• 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.

    Anyone put a Wrap on matte black? Successful or not?

    I exchanged text with the Wrap My Spyder folks. I asked if adding their Daytona Stripes to my matte black F3T would ruin the matte finish, or if there would be a problem with the stripes adhering to the paint. They told me that many people use their products on matte surfaces, However, they...

    Any new revelations concerning the parking brake not releasing issue?

    Have there been any new revelations concerning the parking brake not releasing issue? I just trailered my F3t back from North Carolina to Florida. Had to remove the spring and free the parking brake cable, to get it off my trailer. Usually when it won't release, I just shut off the engine and...

    Anyone tried Wrap my Spyder racing strips on a Matt Black finish?

    Has anyone used Wrap My Spyder racing stripes kit on a Matt black finish? I see the videos on a gloss finish. Are there any issues with the Matt finish? I’m thinking of gloss black stripes, maybe. If anyone has done this, and has a photo, I’d love to see it.

    Hard braking pulls right! Anyone else? Ideas?

    I've had a couple of recent instances where I've had to brake fairly hard. I noticed that when I did, the bike pulled hard to the right. Maybe it was something that I did, unconsciously, but am wondering if anyone else has experienced this. It certainly does stop well! I'd just hope it would...

    Kenda kanines?

    Has anyone had experience with the KR20 Kenda Kanine fronts, by this time? I thought that I read that a few people were trying them out. I haven't seen any follow ups, yet.

    Screeching fuel tank!!! Where is the vent?

    I've been hearing this embarrassing high-pitched screeching sound. I thought it was, maybe, a bearing in one of the cooling fans. It would continue for about 30 seconds after I turned off the engine. It was in the 90's today, here in Florida, and when I parked, I got down and tried to hear where...

    High pitched sound

    I am hearing a high pitched sound when riding. This sound continues for about 30 seconds or so after shutting off the engine. Does anyone know what that might be? Some kind of cooling fan? It is a 2018 F3T. (1330cc)

    Need some quick advice!

    I'm taking my F3T to NC this weekend, on my open utility trailer. I have a new Ultimate seat, which I don't want to get wet, if I run into a rain storm or two along the way. Since the seat is very easy to remove, I was thinking of popping it off and putting it in the back seat of my truck. Would...

    Look at my rear tire! Crazy!

    My OEM tire, after less than 9000 miles. Is this really how they wear? The outer tread is almost like new! That bald band through the center is 2-3 inches wide. (Sort of like my hair!) Should I risk another few hundred miles, or is this toast?

    Time for an oil & filter change - how best to raise my Spyder?

    I'm about 1000 away from the 9,300 mile oil change. With a trip to the mountains coming up next month, I don't know if I should change it before or after. At any rate, the dealer charged me $250 for my 3,000 mile change. I ordered an oil change kit, thinking to save $150 in labor. I've always...

    Luggage rack for F3t

    I was thinking of getting a simple luggage rack for my F3t. Looking at the usual suppliers, I can not believe the prices! What in the world is the justification for such high prices? Can't see it. Sort of like the prices on driver backrests. Crazy!

    Bottomed out

    I was backing off my trailer and this caught on the apex of the trail and the ramp. It bent down and I stopped. I could not shift into first gear, but I could shift into neutral and reverse. I pushed it back onto the trailer. Using a piece of wood, I levered it back up as far as I safely could...

    Can Am paint shows marks - any advice on removing them?

    I have a question about the paint jobs on Can Ams. I was watching a You Tube video showing the new 2020 Can Am RT. I noticed that the paint looked horrible, much like mine. Primarily the glossy panels. My Spyder is matt black, with some gloss black panels. The matt paint is fine, but the gloss...

    LAMonster Ultimate Floorboards

    May I ask, does anyone have these installed on their F3? I really like the looks of them, but I'm concerned about possible vibration, since there isn't the thick rubber buffer, between the frame and your feet, like stock pegs.

    BRP Connect

    Does anyone actually know how the heck BRP Connect works? I have a new 2018 F3t. I've downloaded BRP Connect on my iPhone. I get the app logos on the Spyder's screen. I bought the Genius Map app. It shows an overall route, but that's it. As I ride off, there's nothing showing on the screen that...

    Sticking "frunk" lid

    When I use the key to open the front cover of my F3T, it is not fully releasing. Does anyone know how to adjust the cable to allow the peg to fully release? I'm making sure I turn the key correctly. It releases, but not fully.

    Trailer size

    Has anyone trailered their F3t on a 5' x 10' utility trailer? (Or do I need to look at 6' wide trailers?)

    Towing recommendations

    I plan to tow my new Can Am f3T from Florida to Robbinsville, NC. In the past, I've towed my Gold Wing up there, and have a Stinger XL112 trailer, to do the job. Since I no longer have the Gold Wing, I'll need to sell the Stinger Trailer. Until I can do that, I don't want to buy a new trailer...
