• 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.

    F3 suspension

    sneak pre-view Here's a shot of my new, installed custom shock sent me by the good folk at Cogent Dynamics. I dropped the F3-S off last weekend. By some miracle, they have me all ready to go, complete with remote (see silver knob in photo) pre-load adjuster, which will make softening the...

    F3 suspension

    whaddya need? After one 80-mile ride on the new to us F3-S, it was obvious that we were going to need some help with a better rear shock, as the stock one bottomed way too easily. Currently, my Spyder is in Asheville at a specialty suspension service I've used before on a couple of different...

    Question on my F3

    rpm's at start-up I find my F3's programmed to have a momentary fast idle, just as it fires up. Then it slows right back down to what one would expect. Different, as you say, from the RT. I also find the exhaust to be a good bit throatier than the RT. Any one else notice that? Pete

    AdMore LED lighting kit for Givi bag on F3-S -- wiring help needed

    close, but no cookie Bob: I appreciate the assistance, and get the basic concept. However, the AdMore cable I am connecting has SIX wires in it, and in it the purple one is the brake light function; there's both a red and blue, which AdMore says go to a common 12V feed connection. I...

    New frame F3s

    Obtaining "frame piece" Mike: How does one go about getting this "frame piece" from BRP? I can see the dumb looks already when I go into my friendly CanAm dealer and ask for a frame piece. For free. Please ignore the pic in my sig; I'm the proud owner of a 2015 F3-S, and I'm not looking...

    New frame F3s

    pictures Pictures would be extremely useful in this instance. If we don't have the "recall cover," we don't know what it looks like, and "under the seat" covers a lot of territory (or at least under MY seat it does!). Thanks.

    AdMore LED lighting kit for Givi bag on F3-S -- wiring help needed

    I have a full-function (tail, stop and turn lights) LED lighting kit by AdMore installed in a Givi top box I've mounted on my F3-S. These supplement the stock lights, adding considerable conspicuity to the rear of the trike. System worked great when installed on a motorcycle previously. I'm...

    Spyder vs Bike In The Comfort Stakes.

    bike vs Spyder for comfort? Everybody's "comfort" is different. M'lady and I put in 600-mile days easy enough on our Suzuki 650 V-Strom (Corbin seat), but are pretty well done after 300 miles on the RT-Limited (also with a Corbin, plus swaybar and F4 windshield). We've down-sized to an F3-S...

    I need a rack.

    mblinnovations rack for the F3's I went with Maurice's rack (mblinnovations) because it fits with both BRP passenger back rest and Cross Country saddlebags. Came today and -- boy! -- is it a stout piece of tack! I plan to mount a 52 liter Givi box, and have no doubts it's up to the task...

    F3 suspension

    2-up on stock shock . We've just acquired a 2015 F3-S with unmodified, original rear shock. Solo, I didn't feel the suspension bottom out once during my three hour ride home with the new toy. However, my good times gal and I weigh in at about 330 combined. It doesn't take too much of a dip...

    Original warranty transferrable to a second owner?

    Can anyone answer with certainty if the 2-year warranty that came with a new 2015 F3-s automatically transfers to a second (or third) subsequent owner? Is any paperwork at time of resale necessary, or does the VIN stay in BRP records and run till time expires, regardless of ownership?

    Chauvinistic Pig?

    OK to sit? At the last campground, just as we were unloading the Spyder from the trailer, three young boys came riding past on their bikes. One of them immediately asked if he could "get on it." Jackie looked him right in the eyeballs and told him definitely not. Something about him indicated...
