• 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.

    Anyone else experiencing this Sprocket Noise or problem?

    ++++++++++++ The folks that got the pulley replaced under warranty are fortunate, as I was told at my first service last month, that the pulley was an ‘upgrade’, and not a warranty issue.

    New here, with 'new to me' 2015 F3-S & questions?

    I got the BRP backrest. I am in Canada, and high shipping costs to Canada from the US. Dealer also allowed 14 day return. It was expensive, but adjustable, and has a pin to prevent it from being stolen. I am now using a Tackform phone holder. It is solid. I got it from Motorcycle Dave, one...

    Belt Pressure - what is the manual spec?

    Dealer equated motorcycle chain to Spyder belt, where chain is adjusted frequently. I don’t think this is true. I may just buy the Kriket gauge, an oil change kit, and do the work myself. Thanks

    Belt Pressure - what is the manual spec?

    At 3000 miles, my F3 had its first service and the dealer adjusted the belt. I have bought ramps and will buy an oil change kit for next year to save the $400 dealer charge for service. If I buy the Kriket gauge, how often should I check it? Thanks, Rick

    What's this Whistling sound? 2021 F3-S

    Had my first service yesterday at 5,000 km. I was led to believe that belt tensioner or new white pulley would be a warranty item. It was not. BRP refers to these as upgrades. In addition to the first service, the dealer adjusted the belt tension. This was viewed as a possible solution to...

    Duffey Lake loop

    Eight of us from the Vancouver Island Spyder group took 7 Spyders (6 RT's, and my F3 base) from Vancouver Island to ride the 'Duffey Lake Loop'. This is a very popular route with motorcycles. We did the route in clockwise fashion, leaving from Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay, overnighting in Cache...

    Now or Wait Until Spring for First Oil Change?

    I am getting my first service next week, and it will sit for most of the winter with fresh oil in it. I agree with the above posts.

    Do OEM & A/mkt windshields for F3 use the same mounts?

    I am in Canada, and shipping fees from the US are expensive. I have ordered the Blue Ridge from my dealer, so no shipping fees. I hope I like it. BRP does not sell hardware for some of their accessories, as they want you to buy their product.

    What's this Whistling sound? 2021 F3-S

    I suggested the change to the white sprocket, but BRP requires that the belt tensioner be tried first.

    What's this Whistling sound? 2021 F3-S

    I too, have the whistling sound. I spoke to my dealer, and BRP has authorized the addition of a belt tensioner. Not sure if that is the solution. Rick

    Thinking of buying a 2021/22 F3

    I have 4,200 km on my F3, I bought in June. I added the BajaRon swaybar and links about 6 weeks ago and I feel the highway ride is more stable and better cornering. I am glad I did the upgrade. Rick

    Quadlock vs Ram X phone holder for handlebars

    I have an IPhone 12, and have been using the Ram mount since I bought the Spyder in June. I am going to try a Tackform. One the Tackform website, they caution using a phone mount with an IPhone 12. I contacted the vendor, and he indicated that the caution was directed at more off-road style...

    Where can I get a Mini bra for my 2020 F3t?

    Ok. Lamonster indicates it fits all F3 models. Sorry, I was lead to believe it should fit yours.

    Where can I get a Mini bra for my 2020 F3t?

    I recently installed a Hopnel mini-bra on my 2019 F3 base model. It is about $30 and is available at many online dealers. I believe it will fit the F3T. Rick

    Key broke, what are my options..

    I got the Ilco spare key; what do you mean by bevelling the key? Mine does not fit real well, so I am interested in what the bevel consists of. Thanks

    LED turn signals and now hyper flash

    I contacted Auxito about 1157 bulbs for my 2019 F3 base. Although not stated on their webpage, an e-mail from them indicated they were CANBUS enabled. I order two red led’s, and should have them in a couple of weeks. I will report back on how they work out. Rick
