• 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 did you do to your Spyder today?

    If it is leaking out the valve then either the core has trash in it so it won't seal when the button is released, or else the rubber sealing it to the stem has dried out and cracked. Either way a new core should fix it. No guarantee if the leak is some other place. A little dish soap on the end...

    Is this the VSS not working? Anyone experienced it before? What came of it?

    The small icon right after SPORT on the dash is the icon for traction control is turned off. It is a little icon of a tire with a slash through it. That comes on when the pax seat button is not pressed and you switch to sport mode. Video - he is calling it Spaceship mode. Newer model than mine...

    Is this the VSS not working? Anyone experienced it before? What came of it?

    Yes, it clicks through all 3 modes and stays on the one you stop at. There is no message on top of the dash display in normal mode, but when you click to ECO or Sport mode, the word icons pop up at the top of the dash display. That is how you know which mode you go into. No marking on the...

    Might be that I can do better than that. The manual has illustrations of the controls with all the switches labelled. I can screen shot the manual. It might take a few to locate the right page and get it posted.

    LED turn signals and now hyper flash

    Think maybe this is the post from 2019 that I copied that bulb info from. Hyperflash post - https://www.spyderlovers.com/threads/are-fast-flash-turn-signals-illegal-in-us-unsafe-if-so-how-to-fix-led-bulbs.127241/#post-1483218

    LED turn signals and now hyper flash

    I don't have time to read the entire posts right now. There is a bulb that is supposed to work that prevents the hyper-flash. Information I copied a while back and left in a file. EverBright 2800Lumen 7507 Led Bulb, No Hyper Flash BAU15S PY21W 5009 12496 Front Rear Turn Signal Bulb, Canbus...

    I don't think the ECU swap will work. Sport mode has a lot of other little things that support it. If you want more storage than the F3-S has, you can fit the F3-S with most of the same type saddle bags, different seats, and trunk boxes. I just use nylon bags when I need them. The F3-S the way...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Just replace the core with a new one. You can get 100 of them for $10 bucks. Go to a tire store and they will give you a handful of them to get rid of you. Schrader cores...

    Where do I go to find how to Add flags and Spyder updates to daily posts?

    Thread is from last year, but if you ain't found the flags, smilies, and other little pictures, I will tell you where they are. Look at the top of the posting box and click on the little smilie face. Another one just like it on the box to set up your signature. 🧚‍♀️🧙‍♀️🦣🐎🐓🐈‍⬛🍿🎯🚙🏁

    Not sure what years. Mine has it and it is 2019. Not sure if it is only on the F3-S or if it comes on the Limited either. Might can find something on it. Edit and paste; Can-Am Spyders have a Sport Mode in the F3-S model starting from the 2017 model year. This mode allows for controlled...

    Just wanted to share a riding story - hitting a swarm of yellow jackets!

    I posted something not accurate on this thread. There is a lot of mis-information on the web concerning the meat bees and yellow jackets. Some information on the web is saying the yellow jacket and meat bee are the same insect. A U-Tube video even calls the meat bee a Western yellow jacket. I...

    Just wanted to share a riding story - hitting a swarm of yellow jackets!

    What you are calling meat bees and yellow jackets are the same thing. Had some run ins with them pushing fence lines and turned over trees that had huge, underground nests of them. Laid on the couch for two days with Ziplock bags of ice on my face. Couldn't back away fast enough and finally...

    Yeah, them swarms of June Bugs along the coast hurt too. Hard shells and they can fly. Messy is love bugs. Millions of them, but they don't sting or hurt when they hit. They are just messy.

    Just wanted to share a riding story - hitting a swarm of yellow jackets!

    Bees and yellow jackets don't hurt real bad. Ride down a country road at 60 MPH and have a covey of quail get up from the ditch and hit two or three of them. Almost could call it a bird strike. I had to stop and get my breath back. The one that hit me in the chest knocked the breath out of me...

    Just wanted to share the unbridled joy and ease of riding the Spyder!

    My left leg is amputated at the knee as a result of a motorcycle wreck in about 1981. I wore prosthetic leg for many years and got by riding two wheels for a while. About 2000, I started having problems with the prosthetic because of steel pins and bone growths causing bleeding and infections...

    What mode are you running in? Are you sure the passenger switch under the seat is capped so it can't be depressed? Mine is totally disabled. I can do 180 under full power on dirt. There is never any action from the nanny. Where the arrow is pointing is the icon that lets you know the traction...
