• 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.

    New Coolant will not circulate after refill, completing successful flush and change - anyone else? Any ideas on what might be causing it?

    I did a demo ride on the 2022 F3-L that I just purchased. Returning from the ride ‘high coolant temp’ came up on the screen. The fans started and a warning symbol (within the temp range on the gauge). The dealer thought it may be airlocked, and no longer a warning symbol. They are going to...

    Made a deal, swapped my 2019 Base F3 for a New ride - 2022 F3-L!

    I bought my base model 2019 F3 as a leftover in 2021. I enjoyed the bike, and added accessories to allow some touring, plus comfort conveniences. On Friday, made a deal on a 2022 F3L, again as a leftover. Spent yesterday removing GPS, ultimate floorboards, backrest etc. from my F3 base, in...

    A nice ride may be up Main St to either Lockport or Selkirk, and return to city via Henderson Hwy or Hwy 59, provided you follow BRP recommendations.

    Is there a Third Brake Light I can install on F3T Luggage Rack?

    I added a led combo running/brake/signal light to the rack on my F3. I bought it from Admore lighting. Pleased with it. Sequential signals flash amber, otherwise solid red.

    Anyone purchased BEST Extended Warranty in Canada?

    Considerable savings over what I was quoted, and this was a dealer I hoped to buy a new Spyder from at a future date. Thanks

    Anyone purchased BEST Extended Warranty in Canada?

    When I bought my new 2019 F3 in June 2021, BRP had a promo, which included 2 extra years of the BEST warranty. Due to the high cost of repairs, I am considering extending my warranty by one year, which is the maximum permitted by BRP. I was surprised by the cost: 1 year BEST. $1971 plus tax 2...

    Any F3 owners with Shad Bags added Taillights? Need details?

    I added lights to my Shad saddlebags a couple of years ago. I bought them from admorelighting.com, and also the red reflectors (available from Shadusa, and others). When I added the rear shelf, I also added a light.

    Bright Headlights Daytime Yes or No

    Givi side case with no key, just a code - how to get one made?

    I misplaced one key for my Shad saddlebags. I tried a local locksmith with no success. I contacted Shad with the cylinder/key number, and discovered that they don’t sell individual keys. I ended up with a kit of 3 lock cylinders, one for each of the saddlebags, and a spare, should I add the...

    What Budget Comms Systems are available/do you like?

    I have Sena Spyder RT1 comms. They are about 2 years old, and battery is weak. I asked Sena about a replacement battery, and they indicated none were available. The idea is to replace the comms if the battery fails. I can't buy the comms attachment separately, so end up with duplicate speakers...

    Storage options - are there any Spyder Tank Bags?

    Hello: I bought this Hopnel Tux Tie for my Spyder F3 https://www.amazon.ca/Hopnel-H40-304BKC-Tux-Tie-Pack/dp/B078229S26. This is an Amazon Canada link, but you can get the product number from it. There are other online dealers. I have yet to install it, but I believe it is the same product...

    Found Helmets cheaper in Germany; delivered to Arizona in 3 days!

    I priced a Schuberth C5, plus the SC2 comms, on FC Moto, and the delivered price was about $80 more than local price, and that did not account for any duties or taxes. Another online retailer, MotardInn was over $100 more than local, excluding taxes and duties. I have bought from MotardInn...

    Hi Andy - that European version has a different approval than DOT, not sure if more stringent.

    Looking at Running/Fog Lights - Which do you recommend? Which LED & Fog Light kit?

    I told my dermatologist that folks in the Pacific northwest don’t tan in the winter, they rust. That raised a chuckle!
