• 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 GPS?

    A vote for BRP Connect I've read all of the complaints about BRP connect, but personally, I've come to like and appreciate it. I have "Sygic Maps Premium Connected" downloaded to my phone and I it displays just fine on my instrument panel. My phone (Samsung Galaxy J3 -Android) is plugged in...

    Anyone tried an Oil extractor???

    Nope, easy-peezy. The MityVac has a built-in pour spout at the top making it real easy to dump into your used oil container.

    Anyone tried an Oil extractor???

    Just changed my oil yesterday. I use a MityVac 7400, almost a 2 gal capacity I think. I use the medium size hose, insert it into the dipstick tube all the way, give the MityVac about 6 or 7 pumps and it sucks out about 4 quarts in less than 5 minutes. Then I remove both drain plugs and the...

    Do the 19 f3t and the 19 f3 limited have the same exact rear sprocket.

    LED License Plate Light

    I am also interested in installing LED rear turn signals on my 2019 F3 Limited. Can anyone tell me what is involved in removing the rear signal housings on the F3 Ltd? Service manual says saddlebags must be removed - any truth to that?

    HowTo: Get the rear axel nut loose

    Thanks, that makes perfect sense. If I remember correctly, my 3/4" breaker bar is 24" I believe which should be plenty long enough. My 3/4" drive torque wrench is 34" long.

    HowTo: Get the rear axel nut loose

    Ok, I give up . . . I've got a 36mm box/open-end wrench but what's the reason you cut it in half ? (I've also got a 3/4" drive torque wrench with 36mm socket in my tool chest - breaker bar too). Obviously I haven't had the occasion to loosen my rear axle yet so this is useful information.

    The Elephant in My Room

    I’ve now been driving a Spyder since mid-January and can honestly say that I really enjoy it. The reasoning I used when I converted from two wheels to three is still valid and was a good decision. Can’t fall over, reverse gear, don’t have to muscle 950 pounds around anymore, etc. For a man my...

    2019 F3 illegal in the US?

    So you've gone and filed a complaint with the feds just because you think there's a problem with the position lights ? Do you think that just maybe some further investigation was warranted before doing this ? You've created a problem where there was none. Hard to believe . . . .

    2019 F3 illegal in the US?

    I agree. I guess I fail to see the point in all this, filing with the NHTSA :dontknow:

    Purchase Can-Am from private seller. Can seller declare $1000 to safe buyer sales tax

    Take a look at your Florida Certificate of Title. The seller must fill in the name and address of the buyer as well as the mileage on the vehicle when the title is transferred. Then the seller must sign the title attesting to the accuracy of the foregoing information. Enough said.

    F3 Drink Holder - Take a Look

    Needed a drink bottle holder for my F3 but didn't want a handlebar mount, been there-done that. Looked at the Lamonster unit, impressive but expensive - kudos to Lamont however. Having a mechanical engineering background it was no problem designing my own. Some of you may be interested. It...

    Factory Cruise Control . . Baaad JuJu !

    First, and with all due respect JC, don't tell me I was mistaken. I twisted the throttle all the way to full throttle and nothing. Second, took the bike out again today and surprisingly all was working as it should. Acceleration with the cruise set at 60mph worked fine. Don't know why. It...

    Factory Cruise Control . . Baaad JuJu !

    I should add that my Spyder was in the dealer just last month for the 20.8 firmware update. Any problems would have shown up in Buds at that time. I repeatedly tested the cruise this morning, both in ECO mode and standard mode. Same results, no acceleration when cruising. Other cruise...

    Factory Cruise Control . . Baaad JuJu !

    For what it's worth, I twisted the throttle all the way to full throttle, a number of times. NOTHING. I'll have it checked next time I'm at the dealer.

    Factory Cruise Control . . Baaad JuJu !

    Discovered a feature of the factory cruise control today which could have gotten me into trouble. Had the cruise set at 65mph on a four lane divided highway, in the right lane, coming up on slower traffic, needed to move into the left lane and pass, started to move over into the left lane...
