Thank you so much for the info. I’ve just recently decided the Can-Am Spyder is what I want. I’m a spoiled senior citizen, and want to get back on a bike. It’s been 30 years, and yes, there are extremely good reasons why I haven’t had one. I haven’t even seen a Can-Am up close yet, but plan to drive to the dealer very soon to get to touch one and ask questions. You’re video has helped TREMENDOUSLY! If we lived close, I’d say, “Meet ya for a ride.” 😃😃
You have a great looking F3 ! You take great care of it and you are knowledgeable about the bike! Your video is very informative and answers a lot of questions we would have about the bike. Please keep posting more videos! Can not wait! Enjoy your bike while riding safely ! Big Thanks!
Thanks. I appreciate the support. Trying to enhance videos. Slow process. Currently over the last 2 days I have been experimenting with the GoPro 10. Thanks for the support!! Trying to get that content.
I'm really seeing why people are disliking the Can Am it is a great vehicle thats different from a two wheel motorcycle but still a motorcycle that's more comfortable and easier to ride allowing you to just enjoy the ride.Thanks for sharing I have never been on one and haven been on a motorcycle in 20years have a shoulder injury that may or may not be an issue but I'd take my chances with this,appreciate your channel stay safe!
Thank you. The Can Am products allow for freedom and opportunities for those of us that may have limitations. Not having to balance and worry about loose gravel is a big plus and difference. They are easy to ride and b/c you have 2 wheel experience, you will ride it with a small learning curve.
Great video. Especially that you deliver information with a sales job attached. I have a 2019 RT LTD and it’s an entirely different animal. Imagine driving a Shelby Mustang
Thanks for the info I am, as you say, on the fence about purchasing. Will keep your input in mind if I decide to take that leap. Thanks again. Gotta remember FS-3!🙉
very nice video and good info, thank you so much. I am thinking of getting one because I am 73yrs old and I just sold my Harley because it was getting too heavy to handle. I exercise and stay in good shape but the fear of falling over on a bike is not too cool. but this can-am looks just right for me. many Blessings for you and may you always be Safe.
Thanks for the info. I'm on the fence at the moment. I'm concerned about the comfort for long distance. And since I live in the middle of Nebraska, the cleaning off the bugs looks like it would be a pain. Lot of nooks and crannies on that machine.
Still in love with this bike. Little sick that the weather is yucky and cannot ride. Bike has been put up and is on battery maintainer and fuel stabilizer. Can't wait for the spring time. Thanks for the comments and support everyone.
.Nice informative video sir, also like the music volume. Some folk have it way too loud. Now I am 6' 4" 66 kilo's (146lb) and 73 years old and at the moment I'm riding a 2020 Yamaha MT 10 SP which I can barely get both big toe's touching the ground when I stop so have been looking at the Can-Am Spyder for probably me last purchase. I live in New Zealand and the F3-S costs $35.000 here. If I can a good price for my MT 10 which cost $24,500 I will certainly be buying one.
Thanks for the video i will be purchasing one in March or April. My class is in 3 weeks. I was going back and forth with which Bike I have just made up my mind after watching your video Can Am spyder F3S need that cruise.
Your bike really looks good. I had a very good salesman who showed me all of the models and explained everything and I purchased the 2021 F3 limited. I really like it and I am glad that I made that choice.
On the fence about the F3 and Ryker. Which do you prefer to ride since I see you have both? I'm 6'4 260+ and was wondering how comfortable the ryker would be.
Wow i have a f3s and i love the seat i also love that its easy to have a passenger . It's what sold me. The extra horse power and the passenger seat. Triple black is 🔥🔥
i recently took my 3 wheeled safety course and passed now i have to go to the DMV to get my permit and get the motorcycle endorsement on my license this past weekend i went and looked at a 2015 Can Am Spyder F3-S its a beautiful bike i cant wait to purchase it .
I wanted to ask. I have never driven a 2 wheel motorcycle much less this kind. But I have really considered about getting a spyder. I feel like it would be the better choice for me. Would you say 3 wheel is a lot easier? And anything you would warn someone like me. I will do that safety course but from your experience any type of a warning for a new guy like me?
