• 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.

    Dropped bolt down steering column hole - is it ferrous? Likely recovery locations?

    Yup, I'm still a relatively new rider, I am not doing this again. Still, feel it's a right of passage and I've earned some kind of badge for the effort, so I'm all-in-all happy with the outcome. :D

    Dropped bolt down steering column hole - is it ferrous? Likely recovery locations?

    Final update: finally managed to extract the blasted thing. Had to dislodge the front headlight (and so take off all the front fairings that cover their bolts, which is a lot), run the endoscope up the right side over the engine so I could see what I was doing, and have a buddy hold a vacuum...

    Dropped bolt down steering column hole - is it ferrous? Likely recovery locations?

    Update! I found it! Thank heavens for the endoscope - there is zero chance I'd have been able to locate it any other way. And boy howdy, that mother is in there - lodged between two frame components between the air box and the engine. Tried to ram it with the endoscope to dislodge and see if I...

    Dropped bolt down steering column hole - is it ferrous? Likely recovery locations?

    Thanks, those are great suggestions - picked up both the grabber and the vacuum, gonna have a go at it again this evening after work. I've taken off the side panels and dug around inside for a while, but still haven't actually found the thing.

    Dropped bolt down steering column hole - is it ferrous? Likely recovery locations?

    Welp, I dunnit. Was re-installing my Lamonster handlebar clamp GPS mount on my '23 F3-T and fat-fingered the swivel bolt, dropping it down the hole of the steering column. It clattered around for a second or so on its way down, but failed to emerge from the bottom of the bike. Few questions for...

    Does your Saddlebag need to be slammed to latch?

    I normally keep my cover rolled up in it, but it's not overstuffed, and it requires slamming even when empty.

    Does your Saddlebag need to be slammed to latch?

    Hi all! Riding a <1k miles 2023 F3-T, does anybody else have an issue where they have to slam the ever-loving sin out of their saddelbag doors in order to get it to latch? It's only the left bag for me, but I routinely have to blast the door closed like a freshly-grounded teenager in order for...
