In the mountains

[Kennard]

Just wokeup and experienced the reason I leave Fl for the summer, 59 degrees this morning. Spent yesterday putting about 100 miles on the new F3 driving ahead of my wife on her RT/S. Great ride and very forgiving, nanny slept most of the ride. Lots of waves and conversations along the way. Stopped long enough for a great lunch, surprised when a Harley buddy asked me to go back out and do it again. Look forward today continuing the breaking in of the F3. By the way, my Harley is setting back in the hot shop in Fl. I wonder if it knows it's days are numbered. Only concern to the same belt vibration at 65 and it appears the belt is slam tight against the inside of sprocket. Ok suns up day two.

I am about 2000m on mine now since 4/27 (all local mt drives). Put on 260m just yesterday with the wife. LOVE IT!
(And the vibration, unless you happen to be at that speed trigger it was minimal... in-fact a nit at best yesterday. I
do admit it is there). My belt is riding the outer edge of the rear also. I may attempt a small adjustment but honestly
the F3S is just a pleasure to drive.

I thought when I had my Harley I would never see the day that anyone charges more for parts/service than Harley Davidson... but I have to say I was dead wrong.. BRP has Harley beat hands down....

I think the mother of all profit makers is BMW, with Ducati just off their tail. (But you are right that BRP
has some astronomical prices on items)

Glad to hear you are enjoying your new ride. Those mountain trips are great. :yes::yes:

Fixing to hit 7000, got the same belt chatter, adjusted several times, just RPM above or below it, also crown of the road sometimes feel like a belt chatter, watch the crown as on a bike..
