• 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.

    Brake light wiring issue

    For switchable power look under the passenger seat. You'll find two cables, one for each rear brake light. With the right superseal connectors you can actually build your own cable for splicing and plug it there without cutting or splicing any of the original cables. For power with engine...

    Curious Question About Touring (F3-S)

    I'm located in Europe, we have an good local manufacturer (UK and France based) which makes great shocks for the Spyder at a reasonable price. http://www.shock-factory.co.uk/ Their rear adjustable shock will cost around 395€ (about $450) There's also a front set for 700€ ($800)

    Curious Question About Touring (F3-S)

    Just got back from a 2000mi trip, F3-S, two up with the Shad side cases and it was great. Both have the same riding position (F3S and F3T and L). With the T and L you get an air bag to adjust the dreadful rear suspension. For two up my advice would be replace the rear shock anyway. Really weak...

    Pretty nifty jack you've got there, how high you've got the Spyder in the air?

    Red Dust.....Not

    Just thinking, would it help to spray a little ACF-50 on it?

    Squeaks and rattles

    They do squeak a bit... I know mine does. Got some squeaks on the front suspension and on the brakes, specially when in hot weather. The engine has a different sound when cold (specially on the left side). But I guess like any dry sump engine.

    1330 and Gas Mileage Review - What's yours? Anyone else tracking theirs?

    For anything than the sixth gear (which act as overdrive) I like to drive my F3S between 2000 to 3500rpm and shift above that. But lately I get the feeling mpg gets better keeping it above 3000-4000rpm... Could this be right? Or is it just my imagination? Average mpg is at 34.85mpg.

    Thank you guys, everyone has been very helpful. I think I'll go for the motorcycle formula.

    How many are using the ride on tyre sealant on their Spyder? Which formula (car or mortocycle) and dosage? Thanks.

    What would you choose? Spyder vs Ryker

    Completely different trikes, one is good for touring other is great for urban driving. Beside that, the relevant numbers (Spyder 1330 vs Ryker 900): 0-60mph: ~4.8s vs ~6s MPG: ~30-40mpg vs ~25-35mpg Coverage: ~249mi vs ~158mi Service: 9300mi vs 6000mi but then a base Spyder with a minimum set...

    Go Pro

    If your into high-end action camera, DJI will be hitting the action camera market soon (that might also be the last nail in GoPro's coffin). If your not in a hurry I would wait for their product... If your just looking for a nice and not so costly 4K action camera, look for the Yi brand, very...

    F3-S SE must haves???

    The stock rear shock is weak and not adjustable... I guess it's OK if you ride solo but not at all convenient for two up. For storage the SHAD side cases are one of the best options (robust, waterproof and will hold one large modular helmet each). Blueridge windscreen is OK but not 100%...

    Activating lowbeams for the F3 (Non US and CA models)

    European and Australian models are modified to comply with local general legislation. In Europe legislation will vary from country to country. Instead of customizing per country BRP adjusts the Spyder to the most restrictive laws and sells the same modified model across Europe. One of the...

    Is F3 two-up riding or Solo ?

    The frunk is not that spacious but it will hold a good size modular helmet there. Storage wise the SHAD side bags are the way to go. One of the reasons that made me choose the F3S over the F3T was the fact that the side cases of the T wheren't able to hold a full face helmet there. Each SHAD...

    Is F3 two-up riding or Solo ?

    F3S here since about 6 months, 70% of the time riding two up, all trips above 250mi. The trike is totally capable for two up ride. Except of course the rear shock which is a joke. Not adjustable and very bouncy (the tire hits the wheel arch very often). I've swapped mine almost after getting...

    It's the statue of (not an easy name) Abu Alcacim Amade ibne Huceine ibne Cassi. He was a sufist, political leader and king for a very short time of the Algarve Kingdom (nowadays the very South region of Portugal). It is said that he was of christian origins (because of the name Cassi which is...
