• 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.

    Recommend anyone for a Sway Bar Install In So Cal?

    The ramps that I was looking at would give only 15 inches of lift (from the base of the wheels) so I won't get the job done with these. Will have to look for some another solution. Thank you for the reply!

    2018 F3S rear seat loose

    Could it be this? https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?117562-Passenger-seat-not-fitting-properly-(MY2018) The MY2018 passenger seat seems to be adjusted very loose from factory.

    F3 Front Sprocket Inspection

    Yep... I'll second that... Where all the fellows of the Old Continent can check their VIN number?

    Recommend anyone for a Sway Bar Install In So Cal?

    Have the sway bar but still haven't installed yet... I understand you need 22 inches of clearance to swap the bars, but if lifting the front by the wheels with ramps how high would the ramps needed to be?

    Best saddlebags for 2015 F3-S

    The SHADS are very nice and the mounts are barely noticeable when you take them off. Being able to store a modular face helmet was one of the reason I opted for the F3S instead of the F3L (which won't any on the integrated side cases). That and the "bobberish" look of the rear end that I love...

    Power steering question

    Ah... Might have to do with that then, which makes sense. Thanks guys!

    Power steering question

    How does it work while idling? Because sometimes I feel it's there and other times not (F3S MY2018)... Might have to do with the type of floor... It's clearly assisted when I'm maneuvering on the garage (epoxy floor) and seems I can't move it while on tarmac.

    Passenger seat not fitting properly (MY2018)

    Yes, BRP technical support sent me to the dealer. Which should be the normal procedure, nothing strange there. Had already discussed this with the dealer which looked at it and said everything was in place and secured. I did "fixed" it myself after talking with another Spyder owner (see my...

    Passenger seat not fitting properly (MY2018)

    Well I finally found the fix... Actually it was not me a member of the Spyder french fb group who pointed me to the solution. Seems it's was a lack of factory adjustment of the locking "peg" (not sure if that's the correct name in english). Mine needed to go a little bit further so the seat...

    Passenger seat not fitting properly (MY2018)

    Spyder is not cheap at all, everyone would agree with that... But then again quite an exclusive and unique vehicle in it's kind and I guess this reflects in the price tag and that's what we are all paying for. I've previously own several japanese and european bikes and all had design flaws...

    How many miles do you have on your Spyder?

    F3S MY2018 (picked up on September). Ride it only for leisure... About 3800mi now (no off season here).

    Passenger seat not fitting properly (MY2018)

    I would encourage you to do so (and others who have noticed it). The more the reports, the easier it should be to track the issue and have a fix for this. Not sure but having the passenger switch right bellow, could be a security matter.

    Passenger seat not fitting properly (MY2018)

    Hi. Passenger seat seems to be misplaced since day one (MY2018) First I thought it may needed some kind of settling, but I frequently ride 2 up and after 6000km (3800mi) it's exactly the same. Seat is securely locked and can't be removed without unlocking. Noticed that a small spring (not...

    N2, from North to South - Portugal, EU

    Right after getting the Spyder I we went on this ride which crosses the country from North to South through a single road, the N2 (or National nº2). We do like to call this road "our" Route 66, but it's a lot shorter (about 738km/458mi) and probably with a lot more "twisties". We've done it on...
