• 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 experiences have you had with Lithium Batteries?

    I have 2, 100 amp l2 volt lithium batteries in my travel trailer. They have a 10 year warranty, so considerably better than lead acid or AGM. Charge source for them is the truck alternator (which I doubt is set up for lithium batteries), my on board converter, which has a setting for lithium...

    Please, I need advice re Putting a Spyder on ramps?

    Hi Peter. I bought some plastic ramps at Canadian Tire while on sale, and have used them twice, once to remove my grille and most recently to change the oil and filter on my Spyder. I have a coarse concrete driveway, but chose to work inside the garage’s smooth floor, using a couple of old...

    I also pay about $1200 from BC, Canada for full coverage, such as $2 million liability. Similar coverage for my 2017 Subaru Forester Limited is about $800 per year.

    Recommend any everyday dust covers for F3?

    I use an old fitted sheet, when I remember. Works good with the elasticized corners.

    Does Driver Backrest Fit With Passenger Seat Cowl on 2015 F3-S?

    I have a 2019 F3 base model with the BRP drivers backrest. No issues with the rear cowl, and the rake of the backrest is adjustable, but it does not fold all the way down.

    Is there a LinQ rack to fit F3 base model?

    Hello: I won the new BRP Urban bag for the LinQ system. Of course, the base plate is available for the Ryker and some F3's, and RT models. I would like to see if a way can be devised to carry this bag on my F3 base. I can buy a rear rack, but have not seen a rear rack that has the LinQ...

    TricLed Sequential LED Turn Signals & Running Lights - Anyone else having issues??

    I installed mine, but excess wire above the upper A arms. I again removed fender to tuck wires up under fender, but may have been easier this time to remove wheels.

    First long trip on the F3

    We recently did a 1,500 mile trip on our Spyders. I bought a pair of dishwashing gloves. I had two pairs of motorcycle gloves, but once they got wet, it was uncomfortable. The waterproof dishwashing gloves worked well.
