• 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.

    Getting ready to bite the bullet!

    4 hours on a spyder, is a piece of cake, you'll enjoy every mile, :) For commuting 3 miles, that won't get the spyder warm enough, and will drain the battery (spyders are hungry, for batterypower), try and squeeze in some more miles, to get your spyder up to temp. If you drive it like a car, it...

    Frustration - rant

    Hello Mike, Agree with you, seems to me, that when topicstarters have their solution, they rarely come back, with "a thanks for helping me, your solution worked", I have a small business, placing windscreens, glass in all types of vehicles, and I just love customer feedback, makes me grow as a...

    Getting ready to bite the bullet!

    Me thinks "late 30's", they are more into the F3, simply because it is more like a sportscar.... have absolutely nothing against the RT/ RTL, they are just as fast, but the F3 is just sportier.... while the RT/ Rtl is more suited for long drives... It's all bout personal preferences....

    Can-am Ryker Brake and turning left issues - Help?

    Your problem, sounds like a bent rotor, or a sticking brake caliper, try the solution Mike gave, see if there's any drag on the wheels during braking (let the motor run) Then check for play in the front wheels, not likely, seen the mileage, but it could be a wheelbearing, as it occurs during a...

    VSS mode. How common is it?

    Blueknight911, Mike is right, VSS is your angel on your shoulder, often called "the Nanny", if you are a spirited driver, you'll see those vss warnings often, not a bad thing. Nanny wil adapt to your drivingskills overtime, so those vss warnings should be become less.... but when you drive like...

    Mike 4143, how did the situation, pan out for you, Is the problem solved? Just curious, JoeyL, gives a good advice... Brakes are quite a safety issue, and if the bike pulls to whatever side, that is a biggie. Are you able to check your pads? Take a wheel off, as BajaRon suggested, and check the...

    F3L Advice sought - will I miss my RTL?

    I drive an F3s, 2019 model, I love the seating position on this bike, I testdrove an rt, and didn't like the seating position, It's just what your preference is... on an RT you are on top, and with a f3 you are more in the bike, think f3 as a corvette, and a RT/l more like a grandtour...

    ‘15 F3-S - how to turn off ECO?

    On my Spyder, if you ride two-up, sportsmode cannot be selected, I just push the modebutton, and it changes immediately, but mine is a 2019 F3s. Only thing I can think off, under the passengerseat, there is a safetyswitch, maybe that is detecting to fast, it tells the nanny, there is someone...
