• 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 S fog lights staying on regardless of switch - what's wrong with this picture?

    I have the Lamonster fog lights for my 2022 F3s. They are installed per directions and connected to the fog light connectors standard on the bike. The switch that was provided with the kit is lite at all times whether the lights are on or off.

    Trying to Replace tail light bulb on 2015 F3s - any help?

    I have found that you need to give a twist and a dip to remove on my 2022. The glass "bulb" is larger than the hole it mounts in so you have to manipulate it to position the area where the globe meets the base into the opening at an angle and pull it out. It feels like it is stuck but it will...

    How do you know when your tank is low on fuel?

    The problem is related to the shape of the tank and how the guage is made. Think of the tank like a gallon jug that has a smaller diameter at the top and a much larger diameter from the upper 2/3 to the bottom. The gas gage inside the tank is a float on a straight stick without any compensation...

    Wheels falling off?

    This goes back to the 2019 model year when this first began happening to those Rykers assembled in February 2019 and after. It was established that the issue was related to a change in the bar stock the wheel nuts were made from. This change resulted in SOME wheel nuts developing cracks in...

    How do you know when your tank is low on fuel?

    I reset the trip at every fill-up and use the autonomy setting Full tank is about 185 miles or slightly less depending on driving style. Low fuel indicator comes on when autonomy reports 34 miles to go.

    Gas - do you use a funnel to fill?

    I have used a gas can and the funnel only once. Found that the added fuel did not register on the fuel gauge. Took a couple of fillups at the pump to get the guage to work as before. Good thing I use the autonomy setting and trip settings to monitor mileage between fillups.

    Handlebar rotation

    Rather than removing all the controls to achieve a more comfortable riding position i added ROX risers to my Rally. I used the 3.5" risers. I now have the ability to adjust fore and aft as well as up and down for a customized riding position. The bike is now easier to manuver and feels more...

    Shad saddlebag on a Rally?

    No issue here either. If it does get dirty just wash the back off with a hose.

    Syn or semi syn 5-40?
