• 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.

    F3 died out

    I stopped at my dealer yesterday, checked no codes current or stored. I hit 385 miles today on my way work and it has not happened in the last 175 miles or so. Perhaps it was just a software glitch that worked it's way out.

    F3 died out

    Wife just reminded me it happened on a left turn with her last night too. I forgot about that one. Fuel is only down a couple bars. I emailed my dealer just to mention it to him, he said if it keeps up to bring it in.

    F3 died out

    So got my new bike this past Sat. Yesterday it died while making a right turn off a 45mph zone. Thought maybe I hit the kill switch and brushed it off. Well it happened again today same senero I am sure I did not hit the kill switch. No codes and it starts right back up. I emailed the dealer...

    Trigger Pulled

    So after months of back and forth I finally pulled the trigger on a 2015 F3-S SM6. Being put together today. I test rode one back in July and knew this day was coming, and when the 2016's yielded no new colors, it sealed my fate. Trading my 2009, RS with 998 hours and 35,000 miles on it. It's...

    SmoothSpyder Backrest

    So I pulled the trigger on a F3-S yesterday. The wife really liked the BRP back rest at the dealer so now I am torn. We all know happy wife............. I have never had one for the driver, (me) on my 2009 so my thought was just get that one and do it like I have in the past. When she rides with...

    SmoothSpyder Backrest

    SmoothSpyder Backrest

    Anyone have any feedback on the Smoothspyder adjustable backrest? I was thinking of getting the large passenger backrest and the driver one from BRP, but this one would be much less expensive. I would never use them both at the same time anyway as when the wife rides with me she is my backrest...

    All the 2016 Spyder Lineup info posted here!

    I kinda feel the same way only I have 35k on mine. I was hoping for some new colors on the F3, the bagger one does not do it for me. The storage is nice but it really ruins the look of the back of the bike in my opinion. I have soft saddle bags on my 09 that would work on the F3 anyway. The...

    2016 models

    On BRP's site now. Very disappointing same colors and the only new models seem to only come in the semi auto transmission. Not happy, guess I have to start searching for a 2015.:mad:

    2016 models

    Will we be able to access the new pictures anywhere online tonight? I have cash in hand, if I like the 2016 colors I will wait, if not the hunt for a 2015 starts tomorrow. My 2009 has 35,000 miles and is ready to leave the stable.

    Air filter

    Does anyone know if they make an "open air" intake like the Kwel Metal ones they had for the original twin engine? I have one on my current RS and love the way it made it sound. I am looking ot buy a 2016 F-3 and am starting to do my research on aftermarket products.

    Ticking sound

    He mentioned the front gaskets were shot as well. The exhaust was bouncing off the ground some. Maybe it's that, hearing the valves? Again that should speed up with the rpm if it was. I will keep the post updated when I get it back hopefully this weekend.

    Ticking sound

    Dealer said it was the front pulley. It was worn out pretty bad on the splines. He has one on order, so hopefully that's all it is. Why did it wear, who knows. He said he checked everything related to it and all is fine. So for 105 bucks plus a little labor she will be back up and running just...

    Ticking sound

    Had a chance to look at it last night a bit. Not anything to do with the ignition. I took off panel and rode it, hard to tell with wind noise over 27 MPH. Jacked up rear and ran it, used a stethoscope to help find it. With the exhaust it was hard to pinpoint. Near as I can tell it seems to be...

    Ticking sound

    I just changed my plugs and wires! I am going to look at that first now. It seems to be coming from right where the coils are!!!! Maybe one is not snapped on all the way or cam lose!:bowdown: I feel like an idiot now, more so if that's it

    Ticking sound

    Yeah really surprised with the crew here, lol. I have not had time to look at it yet been really busy with work. Hopefully next week. Contacted my dealer, their service guy said it sounds like maybe a rear wheel bearing. I will post up when I get it figured out. If I can make the it happen on...

    Ticking sound

    I have a 2009 RS with 29,000 miles on it. Rode yesterday without a helmet for a quick run to the store. I noticed a ticking type sound coming form the front. At first I thought left front wheel bearing, but after further review it seems to be coming from the left side like right behind the oil...
