2 software to clear it. Check the price of the software and plan on totting it around with you so you...

    Do you feed the birds ?????

    Yep, I purchase sunflower seeds at Wallyworld by the 40# bags. There are two walmarts near me and a SIX dollar difference in price! Currently $19 at one store and $25 at the other walmart. I enjoy seeing the birds eating (especially during winter) and most of the birds near my house like to...

    Youtube can be your friend, look up Mousetrap Monday (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Qk8W5uf-Dw). He has tested out hundreds of mousetrap and is fun to watch. Until several years ago I had a cat that was excellent at catching any varmints that lurked around (but not for long!), but I have...

    Need to get over Fear of Leaving my Spyder in Hotel Parking Lots Unattended O/night

    The first night I stayed at a motel I was also a bit nervous. I parked my spyder near my window for easy viewing and nobody bothered it. I've spent a dozen nights in motels without any problems. Some folks walk by it, but just to admire it and not looking to do any damage to it. I just don't...

    Put the Parking brake on but it still rolls! What am I doing wrong??

    I'm new to the Spyders, but you mentioned "My wife turned the key on pressed down the brake pedal and hit the Parking button while I was laying down, I could hear it, and it worked." When you put the parking brake on are you also pushing the brake pedal like the mrs. did before hitting the...

    Thinking of buying a 2021/22 F3

    I've purchased my 2020 F3L in April of this year. Purchased it used with 500 miles on it. It now has 10,900 miles. The sway bar and feel of the Spyder has been fine and don't have any plans on changing the sway bar currently. I suggest running it for a couple of months and decide for Your...
