• 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.

    Stripped T-40 and T-45 oil drain plugs

    Joe, thanks so much. The service manual say's they are both T's, that would explain my problem. I guess you can't believe everything you read.

    Stripped T-40 and T-45 oil drain plugs

    I was attempting to do the 1st oil change on my 2014 RT and ended up stripping both the T-40 and T-45 oil drain plugs. I don't know what they used to secure the plugs but now there is a nice round hole where the T's fittings were. The plugs would not loosen. Anybody have an idea as to how I...

    Trying to replace the feeble horn on the F3S

    On the 2014 RT, pull the side panel and the horn is immediately available but not so on the F3. Even the dealer mechanic did not know where it is located. You are correct, the shop manual indicates it's underneath, adjacent to the right tire. I guess I must be going blind.

    Trying to replace the feeble horn on the F3S

    I'm trying to replace the horn on my F3S with a more robust safety sounding horn. I have several horns on hand but cannot find the F3 horn location. The shop manual indicates it is located near the right front tire under a panel. I have been under the bike and there is no obvious panel. Has...

    1330 CAT delete for the RT

    I just replaced the cat on my F3 and it took me a long time, especially stretching those springs but I guess it was worth it. It is considerably louder and backfires once with each shift. I don't know if that can be remapped out or if I even want to do anything since I don't have any miles...

    MY F3-S build video and hi from a guy up north :D

    Great video, but what about the horn replacement. Have you replaced the feeble horn yet with something louder? I have both air and standard horns in stock that will be much louder, but I'm having difficulty even finding the horn let alone replacing it. The RT is a piece of cake but this F3?? Help

    How to change horn on the F3

    Yes, the RT is a piece of cake but not the F3. The type of horn is not the issue but how to get to it on the F3

    How to change horn on the F3

    Has anybody changed the horn on the F3?? I looked at the shop manual and it appears that it is located near the right front under a panel - not so. BRP should be ashamed to install such a pathetic sounding device in an otherwise fine machine. Obviously they do not have the safety of the rider...

    F3-S Steel Black Metallic

    Black F3S vs Standard F3 price difference Look at the price difference $2,500. Is the chrome and cruise worth that much? Just asking!

    Mechanical noise when first starting

    Mechanical Noise Talked to my Spyder mechanic and he feels, without hearing the mechanical noise, it is oil drip down coming from the engine and this is normal when a engine has not been run in a while. He suggested not running the engine in the winter and wait till April. As I said, when...

    Mechanical noise when first starting

    Upon starting my 2014 RT Limited, after storage for a couple of weeks in an unheated garage, it exhibits a loud mechanical sound for 3 - 5 seconds then disappears. If I start it daily, the sound is barely noticeable and only last for a fraction of a second. I do not think it's a fuel pump...

    14 & 15 RT's and the battery tender (battery maintainer)

    I'm a firm believer in the use of Battery Tender's(jr .750amps). Immediately after riding I hook up my battery Tender. I use them on all my bikes and tractor and leave them on till riding. Once I'm home I immediately hook them up and leave them in place 24/7. Using this technique, I have had...

    1330 engine vibration at 1200rpm

    Visited the dealer today and checked another 2014 RT Limited. Same vibration as my 2014 RT Limited at 1200 rpm. Easy just check the mirrors as slowly accelerating from idle with the bike in neutral the vibration will be seed in the mirrors briefly as you go through 1200.

    Winter IS coming

    I had the Baker on my 2012RT and just recently installed the Smoothspyder on my 2014. Both make a difference in reducing belt vibration. My wife even commented that she felt the ride was smoother with less vibration. It seems as if both devices do a good job, the Smoothspyder has the...

    1330 engine vibration at 1200rpm

    The vibrations are felt on the bars and on the mirrors. Again after it passes thru 1200, everything is smooth. The vib is only felt off idle as it passes thru 1200. At idle and above 1200, smooth. Mileage is 1,100.

    1330 engine vibration at 1200rpm

    My 2014 RT exhibits an anyoing engine vibration coming off idle at around 1200 RPM. It is NOT belt related since it occurs when standing. It is especially annoying when starting out. At idle it is smooth, but going through 1100 - 1300rpm there is a slight vibration, then everything is smooth...

    2014's with oil leaks

    I purchased my 2014 RT Limited in Sept with 2 massive oil leaks. I had to use Kitty Litter to clean up the mess in both my driveway and garage. The dealer could not repair both set screw leaks and had to order from BRP a 2015 case with the screw holes plugged. This problem occurred after 3...
