What endine size F3-S and RS

[F3Spyderman]

As a matter of interest, does the RS have the same engine and bhp as the 2015/16 F3-S??

[Ex Winger]

No the F3 has the 1330 triple

No the F3 has the 1330 triple

Thanks for the reply. So you are saying that the RS is the twin version, sorry I did not realise that.

All GS & RS models had the 990 series, 998 cc V-Twin.
The RT models prior to 2014, and all ST models had the 991 seriec twin (also 998 cc)
RT models from 2014 to the current model year, and ALL F-3 models have the 1403 series, 1330 cc triple.

the GS ,RS, RSS 990 engines were 106 HP the later (after 2012) 991 engines were 100 HP and the newer 1330 engines are 115 HP ...

[Bob Denman]

Yup!

Many thanks for your replies, now I know which is which.

The two cylinder version is no longer being made by BRP. You can find them in the used market--all new production is with the three cylinder.

Maybe some changes when the new, under $10,000 Spyder is announced.

The two cylinder is still a good machine. I have a 2011 with 30,000 miles and still like it a lot.

Thanks for that. What an amazing Spyder collection you have (and had).
Cheers.

Is that at the rear wheel ?

[Bob Denman]

No: it's at the crankshaft.

[stmike 1800]

Does anyone know what hp is at the wheel ?

[Bob Denman]

You'd have to put one on a chassis dyno to be sure...
My guess? Figure about a 30% loss...
