• 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 your F4 Customs Windshield any better than Stock? For Pillion too?

    Before you try another windshield try adding an Xcreen type deflector to the existing windshield.

    American Buffalo

    Came across that the other night, didn't have time to watch it so I set it to record the series. Glad to hear it's pretty good. I've liked Ken Burns' work so far. I remember learning about the buffalo jump hunting method back in US History in high school. Back in the 70's lol...

    A visit from a member here from Conn. tomorrow

    I'll start off my write-up first with many thanks to Mike for offering to host me. It was very generous of him and greatly appreciated! As a bit of background I like to do an occasional single day mega solo ride to get to the scenic or fun areas not normally reachable with a group. It's...

    2018 F3T will not downshift automatically - any ideas?

    I had that exact problem. Posted about it last year. The clutch basket central nut came loose over time. Dealer took it apart and fixed it in one day. It's been perfect ever since. https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/showthread.php?150902-1330-SE6-Clutch-engagement-at-idle-problem

    The frequent lament of "they said my Spyder was not a real motorcycle!"

    I don't care either I just say "You're right, it's a different animal. It's safer and still a lot of fun!"

    Any feedback re F3-S with SlingMods tri-case setup versus F3 Ltd?

    I went with the F3-S SS and added aftermarket Viking saddle bags. But if you go with the Shad bags they are much larger and hold more than the side bags on the F3-L. For 2-up riding you will need to upgrade the rear shock and spring.

    Were You in the Group of Spyders on US-20 in Central Massachusetts June 11th?

    It wasn't me but it could have been one of the area US Spyder Ryders groups. Check out US Spyder Ryders Blackstone Valley group. They're pretty active. https://www.facebook.com/groups/usspyderryders.blackstonevalley

    Email from BRP about Horsepower for Ski-Doos - why not Spyders too?

    I think 200 HP would be a bit too much for the single rear wheel Spyders. It would spin out too easily. But 150 HP would be great!

    Is it possible to do a DIY reflash on an F3?

    Yes you can do it yourself with the Monster tunes. But it requires purchasing the MyGenius device along with the tunes. The airbox lid is easy to modify with a 1 inch hole saw. I bought a spare airbox lid and cut the holes in it myself. Monster sent me the Stage 1 and Stage 2 tunes along...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Spring refresh. In the last week, I've tightened the front shock springs a bit, replaced the rear tire with another Vredestein Quatrac, and while I had it apart installed new brake pads, serviced the front sprocket. Also did an oil change.

    Are there any cheaper brake linkage rods out there?

    I have a position 4 rod that you can have for free. Just cover the shipping cost. PM me with your info.

    What's the best music app to use in phone and listen to in a Sena?

    I use Spotify, Amazon Music or Sirius XM. I usually play albums or a motorcycle song list that I've previously downloaded onto the phone so I don't worry about no cell service.

    Heading for a new record of sorts - 2 Can Ams in 2 days!

    Here in Connecticut I see a Spyder or Ryker almost every time I go out. Not uncommon at all.
