• 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's this Whistling sound? 2021 F3-S

    I suggested the change to the white sprocket, but BRP requires that the belt tensioner be tried first.

    What's this Whistling sound? 2021 F3-S

    I too, have the whistling sound. I spoke to my dealer, and BRP has authorized the addition of a belt tensioner. Not sure if that is the solution. Rick

    Thinking of buying a 2021/22 F3

    I have 4,200 km on my F3, I bought in June. I added the BajaRon swaybar and links about 6 weeks ago and I feel the highway ride is more stable and better cornering. I am glad I did the upgrade. Rick

    Quadlock vs Ram X phone holder for handlebars

    I have an IPhone 12, and have been using the Ram mount since I bought the Spyder in June. I am going to try a Tackform. One the Tackform website, they caution using a phone mount with an IPhone 12. I contacted the vendor, and he indicated that the caution was directed at more off-road style...

    Where can I get a Mini bra for my 2020 F3t?

    Ok. Lamonster indicates it fits all F3 models. Sorry, I was lead to believe it should fit yours.

    Where can I get a Mini bra for my 2020 F3t?

    I recently installed a Hopnel mini-bra on my 2019 F3 base model. It is about $30 and is available at many online dealers. I believe it will fit the F3T. Rick

    Key broke, what are my options..

    I got the Ilco spare key; what do you mean by bevelling the key? Mine does not fit real well, so I am interested in what the bevel consists of. Thanks

    LED turn signals and now hyper flash

    I contacted Auxito about 1157 bulbs for my 2019 F3 base. Although not stated on their webpage, an e-mail from them indicated they were CANBUS enabled. I order two red led’s, and should have them in a couple of weeks. I will report back on how they work out. Rick

    Absolutely Amazing after Installing BajaRon sway bar!

    Very pleased with the BajaRon swaybar. There is a number of country roads around here with twisties, and the bike clung to the curves better. I also took in on the highway. I used to slow down on one particular curve, and now, no need. I would have ridden longer this afternoon, but hot...

    Absolutely Amazing after Installing BajaRon sway bar!

    ++++++++++++++++++++ Installed the BajaRon swaybar and links yesterday. I removed old links and installed new links with cycle on the ground. I had purchased a 5/16" dowel on the weekend, but my wife was away with the car, and that is where I left the dowel. There was no super glue in my...

    Newbie Question about handling

    I've had my Spyder F3 for 2 months now, and amassed 2,800 km. I added foam grips off the start, check tire pressure often, and am awaiting the delivery of my BajaRon's sway bar. By instinct, I have slowed from the posted highway speed on corners, but learning the leaning procedures outlined in...

    What are you paying for insurance? Who are you insured with?

    Brucie: All ICBC. I had Beacon when I had my Suzuki SV650, but it was higher than ICBC with the Spyder. I am going to look into Westland Insurance for the Spyder when I renew. I have Westland for our truck camper and house - very competitive rates.
