• 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.

    Finally! Take delivery after Labor Day. ECO Mode any good?

    The only time I use Eco mode is in slow stop and go traffic.

    Anyone experimented with Windshield extensions?

    Ditto with the MRA X-Creen. 2 years and over 23,000 miles now still going strong. Cured the buffeting with the Blue Ridge windshield and now I'm using it with a Madstad windshield.

    Front Wheel Balance and Balance Beads

    I tried the balance beads when I got my new Quatracs last year and they just didn't work well. Found out that the Quatracs don't have a smooth inner surface and the beads stick all over, not leaving enough loose beads to give enough balance. It maybe could have been fixed by using even more...

    Waterproof helmet bag needed

    I've had this Sealine waterproof duffel bag for several years now. I use it in the winter for snowmobile "backpack" trips. High quality, durable, will easily fit a helmet. I used it for a week long trip to Nova Scotia in June...

    SPYDER F3-S SPECIAL SERIES - pre-purchase questions?

    If you're getting a brand new F3-S SS, you will need to plan on getting a windshield as it only comes with a little gauge spoiler. Also get a set of middle pegs - makes it so much easier to mount and dismount the bike. And if you weigh more than 175 pounds I recommend an aftermarket rear...

    I'll use my Ram mount as EZ pass holder - what do you use?

    I'm going to have to research re-registering my vehicles with EZ Pass now in either MA, NH or ME. I originally did it in NY a long time ago because I used to travel to NY and NJ quite frequently for work. But since I retired in June, I really don't go into NY that much anymore but I travel up...

    When and where was the first time you rode a Can-Am tryke ??

    I ordered my 2020 F3S SS without ever having tried one. I'm a snowmobile guy so I just knew I would enjoy it. The 3 wheel class was originally scheduled for the month before delivery. But that was March of 2020 - right when everything was shut down because of Covid. The class got delayed a...

    I'll use my Ram mount as EZ pass holder - what do you use?

    I have NY EZ Pass. I have about 7 vehicles registered but only have 4 transponders. I don't use the transponder on the Spyder. What happens now is when you go through a toll and no transponder is detected, the cameras record your license plate number and if it's registered with EZ Pass then...

    Loud first gear change - is the clunk normal?

    Belt Tensioner, use it or do not use it?? What’s y’all opinion on that.

    My 2020 F3S came with the OEM dampener. It failed at about 9,000 miles and shredded the belt. My dealer covered it and the belt under warranty. I got the Lamonster improved roller but decided not to install it at the time - with the idea that there is one less thing to fail. Belt tension set...

    Vibration at steady speeds, 65mph +

    No you shouldn't feel much vibration. My Spyder is smooth as silk except for a little belt vibration sometimes at 74 mph.

    First time out in the rain on my Quatrac's

    I've got the new Quatrac's on my F3S since last year. I have about 7,000 miles on them now. Excellent traction, smooth ride and great wet road and hydroplaning performance. I've found that below 18 psi on the fronts they feel too soft on the sidewalls on hard corners. Same thing on the rear...

    Is the extended warranty from BRP a good value?

    I'm not big on paying for extended warranties on appliances or "home warranties" or automobiles for that matter. But I have had some policies in the past. It is a gamble though and I've had some pay off and some not. For the Spyder the $671 for 3 yr BEST warranty I think is reasonable and I've...
