• 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.

    I have the fully sintered EBC pads from BajaRon on my F3 and can attest to how well they work.

    Yes it important to properly bleed the hand brake system both at the master cylinder on the handle bars and the slave cylinder that attaches to the clevis. It is also recommended that the brakes be re-bled after riding a few hundred miles to get any stray air bubbles out of the system. i found...

    DESS Key code again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Not wanting to put to fine point on this but I am not buying the radio frequency explanation. The last 2 times my f3 did the bad key error I did not have my cell phone or anything that created radio frequencies. Add to this my jeep and FRS keys are on the same key ring and I have never had any...

    Big City Thunder Baffle

    I don't have db readings but can say the following. Full stock pipe is very quiet. Cat replacement pipe with stock muffler is fairly loud and could be considered too loud for some. Cat replacement pipe with big city thunder baffle with stock muffler takes the edge off and is a bit more quiet...

    Big City Thunder Baffle

    Ok just for fun I'll throw this out there. Everything added to my F3 except the hand brake system was installed by an authorized dealer. This includes sway bar, shocks, brake pads, by pass, and big city thunder baffle. Just got got my Spyder back for the D.E.S.S. issue and there was never...

    Paraplegic new F3-S owner, hi from the U.K

    I too have the ISCI hand brake but did add the Baja Ron fully sintered brake pads. It takes about 200 miles to brake the new pads but once seated they do a great job of stopping the F3. Ron also recommends the rotors as well but was out of stock when I ordered mine. As I said the new pads are...

    tri axis type bars for F3

    Because the grips (for lack of a better word) make up the end of the bars I don't think that there are any after market bars for the f3.

    Fox Shocks

    The upgraded fox shocks are not air adjustable. The fronts are dampening/rebound adjustable along with preload as are the rear but in addition the rear also has the remote reservoir. i can't comment on which are better as I had all put on before I rode from the dealer. Also had the Baja Ron...

    Stupid Newbie question

    My F3 SE6 has never gone into limp home mode. I would probably talk to the dealer and see if there were any codes thrown. Most likely something simple possibly a sensor issue during production or dealer set up.

    At least it was not my F3

    it WAS a gorgeous car. The manager said the tech ran it into a Toyota Prius.

    Seat Question , ordering

    I went back to the stock seat as I found it just fit me better than the cannon ball seat. Now I have a like new seat in the box and about 900.00 less in my pocket.
