• 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.

    What is this Unknown dash icon?

    Flamewinger That is the symbol, thanks. The next time I have the bike out I will push the joystick and see if the vertical line moves. Poasttown

    What is this Unknown dash icon?

    Trikermutha XM radio, If you are referring to a subscription service, maybe, but I don’t have this service. This icon is depicted on page 35 of my manual. I did notice that the line would flip between vertical to angled going down the road. I’m still leaning toward signal strength or stereo mode.

    What is this Unknown dash icon?

    I have an icon on my instrument cluster that I can’t seem to identify. I’ve searched through the manual and can’t seem to find any reference to it. It’s a small circle icon, just below the radio mute icon in the lower right of the cluster, which has an open top with a vertical line coming out...

    Thinking of purchasing a Spyder Touring

    I took the BRP rider/safety course for a number of reasons including; getting a comprehensive introduction to the spyder, experienced a lot of the lower speed operational characteristics of the bike, was able to ride a couple models of the bike and was able to spend a half day riding the spyder...

    If the bendy straw fails to work I wonder if a short small diameter rubber hose attached to your sweeper hose might work. Poasttown

    Bump Steer

    Buttersmooth I understand what you are saying because I often ride similar roads. I installed a BaJa Ron Sway bar which helped and installed passenger BRP armrests which also helped. My wife is happy overall with the ride of the spyder and long rides are more pleasant even though she is happier...

    Belt tensioner Roller failed, ruined my belt.

    Follow-up. I did meet with my mechanic and he did take the bike for a test drive. He agreed that the vibration was from the belt and that a belt tensioner would be of some help. Knowing that the belt is likely the issue and not any other major cause I think I can live with this for now. So...

    Belt tensioner Roller failed, ruined my belt.

    I’m getting a strong vibration at 77 mph (2019 F3L) which isn’t a huge issue under normal riding conditions. However, there are on rare occasions when I want to reach this speed on the highway. Pretty sure it is a belt vibration and the dealer seems to agree but I’m going to take it in for...

    F3L Driver seat - any more comfortable options?

    Air Hawk seat cushion question. Which style works best for the F3? They make threes sizes cruiser large, medium and small. I think I understood on a blog somewhere that even though the large seems like the size to use, the medium may be better suited foe the F3. Any comments from users? I may...

    Gas Cap Leak

    This may be related or not to the issue. A few days ago after a few hour ride I could hear a faint whistling sound. I traced the whistle to my fuel cap and when I open the cap the whistle stopped. Not sure if air was trying to get in or out but I would think the vent (wherever it is) should have...

    Removing tupperware

    Thanks everyone for your comments. I’m leaning toward letting the dealer replace this panel. They ordered the panel and I have it and I thought I would do it if it was fairly easy, looks like it’s not. I might be more motivated to change this but since thIs job was part of the purchase “ it’s...

    Removing tupperware

    There was a small blemish/dent in this panel when purchased and the dealer agreed to provide and replace this panel as part of the purchase deal. I thought I would go ahead and replace myself when I do an oil change since I have to remove some panels anyway. These panels seems fairly easy to...

    Removing tupperware

    I’m looking for instructions, preferably a video, on how to remove two body panels on my 2019 F3L. The specific panels I’m referring to are the ones on each side of the gas cap and handle bars, directly above the removable oil check panel. These two panels sit on top of the large Tupperware...

    Not yet a Spyder owner

    Gregg I can relate to your concerns. This “back and forth” motion was an issue for me plus I was concerned about how it would affect my passenger, which it did. I added a few accessories which helped in this area including Baha Ron sway bar and OEM arm rests for my passenger. In addition, all...

    Checking oil level info. Discrepancy

    I am looking at the directions on how to check the oil level on my 2019 F3L. The instructions on the sticker on the underside of the dip stick cover panel says ride nine miles, stop on level surface, LET IDLE 10 MINUTES, turn off engine, then check oil. The operators manual say the same thing...

    Heated Pass. Handholds - are all F3's pre-wired?

    The reason for my asking. If other spiders have the wiring in place, to add heated handholds, they must have some form of end cap on these plugs. If this is true then I would like to purchase these end caps so I can cover my electrical plugs due to me removing my electric handholds. I’m...

    OEM armrest F3L

    Yes. When you remove the handholds you have to remove the pass. seat and unplug the electrical connection for each hand hold. I didn’t want to lose the heated handholds but apparently that was the trade-off. My wife liked the heated handholds but didn’t use them very often and she would use the...

    OEM armrest F3L

    Allow me to add a follow-up to my topic. I installed the BRP armrests yesterday (2019 F3L) and the installation was pretty basic. I wasn’t exactly sure how best to secure the two electrical connections remaining from the heated hand holds. This topic was discussed on another thread. Anyway, we...