Enjoyed the video. There is not hardly any videos out there on the F3ss. Most of them are from other countries and cant understand a thing they say. Stay safe out there my friend
I'm 78' been riding since 1963. Got my bike in the shop being serviced,, its a Kawasaki 1600 Vulcan got it new, seriously looking into getting one of theses, but i do want all the bags. They just look safer and a lot more fun than two wheels, and more for gear, i do 80 mile rides to get fuel😊, you gotta enjoy... I'm ready to sell my 2007 jag convertible to make room in the garage.
From my experience as a 2 wheel rider as well, I can’t see myself without the 3 wheels ever. Even if I ever purchase 2 wheels again, 3 wheels will always be one of my rides as well. Much safer and stability is a huge plus.
Cruise control can be added it’s available from CanAm as a plug-in with harness and right hand controller. It is a replacement part for the S3 but will work on the basic f3 as well.
I have the 2017 F3 LTD I drove 650 miles in 12 hours ( North Carolina to New Jersey) I felt safe to go 70 MPH on the highways , I did not worry about going down. Is a great bike and comfortable.
I live in NJ as well and super curious people who own the sypder think about it’s maintenance, repair, etc etc, things I don’t even have a clue about. I want to get one, but I need to know the details about its cost for maintenance etc
I’ve been looking at motorcycles for years. My dad has a Harley, and I’ve always been enamored with them. I have mild cerebral palsy. I can walk, but need a walker is about the extent of it. Do you feel like this is a good bike for someone like me?
have seen people with various disabilities who have been able to make some modifications to fit their needs. It really depends on your limitations and what you feel comfortable with.
I take delivery of a 2016 F3 LSS with 4,000 miles tomorrow. I take the safety course Saturday. At one time I rode my FJR1300 everywhere. Now that I'm retired I'm gonna ride the heck out of this trike! I'm one overjoyed fella. 😍 Great job BTW.
This was a great video Dwism! Thanks. I purchased my Can-Am F3 S 2 weeks ago. Can you tell me where to purchase the carbon fiber wrap overlays for your Can Am. That is beautiful!! please share. Thank you
I purchased those carbon fiber pieces from 2 websites. 1. Sliingmods.com 2. wrapmyspyder.com. Let me know if you have any other questions. Appreciate the support.
Considering of trading my HD Street Glide. Considered going to the trike side. HD trikes are difficult to maneuver, especially in city traffic. Their rides are rougher than the Street Glide. THEN I road the F3. Wow major difference! Nicer & comfortable ride. Way easier to maneuver. Plenty of power. More stability going around corners & curves than the HD. Not crazy about the styling but newer models are better. Just have not made the switch. I appreciate the videos for my personal research.
Sold my 2016 F3-S a couple of months ago. Did a lot of expensive mods to it, but it was well worth it. I absolutely loved the bike, but it was time to let it go. I might consider getting another F3-S in the future. Thanks for the video.
I have a 2021 Ryker and I like the bike but for being 6'4" it can be very uncomfortable. I will be custom making my seat to bring it up like 3" to make it more comfy because they don't have any seats that are higher.
During my training course I rode a unit that had foot pegs instead of floor boards. Have you ever found yourself wishing you had floor boards? Seems they would allow a bit more comfort.
I have riden others with floor boards. The floor boards most certainly allow for much better comfort. I like the looks of the pegs because of the sportiness it brings. Just like the windshield, I like the functionality but not necessarily the looks.
Great video! I just got purchased a 2015 F3 S, do the newer bikes suffer from the drive belt vibrations like the 2015’s I’ve ordered a belt tensioner from Lamonster. Just curious, I feel it when I hit about 60mph.
I appreciate your video and the info. I will be a new owner soon and I'm taking in the info. Question where do you get phone mount, wider mirrors? floor boards
Thanks for your comment and support of the channel. Phone Mount is from Quad Lock. I believe they are the best. Really simple to attach and detach.(www.quadlockcase.com). The mirrors from Slingmods. They provide wider viewer angles and fit over the existing mirrors. I don't have floor boards at this point. I am still looking for some that I like.
