• 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.

    Front pads replacement - what tools are needed?

    Also would it be OK to lift the the wheel by the lower suspension arm? Instead of lifting the whole front by the frame?

    Front pads replacement - what tools are needed?

    Thanks Mikey. From the videos I've seen on youtube: I'll need 21mn lug wrench for the wheels and a T30 Torx to remove the locking pin. Seems it can be done without removing the calipers so an Allen wrench might not be needed. What are the recommended tightening torques for the clip and the...

    Front pads replacement - what tools are needed?

    Going on a trip next week so I might replace the front pads as on one of the sides it should be around 1.5 and 2mm (rear was done recently at the dealer). EBC's FA630HH pads are on the way. What tools should I need beside the jack?

    F3-S belt adjustment

    Just got the krikit on the mail today. Pressure is exactly at 180lb-ft so I guess all is good now. Thanks everyone.

    F3-S belt adjustment

    Yes, I guest that's it. Mine twisted every time until well tightened. I've ridden a couple of miles today and I'm happy. Absolutely sure that it is like it was before. Belt very very close to the flange (not sure if there's even 1mm there) but I got it like that from the factory. Have to wait...

    F3-S belt adjustment

    Thanks, I've seen your method but didn't had straps with ratchets... In the end the bang, tight and repeat method worked all the way. I did remember and placed the wrench above and pushed it forward but strangely the axle always moved backward, maybe it was doing some kind of lever effect somehow.

    F3-S belt adjustment

    Well still no krikit, posting has been real slow because of the situation. So I still atempted doing some adjustment as I noticed the right adjuster was loose. So my thinking was if I just put it like it was maybe the whole thing goes like it was. I've undone the axle bang it a bit forward...

    F3-S belt adjustment

    Thanks, I'm planning spinning the wheel by hand. Having it running while up in the air does scares me. Have the correct size spanner still waiting for the krikit...

    F3-S belt adjustment

    Got a new tire and at the dealer. Mechanic was a nice guy but he just won't go into details. Everything was torqued on the feeling and when I asked him about the belt alignment I just got a "don't worry it will be right after some riding". I've stopped a few times on my way home (I'm about...

    Fitted an RT Sway Bar to my F3 - Works Great!

    Thank you. I've been listening to the news about how the virus is spreading in the EUA, very worrying situation. It's also spreading here but the curve has somehow flattened. I've been working from home since two weeks now, not allowed to go out since and now saying probably not until the end...

    Fitted an RT Sway Bar to my F3 - Works Great!

    Just to be sure. I've measured from the center of the wheel hub to the floor, that's about 10 inches. So from your measurements 15 inches would be the minimum height I'd need to lift the Spyder from the floor, is that right? Because I can get a pair of ramps with about 16 inches of height, and...

    Bajaron Sway Bar on 2020 RT

    Would lifting the wheels of F3-S to 18" (rear wheel on the floor) be enough to swap the bars? I think I can get some ramps with jacks that can lift the wheels up to that height. Thanks.

    2020 RT series are cool, but who's keeping their old Spyder

    A nice renewal of the RT, but not what I'm looking for at this times, only the F3-S ticks all the boxes for me.

    Loud shifting

    I'll second that. Close the throttle for downshifting, keep it open for upshifting.

    Loud shifting

    How loud is loud... Mine definitely is louder downshifting. I believe the first service is due at 3000mi (oil change). See: https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?128240-Questions-on-F3-S-tranny
