@G-Force_70 The best way to find out the rated amperage for the lines is by purchasing a service manual for your specific year. They will come with wiring diagrams and that information. They are not expensive either. Another way is to look at your fuse box and see what size fuse is in that location. What size the fuse is will typically be what you see out of that line. Hope this helps! "This is the way"

Thank you for watching! If your looking specifically for oil change I have a video on that as well. Hope they help!

@jacoblynch9862 Thanks for the comment and watching! I was hoping that this video would help more in understanding the wording on the tire and help others be better prepared when purchasing their next one. A lot of people just rely on getting the same thing they have because they don't know better. I do wish there was more motorcycle rated tires to choose from for the Spyder than what there is. Me personally, I would never put a car tire on anything motorcycle but do understand why others do to save a few dollars.

@@rafasales2254 thank you!

@@rafasales2254 thank you! A gift from an awesome person helped with the camera angles!

@bruceheimbigner9587 most good shops do change that filter with an oil change. I can't believe that the old manuals don't talk much about it though. Enjoy the "new" Spyder and thanks for watching!

I'll remove the HCM and see if I can dump the .2 liter of oil out of it.

@@bruceheimbigner9587 comment back with what you find. I am curious to know

@howardfrantz4967 thank you for that. I have been very happy with them so far. No issues or odd things about them.

@drkennedy611 you most likely won't notice any driving issues until you start going 85 mph and up around curves. Even then it will be slight unless it's raining. What kind of tires are you riding on??

You are definitely having electrical issues. Just on what you said it could be several things. Please take it to a can am dealer so they can hook it up to a computer. That will actually be the cheapest start for trouble shooting. It could be something as simple as a bad ground wire on the chassis to a bad key or ECU. If someone just worked on it and removed a ground that could cause these issues. I am hoping it will be a cheap fix for you!! The way you describe it acting sounds like a chassis grounding issue but not sure.

@@MOABMAN You got any more tips possibly on where to start if I can’t get it to a dealer but have a mechanic who can check it out?

If you have after market items that were wired into the bike, i would start there for sure and make sure they are wired correctly and not causing an issue. Older Spyders (2015 and older) did not like aftermarket parts sometimes. If not that .. What I would check first is the main Chassis ground along with other main grounds. Clean the area around and underneath it well. When reconnecting, make sure it is tight and clean underneath for a good connection. Use a lock washer if you can, too. Visually inspect the wires for breaks, melts, or cuts. During a recall fix, the dealership half ..... put the ground back on. I rode home and the next day it had various VSS faults like what you said and acted like the battery was dying. I just replaced the battery, and knew it wasn't that, so started looking and found it was the Ground. Even though it looked connected, it wasn't. This was causing shorts on everything since it was a main ground. If it is not a can-am dealer, I would buy a service manual that shows all the wiring and share with them. After that, start checking each code issue one by one. Do not do all at once and be thorough when checking it. If it is multiple issues (like what you were saying), I always list everything and research prices. Then I start with the cheapest first and most expensive last, hoping it will be a cheap fix. I hope this helps and feel for you. It is not pleasant to have your bike down and be worrying about costs too! Feel free to keep asking as you go along..... I will try to help the best I can. If you don't want to keep doing this by comments please feel free to email me at: moab.man@yahoo.com I will do what I can to help.

@PSPTommyG thank you for noticing the camera work. It wasn't easy strapping a go pro to an ant but it worked out!

@@MOABMAN

@garyoconnor8247 I am super happy with them and if you purchase hope they work well for you also. Here is the Amazon link and let me know if you have problems looking it up. RhinoGear 11909RCMI 4 Piece RhinoRamp Vehicle Ramp Pair (12,000lb. GVW Capacity) and Wheel Chock Pair Bundle a.co/d/0EooPus

I tried several things and that just seemed to work the best for me. They were just thin enough.

@@MOABMAN sounds perfect!

Me too!

@hughwelsh201 Thank you for the comments and pretty cool to get one from New Zealand!!!! I have loved getting the comments from this video. I knew going into it that it is such a touchy subject with everyone. I do have to say that I am always amazed at how many people put car tires on a regular 2 wheel motorcycles though, i never could mentally. My main goal of the video was not to say do or don't but to supply knowledge of the ratings, numbering system, and info that is on the tire so someone would have a better understanding of what to buy for their needs or wants. I hope it helps someone. Thank you for including what you ride on as well!

Thank you for that! With the ATV jack, having two spots to lift with make all the difference in the world.

@kdub607 the tricky part of the ATV lift is finding one that has the ability to lift the Spyder weight wise. Most of the "motorcycle" lifts have too small of a weight limit.

@MichaelBrown-np1kc Thank you so much! I worked hard on this one to make something boring seem interesting, so I appreciate that!