Like front trunk for storing helmet when you get there. Don't like that bottem of front rad shroud drags ground when hitting dip in road or drive way. Wish they had fully auto shift option, already shifts down by itself now.
Just finished my training course this pass weekend, was gonna buy the Ryker 900 edition but decided to go with the F3 S or SS…btw thanks for the info. Please make a video explaining the buying process when dealing with in-house financing 👍🏾💯
Yea, good info on the cruise and back rest! Question. At 5'8", would this be a comfortable ride? I've had a problem with some bikes and how they are set up for taller riders.
The cool thing about the Spyders is that they are adjustable. I would recommend going to a local dealer and sittting on one. They accommodate a variety of sizes.
Your videos helped me with alot including my purchase and mods. Question my Homie and I are stuck on what we should do for sound. I see 8" to 4" speakers. Did you go for the speakers you have for looks? Or is the JBL pretty good with motor & road noise? Also why not bigger speakers like Rockford Fosgate?
Lol.. If you want to hear your music, don’t fool with JBL speakers. They look good, but that is it. Please explore other options. I didn’t necessarily want the big 🔊 speakers.
@@dwismwurks hahaa thank you ! I'm not a fan of the bigger speakers neither on the spyder. I'm sticking with 6.5 but with more power. Thanks brotha keep pumpin these videos out !
Thanks for the video! Just wondering if the service for them like oil changes etc are really expensive? I have a can am ATV and the maintenance is really pricey!
I actually purchased the maintenance plan for 5 years. Not sure how much service would cost otherwise, but will find out. Great question. I will let you know.
So true. I've been thinking about buying for for the past year. With can am raising the price by $2000 you would think they wold added the cruise control on the 2022 F3 not only just raising the horse power. I think you can get the cruise control added on to the f3. I would talk to the dealership about it.
Hello I also have been talking to the dealership in HTX where I purchased my spyder no luck as getting solid confirmation.. others have switched out the RH switch that has cruise control button some have said its works plug and play. I have ran into the problem dealer will not confirm if it will work on my 2021 syder base model. I really would like to add this feature but do not want to invest in something with no guarantee nor do want to void my warranty. Please let me know if your dealership has confirmed it will work and if so can you attach the correct part # that would be a BLESSING! THANKS
A "money pit" is when you buy something and have to dump tons of money into it just to keep it running. Kind of like my Harley Road King Classic with $3,000 in engine work to fix the design failures after 10,571 miles in 1 year. That was with me doing the work.
Watching your videos made me go get that Spyder f3s ss 2021. Thinking of mods I can do. Definitely changing out the lights and I know I need some LEDs.
My question is can you get the passenger seat with the side bags? And is it good for cruising long distance or just short rides around 100 miles. will take on interstate rides.and can you get cruise? I'm really looking at getting one in a few days.or should I wait to get the RT with the full side bag/boxes?
Truly, if you know that you will be doing highway and distance riding, I would only go for the RT. F3 is good for highway and some distance, but will not give you nearly the comfort. I prefer the F3 b/c of sportiness and the fact that I do not go long distances.
like ur video .. to be honest you didnt need to spend on all that lighting ...... i agree thr upgrade would have been better with cruise control but how many long trips u take .. for the extra lights .. how much night ruding you actually do???? i agree a back rest especially for older riders... great mods !!!!
I’m a new subscriber to your channel you are really helping me decide between the F3 Special and the RT I am torn between those two models, however I think I am leaning more towards the F3 special! now my question is what is the difference in your opinion, between the 2021 and the 2022 F3S, F3 special and the RT’S. I like the customization availability but don’t want to make so many that I wish I should of got the High end RT because I’m like you I love the stance of F3 Special but I don’t want to make that mistake If that makes any sense? Thanks!
You really need to think about the type of riding you will be doing. The RT is perfect for those longer rode trips and if more comfort is desired. Personally I like the customization options for the F3 and the sportiness. The windshield and heated grips are the biggest plus for me, for the RT. Cruise Control can be had on both. What kind of riding do you think you will be doing?
