• 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.

    How can I find and access a 2015 F3 Starter?

    Look in the Repair & Service Manual. The entire procedure to get to the starter is in there. You don't want to work on a Spyder starter without the manual. The Spyder starters are inside one of the side plates of the lower crankcase. They don't bolt on the outside with a gear that locks into the...

    Is this Krikit Belt Tension still too tight?

    If the 2017 F3 has the same numbers in the Repair & Service Manual as my 2019 F3, then the Newtons would convert to 174 pounds of pressure, plus or minus 34 pounds. The slot is 140 pounds to 208 pounds. You are within the range, but could probably go lower. It would depend on the belt vibration...

    Is this Krikit Belt Tension still too tight?

    Not sure where you are getting the numbers from, but I have been working on the FAQ about belt tension and from what I found off site many of the dealership techs are setting all Spyders the same tension. Then I found one U-Tube that makes it clear that the F3 series and the heavier touring...

    Random thought for the day

    A lady loved a swaggering rover, The seven salt seas he voyaged over, Bragged of a hoard none could discover, Hey! Jolly Roger, O. She crept from bed by her sleeping sister; By the old gray mill he met and kissed her. Blue day dawned before they missed her, Hey! Jolly Roger, O. Choose in haste...

    Rear tire mileage - How are you people getting 10,000 + miles on Kenda tires?

    I don't even need to do that. I just take 2 bolts out of the fender and swivel it up out of the way. Then the old tire will roll out and the new tire will roll right in. F3-S - Not much of a fender, and the mudflap broke off a month after I bought it.

    Does anyone have 2025 Spyder Shop Manual? I need a part # for the Right fuse box with the diagram of all the fuses?

    The part number is on that link I left up there on post #3. I looked at it before I posted the link. Put in the year, model, and all that stuff it asks for, and when it opens the parts diagrams, go to electrical. The fuse boxes, covers, and even the fuses are listed. Copy the part numbers or...

    What is the unloaded rear axle weight of a 2020 style F3L? for tires...

    Worried about weight of a Spyder on a car tire? Really? It is a waste of your time, but the weight limits are usually listed in the Operator Manual that goes to your Spyder. When all else fails, read the manual.

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    All true, it is nice in summer, but I head South before the white stuff starts falling out of the sky. Rode that area a lot, White Mountains, Kancamagus Highway, through the Lake Country, and get good prices staying at the off season ski resorts. Nice weather, not real hot, like Florida in July...

    Oil - Full Synthetic or Synthetic Blend??

    Not just because it is synthetic, and that is a plus, but also it is for motorcycles and says so on the bottle, it is made in USA, and it is safe for wet clutches. been using it a long time, never had a problem. Use whatever you want to, as long as it is safe for wet clutch. They all slick. I...

    Any thoughts about running Car Tires On The Rear?

    Actually, 30 PSI on the rear Kenda is what is recommended and the dealer just said what Can Am wants them to say. This is cut and pasted right out of my manual which came with the new Spyder. I got about 6,000 miles out of the OEM Kenda rear. Get at least 4 or 5 times that with a Kumho @ 24...

    Does anyone have 2025 Spyder Shop Manual? I need a part # for the Right fuse box with the diagram of all the fuses?

    You probably need to replace the broke fuse box anyway, but if you need to know what is on the diagram; In my Operator Manual, (not the Shop and Repair manual), there are pictures and charts for both fuse boxes. The chart shows exactly where each fuse is located in the fuse box and lists what...

    Can anyone post a pic of the Seat Latch Lug on a 2022 Spyder RT?

    Would something like this work? May never know unless somebody has tried them. Length could be adjusted by adding the correct threaded sleeve to it. Threaded sleeves are simple to saw off to the correct length with a common hacksaw. Polaris Seat latch Pin

    How can I tell the year of my Ryker?

    The Internet is not always correct, but it says that the Can Am VIN decoder will give the history and details of any Can Am vehicle worldwide, regardless of country.of origin. Might try putting the VIN number in it and see what comes out...... Can Am VIN Decoder
