Just wondering what the latest was with your Spyder. Is it out of the shop? Did you make any changes to the fuel map?

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Out of shop. They had to replace coolant overflow box and hoses. The error code issues I had were from the LED taillights I put in. Error free doesn't mean error free on these. Haven't played with MAP yet or replaced the taillights for that matter either ha ha. I will tomorrow though. My wife's is in the shop now for an oil leak but I get a demo on an F3 for the weekend courtesy of them for it taking so long for parts to come down from Canada! I am happy with that trade off. She rides my bike and I ride what could be its replacement. Going on a breakfast run to Tombstone AZ with it.

I am in love with the F3. It is so smooth. Feet forward instead of back is awesome. It corners beautifully. Acceleration is eerily smooth. Only negative is the small trunk.

Yup.
I had the opportunity to test drive one last year at Lone Star Rally. I agree with your assessment on the F3.

Post adjustment update
After four weeks of riding with the optimizer's green zone adjusted, I have been very happy with the results. However, my mpg took a big hit. I am getting about 25 or 26 miles per gallon. So, I am going to adjust the green zone to having just the second led lit and will see what that does.

I still need to play with mine. Isn't it at 3.5 by default?

Mine was factory set to 1 for the green zone.

MPG update
Ok, so I've been riding with the updated setting for the green zone, and my mpg is right at 28 mpg. Performance is less than what it was with led's 2 and 3 lit, but the trade off is slightly better mpg.
Did I buy the Spyder for fuel economy or driving excitement? Excitement of course! So, I will be going back to led's 2 and 3 lit. Might even try bumping up mid range an led or two.

I still haven't taken the time to mess with mine. I know it is set at 2.5. I smell a little extra gas when engine is cold and I am starting from a light. Normally goes away after everything is warm.

What worked best K&N or Factory Air Filter? What year is your bike also?

Hello!
It looks like Torquehound has upgraded to an F3T. I still have my 2010 RS, however, I have since changed my setup. To answer your question, the K&N filter placed inside the stock airbox worked quite well for me.
If you are planning on doing something like what was discussed in previous posts, you have a couple of options. One, remove the stock exhaust and "slip on" an aftermarket and leave it at that. Two, in addition to the aftermarket exhaust, you can replace the stock paper air filter with a K&N, but I would highly recommend you add a fuel modifier if you go this route. Three, add options one and two, but instead of placing the K&N filter inside the stock airbox, remove the box completely and mount a round K&N filter directly on top of the throttle body.
I have since removed my aftermarket exhaust and installed the original. I changed my setup because I wanted tunes for the road but not have to wear headphones or put small speakers in my helmet. So, I added speakers and an amp to my Spyder but the aftermarket exhaust was so loud, it was drowning out the music. Now, the music is so loud, it's drowing out the exhaust! I also had to disengage the fuel modifier, but I did leave the K&N filter inside the airbox.
If you do some digging around, you should find other posts relating to this modification.
Hope this helps.