@@dwismwurks Thanks for the quick reply, I live in Lower LA (lower Alabama) close to the beach. I’m not looking to go very far when riding but I am like you I like the sports look, however I like the comfort (Cadillac, Lincoln) but the capability to travel overnight! I was looking at F3 special and RT without all the bags. But I am thoroughly doing my Research and you have been a big help through the process with your videos! Keep them coming!
Let’s call the F3S a Shelby Mustang and the RT LTD a Raptor. Both fun, both fast and both are driven differently, especially through the twists and turns. Regardless, once the rider is dialed in they’re very difficult to stay off of.
The longest ride that I have made was 3 hours. GA to SC. What I really missed was a back rest. Other than that, I was fine. Really could have benefited from back support.
You can go wrong with either one. I prefer the F3-T b/c of more of the motorcycle feel. The Slingshot is fun as well, but reminds me of a super fast convertible. Hope you have a speedy recovery and get back to riding.
I'm waiting on my spyder to come in still. What is the gas mileage like? Like how many miles do you go before you ha e to fill up again. I'm getting the F3 myself
Yeah. I would not bother with a 2012. I do know that a lot of issues were being worked out with that year and surrounding. I would probably pass on that one.
It’s the steering I’m worried about. I have a hold tag on a F3S. We drove it and it wants that road groove in the pavement. Only way to explain it and idk if that’s normal? And the handling like leaning with turns? I’ve been wanting to get one since they first appeared.
The steering has actually been great! I know what you are speaking of, when you say road groove. There is no leaning, but counter steering!! Has a great ride! I was thinking as I was riding a couple of days ago that I truly love this bike.
@@dwismwurks yes counter steering. I rode as a passenger and so I got the feedback that it had steering that I may experience if I get to drive it. No hard core bumps but I was impressed as a passenger on no jarring like his Harley. But it’s for me and that’s what holding me bk. Thank you for responding
I like the color I like the color the wheels. Too bad The RT limited Doesn't come in black And you're right the backrest would have been really nice. I Won't buy a bike if the cruise control is not on it. You got a real nice bike. Sounds mean I like that.
Thank you so much for the info. I’ve just recently decided the Can-Am Spyder is what I want. I’m a spoiled senior citizen, and want to get back on a bike. It’s been 30 years, and yes, there are extremely good reasons why I haven’t had one. I haven’t even seen a Can-Am up close yet, but plan to drive to the dealer very soon to get to touch one and ask questions. You’re video has helped TREMENDOUSLY! If we lived close, I’d say, “Meet ya for a ride.” 😃😃
Thanks I was on the fence now I'm getting one this was a great video keep it up thanks again
You have a great looking F3 ! You take great care of it and you are knowledgeable about the bike! Your video is very informative and answers a lot of questions we would have about the bike. Please keep posting more videos! Can not wait! Enjoy your bike while riding safely ! Big Thanks!
Thanks. I appreciate the support. Trying to enhance videos. Slow process. Currently over the last 2 days I have been experimenting with the GoPro 10. Thanks for the support!! Trying to get that content.
Thanks for the info. Love the Spyder. Thinking of adding the F3-S Special to the stable.
Sweet ride, Brother! Cheers to you from the backwoods of Kentucky 👍😎
Man you have given a vast amount of information. I have the G3’s special series,and man…… I absolutely love it. Safe driving brother!!👊🏾
Appreciate the feedback and support! Safe riding to you as well!
I'm really seeing why people are disliking the Can Am it is a great vehicle thats different from a two wheel motorcycle but still a motorcycle that's more comfortable and easier to ride allowing you to just enjoy the ride.Thanks for sharing I have never been on one and haven been on a motorcycle in 20years have a shoulder injury that may or may not be an issue but I'd take my chances with this,appreciate your channel stay safe!
Thank you. The Can Am products allow for freedom and opportunities for those of us that may have limitations. Not having to balance and worry about loose gravel is a big plus and difference. They are easy to ride and b/c you have 2 wheel experience, you will ride it with a small learning curve.
Been thinking bout the spyder now for a while now... I've seen a few people with the fat tire and stretch kit. Soooo nice!!
You always make the best videos and explain things in a normal way that people can understand and appreciate.
