• 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.

    Are Tire 'Flat Stoppers' necessary for winter storage??

    No problem with flat spots on spyder, defender cab, outlander X, fuel stabilizer in the late fall and no battery maintainer on any of them. The Outlander is a 2013 (not used much) still on the original battery.

    Two Oil Observations ... I think ...

    I realize this question was for Ron but if you consider that a used filter has better filtration (some of the pores have larger particles in them) than a new one (unless its plugged); I see no benefit in changing the filter other than you may have to add a bit of new oil to replace the oil that...

    Licence plate housing fell off... Need help on the part# for replacement?

    After sleeping on the lens breaking around the retaining screw, I decided to check it this morning and the RTV appears to be holding the lens on the housing. I backed the screw out and the RTV had set on the threads so I applied the RTV to the complete thread and a bit to the shoulder of the...

    Licence plate housing fell off... Need help on the part# for replacement?

    I have a '22 F3S that I bought new last summer, and I lost the lens after the first ride out on the highway. The dealer replaced it for me at no charge. Last week after a ride I noticed the lens was gone again, this time I paid $80 to BRP for a new license plate assembly - the part number...

    Just had my 1st service done - they used 4T 0W40 synthetic oil - anyone else?

    0W-40 designation from the Castrol site: "Winter It actually stands for Winter. That's because 0W-40 engine oil is formulated to flow like a 0 Weight oil in cold conditions, yet offer the protection of a 40 Weight motor oil when the engine reaches its full operating temperature." The oil is...

    I've just Added Lights to our F3 Spyder!

    Just curious if you noticed the lights moving much at speed? The upper control arm would have a fair amount of up and down movement at road speeds.

    Share your experiences with Performance shocks for 2023 RT's?

    I have Elka Stg 2 on my 22 F3S and a friend that I ride with has the Elka Stg 3 on his F3S. I have Elka Stg 2 on a 2013 Outlander 1000 and no leaks. You can send Elka an email with any questions you may have and they will respond or call you back, that may help with making your decision on what...

    Is it possible to do an Oil Change without a lift?

    It is your machine, but I suspect that using the extractor you did not drain the oil from the area behind the gearbox screen, you might want to do that next time. JMO

    Do you remove your Airhawk seat pad when you leave your Spyder parked?

    When I installed the air hawk straps I put the fasteners under the seat but if I was staying at a motel I would simply unzip and remove the pad. No problem during the day rides.

    Tell Me Something Good About Your Spyder Ownership Experience

    I test drove the Spyders when they first came out and decided I didn't need one at the time. Last year my Mango Green 22 F3S was sitting in the show room looking lonely so I had a closer look and decided to buy it. I had not been a highway bike rider previously but had my license to drive it. My...

    PedalBox and Pedal Commander - what do they do and how do they work?

    The F3S already has "sport mode" that gives you a quicker throttle signal response similar to the devices being discussed but also provides other changes from the ECM such as relaxed nanny on rear wheel traction. My SWAG is that both spyders with and without will arrive at the same time...

    Front Pulley Failure! Incredibly Poor Dealer Response!

    I doubt that BRP will pay for a third-party repair (IMO), but she should contact BRP Care and have them open a case file explaining what her concerns are about the quality of repair with the current dealership. Once that case file is open, they may recommend a different dealership do the repair...

    Has Anyone else got a Rear shock oil leak?

    You need to look near the top attachment point to see the piston seal as Mikey suggested. The oil will leak down along the body and spring until it drips onto the catalytic converter. Based on the amount of dust on the spring, it looks like an oil leak from a bad seal. Take it to the dealer for...

    What do you think of the 'New for 2025 - Spyder Canyon'?

    Interesting but not for me. I played with my 22F3S last fall when we got about an inch of snow and when I tried to do anything that broke the rear tire loose in standard mode it immediately applied the brakes and almost slid me sideways into the ditch. I didn't try sport mode it might have...

    Need to modify driver's seat on 2023 RTL - anyone made theirs comfortable?

    Just got my Airhawk Custom R large for my 22 F3S drivers seat and the first impression is positive, I am still playing with the inflation of the cushion a bit and yes you will sit a bit higher 1/4-1/2" depending on the amount of inflation.

    Purchasing Soon - what is the process like? Any experiences/advice appreciated

    Pay attention to the model you are pricing when shopping and each dealer may be different but in the past I have had a discount on accessories for one year and if I had some accessories added to the machine before I picked it up the sales guys would usually install the accessories at no charge...
