• 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.

    No Tuner/Amp in the usual spot on my '23 F3 - has it moved? Or gone?

    Traded in my '17 F3 Ltd for a new '23 F3 Ltd. I know, if there's no pic, then it didn't happen :roflblack: So here's one. Meet NB (New Blue). I removed the passenger seat to install my Seth Laam and to my surprise, the spot where the '17's Amp/Tuner is empty - the Amp/Tuner is not in that...

    Can't Unlock passenger seat - is there another way/work around?

    Thanks, I had to take a couple panels off anyway, so I ended up lifting up the key cover and Voilà! Got it unlatched.

    Can't Unlock passenger seat - is there another way/work around?

    Is there another way to get the passenger seat unlatched and off? It isn't working with just turning key on the dash. I was wondering if there is a work around. Thanks.

    How long should it take to replace the Wiring harness? ‘17 F3 LTD.

    Woodenfish, after multiple tests and an open case with BRP since the middle of June, BRP determined a new wiring harness was required. The bike has been at the dealer with a whole bunch of panels off already since then. The wiring harness has been on backorder since then too. It was supposed to...

    How long should it take to replace the Wiring harness? ‘17 F3 LTD.

    It’s a long backstory, but does anyone know what the allotted hours BRP says it should take to replace a wiring harness in a ‘17 F3 LTD. Trying to get an approximate cost. Dealer hasn’t been specific. All help will be much appreciated.

    Any opinions on New Rear Tire Costs?

    WOW just talked to dealer about changing out my rear tire on my 17 F3-L. Almost fell out of my chair - 3 hours work time at $152 per hour and $180 for a new Kenda! Fronts would be 1 hour for each tire at $152 and $105 per tire. Shocked is what I was. I know dealers gotta make a buck, but those...

    Brake fluid flush cost - yikes! Does this sound right?

    I left it there and they will call before they do anything- I will ask if the brake flush is necessary and will it include the ABS and BUDS purge.

    Brake fluid flush cost - yikes! Does this sound right?

    This post is a follow up to a previous post I submitted about a terrible squeaking chirping sound from what seemed to be coming from front and rear of the bike when I would brake and after I then accelerated. Blueknight helped with some insight that I wasn't able to do since I don't have a jack...

    Brake fluid flush cost - yikes! Does this sound right?

    Just dropped off F3 Ltd - needs brakes all the way around. Said they will check brake fluid, if it needs to be flushed the cost is about $425.00 because of the ABS. That was a jaw dropper. Anyone else had this done? Does it sound right? Just hit 15000 miles - and yea I drive it on the hard side...

    That wiggly VSS light

    Great idea, Whats weird is that light hasn't shown up before and when starting it sounds like when a your car needs a new starter without that WHIRR sound. Nothing then it kicks over. My technical jargon exhibits my technical no-how! haha