I appreciate the kind words. I think of the time when I wanted to purchase and did not have anything to reference. Appreciate the support.
Great video. Especially that you deliver information with a sales job attached. I have a 2019 RT LTD and it’s an entirely different animal. Imagine driving a Shelby Mustang
Thanks for the info
I am, as you say, on the fence about purchasing. Will keep your input in mind if I decide to take that leap. Thanks again. Gotta remember FS-3!🙉
The more I ride, the more I want to. Love this machine 10 times more than when I purchased it.
very nice video and good info, thank you so much. I am thinking of getting one because I am 73yrs old and I just sold my Harley because it was getting too heavy to handle. I exercise and stay in good shape but the fear of falling over on a bike is not too cool. but this can-am looks just right for me. many Blessings for you and may you always be Safe.
Appreciate the support!! The Can Am products have been wonderful for me. Therapeutic for sure!!
Thanks for the info. I'm on the fence at the moment. I'm concerned about the comfort for long distance. And since I live in the middle of Nebraska, the cleaning off the bugs looks like it would be a pain. Lot of nooks and crannies on that machine.
Much Aloha for the info!
Back rest is an absolute must. I bought the OEM and it made any ride over a couple hours much more enjoyable, especially after having 2 back surgeries
Appreciate that info! I have been pondering about that!
Still in love with this bike. Little sick that the weather is yucky and cannot ride. Bike has been put up and is on battery maintainer and fuel stabilizer. Can't wait for the spring time. Thanks for the comments and support everyone.

Thanks for the excellent rundown....I rode for 30+ years around Europe, now I'm 70! .....Man is this tempting me!

That front splitter looks great
Your bike really looks good. I had a very good salesman who showed me all of the models and explained everything and I purchased the 2021 F3 limited. I really like it and I am glad that I made that choice.
You had a really good salesman. I know what to expect the next time. Live and Learn.
Super helpful, thank you ☺️🙏🏼
thanks great video I am going to get one very soon.
Beautiful bike, man! - thanks for sharing!
Appreciate that. Appreciate the support!!
Great info buddy, thanks!
Just upgraded last month from a 2008 rs to a 2018 F3 limited. LOVE the F3. Put a thousand miles on it the first month.
Enjoy the ride. I really like the F3 Limited b/c of some of the additional options.
That is what your black on is? A F3 Limited? I was going to buy a Ryker Rally 2024 but your video is messing up my mind now. 😁@@dwismwurks
On the fence about the F3 and Ryker. Which do you prefer to ride since I see you have both? I'm 6'4 260+ and was wondering how comfortable the ryker would be.

Considering of trading my HD Street Glide. Considered going to the trike side. HD trikes are difficult to maneuver, especially in city traffic. Their rides are rougher than the Street Glide.

Not crazy about the styling but newer models are better. Just have not made the switch. I appreciate the videos for my personal research.
No problem!! The Can Am Trikes are comfortable!! I love the power and the handling always!!! Go ahead and make that jump. You won’t regret it!!!
Sold my 2016 F3-S a couple of months ago. Did a lot of expensive mods to it, but it was well worth it. I absolutely loved the bike, but it was time to let it go. I might consider getting another F3-S in the future. Thanks for the video.
What's the likelihood of bigger/taller people being comfortable on the f3-s, in your opinion? Thanks for any feedback!
Thanks man
Backrest, windscreen, running boards are nice options to get right away.
Like the videos. I just bought a 2021 Spyder F3 Special and was wondering where you bought your speaker system. Thanks.
I purchased the speakers from Slingmods. They are not that loud when riding. They look great but sound just ok.
I have a 2021 Ryker and I like the bike but for being 6'4" it can be very uncomfortable.
I will be custom making my seat to bring it up like 3" to make it more comfy because they don't have any seats that are higher.
Comfortable seat goes a long way. It determines how long your ride is going to be. I will be upgrading my seat as well.
I like the Spyder. Good review. Thanks.
Thanks
Please do a video if you add cruise control option. You are my go to guy on all my Spyder Mods! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 👍
It's just the right side controls for handlebar, fish wiring thru handlebar and mount control, plug it in and you have cruise control!
