• 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.

    Here's my Can-Am-pedia - I hope it helps to collect and share info about the Can‑Am On-Road universe.

    Updated the section with the instrumentation. Seems the 4.6" display was installed on the Ryker AND the F3 base, I believed that it was exclusive to the Ryker, guess I was wrong. Here's a video from a 2023 F3 base (last year for the base version by the way).

    Here's my Can-Am-pedia - I hope it helps to collect and share info about the Can‑Am On-Road universe.

    Thanks, you are right, should be F3. I've corrected this and updated the descriptions, I believe the gauge cluster was used up until 2018 on the F3/F3-S, except F3-S sold outside USA which came with the hybrid cluster from 2018 (mine is a 2018 and has it)... If someone could confirm this.

    After some searching it's listed on BRP's website. Support for BRP GO! is still coming. https://can-am.brp.com/on-road/us/en/discover-can-am/connectivity/10-25-display.html

    Here's my Can-Am-pedia - I hope it helps to collect and share info about the Can‑Am On-Road universe.

    Thanks! I really thought BRP Connect/GO was fully supported for navigation… From what I’ve been able to find out (I own a 2018, so no big screen for me), there is native navigation in the instrument cluster, but it’s very basic. I believe a significant update is coming this Spring to enable...

    Here's my Can-Am-pedia - I hope it helps to collect and share info about the Can‑Am On-Road universe.

    For a few years now I’ve been maintaining a personal blog about travel routes (mostly in Portugal and Spain), a Can‑Am Spyder logbook, and other related information. There’s a section called Can‑Am‑pedia, which is essentially a very detailed collection of information (history, models, specs...

    Forever mystified by Can Am's lack of style...

    I think they'll have to update the F3 first, 11 years no changes, it's past due.

    Anyone else get this Howling Noise? What's the fix?

    Didn't came with one... I've installed one from Lamont's with the upgraded roller, didn't make a change... Removed it since, because I wasn't liking the marks it left on the belt.

    Need Guidance on Replacing the very bottom front Plastic Piece on a '22 F3 - anyone done this and what is involved?

    Just a reminder Spyderpop's bumpskid is great (had one in my F3-S 2018) but it will not work with the SS grille which is the one in the picture of the first post. Here's the SS grille:

    Anyone else get this Howling Noise? What's the fix?

    Been riding with this noise (mine is at 44mph) since forever (32K miles now) on my F3-S... I'm convinced this is related with the belt tension and it's some kind of harmonic noise... I've added a belt tensioner with no significant improvement.

    Do you know of any other Spyder/Ryker/Canyon YouTube channels?

    Thanks I will check them. Oh, and it's a nice youtube channel you've got there... Good work.

    Forever mystified by Can Am's lack of style...

    I own a 2018 F3-S with 50.000km/30.000mi and just had the transmission axle done in past August... It's kind of a big job, and I'm not feeling that confident about it... Being the F3, an 11 year old model with next to zero changes during that time and the fact that they have just come up for the...

    Do you know of any other Spyder/Ryker/Canyon YouTube channels?

    I’m based in Portugal, in Europe, and I run a website about my experience with the Spyder and the rides I take with it. I’ve created a section about YouTube channels predominantly dedicated to Spyders/Rykers, which I list here in no particular order: The Smoaks Vlog Greatrydes John and...

    Which AfterMarket fuel filter do you use for your F3?

    Important note, make sure you got appropriate clamps that will handle the pressure... I learned the hard way.

    2017 F3-L - How difficult is it to replace the front shocks?

    Easy job, look for 6:40 on Martin's video:

    Introducing myself and my 'Batmobile'.

    I can confirm there is no compressor nor air cushion for the F3-S rear shock... That's a feature only for the F3-T and RT. The stock suspension for the F3-S is a complete garbage (it seems spending nearly $30K is not enough to get you a decent suspension). BRP's does sell a stiffer "upgraded"...

    Can anyone confirm if BRP has used Different plastic materials for 2026 models?

    I think I've seen someone saying that BRP's has revised the plastic trims for 2026 models, to use something less prone to scratches... Can anyone confirm this? Not sure if I should wait for a 2026 model or go for 2025, since beside the circuit yellow color (which I'm not interested in)...

    Are there LED replacements for 2024 OEM Fog Lights?

    Well, I got the answer from Germany through Spyder Ven. Accessory lights are LEDs (at least for the European model) and have been since 2024, so it's all LEDs for the front and none for the rear... For legal reasons in Europe, the low beams in the central front light block are deactivated, and...

    Are there LED replacements for 2024 OEM Fog Lights?

    Actually, can anyone from Europe confirm that the OEM accessory lights (not the high beams) for 2024 and up are LED? In Europe, the accessory lights are used as the low beams for legal reasons...

    Introducing myself and my 'Batmobile'.

    Welcome and "un saludo" from Lisbon, Portugal... I've been in two meetings of the Spyder Club España, all lovely people there. For the rear suspension (and front if you feel it needs an upgrade) look for Shock Factory (French manufacturer, but will deliver anywhere in Europe). I've been riding...

    Are there LED replacements for 2024 OEM Fog Lights?

    They finally upgraded the fog lights to LED for 2026 model year... Guess we'll still have to wait more to upgrade the rear bulb lights :cautious:
