• 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.

Which F3's have Sport Mode?

I guess the 2019 F3 LTD doesn't have a "SPORT MODE", or if it does, I can't find it....

Am i missing something?? :dontknow:
 
Why would they not include the "Sport Mode" on the Limited model? It doesn't make any sense to me. The LTD is the top of the line! Why wouldn't you include all the bells and whistles on the top of the line model??
 
Because the LTD is supposed to be the luxury cruiser (with a cruiser position.) The S is the sport/hooligan model.

I'm not disagreeing with you, I just think that if you have the "Top of the Line" you should have all the buzzers and bells. Just because people have the LTD doesn't mean they never want to play a little bit...
I'm going to all BRP customer service later today and see what reason they give for not having it as an option...
 
Only the Sport model has a Sport mode. The Limited model has limited modes. Ha! There is also a difference in rear sprocket size giving the L more advantage on the road or long haul.

One possible reason they did not put sport mode on the Limited is because it is larger, heavier, and more likely to be ridden 2 up. Cutting back the traction controls on a stripped down sport model does not present the same risks as cutting it back on larger, heavier model that is also often pulling a trailer.

I see the smaller sprocket on the Limited as a disadvantage. Less torque for passing at HWY speeds, carrying a (2) up load, and pulling a trailer. From post here and on FB, the larger sprocket doesn't seem get worse mpg. Not many are going to max out the top speed advantage of the smaller sprocket either.

I can't believe that's the reason. Think about it; a potential buyer is forced to buy a lesser bike just to get "Sport Mode"?? Not buying it.

(Can you tell I'm a little upset??)

The Limited has plenty of torque at speed, it's a little soft coming out of the hole, but a brake torque helps with that :shemademe_smilie:
 
When I test rode a 2019 F3-S last week, I never tried the sport mode. Is it a noticeable difference ? Quicker shift points, less shift lag ? Curious...
 
2020 F3 Limited - can't find Sport Mode. Altho it says I have a Sport Mode in my manual, when I push the Mode button, all I get is normal mode - no icon, or eco-mode - eco-icon. I see no Sport Mode?? Is it not available on the Limited model? Probably not, but I have to ask... Thanks.
