We want to haul our bikes out West so that we arrive fresh to ride. Anyone here know of a method to haul both an F3 and a full size Indian together?

We met a Forum member at a local cruise-in and thought about contacting them. We know the name of the small town they live in and hoped to get their contact info from this Forum.

Other forums have a way to locate forum members by city. I don't see such a list of members here. Is there one that I an just not seeing?

Please provide a source for the “snappier tune”. I would love to read about that.

It's been a while since my wife bought her 2015 F3, but here's what I recall: The F3 has black frame tubes and the F3S has red ones.

Your advice about concentrating on the ride is more crucial to survival than my preference for TPMS. TPMS is optional, but concentrating on the ride is essential! Congrats on 70 years and here’s...

Those 2 times that you noticed the puncture in your pre-ride inspection you simply found a problem that happened DURING you last ride. (unless it happened while sitting still after your last ride)...

Of course, TPMS doesn't prevent flats. By "preventative safety" I meant that TPMS allows the rider to realize a tire is losing psi before it becomes a safety issue. I'd much rather notice the very...

Checking tires prior to a ride is a smart idea, but doesn't help much when you pick up a nail in the middle of a long ride. I've been riding over 50 years now and there's been plenty of times I've...

FYI: Coolant level is easy to read if you remove the top, right side tupperware. It's just 4 Torx and 3 push pins. (takes about 2 mins)

Thanks for the response. I’m using the new O-ring from Lamonster’s kit. It looks like the old one. ( remember, the old one leaked after the oil change) I carefully measure the oil I drain and match...

Just did a seasonal oil change on my wife's F3 as I've done several other times. Initially, I didn't use a new O-ring for the cap and it leaked. So, I removed the cap and installed a new O-ring....

How in the world did I just reply to an almost 3 yr old thread!! ( it came up in a search....) Sorry!

I do believe this is the longest sentence in forum history!

Same here. Oil change was very easy with F3 on the ground. No issues at all.

Wife's seat arrived this AM. Raining here so all she did was sit on it in the garage. First impression: More supportive, narrower in front, sits in seat rather than on seat and pushes her just a...

Easy as can be without raising F3 at all. You just need to use a shallow pan to drain oil into.

I’ve had a couple of long discussions with Seth to make sure the seat is modified to our goals. Last night he told me the seat would be shipped out by the end of today. Very pleasant and...

Sent my wife’s seat to Seth 2 days ago. Production date is 2/25. (earlier if he has time) Hopefully, this mod will increase the length of our rides, or, at least, make our shorter rides more pleasant...

I'm thinking about replacing all the Phillips with Torx. The Torx give a much more positive connection to the tool.

FYI: Chieftain and F3 weights are very close, depending on F3 model. For an "average" husband/wife, your additional bodyweight will make the 2 vehicles almost the same weight with driver.

I ride an Indian Vintage (same engine as Chieftain, no windshield) and my wife has an F3. We only cruise rural roads and generally run 50-60 mph. I average (actually calculated) about 50 mpg and she...

In the automotive world, sport/standard/eco modes alter the ratio of throttle position to power output while having no effect on max power available. For example, in sport mode a 20 degree twist of...

I'm always amazed at the number of people that have suggestions contrary to the manufacturers who have a stake in their products performing optimally. With the HH pads, the 3-400- miles is a good...

My head still hurts....

That’s a good reason to have the correct torque specs.

I have done a couple of searches, but have found some inconsistent results.
Can someone either direct me to or tell me the correct torque specs for the 2 drain bolts on an F3? Thanks.

No clearance issues on our F3 with the Kumho.

Thanks for the input. I now plan to start at 20 psi and adjust up and/or down from there. I'll base my final decision on handling characteristics, comfort and application of the 4 psi concept. At...
