• 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.

    Where can I get Switched Power for Frunk LED Strip on '20 F3-T?

    I recently installed LaMonster's light strip on my 2019 F3 base model. I remove the frunk liner, found the accessory power supply and connected to that. It was pretty much identical to LaMonster's video.

    Recommend/suggest Bluetooth for single rider?

    I recently purchased the new Sena Spider RT1. It has some of the features of the 50 series, including great speakers. I use it for music and interfacing with my gps, but has mesh, so would work with other riders who have the Sena mesh system.

    Spyder group riding etiquette

    We did a one day group ride this past weekend. All were Spyders (12 of them). We travelled in single file, about 2 seconds apart minimum. Front, centre and rear riders had comms. If we had to stop at a traffic light, we would bunch up, taking one entire lane to enable the entire group to get...

    Is there an accessible Hot power supply on '21 RT?

    I installed an accessory plug on my F3 to keep my phone charged. It was a slow charge, so I bought a higher charge rate charger that plugs into my accessory plug and now no issues. I have an Iphone 12. Rick

    Riding into Canada - Any advice re ferries, border, travelling?

    As a Vancouver Island resident, I agree that coming from the US, it is better to take the Port Angeles, WA to Victoria, BC ferry. The Anacortes, WA to Sidney, BC Washington State Ferry is not running again this year. A bunch of us from the Island are heading to the NW Spyder event in Oregon in...

    Front Sprocket Failure

    Took my F3 to the dealer today, due to the squeal/whine about 2,300 rpm. I asked them to replace the sprocket with the new white one, plus a new bolt. I was prepared to pay for it, but dealer got it done under warranty. The squeal/whine is no longer. If only I can deal with the exhaust drone...

    What aftermarket bags work best on an F3?

    This is my Shad bags on my 2019 F3. I often travel with the right one off, so to get the Spyder closer to the garage wall, which makes getting on and off the bike easier. With both bags on, I usually put my left foot on the left footpeg, but not ideal due to the forward location of the peg. I...

    What aftermarket bags work best on an F3?

    I am happy with my Shad saddlebags. Lockable, will fit my modular helmet with comms, and a light kit is available. I bought the bags and mouth at brp online store at their summer sale. Rick

    Why are so many not using Daytime Driving Lights?

    All Canadian sold vehicles have had then since about 1990. I wish they were required in the US. Great to see oncoming traffic, especially for vehicles that are coloured close to pavement colour.

    Are Used prices incredibly high right now?

    I bought my 2019 F3 base in June, 2021. I got the 2 year base warranty and the additional 2 year BEST warranty. I added the Shad saddlebags, BRP backrest, BajaRon sway bar, and had first service in October. I have about 6,500 km on it. I found a new 2021 RT base at a dealer and he wanted $15...

    AdMore LED lighting kit for Givi bag on F3-S -- wiring help needed

    Thanks for your write-up. I got as far as trying to pry the covers apart, but as you stated, Admore indicated the adhesive. At the point of breaking something, I quit the procedure. You and Camper Mac were also helpful with the wiring. I like the red reflectors. I may go ahead with the...

    Any advice on Adding charging port to 2019 Spyder F3 S?

    I did similar to what Troop suggested, but my charger is USB ‘C’ type, with a higher output. I can use my mapping software on my Iphone 12 all day, and still have a charge.
