• 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.

    Curious if others have had battery issues with newer OEM Batteries?

    We replaced my wife's 2105 F3 with a 2024 F3T last summer. After a few months, it was obvious (for a few reasons) that her battery was not up to par. Our dealer agreed and replaced her battery. After a few weeks, it was clear that the new battery was also bad. I don't recall the battery brand...

    Are the stock cables long enough when installing short reach bars?

    I am the perfect guy to answer your question. Just recently, on my wife's 2024 F3T I installed the risers because the bars were on backorder. The bars came in and I was able to install the short reach bars WITH the risers. That combo really made a difference for my 5' tall wife. (I had actually...

    Anyone done a Cat Delete leaving stock muffler on?

    I've done a cat delete in many cars and have always been happy with the results. When I've used a shop to do a cat delete (some cars required a pro with abilities beyond mine), their work was always done after-hours ("secretly") to avoid the massive fines businesses could face for performing the...

    Anyone else notice the excessive amount of throttle twist/rotation required??

    I taught trigonometry for 35 years and your explanation here is what I would have said in my classroom. That's also why you can read a centercap logo on a wheel at 30 mph, but not the tire size on the sidewall. Those linear velocities (in feet per second) are quite different while their...

    Anyone else notice the excessive amount of throttle twist/rotation required??

    Thank you. The number of rotational degrees is NOT affected by the diameter (or radius or circumference) of the circle.

    Anyone else notice the excessive amount of throttle twist/rotation required??

    How does a larger diameter grip alter how many degrees one must turn grip to achieve WOT?

    Are warped discs a common problem with Spyder Front Brakes?

    My experience with high performance automobiles taught me that most of the pulsations from "warped" rotors were actually due to uneven deposits on the rotors rather than a warped rotor. Of course, replacing rotors/pads "cured" that issue, too.

    Why is the Factory PSI thread closed?

    Many of us are trying to arrive at the facts. If, indeed 15 front is correct, then 25 front is possibly dangerous. (erratic handling, diminished traction). If, indeed, 25 is correct, then 15 is equally bad. We need answers to this very important question. 1 psi, in either direction, affects how...

    When did BRP start using Kanines?

    But... her BajaRon swaybar helped keep things under control!

    When did BRP start using Kanines?

    We belong to the group that places traction above mileage. Many of our Vipers, Corvettes, AMGs, etc. had ultra-perf summer-only tires that were lucky to get 8-10K miles. Their low mileage was easily worth the incredible traction they offered. We ran Vredesteins on her last F3 and liked them. We...

    When did BRP start using Kanines?

    We've run automotive tires on her past Spyders and were anxious to see how the Kanines compared as an OEM tire this time. Seems that I misunderstood the inclusion of Kanines as the new Kenda tire. So, it looks like we'll just go back to Kumhos, etc. after she burns through these Kendas.

    When did BRP start using Kanines?

    My wife's 2024 F3T doesn't have Kanines on it . I thought that has been the new Kenda for a few years now. Please enlighten me.

    1330cc How fast can I safely run my F3 for how long?

    Most vehicles will not attain their top speed in their highest gear due to the engine's particular TQ/HP curves. For example, some 6-speed cars will go their fastest in 4th gear, 10-speed cars top out in 8th gear, etc. Even on a bicycle, one can likely go faster in a lower gear at a higher rpm...

    When, if ever, was a belt dampener factory-installed on F3?

    Every time I read about this I seem to find various answers. My dealer doesn't have a for certain answer. (I know aftermarket products have long been available and we've installed them) Our 2024 F3T does not have one. I'm also aware of the swingarm change (RT style) in more recent models. Has...

    What's the Accuracy of the Speedometer?

    First of all, not all 215/60 tires are the same size.(go to Tirerack chart to see variances in circumferences) So, that's not always a fix. I think the speedos are off by a fixed per cent, certainly not logarithmically. That's why it's off by 1 mph at 30mph, 2 mph at 60 mph, etc.
