• 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.

    Any suggestions for a stereo to suit an F3 S?

    Kuryakyn "Sound of Chrome" I have installed these Kuryakyn speakers very close to the grips so they are "in my face" so to speak. They are "pretty good" for riding around town and "adequate" at highway speeds. They are bluetooth speakers and I use my iPhone for downloading...

    F3 Idler Pulley Kit (Part #219800412) Installed!

    Vibration is History! Got mine installed on Friday and it COMPLETELY eliminated the problem...at any combination of gears/speed/rpms. :yes: Small price to pay for the "fix" but I still think it should have been a "recall" (e.g., free) from BRP. Oh well, on to the next obsession. :banghead:

    New spyder

    Cleaning? Or pretending it's not dirty. (Full disclosure - I have the "steel black metallic" 2015 F3.) Now, I will grant you that keeping the Black clean is a bit of a chore, but it's a loving chore for me. Nothing like the drifting off during the mindless application of Mcguire's and...

    Blinkers on front fender of 2015 F3?

    Love them! I have TricLED's fender lights and have them set for blinking (they alternate with the OEM blinkers.) Had a friend follow me yesterday and he said they are GREAT for visibility from behind...both the lights and the blinkers. They are not at all distracting when you are driving but...

    F3 "Idler Wheel Kit"

    Which Month? Would that be Sept or Oct? (Thanks!)

    F3 "Idler Wheel Kit"

    Ordered this (through the dealer) about a month ago. At that time, it said availability Sept 12th. Nothing yet. Has anybody received one yet? :dontknow:

    BRP Cross Country Saddle Bags for F3. Won't stay locked to the bike!

    They do lock. I've had mine for over a year and when you twist the interior locking mechanism, they're not going anywhere. I didn't install my (dealer did) so i really can't help you, but I wanted to reassure you that the system does work. :dontknow: I'm sure someone else on the site will have...

    Madstad Windshield for F3... thoughts?

    Ditto - Great Choice! zero complaints! Love the cross bar...allows mounting of a fork bag above the speedometer (sunglasses, etc. storage). Took about 6 or 7 adjustments before it was "perfect," but it is, "perfect" as far as I'm concerned. Have noticed NO vibration or moving around of any...

    Radiator Fans Running too often/too long

    I did a search and didn't come up with this topic...so...I'm putting this in the general discussion forum instead of the F3 forum because it is really a 1330 issue, not specifically an F3 issue. My 2015 'F3 runs at 4 bars (heat) and never goes above that....good! However, the fans run about 50%...

    GS vs F3

    RT to GS to F3 After owning an RT for 2 years, I traded for an '09 GS manual because I wanted a bit more "motorcycle" feel. Using aftermarket accessories, I tried to turn it into a cruiser, with some limited luck. However, when the F3 was announced, I immediately sold the GS and ordered an...

    Eyes for F3

    Cyborg Eyes Also ordered the Blue...If they don't look good, it will be the cheapest farkle I've thrown away. :opps: "Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time" What more can I say...:D

    Miles to replace >>F3<< Rear tire?

    28 rear Yes, I'm also running 28 in the rear...just forgot to mention that. 15 in the rear might not get me out of the driveway. :yikes:

    Miles to replace >>F3<< Rear tire?

    Thanks...with follow-up Comment I really appreciate all the feedback on my post. :chat: I saw some references to center wear and tire pressure. I'm running 15 psi cold (per manual instructions.) I'll post later when I finally get to replacing the tire if I saw mostly center tire wear. All...

    Miles to replace >>F3<< Rear tire?

    I've seen the "when do I replace my rear tire" threads several times over the years, but I haven't see any reference to the F3. I'm at about 7,500 now and not even close to the tire wear indicators. Question: Has anyone replaced a rear F3 tire yet and if so, at what mileage? :dontknow:

    Passenger switch

    Peter...thanks, but... I agree 100% with your cautions about securing cargo. That's why I actually use 4 super-strength tie downs (the same ones used to secure a motorcycle when trailering it) on my Kuryakyn Gran Tour Bag. It is very secure and unmovable (of course, given that the grab rails...

    Passenger switch

    Okay...I'll admit I don't get this one... What's the difference between carrying a passenger (who would obviously activate the switch if weight is the issue) and cargo (which would seemingly always be less weight than a passenger.) I know there's got to be something obvious here that I'm...

    Highway Pegs on stock Floortboards?

    Not really helpful, but... That's why I didn't get the floorboards. With the OEM pegs, you have at least 3 foot positions available. I also installed LaMonster's "3rd Peg" and when I put my foot on those, it is not unlike riding an RS or a "crotch rocket"...the real nice thing is that it is...

    2016 Spyderfest - Indiana

    Glad to see the responses I'll be getting in Weds evening, hopefully early enough to get registered at Pitbull. I'll be exercising my MasterCard at the Vendor site, but other than that, have no specific plans. I plan to stay until Sunday, but Saturday a.m. departure is a possibility... Just...

    2016 Spyderfest - Indiana

    Thought I'd start this thread again (2016 version) If you're going to Spyderfest this year, just jump in and say so and in a couple of weeks, after we see who all has responded, perhaps we could set a meet-up day/time just to catch up (or get introduced). I'll try to remember to get back on...

    Are F3S windshields just for looks?

    Madstad Wouldn't trade my Madstad for anything I've seen OEM, on this site or on after-market sites. It took me about 50 miles to get it adjusted and it's been great since then. (Can't comment on passenger wind impact because I just never ride 2 up.) I really like the cross support bar for the...
