• 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.

    F3 SE6 not downshifting automatically & little engine braking - any thoughts?

    I have a 2018 F3 Limited SE6 with approx. 23K miles. All of a sudden it will not downshift automatically. I actually came to a full stop today and the bike was still in 4th gear! I have also noticed that there is little if any engine braking happening when I manually downshift. Also, it seems to...

    Thanks for the tip! I will do that next time. I loved my last set of Vredesteins and wanted another set but you can't always get what you want, but f you try sometimes you get what you need. jeri

    Look what I got today

    Tire Rack I tried to order Vredestein tires for my 2018 F3 Limited a week ago and they kept cancelling the order because they can't sell car tires to put on a motorcycle. :gaah: Just wondering how you get around the car tire on motorcycle problem. I ended up getting Kumhos from a friend who...

    1330cc My 2014 RT is Over heating - any ideas on how to correct?

    OK.. here we go again.. Had the shop replace the water pump, thermostat and temp sensor. They also purged the cooling system. Picked up the bike and within 1/4mile the bike overheated. Turned around and went back to the shop. Left the bike running and still showing HOT. All bars and high temp...

    1330cc My 2014 RT is Over heating - any ideas on how to correct?

    It doesn't get hot when just idling.. my mechanic had it running for 40 minutes and no temp spikes at all. I will check out the rad fins but they look clean from the outside.

    1330cc My 2014 RT is Over heating - any ideas on how to correct?

    Well.. my over heating issue is getting worse..I had the cooling system flushed and my mechanic recommended Engine Ice coolant. I went ahead and had him replace the original coolant with the Engine Ice. Yesterday I went for a 100 mi ride with friends and all was well until we stopped for a few...

    1330cc My 2014 RT is Over heating - any ideas on how to correct?

    Yes.. I do check the coolant level and never have it spew out of any place.. never seen anything under the bike to indicate the loss of any fluid.

    Vredstein Tires

    That is correct..no sway bar. Everything I read about them seems to indicate they are helpful when towing a trailer or riding 2 up.. I ride solo and don't tow so never thought I would benefit from that addition. Am I wrong?? I see a good bit about belt tensioners as well but never thought I...

    1330cc My 2014 RT is Over heating - any ideas on how to correct?

    Everything checked out at the 1st dealership..only some coolant needed. After it happened again I went to the dealer in Rapid City. They worked on it for 2 hours.. ran it for 20 minutes at 2000 RPMs and the fan kicked in at 235 degrees as it should and the temp never got over the 1/2 way mark...

    OK friends.. just returned from 9500 mile cross country trip on my F3 with new Vredstein tires.. Many twisty roads and highways/interstates. My husband had a hard time keeping up with me on the twisties with his Harley. :trike: so I just rolled on past him. Love the tires! felt great on the...

    1330cc My 2014 RT is Over heating - any ideas on how to correct?

    Just got back from a 9500 mile trip cross country on my 2016 F3 Limited, and had several problems with overheating of the engine. Once going into Palm Desert but the air temp was 114F not a big surprise when we got off the interstate into town with traffic lights the bike overheated. I got off...

    Vredstein Tires

    I had to take my Spyder to an independent bike shop to have them mount the car tires for me as my Spyder dealership closed unexpectedly. I think my dealership would have done it for me but maybe not. I would just look for a bike repair shop that works on trikes. They should be OK with it. I took...
