• 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.

    What's the Best Way to jack/stand & Remove All Three Wheels at once?

    Rear wheel is off. Tail is securely on jack stands. The swingarm moves waaay less than I anticipated. No need to play with the shock bolt and axle. Thanks again to everyone. Peter, having read many of your tech posts on this forum, I should have known you were nailing it...but some of us...

    What's the Best Way to jack/stand & Remove All Three Wheels at once?

    The swingarm will fold upwards without the shock attached, right? If the shock is secured with a bolt, the swing arm won't move up and down so more stability. I'd still use four jack stands and in the way you stated. There's not much weight in the rail with the wheel removed. At least that's...

    What's the Best Way to jack/stand & Remove All Three Wheels at once?

    I had a similar thought too, Mikey. My thinking was to put both the lower shock bolt and axle back into place. Doing that would stabilize the tail very well, slide jack stands in there and probably good to go for the front end. I'm going to get after it either today or tomorrow. Pretty sure...

    What's the Best Way to jack/stand & Remove All Three Wheels at once?

    Lots of food for thought here. Thanks for the responses. Peter, your Note was interesting. I knew about squaring away the tire valve. However marking it beforehand will eliminate the 'guess work' and I'll make a note of that. Honestly I had no idea about the rubber isolators or pillows...

    What's the Best Way to jack/stand & Remove All Three Wheels at once?

    I operated one when just out of HS. Best tool in the whole dang lumber yard but also outside my budget. :( I've had the Sypder up as far as the HF bike lift would take it but the wheels were on for that trip. Balance was a concern, of course, but very doable. Taking off all wheels at the same...

    That trike lift is awesome. I'd seen it a couple years and thought about it then. Now, it wouldn't get enough use to pay for itself. Good luck with your decision ... if you have the funds and the space, go for it!

    What's the Best Way to jack/stand & Remove All Three Wheels at once?

    I'm probably overthinking this but I'll ask anyway. I've had my '21 F3 in the air for everything from sway bar, shocks, maintenance, etc. But I've never taken off all three wheels at the same time. I'm changing out the three tires. Since the tail has to go up in the air more than the front...

    Those of you that Concealed Carry on your Spyder, what type of holster do you use?

    I live in an open carry state but I carry concealed and have state's license to carry concealed. I used to carry OWB on my right hip, under my tee shirt, vest, jacket. This year I'm trying a belly band, Comfortec. Feels good to change things up now and then.

    Any Yokohama rear tire users? Which?

    Wow, that's a great price. Looks like the price went up, $76.97 now. I'd still be thinking about it at $65.42. I'll keep looking.

    Where do I Find the ABS Bleeder Valve on a '21 F3?

    Where do I Find the ABS Bleeder Valve on a '21 F3?

    Thanks, bikerchris. (That helped me spend less time on the concrete floor which is no bueno for my back.)

    Where do I Find the ABS Bleeder Valve on a '21 F3?

    Title kinda says it all. Getting ready to bleed the brakes on '21 standard F3 and figured I'd ask for directions to the ABS bleeder nipple.

    1330cc Anyone using a DynoJet Power Vision 3 tuner on a 2021 F-3?

    Stock exhaust, cat delete. Fuel Moto builds you a map based on your bike's configuration and then emails the map to you. All you need to do is upload it to the bike's ECU with the Power Vision. Very simple process. DynoJet had no access to a later F3 ECU so, as far as I know, they have one...

    1330cc Anyone using a DynoJet Power Vision 3 tuner on a 2021 F-3?

    Just a quick follow up with this post. Between Lucas/Fuel Moto, DynoJet staff and myself, the DynoJet's PowerVision-3 works brilliantly for my '21 F3. Lucas was more than responsive throughout the entire process of getting the PV-3 tunes available for the F3. He was even answering emails...
