    I have ridden both. I was not really impressed with the larger engine. Maybe it is a little better, but I would definitely not pay a few thousand dollars for the "upgrade".

    Tried to start the old 2012 RTL today

    After three weeks of bad weather, it started right up!
    These are quality machines. One of the best vehicles I have owned. Only 5,500 miles, too.
    I need room in the garage, so I will probably sell...

    What I mean is, apples to apples. Checking it the same way, under the same conditions. It took one quart. I've confirmed it.
    And I did not add a quart all at once.
    I'm checking it just like the...

    I'm happy to report that my oil- checking process is repeatable. I do it exactly as the owners manual says. So that doesn't seem to be a problem.
    The answer to my question is one quart, for future...

    Yes, the faulty cause and effect relationship. We have all fallen for it. Just because two things happen, does not mean that one causes the other.
    I would have had the same though process as you....

    How much oil... to the top of from the low point on the dipstick?
    I just don't want to overfill it.

    You can buy brushes of all sizes to clean wheels. They are the best way, in my opinion.
  12. Using thumb shifter - my solution to a reach issue.

    I'd rather shift with my foot, but it is what it is.

    My thumb is double jointed and it was not comfortable to use the thumb shifter for me. Until now.
    I used to reach my thumb down to the area...

    I just don't put anything valuable in there. If I ever do, I will lock it. I normally park in the garage so no need to lock it there. And I work on a secure army base so not much vehicle theft.

    I will wet my pants with water up in the thigh area and also my shirt around the shoulders. Feels very good when it is hot.

    I just ran mine about 15 miles after the low fuel light came on and I could only get 5 gallons in it. I assume I had about a gallon left still.

    If your fuel gauge is working, there is no reason...

    I just filled up with 93 octane with no ethanol!!! Woohoo!!!

    Gas without ethanol will get better mileage but I do not think octane will affect mpg enough to notice. At least I do not see why it would.

    If you do it, wear a long sleeved shirt and keep it wet. Wet the thighs of your pants, also. You can wear a perforated jacket if you want protection (recommended).
    Drink lots of water! It is easy to...

    I would have recommended an RTL in a heartbeat. I'm intrigued by the F3 recommendations. Why, other than reduced cost?

    In the end, the mold determines the final tire dimensions for a given wheel and inflation pressure. But every tire size has tolerances. The tire manufactures do have control over it, but the size...

    I have a 2012 and I rode a 2017. I do not get the fascination with the 3 cylinders. Nice engine to be sure, but so is the 2 cylinder. To each his own, I guess. I would not pay a lot of money to...

    Ok, thanks for the responses. I will compare it to some of the aftermarket ones to see if I can find a match. Then maybe I can figure out if it is adjustable.
  29. OEM(?) F3 windshield - is this adjustable or not?

    I'm assuming this is the OEM windshield. Please let me know if it is not.

    This is a 2017 F3 and it is pretty basic (no saddle bags or rear trunk).
