• 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.

    Performance mods or scrap F3-S?

    Nothing added to bike except myself/200 lbs. On clean pavement in 80+ degree weather, mine CANNOT/WILL-NOT begin to spin rear from standstill! Hmmmm.....

    Why F3 rear axle nut not secured?

    Quick Fix: If concerned, why not just ad another axle nut & thin spring washer? They're thin & it looks like there's enough thread/space.

    Performance mods or scrap F3-S?

    Hi Allan; Based on things I've read on spyderlovers, I suspect they reprogrammed the 17's. (Maybe the Daytona versions?) I'm thinking this may have been at the expense of slightly reducing low end torque? Kind of makes sense from a "liability" standpoint to do this as the 2017 F3-S models...

    Performance mods or scrap F3-S?

    Interesting. My stock D-500 SE (2017) displays almost the opposite behavior. Seems a little "under-torqued" ("torque challenged" actually imo lol) down low..... But unlike what I've read many others say about their F3-s models: She really comes alive around 5,000 and is "very spirited"/pulls...

    trunk release when key doesn't worl?

    Had that problem when my F3s (D-500 SE) was new. "Factory stuck @ delivery" & didn't realize it until home. Thought something was wrong but eventually it released after numerous attempts. I do recall applying light pressure over the latch area numerous times before it opened. (But not while...

    1330 Performance Upgrades

    Had read on other forums that this was one way to disable anti-slip on older machines that did not have provisions to disable traction control.... (After the mod, traction control reporting 0 slip, all input reading off the front wheel.) But even without mod (me simply disabling t/c on my SE...

    1330 Performance Upgrades

    I cannot imagine that BRP's plan is to NOT grow their market. That's how they satisfy their investors. That's how business works. That's how everything works. When it doesn't grow it's either a sign that somethings wrong, end of product life, or market saturation. Two things we can all...

    1330 Performance Upgrades

    Excellent post & 100% spot on IMO. (Still, just a little more "off the line" torque would be sooooo nice! Would justify being able to disable the traction control in an SE.)

    1330 Performance Upgrades

    Price & Performance: Put the two together and that's exactly why you don't see the younger generation riding them. @ 20K+, people expect more performance. Wouldn't take much more either... 10, maybe 15 percent and a lot more of us "young people" lol would be satisfied and more willing to...

    Jump starting with ether OR starting fluid?

    When I dump the clutch rolling downhill, I'm getting spark but she won't light up. I know that WD-40 is much safer to use. It lubricates and is much less likely to melt aluminium, but..... Just kidding lol. ~ Things are getting quiet around here.... roflmao (Thinking the 1330's are pretty...

    Tire sealant timing

    Unless things have changed, most of that sealant/"fix a flat stuff" should have been called "Rim-Wrecker!" Best part (aside from sticking like glue to rims) was the residual effect it has on balance. Would never consider putting it into tire system unless emergency! As far as balancing is...

    IPod or ???

    Music App Tip: "Slacker" (Has an off-line mode after you select entire stations of your music choice for download to phone.) Only $4 a month! (Works AWESOME on my old Android 4.3 phone and there's also an app for iPhones.)

    ** 2017 DAYTONA F3-S (SE) NEEDS MORE LOW-END POWER - BEST WAY FOR REAL RESULTS?? **

    No doubt holding brake will probably work for off the line spin. Figured that would work, but haven't/not interested in holding the brake under load.... (Not what I'm trying to accomplish.) Looking for predictable/mild counter-steering on corner during acceleration from a stop. (Instead of...

    ** 2017 DAYTONA F3-S (SE) NEEDS MORE LOW-END POWER - BEST WAY FOR REAL RESULTS?? **

    Thank you! And yep, think I'll add a few pounds to rear. Will go up 3 lbs. for starters..... Regarding tire pressure: One thing I omitted to mention (but had thought about while writing the initial post) is that when cornering (slow speeds/1'st gear) and the throttle gets punched near...

    ** 2017 DAYTONA F3-S (SE) NEEDS MORE LOW-END POWER - BEST WAY FOR REAL RESULTS?? **

    ** 2017 DAYTONA F3-S (SE) NEEDS MORE LOW-END "PUNCH" - BEST WAY FOR REAL RESULTS?? ** Have read all the forums and even the ECM remapping (Monster) indicates the gains are really more on other models/different gearing and mostly at high RPM's..... (I have no interest in high rpm mods, power is...
