• 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.

    Shop time for no Reverse - The long wait is almost over!

    Greg - if you find the part number, maybe call a Canadian dealer. Not sure if parts are routed through Canada, before being shipped to the US? You are in Spokane. Dealer in Lethbridge, AB and a new one in Cranbrook, BC

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

    ++++++++++++++++++++++ I have considered the Admore kit for my Shad SH36 side cases. The problem I had was removing the red reflector lens covered. Removed the screws, and tried prying to remove the panel which accesses them, but was afraid I would break them. I didn't have success with a...

    Helmet Communication System Options?

    I bought a Schuberth C3 lite helmet a couple of months ago. Sena makes a comm system (SC10UA) that fits inside the helmet. Has anyone tried this system? Thanks, Rick

    What does this VIN/Description mean?

    Greg: I have a 2019 base. The ‘S’ suffix model has cruise control as standard, and better front shocks (Fox), I believe. If she sees these items on the bike, good chance it is the ‘S’ model. My base model does not have cruise (although it can be added), and no upgraded shocks on my ride. Rick

    Ring doorbells & cameras

    I have a Ring doorbell and two battery wall mounted cameras. One of the camera batteries would not accept a charge, and Ring replaced it with a remanufactured newer unit free of charge. On the other one, the battery charge lasts only a couple of months. I bought a Ring solar panel for the...

    Blue Ridge Windshield on the F3 = Crazy backdraft

    One more review of the Blue Ridge. I installed it on Thursday, and went for a ride today. At speeds up to 80 km (50 mph), it is ok. At 100 km (62 mph), lots of noise are the helmet, such that I can’t hear any traffic noise, including a semi. I had earplugs. At 100 km, I leaned forward and...

    Anyone else experiencing this Sprocket Noise or problem?

    ++++++++++++ The folks that got the pulley replaced under warranty are fortunate, as I was told at my first service last month, that the pulley was an ‘upgrade’, and not a warranty issue.

    New here, with 'new to me' 2015 F3-S & questions?

    I got the BRP backrest. I am in Canada, and high shipping costs to Canada from the US. Dealer also allowed 14 day return. It was expensive, but adjustable, and has a pin to prevent it from being stolen. I am now using a Tackform phone holder. It is solid. I got it from Motorcycle Dave, one...

    Belt Pressure - what is the manual spec?

    Dealer equated motorcycle chain to Spyder belt, where chain is adjusted frequently. I don’t think this is true. I may just buy the Kriket gauge, an oil change kit, and do the work myself. Thanks

    Belt Pressure - what is the manual spec?

    At 3000 miles, my F3 had its first service and the dealer adjusted the belt. I have bought ramps and will buy an oil change kit for next year to save the $400 dealer charge for service. If I buy the Kriket gauge, how often should I check it? Thanks, Rick

    What's this Whistling sound? 2021 F3-S

    Had my first service yesterday at 5,000 km. I was led to believe that belt tensioner or new white pulley would be a warranty item. It was not. BRP refers to these as upgrades. In addition to the first service, the dealer adjusted the belt tension. This was viewed as a possible solution to...

    Duffey Lake loop

    Eight of us from the Vancouver Island Spyder group took 7 Spyders (6 RT's, and my F3 base) from Vancouver Island to ride the 'Duffey Lake Loop'. This is a very popular route with motorcycles. We did the route in clockwise fashion, leaving from Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay, overnighting in Cache...

    Now or Wait Until Spring for First Oil Change?

    I am getting my first service next week, and it will sit for most of the winter with fresh oil in it. I agree with the above posts.

    Do OEM & A/mkt windshields for F3 use the same mounts?

    I am in Canada, and shipping fees from the US are expensive. I have ordered the Blue Ridge from my dealer, so no shipping fees. I hope I like it. BRP does not sell hardware for some of their accessories, as they want you to buy their product.
