• 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.

    Belt Tensioner noise...

    Doc, whether your full idler kit or the BRP and adapted to your roller. How does one check for proper alignment? I assume the two bolt bracket has some slop in it so how does one know if the pulley is aligned properly and then tightened down. I can't recall but is Loctite used on bolts/what...

    Belt Tensioner noise...

    Doc, Fireflys post is on the F3 thread, which suggests that is his model. He also states that he has BRP with Doc upgrades which tells me that he might already have your model that lets you mate the two for a better overall idler pulley. I'm running a BRP idler and over the weekend when I let...

    Insurance problems

    Not sure if she can help you in Canada, but for the rest of you in the States, try this company. I live in Houston, Texas and she gives me a great rate. My 2016 F3T insurance runs me about $550.00 and change a year. Tammi Skiba Ball Insurance Office: 800.444.7014 Office...

    What's with the Loud Whine slowing/downshifting?

    Hey Chet, glad you made it over from the GL1800's. I too installed the OEM idler recently and yesterday when letting off on the throttle I heard a whistling. Give the gas it it goes away. I'm thinking about making the Doc's Idler conversion as he has a setup to use part of what we have and his...

    FOBO TPMS

    Always, always check each battery for correct voltage. Even if new out of the package. After that, try swapping the sensor to see if it's that sensor or the other one. Also if having trouble like this if phone is in one of those heavy duty cases i.e. Otterbox or something like that you may have...

    Bolt in metal valve stems on front wheels/F3T

    Houston, we have a problem.....These units are using a 14mm nut. This will most likely not fit in the recessed hole on the inside of the wheel. The ones you need are using a 12mm nut. How do I know? That picture you see there is a GL1800 wheel and I supply them with the T-valve. Have run into...

    Tired of dropping those washer?

    In working on the F3T this week, I found that the washers were getting misplaced or falling off when I was trying to put things back together. I came up with a solution. Put a very small "O" ring on the thread and capture the "O" ring and now when installing the washer/bolts on the two seat...

    I can't be the only one......

    Well, I came up with a fix for those with the spinning brass threaded insert. It's a little delicate, but it works. I went to Ace Hardware where they have a whole section on little fasteners and stuff. I picked up some roll pins/tension pins. The ones I got were 1/16"x1/2". I use a 1/16 drill...

    F3T rear air shock

    I believe you might have something there. The alarm would go off and then in a little bit the pressure would drop a few points. I may adjust my pressure to be about 32 psi and see how it rises maybe to 40-45 psi. I did make a change on the FOBO sensor on the Schrader valve. Note below the...

    F3T rear air shock

    I recently put a FOBO sensor on my rear shock on the F3T. Set it at 42 psi. Riding two up today I found the pressure zoomed up to 59 psi and set off the alarm for too high a pressure as I had set the baseline to 40 psi. Surprising the action in the air shock is working up and down to the extent...

    I can't be the only one......

    Well, there is little comfort in knowing i'm not alone😅. But no solutions?? How Spyderpops repaired that is a mystery as this brass insert has to come out so one can put some JB weld on to hold it. This is not coming out. It just spins around. I put the screw in a few threads and use it to tug...

    I can't be the only one......

    In adding some farkles to the F3T this week, I had the side panels off. Today I'm putting them back on and the two front screws that go into a brass threaded piece that is embedded in the plastic begins to spin as I get 3-4 threads in. Luckily I got the screw out but the brass insert still...
