I have a 2018 F3 Limited SE6 with approx. 23K miles. All of a sudden it will not downshift automatically. I actually came to a full stop today and the bike was still in 4th gear! I have also noticed...

Thanks for the tip! I will do that next time. I loved my last set of Vredesteins and wanted another set but you can't always get what you want, but f you try sometimes you get what you need.

I tried to order Vredestein tires for my 2018 F3 Limited a week ago and they kept cancelling the order because they can't sell car tires to put on a motorcycle. :gaah: Just wondering how you get...

OK.. here we go again.. Had the shop replace the water pump, thermostat and temp sensor. They also purged the cooling system. Picked up the bike and within 1/4mile the bike overheated. Turned around...

It doesn't get hot when just idling.. my mechanic had it running for 40 minutes and no temp spikes at all. I will check out the rad fins but they look clean from the outside.

Well.. my over heating issue is getting worse..I had the cooling system flushed and my mechanic recommended Engine Ice coolant. I went ahead and had him replace the original coolant with the Engine...

Yes.. I do check the coolant level and never have it spew out of any place.. never seen anything under the bike to indicate the loss of any fluid.

Mike.. Who has aftermarket grilles for the F3?

That is correct..no sway bar. Everything I read about them seems to indicate they are helpful when towing a trailer or riding 2 up.. I ride solo and don't tow so never thought I would benefit from...

Everything checked out at the 1st dealership..only some coolant needed. After it happened again I went to the dealer in Rapid City. They worked on it for 2 hours.. ran it for 20 minutes at 2000 RPMs...

OK friends.. just returned from 9500 mile cross country trip on my F3 with new Vredstein tires.. Many twisty roads and highways/interstates. My husband had a hard time keeping up with me on the...

Just got back from a 9500 mile trip cross country on my 2016 F3 Limited, and had several problems with overheating of the engine. Once going into Palm Desert but the air temp was 114F not a big...

We may take you up on that. We go through Vermont every year on way to Maine to visit friends in York Beach. Will let you know when we plan on the next trip. :cheers:

Sounds like a fun ride! I will add that to the list of roads we are going to target on the trip. Thanks Mike :dg1:

I had to take my Spyder to an independent bike shop to have them mount the car tires for me as my Spyder dealership closed unexpectedly. I think my dealership would have done it for me but maybe not....

I will certainly let you know how they perform.. We are leaving on a cross country trip at the end of the month.. should be about 10,000 mi (give or take) Just hubby and I.. east coast through...

I am running 15psi in the front and 16 psi in the rear. What was so funny was the guy in the shop did not believe me that the pressure should be that low. I am a girl you know :dg2:. so he would only...

Just got back from 700+ mile trip to Blue Ridge Mountains on my new Quatrac-5 tires. Can I say I felt like I was on a different bike? YES! what a huge difference in handling and the ride in general....

I can usually get around 250 miles/tank on my '16 F3L when we are traveling on highways with limited stop and go stuff. I have the 7g tank and my hubby rides a '17 HD S treet Glide Special with a 6g...

Unfortunately they don't have the 215/65-15 in stock either .. next time I will order the tires well before I need them!! I am in a bind mostly because my Spyder dealer closed yesterday. I called...

Going with the 65.. should be just fine.. :bowdown: Thanks again!

I am trying to get Vredestein Quatrac 5 all the way around. I found the 175/55-15 front tires but I can't seem to find the rear tire anywhere except by special order which may not come in time. My...

AWESOME! :bowdown: thanks for the help.. now I just have to find the rear tire :pray:. My local store has a 205/50-15. I have to get this done soon as we leave on a 7 week X-country trip at the end...

Ok friends. I got lost somewhere in the discussions. :shocked:. I don't know much about tire sizes etc so I really need some help from the experts.
I ride a '16 F3 L. what tires should I get.
...

oops.:opps:

Thanks Pete. I have to make my decision soon.. leaving in 8 short weeks for a 2 month trip and want to have this last issue solved.

I have been struggling with the same question. F4 or MadStad.. I am 5'7" and have a 16 F3L with a Corbin seat. The seat pushes me back a bit further than the stock seat. I have a CalSci screen now...
