A bit of heat on the bolt head should make that yellow Loctite loosen.
Sure, give it a try to see what works for you.
Isopedella: I just put as much slack in the cable as I could get. There's really not a whole lot of slack available to begin with as you'll see. In my situation, there is still plenty of "grab" on...
It's a well know problem as you'll see as others chime in, or not, about the problem.
In 2021, the parking brake on my 2018 F3Ltd would not release and got the code specific to the problem. I got...
Having an F3L, with the Ultimates, they don't come with pegs and I never ride -aggressively- so I can't answer that question for you.
Did I just read the name David Hough? I believe it's the first time I've ever heard his name, or a suggestion of one of his intelligent/profound motorcycling books, mentioned here at SL. BRAVO...
Another Thumbs Up for the Ultimates. There are many fitment options for our F3's. Here are mine, on my F3L, they are #4's. It makes mounting (getting on) the machine much easier and more comfortable...
In 1973, I attained my MC license on a new holdover 1972 Yamaha RD350. I paid $725 for it, enjoyed it, and sold it in 1974 for $750. I still have it's license plate.

Chi-Cheemaun is a Ferry that sails on Lake Huron.
It's always good to hear what the solutions are to problems. Thanks!
Several years ago, on my 2018F3 Ltd's L/H side swing arm, I marked the center of the belt's span for using a Krikit to measure belt tension. To the left in the photo you can see the "ter" part of...
Over the years, we've sailed the Chi-Cheemaun several times heading both east and west. These trips were not on two or three wheels but four wheels, a VW Westfalia camper. It's a wonderful excursion...
The Ultimate F3 Floorboards have been a very good addition for my leg/hip/foot comfort. It enables me to shift my foot position very easily.

Not, home made, but several years ago I installed SlingMods Battery Jump Start Port on my F3L. I use it for my battery maintainer conection after every ride. Of course, if you need a jump, the...
You're not too far away from Caswell in Mora. Their reputation is good and they even have Spyder alignment equipment.
For all the folks who say that getting on an F3 is a bit difficult, I'd suggest they look at The Ultimate F3 Floorboards. I purchased a pair, and for for my 76 year old tall lanky body, it made...
Recently I used this clamp, to replace the Oetiker clamp, on the R/H lower radiator hose, when changing coolant on my 2018 F3L. It was worked well aka, no leaks. Purchased through ebay: narrow Band...

I had the Sprocket Recall done this past Tuesday. An hour and 50 miles later, back at home I inspected the dealer's work. The belt tension was waaay tight and there was no gap between the belt and...
The trailer has been around for a long time, so I don't recall the model. A search on Aluma's site will get you to what they now make in a 6x10.
Here's my 2018 F3 on a 6'x10' all aluminum trailer. Plenty of room forward to rear and enough clearance side to side. Hope this helps you in your quest.

I've got Dave's button and pad. Due to my fondness for Anti-Slip material, see post 37, I added anti slip to the Turn Signal button. For me, wearing gloves (ATGATT) it's now even easier to find the...
What I do to create more friction on the Turn Signal and the Cruise Control buttons is to add small pieces of 3M Indoor/Outdoor (aka Safey Walk) Tread.

Ah...the kindness of strangers. Nice to know that there are many folks out there who are willing to lend a hand!
In 2021, on my 2018 F3L, I had experienced the intermittent parking brake hang up problem several times. Fault codes popped up. Fortunately, I was able to release the brake by pressing the brake...
The removal of the brake caliper, axle and tire is essentially the same procedure as the RT-L. On my 2018 F3-L, the mud flap removal is quite different than the RT. I remove the side boxes and the...
This fall, the left hand control module (aka as the left hand -switch-) on my 2018 F3L (17K miles) had similar issues as yours. A call to my dealer about the problem resulted in BRP covering the...
Veterans Day for me is not necessarily Happy, but it certainly is Solemn.
Thanks for the photos and their explanations! People helping each other to solve problems.
Yes, that is a Delphi connector (I've have to get the tool, or two, to release the pins). When the...