@davidbergewaytogo Thank you for that and glad you liked. My knowledge is for US models only so I hope I give you the correct info. The connectors that you are asking about are called JST-SM. They are all called the same but you just need to add whether it is 2 pin (2P), 3 pin (3P), etc. The pin refers to how many wires the connector is for. I also want to mention that there are other connectors that are called automotive waterproof connectors. These usually have a rubber type gasket on them. Hope this is what you needed to know!!

@n6dl321 Thank you for watching and awesome comment!! I would love to have the type of stand the dealers have, but the pockets are a little "shallow" nowadays! I was grateful for the ATV jack when the wife bought it for me as a gift one Xmas. It was a huge difference and help from the floor jack I always had.

@@PurpleOnThree thank you! You can tell I'm watching too many nature shows nowadays!😃

@@MOABMAN 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@guitarzan0515 thank you for watching. I have been so busy with life I haven't had much time to check on your videos. I am hoping to catch up on some soon!

@@MOABMAN no worries, I’m not that exciting anyhoo😆

@guitarzan0515 I beg to differ! We are who we are and I enjoy your videos very much!!! You don't juggle or dance, but you have fun jammin!!!!! And for that alone you are a joy to watch!

Thank you for that! I had a little struggle trying to make something so basic, entertaining.

@kellyspann9845 Thank you for watching and support. When riding 2 wheels I never risked it because of the sidewalls but on a trike I do see why people put them on. There is not the same type of lean that you have on 2 wheels so less risk. I do wish there were more selections of motorcycle tires for the Spyder to choose from.

@@MOABMAN There is a different feel and lean when you have one on a motorcycle but it is something you get use to very quick. A motorcycle tire is more rounded and made of a softer compound because you lean a motorcycle in a turn where a car is more flat and why they work better on a Spyder like you said. There is no risk and all it comes down to is do you want to change a tire every 7k or 30k miles or more. They are perfectly safe. I tell people if you don't feel comfortable then just don't do it.

Oddly enough I took my own advice and changed my life this year!! I am working towards the Ferrari though, maybe in about a 100 years I will get one.

@ricardopryor605 thank you for watching and comment. I wouldn't say 50cc scooter.... more like 60cc scooter.🙂. After riding all the Ryker models I completely understand why everyone trades up to a Spyder shortly after getting one. I love the looks of them and how you sit in them a lot, but for me there was more cons than pros. I tried very hard not to completely bash it in this video as I understand a lot of people like theirs.

​​@@MOABMAN60cc!! I will take that as a win! 😊. If I had Spyder money, I would jump on that bandwagon in a nanosecond. I enjoyed your video. Except for the part that 600cc are for children.

@ricardopryor605 thank you for watching and being kind in the comments. I originally wanted to get a Ryker last year and was so disappointed. This video took a long time for me to do honestly because I tried to set my feelings aside and be not biased. I probably failed but hope that I gave an honest review as much as possible. I do understand why people get the Ryker and hope that you have enjoyed yours with no issues too! Thanks for the support and kindness!!

On page 24 of your manual it shows that there is a fault code section under settings BUT......... From what I understand of Rykers this option will only appear if you have a fault. So if it is not showing be grateful that you are one of the lucky few who got a Ryker with no issues as that is rare! Are you showing "fault" or limp mode codes on your dash?

Here is a link to part 1 video that talks about it. Part 2 will go into even more detail. Part 1: th-cam.com/video/RcntZVI5NDU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=T0TV7PaUsyNbFhy7 Part 2 link: th-cam.com/video/jBUYhgXBm08/w-d-xo.htmlsi=RiqjinD2VQ6CJWGu Just so you know, a good Spyder maintenance shop will replace this filter every time for you when you do an oil change. If you have them service it ask if they replace it. Believe it or not the shop i go to changes it every time they do an oil change. Hope this helps and thanks for checking out the channel.

Awesome idea and thanks for sharing. That thing is such a pain in the butt and especially if you dont know about it!

@@MOABMAN I know, most people force the reservoir off and damage the back side of it. By simply replacing the short factory piece with a 4-inch length of the same tubing used by Can-Am it solves the problem. I don't understand why Can-Am doesn't do the same thing I did. BTW, I used long 45-degree needle nose pliers to remove the factory piece, with the new piece I installed, no tools are needed to remove it and it's very easy to re-install it. Give it a try, you will thank me! :)

I have what is called a "bug out bag" for my jeep that is WAY different than the Spyder. At minimum it will allow me to survive for at least two weeks. I almost mentioned it but wanted to keep it about the Spyder. Thanks for watching and comment!

Thank you for the comment! Hope everything went well!

Thank you for that and hope it helped with any questions you had!!