As far as exhaust, if it made no noise at all, be fine with me, whens the electric model come out?
I’m want the f3 special and thanks for your info
No problem 👍. Go for it!
Man that looks great!!!!
Appreciate it!!
I like what you did with the can am bike
Appreciate it!!
Yeah I have a f3 like yours but I have little stuff on it but I love the video on the bikes 😊

Thanks for the video! Just wondering if the service for them like oil changes etc are really expensive? I have a can am ATV and the maintenance is really pricey!
I actually purchased the maintenance plan for 5 years. Not sure how much service would cost otherwise, but will find out. Great question. I will let you know.
Keep up the good work
Appreciate the support!
Hello. I’m here in loganville ga, can you recommend me a place to go a get one for my use. Thanks
So true. I've been thinking about buying for for the past year. With can am raising the price by $2000 you would think they wold added the cruise control on the 2022 F3 not only just raising the horse power. I think you can get the cruise control added on to the f3. I would talk to the dealership about it.
Hello I also have been talking to the dealership in HTX where I purchased my spyder no luck as getting solid confirmation.. others have switched out the RH switch that has cruise control button some have said its works plug and play. I have ran into the problem dealer will not confirm if it will work on my 2021 syder base model. I really would like to add this feature but do not want to invest in something with no guarantee nor do want to void my warranty. Please let me know if your dealership has confirmed it will work and if so can you attach the correct part # that would be a BLESSING! THANKS
hello thanks for sharing with us Dwism. Im looking to add accessories now. Did you order yours from CanAm or who did you go thru.
I use Slingmods. There are some others. I will send in a moment.
Beautiful machine. I'm sold on the idea. I'll be looking at the F3-S or F3-T. I see you're a Falcon's fan. GO BIRDS!!!
Yes Sir!! Appreciate the support Mark. You can't go wrong with either bike.
Where did you buy that spider emblem from and tank protector I seen on another video you did looks good
Sorry for the late response!!! Purchase made from Slingmods!!
A "money pit" is when you buy something and have to dump tons of money into it just to keep it running. Kind of like my Harley Road King Classic with $3,000 in engine work to fix the design failures after 10,571 miles in 1 year. That was with me doing the work.
Watching your videos made me go get that Spyder f3s ss 2021. Thinking of mods I can do. Definitely changing out the lights and I know I need some LEDs.
You will enjoy it. These Spyders are so much fun. Addictive for sho!!!
Nice bike guy very clean
I love the bike too 😊 very cool video
Appreciate it!!
My question is can you get the passenger seat with the side bags? And is it good for cruising long distance or just short rides around 100 miles. will take on interstate rides.and can you get cruise? I'm really looking at getting one in a few days.or should I wait to get the RT with the full side bag/boxes?
Truly, if you know that you will be doing highway and distance riding, I would only go for the RT. F3 is good for highway and some distance, but will not give you nearly the comfort. I prefer the F3 b/c of sportiness and the fact that I do not go long distances.
like ur video .. to be honest you didnt need to spend on all that lighting ...... i agree thr upgrade would have been better with cruise control but how many long trips u take .. for the extra lights .. how much night ruding you actually do???? i agree a back rest especially for older riders... great mods !!!!
I do ride 3 hours away periodically and sometimes at night. Appreciate the feedback.
Love my f3 limited BRP
Love my 2021 RTL 😎😎😎
I’m a new subscriber to your channel you are really helping me decide between the F3 Special and the RT I am torn between those two models, however I think I am leaning more towards the F3 special! now my question is what is the difference in your opinion, between the 2021 and the 2022 F3S, F3 special and the RT’S. I like the customization availability but don’t want to make so many that I wish I should of got the High end RT because I’m like you I love the stance of F3 Special but I don’t want to make that mistake If that makes any sense?
Thanks!
You really need to think about the type of riding you will be doing. The RT is perfect for those longer rode trips and if more comfort is desired. Personally I like the customization options for the F3 and the sportiness. The windshield and heated grips are the biggest plus for me, for the RT.
Cruise Control can be had on both. What kind of riding do you think you will be doing?
