• 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.

    Is it possible to do a DIY reflash on an F3?

    Yes you can do it yourself with the Monster tunes. But it requires purchasing the MyGenius device along with the tunes. The airbox lid is easy to modify with a 1 inch hole saw. I bought a spare airbox lid and cut the holes in it myself. Monster sent me the Stage 1 and Stage 2 tunes along...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Spring refresh. In the last week, I've tightened the front shock springs a bit, replaced the rear tire with another Vredestein Quatrac, and while I had it apart installed new brake pads, serviced the front sprocket. Also did an oil change.

    Are there any cheaper brake linkage rods out there?

    I have a position 4 rod that you can have for free. Just cover the shipping cost. PM me with your info.

    What's the best music app to use in phone and listen to in a Sena?

    I use Spotify, Amazon Music or Sirius XM. I usually play albums or a motorcycle song list that I've previously downloaded onto the phone so I don't worry about no cell service.

    Heading for a new record of sorts - 2 Can Ams in 2 days!

    Here in Connecticut I see a Spyder or Ryker almost every time I go out. Not uncommon at all.

    Happy Birthday

    Yesterday was my birthday. I got out for a nice solo ryde for a few hours. My wife made me a great steak dinner and a big slice of homemade carrot cake that was fantastic!

    Had the sprocket recall done, now it's got a vibration! Which Belt Tensioner?

    Huge difference in quality and robustness. Get the Lamonster product.

    Any decent Dealer/Factory Service in Connecticut?.

    If you haven't already joined our US Spyder Ryders Connecticut chapter on Facebook, please do so. There are some posts on there about a guy that works on Spyders. Personally I do that type of work on my own F3 myself.

    Pedal Box/Pedal Commander Discussion

    I didn't actually NEED both. The Monster Stage 2 tune improved the throttle response, especially in Sport mode. But after a year of hearing all the benefits of the PC Or Pedal Box I was intrigued and gave in and bought the PC when it was on sale. I'm glad I did, it makes a real difference...

    Pedal Box/Pedal Commander Discussion

    I have the Pedal Commander on my 2020 F3-S. I also have the Monster Performance Stage 2 tune. After trying all the settings on the PC, I have settled on City mode +2. This gives me the fast throttle response without being too twitchy. I use Eco mode on the bike if I want a slower throttle...

    Which one - Calamoto or Rever - Pros/Cons?

    I use Rever with the Pro plan. I like the Butler maps included highlighting the rated scenic roads. I'll build a route in Rever and then download the gpx file into my Zumo GPS. You don't necessarily have to follow the route but it shows it on the gps and you can improvise as you want.

    Got a cool jacket from a ski company !!

    I have a few Spyder brand shirts and a sweater. I believe the Spyder clothes brand pre-exists the Can-Am by many years. My wife and I were wondering if they ever had a copyright or trademark infringement situation with Can-Am. But then I figured out why the Spyder clothes brand wouldn't mind...

    Sports this weekend

    I'm not particularly into soccer (although I played on my high school team one year) but I watched the World Cup Final and it was a GREAT game!

    Would you buy a Chinese motorycle?

    I agree with the above post. There doesn't seem to be a Chinese brand that I can think of that has a long standing presence with quality product and service and parts support after the sale. I would only buy if the company has been around with a good reputation for at least 10 years.
