• 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.

    F3s tires! JUNK!

    Maybe not the tires There is a "triple" vibration from the engine (try search). Happens at around 4000 rpm and you need to go thru it with gear changes. Happens at 58 in 5 gear (SM6), and 68 in 6th gear for me. Try moving up or down and this should be eliminated. Hopefully, a better belt...

    Great Deal on very nice Saddle Bags for F3!

    The strap can go under the rear seat On mine I noticed two issues: the sensor for the passenger, and the pin/lock for the seat. For the sensor, I cut a plastic cap (from a spray can) to size that fit nicely over the sensor - unless you want the sensor to be engaged due to the increased weight...

    Just posting a photo

    The Base F3 - Simple and Clean Lines Love the looks of both the White and Black Base models. I think the lack of the extra chrome make it easy to completely blend the color. With mine, Black base, with blacked out light covers (plasti-dip) and painted aluminum.

    F3 - Electric ports and outlets - Recommendations and reviews

    Beware of the Plug in the Trunk The trunk will need to come out in order to service the battery, or to get to the fuse box. Therefore, the plug will need some thought about placement and being moved when the trunk needs to come out. The plug will need either - a quick disconnect, - or long...

    Madstad Brackets & Shield on a F3

    Excellent Report Thanks - this gives me hope that I bought the correct windshield. There were no other options out there (available), but Madstad seemed like the first good good one. I hope to get mine in a few days. Hope it is as good as you describe.

    darn you demo ride!

    You will Love the SM6 I also asked the dealer to put together the SM6 from the crate. The SE6's sell more, but the SM6's are so much more fun (or so us SM6 owners think). You will not be disappointed, the range in gears (from the 990) is almost doubled, and you will shift less because of the...

    Vibration at 67-75 MPH on F3-S

    Most Triples have a vibration problem Talked to a knowledgeable biker who stated that most Triples vibrate around 4000 rpm, and that the vibration magnifies along the belt. Did a quick google on "vibration and triples" and noted issues with Triumph, BMW, Yamaha, and the Harley-Davidson XL...

    F3 MPG

    First Week Picked up the F3-SM6 last week. First tank - 4.4 gal at 160 miles = 36.3 mpg 2nd tank - 5.5 gal at 200 miles = 36.3 mpg Rides are mostly running the ridges at 50-55 mph in 4th or 5th gear. Only had it in 6th gear a couple of times when I open up over 65. I'm betting that...

    F3 - SM6 or SE6

    Just got my F3 SM6 today. When test driving a few weeks ago, I tested a SE6 because no manual was available (one was in a crate). I asked to set up the SM6, and the rest is history. The dealer stated that over 90% of last years models were SE's - I feel this is true for the RT's, but the F3...

    snowmobile???

    "This is my street legal Snowmobile" Have had snowmobiles for over a decade, and wanted something to run the ridges without snow. Thought of a motorcycle several times, but way too dangerous. The Spyder came along, and it was perfect. Since I did not come from motorcycles, I did not have to...

    RT safety - I'm Impressive!!

    Also, Glad your OK. I've had a few close calls, and got Deer whistles. I complained to a friend that I still keep seeing deer, and he said the deer whistles are working. They are designed to confuse the deer to "keep them where they are" and not to be running in front of you. So far, so...
