Has anyone attempted to run the 990 RT rear drive sprocket on an F3 ??? It should result in a higher top end, and or a lower cruise RPM. The F3 seems to have enough torque to handle it. Not sure if...

I did the replacement of the filter this morning. Took me about 1 hr 15 min. with interuptions from a landscaper planting a tree in the front yard. It went pretty smooth for my first time. The old...
According to the K&N website the maintainence intervals are fairly long. Won't be a problem for the way I ride.
How often do I need to clean my K&N air filter?
If you have not experienced a...
Can some one point me to a How to article on changing the RT air filter ? I am approaching 10K trouble free miles in just under a year. I just picked up an K&N filter with the hopes of extending the...
It's a small wonder that after a nice ride you come home to the smell of gas vapors. Ever notice how the left side exhaust pipe is routed right up against the gas tank. In fact the gas tank was...
Took a ride today and just for giggles tried to use the cruise control even though in my mind I was sure it didn't work. Pushed the switch to on and got the digital on indicator. Pushed the switch...
I too needed some room to stretch out and came up with these for about $50 total not counting my labor, about 1-1/2 hrs.55445
After splitting the throttle switch housing and spraying the cruise control switch as best I could with electronic contact cleaner I now see that when I slide the switch to the right I can see the...
Thanks everyone for the quick replies. Now I have a starting place for checking things out.
My 2012 Rt SE5 has been running fine and is approaching 5000 miles. I tried the cruise control only once since I bought the bike. It seemed to work as expected about a month ago, but today when I...
No Plumbing thoughts at this time. When I think about all the work of pulling the trunk and all the covers plus down time for experimentation, My thoughts quickly return to just going for a ride...
" Respectfully. When was the last time Jacumba saw 114 degrees?"
Answer: 200 million years after the Big Bang. I thought everyone knew that. lol
And the winner goes to Blue Night LOL for the best overall solution to the hot foot.:bowdown:
I was trying to come up with an idea to eliminate the heat problem on the RT. This would require a big pair to say the least, not to mention some good wrench skills. This is what I came up with.

I make it a point to shift above 3k in 1st and 4 to 5 k in the rest of the gears. From my house to the back gate out of my community is about 1/4 of a mile and by then the temperature gage is just...
The other day I noticed when leaving for a ride that each time I up shifted I could hear a slight muted bell like sound. A little ching for each gear change. It seems to go away when the bike is...
1)I would like to have an adjustable lumbar pad like the one I had on my Burgman 650 adjustable from under the seat. Slid back and forth about 2-1/2 to 3 inches.
2) Maybe an air bladder adjustable...
After riding my C50 Suzuki at highway speeds I found out what real vibration was like. The sweet spot was from 40 t0 50 mph. Anything higher than that would rattle the fillings out of your teeth. LOL...
Hmmm, I'm, thinking about a remote controlled stun gun being wired into the seat. Imagine the laughs you could have. I remember a few years back Mercedes Benz having a security feature like this...
Shouldn't they come like that from the factory ?? With one engine for all the models and two transmission choices mapping a smooth running engine shouldn't be that complex. I feel lucky because I...
If you have to put out a fire you need the best tool to do the job. Here's a product that handles almost any situation. I don't pretend to know the science of how it works, but I have used it and I...
I paid $360 for the 600 mile service plus dropped another 40 bucks on some goodies at the dealer. I plan on doing my own oil changes. I have already done my first about a week ago. Just missed the...
I prefer to keep my Garmin higher up to avoid washout from overhead sun light and reflected light from light colored clothing. Also helps keep the eyes looking closer to over the dash rather than...

I have had no real experience with brake problems, but after taking a look under my RT it seems that the master cylinder if fairly close to the exhaust pipe. I can't help think that all that extreme...
From an economy point I would go for a diesel powered unit for the following reasons. Gasoline has a shorter storage life than diesel. Diesel units use about half the fuel per hour of gasoline units....
Unless you have the new metal screen reinforced oil filter P/N 420956745 you would be safer and smarter at 3000 mile intervals. I wouldn't give BRP any reason to void a warranty by not using the...
