• 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.

    Are you a Sea-Foam User?

    A guy I knew poured automatic transmission fluid down the carb, almost to the point of choking the engine. Significant smoke! I fill up the bike with non-ethanol fuel at end of season and add Seafoam to the tank.

    Clearing up my Shad questions… what do I need for my F3?

    It was asked a few days ago if the Shad saddlebags come with a cylinder for the likes of Shad 58x top case. The image above was included with my original purchase, so it seems I could have three Shad bags/case, keyed alike. Rick

    Turning key, I apply light downward pressure on the cowl, and it then detaches from the pin.

    Clearing up my Shad questions… what do I need for my F3?

    BRP sells the Shad mount and the SH36 bags. I bought both, so don’t know if you can use the Can-Am mount. Bike looks ok with BRP mounts, in my opinion. Sorry, image is reversed. I am probably going to buy the SH58X top case as well. There was a bag of parts with the SH36 bags, I will check...

    Are there any Mirror stiffeners for an F3-S?

    Mine have vibrated from the start. Seems worse with higher speed. I wonder if it comes from vibrations from the drive belt?

    Is SHAD Top Master compatible with OEM SHAD side case racks?

    I have the Shad side cases, and the same rear rack as you. What Shad top case did you install, and any fitment issues with the rear rack? Thanks, Rick

    F3S needs Hard Side Bags - are BRP Shad bags the way to go?

    If you are interested, you can replace the silver coloured bag reflectors with red ones. I did, plus added the admore light kit - red running and brake light, and yellow for signals.

    My New F3S is finally home!

    Sorry to hear. My Schuberth large C3 helmet with comms fit in my SH36 saddlebag, as did my LS 2 helmet. I did add the lidlok, as when on overnight tours, I use my saddlebags for personal gear. Rick

    Anyone heard any Rumors on 2024 Spyders, All models?

    Was at my dealership today. They were having an electrical plug-in installed. 2 wheel electric bike about this time next year, and probably firstly an electric Ryker, followed by an electric F3. This was according to dealer

    F3S needs Hard Side Bags - are BRP Shad bags the way to go?

    I bought Shad saddlebags and brackets when bike was new. I got them when BRP had a sale on, so a bit of a discount. I am pleased with them. They hold my modular helmet with comms attached. I bought a light kit from Admorelighting, and also replaced the factory reflectors with red ones...

    HowTo: Add additional storage using BRP LINQ accessories

    Rear rack mod for Linq accessories I won a BRP Urban backpack last year at the Ryde the Rock event here on Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. It is designed with over the shoulder straps or the Linq system. My base model F3 didn't come with a rear rack, so I bought one. My local Can-Am dealer...

    Madstad windshield for Ltd - close to perfect for me!

    McRuss - I am 5'11" and have been riding with my 20" Madstad all the way up, and at a slight rear arc. With my visor of my Shuberth modular helmet up, I sense no wind noise up to about 45 mph. At 50 mph and great with visor down, I get wind noise. If I lean forward, less noise. I wonder if I...

    2018 F3L gas gauge doesn't always read full after filling?! Anyone else? Fixes?

    Recently, my fuel gauge started acting erratic. Filled fuel, fuel gauge showed full, climbed a hill, and gauge showed 3/4, but I had only ridden about 12 miles. I use my odometer, but dealer is going to replace the fuel pump/sending unit assembly.

    Anyone else a loner and not a group rider?

    My wife has no interest in any motorcycle, so I ride by myself. Most of my biking group have employment, so only available weekends. As such, I often ride solo. I do appreciate the overnight trips with a group, but I would prefer to travel during the week with less traffic and lines at...

    Any idea where to get Shad hardware for F3?

    When I ordered my Shad bags for my F3, I also ordered the mounting brackets from BRP. No sure if you can buy individual parts from the mounting brackets.
