    Default new F3-S

    Hi all. New here. James Casey from Abbeville AL. Just bought a 2015 F3-S. Just got it home and love it.The 100 miles home was a breeze. Didn't tell me much about break in except to not full throttle and don't let it overheat. Any thing else I should know?

    on your new F3

    The usual on break in. Tires and brakes need 350 miles or so to get run in. I would take it easy there.

    Vary the speeds as you put miles on. Allows everything to get set in nicely.

    I do not recommend beating the crap out of your new machine before the initial service break in at 3000 miles.

    There will be the urge to lay rubber and see what it will do. That is your choice.

    Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    Your owner's manual also recommends no hard breaking for 300?miles. Of course if one must for safety one must.

    Don't forget to post the obligatory picture of your new ride.
