• 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.

    New battery - could it be dead after just 1 year?! Any ideas?

    Thank you, I thought that riding weekly is enough to keep it charged, maybe I should not have trusted them on the charging statement, but, I do not have a charger. Will use a tender from now on.

    New battery - could it be dead after just 1 year?! Any ideas?

    Replaced the battery in June 2021 on my 2015 F3S with Yuausa, purchased from the dealer, they said it was charged before the sale. Yesterday, the bike did not start, seemed like it tried to crank but did not have enough juice. Called AAA, jump started just fine. I usually ride about 20-30...

    Bad Key, not DESS Error - anyone else? Ideas?

    2015 F3S here with 18000 miles, periodically upon turning the key to "on" position I get the message "Bad Key", If I take it out and reinsert, everything is fine.

    Any ideas about a Coolant leak before stealership visit?

    F3 Front Sprocket Inspection

    2015 F3 SE6, checked the sprocket about 4k miles ago, was clean, checked it again yesterday: red dust. 14K miles on the odo, does this automatically mean bad sprocket or I should have a dealer take a look? I know parts are about $130, any idea on time required to replace? Thanks for the replies...

    Thinking about a two wheeler

    RS was actually more along my style Mostly backroads, some freeway No night or off road Will be a weekend toy for about 30-50 miles Always ride solo No multi day trips I was thinking about an R3, will it feel underpowered after a 1330 cc on a spyder?

    Thinking about a two wheeler

    I've owned spyders since they came out. Started in 2008 with an RS and now have a 2015 F3 . Both SE5, no previous motorcycle experience. Should I start with a 300cc or a 600, Spyder is a 1330, but I assume much less torque than a Yamaha R6, what do you think?
