• 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.

    Forever mystified by Can Am's lack of style...

    I own a 2018 F3-S with 50.000km/30.000mi and just had the transmission axle done in past August... It's kind of a big job, and I'm not feeling that confident about it... Being the F3, an 11 year old model with next to zero changes during that time and the fact that they have just come up for the...

    Do you know of any other Spyder/Ryker/Canyon YouTube channels?

    I’m based in Portugal, in Europe, and I run a website about my experience with the Spyder and the rides I take with it. I’ve created a section about YouTube channels predominantly dedicated to Spyders/Rykers, which I list here in no particular order: The Smoaks Vlog Greatrydes John and...

    Which AfterMarket fuel filter do you use for your F3?

    Important note, make sure you got appropriate clamps that will handle the pressure... I learned the hard way.

    2017 F3-L - How difficult is it to replace the front shocks?

    Easy job, look for 6:40 on Martin's video:

    Introducing myself and my 'Batmobile'.

    I can confirm there is no compressor nor air cushion for the F3-S rear shock... That's a feature only for the F3-T and RT. The stock suspension for the F3-S is a complete garbage (it seems spending nearly $30K is not enough to get you a decent suspension). BRP's does sell a stiffer "upgraded"...

    Can anyone confirm if BRP has used Different plastic materials for 2026 models?

    I think I've seen someone saying that BRP's has revised the plastic trims for 2026 models, to use something less prone to scratches... Can anyone confirm this? Not sure if I should wait for a 2026 model or go for 2025, since beside the circuit yellow color (which I'm not interested in)...

    Are there LED replacements for 2024 OEM Fog Lights?

    Well, I got the answer from Germany through Spyder Ven. Accessory lights are LEDs (at least for the European model) and have been since 2024, so it's all LEDs for the front and none for the rear... For legal reasons in Europe, the low beams in the central front light block are deactivated, and...

    Are there LED replacements for 2024 OEM Fog Lights?

    Actually, can anyone from Europe confirm that the OEM accessory lights (not the high beams) for 2024 and up are LED? In Europe, the accessory lights are used as the low beams for legal reasons...

    Introducing myself and my 'Batmobile'.

    Welcome and "un saludo" from Lisbon, Portugal... I've been in two meetings of the Spyder Club España, all lovely people there. For the rear suspension (and front if you feel it needs an upgrade) look for Shock Factory (French manufacturer, but will deliver anywhere in Europe). I've been riding...

    Are there LED replacements for 2024 OEM Fog Lights?

    They finally upgraded the fog lights to LED for 2026 model year... Guess we'll still have to wait more to upgrade the rear bulb lights :cautious:

    Has anyone seen or knows what frame color will come with the Monolith Black Satin F3's for 2026?

    Configurator for 2026 is up and I guess it answers my question... :cautious:

    Has anyone seen or knows what frame color will come with the Monolith Black Satin F3's for 2026?

    I know the color of the moment is Circuit Yellow for 2026, beautiful... but not for me. I've heard at BRP's event that there will be also a Monolith Black Satin for 2026, but no pictures of it. Has anyone seen one or know if they will drop that reddish frame? I'm thinking of replacing my 2018...

    Anyone other than BRP make a 2024 F3S Windshield? If not, why?

    If you are considering suppliers outside of the US here are two good options. Italian manufacturer: https://shop.isotta-srl.com/en/moto/can-am-20361/spyder-f3-2014.html French manufacturer...

    Is Removing the top trunk from an F3 Limited 2024+ as easy as the RT?

    I believe removing the top trunk for the F3 Ltd is a bit more difficult to do than for the RT. The RT has a single connector to undo, the F3 has the connector, plus the antenna, and a mass cable. I would love to known, now that there is no more external antenna, is it as easy as removing the...

    How much work is involved in replacing the brake switch?

    The brake switch assembly on the RT should be different, but I'll try to find some info about that. I've checked the brake rod/arm and it seems to operate normally. When taking my foot off the pedal, I don't hear the switch click and the light stays on. This happens especially if I remove my...

    How much work is involved in replacing the brake switch?

    Oh yes... and found nothing for the F3s.

    How much work is involved in replacing the brake switch?

    Hello. I've been having problems for a long time with a stuck brake switch (2018 F3) which is getting worse. Tried spraying some brake cleaner and lube with not much success. I've checked the maintenance manual and it seems there's some work involved. The right footrest support should come...

    Is there a Canisterectomy for the 1330 engine?

    Thanks guys... So I've ordered a new evap canister.

    Is there a Canisterectomy for the 1330 engine?

    Is this still a thing for the 1330 engine? I've seen a couple of posts and videos about disabling the evap canister on the twin 998 engine, but nothing really for the 1330. Around 30K miles and I'll be replacing the fuel filter so I might do the canister replacement or removal while I'm there...