Thank you for watching , comment, and sharing! Even with all of that, you probably still have room for more on the RT. Your the first one to mention oil and funnel so far, which is a great idea to carry!

Eventually i will be getting an RT. You cant beat comfort or price and storage. For some reason i never thought of a flashlight in the Spyder so will be soon adding. Thank you for comment and sharing and hopefully this will help others.

I believe this one will work for you. It doesn't say what years it is for, but says "universal". Usually that means for any model or year. Plus the way it wires up I dont think it really makes a difference what year you have. www.slingmods.com/universal-motorcycle-accessory-fuse-block-show-chrome-13-311?vehicle=1 Hope this works for your needs.

For right now i hope this helps, but i will try to do a dedicated one soon. th-cam.com/video/rLbUAZiEZV0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9jJVyn4ULFg5tUlc Appreciate the comment and support

Where i live there is a lot of big farms with big juicy bugs. I have to have a micro fiber towel for sure!! You should wash them and "shrink" them to fit in her new Spyder😁😁

@@MOABMAN I will do that !!!

I was impressed with how comfortable it was for both driver and passenger! Thank you for the comment and channel support!

I really like the red/Maroon color on them.

Some helmets do have XL and XXL sizes. If you do find you need a special size i would call the company of one you like and ask.

Thank you for sharing! In my jeeps I keep toilet paper in a baggie too. If I had more space on the F3 I would carry it too. It is odd how much space it takes up. Good idea on the paper maps! I have used the beach blanket as a tarp before. A tarp or some kind of blanket seems to come in handy a lot for me. I really appreciate the comment and support! Hopefully this will help someone (especially the toilet paper mention).

Welcome to the Spyder Family and glad your enjoying the F3. There was a god bit of changes to the 2024 model. Hope the video helped and soon some comments will hopefully help with an idea of what to carry!

Thank you for watching! Is there anything special you use a lot?? I have looked at the FOBO before and like the idea of it. BUT.... I am kinda old fashion when it comes to working on autos. I like dirt on the hands and smell of grease,gas, and oil. When i have the chance to do something by hand and touch and feel, i do it. My Jeeps all have tire pressure monitoring and i use it but still do it manually as well too! I am a little weird though too!! Thanks for the support!

@@MOABMAN I carry a tire repair kit in my my slingshot. Rain gear and a helmet lock bag that doubles as an alarm. I’ll do a video on it shortly. I’m also prepping a video on the FOBO 2. K have TPMS in my Ford Maverick and had FOBO on my F3 and Sea to Sky. I like the idea of looking at the phone off im going to do a quick trip to the store and not have to physically check all three tires for a a ten minute trip. Still fine tuning the Slingshot EDC but in have AAA so never worry about too many tools.

@@DFWMoose with that many toys i dont blame you for using it!!!! Ill watch for the video, i would like to see your take on it!

Thanks for the comment and watching. I hope a lot of people will comment because i am wondering if there is something that will make me go "duh....... I should have that too!"

That probably looked really odd with the chainsaw! Cant say i have ever heard of anyone keeping that on a motorcycle..... Your the first! I guess you would be really prepared if a tree fell across the road though so he must think on a way higher level of preparedness!😂😂😂

@@MOABMAN bah hah hah hah...no, it was broken and he wanted to bring it home to fix it, lol 😅😅🤣🤣😉😉

@@MOABMAN

No fair you have so much more room! If i had that much room it would probably be stocked with food!!!

@@MOABMAN 😉😉😅😅well, i guess that is true!!

@@PurpleOnThree i love the look of your new ride too!!!!!

@@MOABMAN thank you so much! It needs some bling and purple accents! 🤗💜 There will be no chain saws hauled on it though 😅

Good to see this video. I also have a small air compressor in my frunk. Oops forgot F3 Limited. I keep a variation of what you have in your drunk. Similar with the wipes and towels but add disposable gloves. I haven’t figured out my necessary tools but working on it. Thanks for posting this, it gives me more insight than before. Drive safe

It was lonely without you!!!!

@@MOABMAN well, you let me know when your next one is going to be!! I'll try to do better!!

@@PurpleOnThree You are the best already!!!! I havent had any time to do much youtube at all lately, both watching and making videos. I need to sit on a weekend and "PO3 and chill"

@@MOABMAN 😂😂😂 I hear ya... Life happens! I'm hoping to get a video out tomorrow... Had my first 3,000 mile service 😁...

@@PurpleOnThree Already at 3k???!!!!!! Do you just leave your Spyder on some kind of treadmill at night to rack up the miles??🤔🤔🤔

Thank you very much for the compliment and supporting the channel. Not all videos are great but i give them 100% effort!!! Hope you enjoy the others as well!

Is there a certain brand you prefer over others? Thanks for watching and comment!
