• 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 type of Battery does my F3S have?

    Just had to change the battery in wife's '15 F3S. Got it used couple years ago, looks like it had the OEM Yuasa in it. Not home, up at vacation place but got a US made Deka AGM replacement.

    What Trailer is big enough to haul an F3 AND an Indian?

    I'm using a 6.5x14 landscape trailer. Only 225 mile tow to 2nd place. Went cheap as no need for a bigger enclosed have a 6x12 now. F3 and a Road King fits on. RK goes on a slight angle behind the F3. Couple pieces of 1x6 for front tire ramps for the low hanging F3 to clear the trailer ramp...

    Battery Tenders - should you use them or not?

    Battery Minder Plus on all my batteries. 10 yrs on a HD battery, changed due to age. Same on one of my snowmobiles with no recoil, 10 yr change due to age. Just doubling the life of a battery pays for the maintainer. I only use the desulfating models with temperature compensation. Currently...

    Would you buy a Chinese motorycle?

    Nope, and not even a free one. Tons of experience in my previous life with Chinese built appliances like LG (lucky goldstar), Samsung (mfg. in china) and GE. GE appliances belong to Haier now which is China not German. That said safety is not a concern in China, minimal construction to get it...

    A Message for the Moderators

    I'm a moderator on 2 auto sites. That said folks need to vent, most think vehicles are like toasters in that they need zero attention or never fail. Most mods let folks air themselves out until it gets excessive or insulting then they drop the hammer. With any make, model or brand those...

    Anyone use Flowgenix on their Spyder?

    I'm going to try this next on my vehicles and the Spyder as I like my plastic looking like new also. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SHJVK4G/?coliid=I35WKW0QN63SPC&colid=1V1089W2QKM8H&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1

    Wife's New to her Spyder! Tips welcome !

    My wife is at a year now on her F3S. She wasn't comfortable on 2 wheels, got her license at 50 via a M/C training course, only rode 2 wheels for a few months and stopped riding her own bike, now she's an old pro on the Spyder at 67. Long time snowmobilers so that was a giant help for her plus...

    Anyone use Flowgenix on their Spyder?

    I've gone to TW Ceramic spray wax. Used to use TW Ice, the Ceramic lasts longer. It will last all winter on my other vehicles with snow and ice exposure. No issues on black plastic either, spray on and wipe off. Shine improves after 24 hrs.

    Riders Etiquette, "The Salute"

    My observation riding my HD behind my wife on her F3S. 2 wheels don't always wave to her, but they do to me if they wave. Especially the Hardley Ableson riders. Sporting bike riders, 50-50. HD riders mostly are HD snobs. News flash, a HD is no big deal. 20 yrs. on my Road King, 40 yrs. total...

    Recent BRP Email for 2023 model pre-orders

    I see them using the pre orders as a barometer on how many they actually plan to produce figuring in total production and replacement parts stock and average dealer orders for floor stock. I've always bought my new snowmobiles in Jan. when BRP discounted leftovers, that's not happening anymore...

    Whoa Nellie! Large oil patches on roads left by cars!

    2x on diesel. At least you can smell it ahead of time and get prepaired.

    Why would the clock self-reset to 24 HR format? Fixes? Ideas?

    BRP dash modules all have poor clocks. My '09 and '13 snowmobiles have the same loosing time issue as my wife's '15 F3. Here's a pic of the similar looking sled dash modules.

    Anyone tried other spark plugs?

    Factory plugs only in my many toys for no issues. Which is NGK in Rotax motors. NGK iridium's in my HD is they only deviation on factory plugs as OEM are just copper plugs. Champs, only in my mowers or snowblowers, nothing else.