@@dwismwurks Thanks for the quick reply, I live in Lower LA (lower Alabama) close to the beach. I’m not looking to go very far when riding but I am like you I like the sports look, however I like the comfort (Cadillac, Lincoln) but the capability to travel overnight! I was looking at F3 special and RT without all the bags. But I am thoroughly doing my Research and you have been a big help through the process with your videos! Keep them coming!
Nice Video. Greetings from Germany. How did u get all this chrome stuff on it and the red spider in front?
I ordered online for parts between Lamonsta Garage and Slingmods. Slingmods has all the sticker mods and emblem replacements.
Let’s call the F3S a Shelby Mustang and the RT LTD a Raptor. Both fun, both fast and both are driven differently, especially through the twists and turns. Regardless, once the rider is dialed in they’re very difficult to stay off of.
Where did you get the passenger foot pegs and what’s the cost. I’m having a hard time finding certain things and that’s one of them
I ordered the passenger footpads from Lamoster Garage. I believe in the $100 area.
Great vid. So i dont have to down shift. Do i have to release the gas when up shifting or hit button while still giving it gas? Thx
You don't have to release the gas, just up shift when time. It automatically will down shift as your speed decreases.
I’m asking do you get tired on long rides , like you do on a two wheel motorcycle,, thank you for your help
The longest ride that I have made was 3 hours. GA to SC. What I really missed was a back rest. Other than that, I was fine. Really could have benefited from back support.
I have recently totaled a 3rd motorcycle which left me with a broken back again, I am considering either getting a F3-T or a Polaris Slingshot
You can go wrong with either one. I prefer the F3-T b/c of more of the motorcycle feel. The Slingshot is fun as well, but reminds me of a super fast convertible. Hope you have a speedy recovery and get back to riding.
I'm waiting on my spyder to come in still. What is the gas mileage like? Like how many miles do you go before you ha e to fill up again. I'm getting the F3 myself
I average around about 22 to 23 mpg. I ride hard.
I have a chance to buy a 2012 Can Am Spyder RT Limited. Its a great price, but many are saying stay away from a Can Am this old. What say you?
Yeah. I would not bother with a 2012. I do know that a lot of issues were being worked out with that year and surrounding. I would probably pass on that one.
It’s the steering I’m worried about. I have a hold tag on a F3S. We drove it and it wants that road groove in the pavement. Only way to explain it and idk if that’s normal? And the handling like leaning with turns? I’ve been wanting to get one since they first appeared.
The steering has actually been great! I know what you are speaking of, when you say road groove. There is no leaning, but counter steering!! Has a great ride! I was thinking as I was riding a couple of days ago that I truly love this bike.
@@dwismwurks yes counter steering. I rode as a passenger and so I got the feedback that it had steering that I may experience if I get to drive it. No hard core bumps but I was impressed as a passenger on no jarring like his Harley. But it’s for me and that’s what holding me bk. Thank you for responding
your ride is just beautiful!!! she sounds great as well.
What is the wind blast like without it having a windscreen? Thanks.
You definitely feel the wind. A windshield would greatly improve this, but I don’t like the look. Lol. I choose to suffer.
It's not recommended to ride these on gravel. Be clear about that. Yes, in small patches is fine.
F3s has different size belt sprocket for better accel also!
Go with at least the F3-S. Don't forget the "S" comes with Fox podium shocks and other niceties. Well worth the extra money.
It is. S for better shocks, cruise control, and horsepower!!
@@dwismwurks and sport mode
Do we lose anything if we step up to the F3-S Special Series?
I like the color I like the color the wheels. Too bad The RT limited Doesn't come in black And you're right the backrest would have been really nice. I Won't buy a bike if the cruise control is not on it. You got a real nice bike. Sounds mean I like that.
F3! Is the one for me!
Man bro don't worry about nobody else that bike is fly
Where did you get the passenger foot pegs? I can’t find the right pair
Lamonster Garage
Where did u get the passenger fooot pegs from ..im looking for some affordable ones
The passenger foot pegs were purchased from Lamonsta Garage.
What year is this. I got a 2019 and can't find speakers to work for it
