• 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.

    Is this Belt Noise from Left side of engine normal? Goes away when warmed up?

    Totally normal. Mine does it and I think all are doing it, still more noticeable on some then others. It has been described as marbles jumping around inside and I believe it may have to do with the engine having a dry sump.

    Is this Belt Noise from Left side of engine normal? Goes away when warmed up?

    Have that also and on my second pulley (a white one). I would suspect it's rather related to somekind of harmonic vibration of the belt. Maybe lowering the tension might help I've got mine set to the recommended 180lbs/ft.

    Finally got Spyderpop's Bumpskid installed!

    Front of the Spyder was a little beat up mostly from going too fast over speed bumps. I finally got Spyderpop's bumskid from Martin's shop (I'm located in Europe). Instalation took a bit more of effort than as per instructions as I had to dismantle the grill, grill frame and some plastics...

    What's this Whistling sound? 2021 F3-S

    180 measured with the krikit, might try to lower that a bit and see if it gets better.

    What's this Whistling sound? 2021 F3-S

    Had the old sprocket, a bit noisy but no whistling. Had the Red Dust so I replaced it with the new white one. Now I have a noticeable "swissh" sound which seems to be much louder than before. Installed the belt tensioner but still have the same "swissh". So for me the black sprocket was...

    Another one bytes the dust... Front Sprocket Failure - Red Dust!

    Over 1500km/930mi later... Checked the sprocket a couple of times markings seem to be at right place. Might be me... Not sure what BRP did with this new sprocket but for me the previous sprocket seemed to run quieter... Had no whistle before and this new sprocket seems to swoosh more that the...

    Brake light switch mechanism sticking

    I don't think there is any return spring for the F3 it seems it might be the switch failling...

    Brake light switch mechanism sticking

    Just noticed yesterday when I parked the F3 the brake light was on. Seems it's not the switch but rather the mechanism that is sticking sometimes. Anything I should lubricate to avoid this? Thanks.

    Another one bytes the dust... Front Sprocket Failure - Red Dust!

    OK ridden about 300km/186mi with the new sprocket and here are my thoughts. Seems to shift quieter... just a little bit. There's kind of a swoosh when coasting. Didn't noticed any shudder. I'll check the markings on the sprocket later to see if there's any movement but all seems right now :)

    Cleaned, lubed and torqued to recommended 111lb/ft (I'll still mark the sprocket and bolt to check if there's any movement). Belt tension seems to not have changed and still at 180lb/ft Was actually an easy job... Just need to ride it now and see if all seems normal. Thanks everyone for...

    Is there any special alignment with the shaft it should have? Can't see any markings on the shaft but the sprocket seems to have some markings.

    So one month later it was finally delivered. Now I just need some time to put all back in place. Thanks for the help.

    Amsoil + oil at mid level = shudder?

    Interesting I'll check with my dealer if there are any updates for mine. Also I think I'm gonna fill a bit more to see if it gets better.

    Sorry forgot to mention, Amsoil Metric 10W40.

    Amsoil + oil at mid level = shudder?

    Still waiting for the new front sprocket, meanwhile I've noticed a shudder at take off that I believe I had not before my recent oil change. It's not really noisy or bumpy (not sure even if I should call it shudder) just seems the throttle is not responsive for a couple of seconds and it's...

    LED turn signals and now hyper flash

    Have a 2018 F3-S (Euro model) and the Lamonster method worked with mine. The trick should work with all Spyders with BUDS... I believe from 2019 and + the system has been upgraded to BUDS2 and you'll need resistors with it. Could be yours is a late 2018 model which got the BUDS2, mine has a...

    A little help for one man - need front sprocket advice?!

    Located in Europe also (Portugal). I'm going with M-77 moly paste from Honda (let me known if you wish to know where I ordered it from) instead of the kluberpaste. You'll need to replace the bolt, once it's removed it shouldn't be reused. Still waiting for the new sprocket to be delivered...

    Took the old sprocket out... Thank God it went out nicely after applying a bit of WD-40. Axle is good and the sprocket teeth's don't seem to be that bad also, but I'm guessing after the red dust comes it should go south quickly... So now I'm concerned about that accelerator slipping I...
