• 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.

    USING THE ECO MODE 1330 Engine

    F3 same as rt in Australia lucky ozzies have the same gearing on the f3 as the rt here in Australia and europe i noticed some f3 riders in USA with 1330 trying to compare mpg. Bit pointless as the rear sprocket / gear is different. THEORETICALY an f3 will not on average get the economy of a rt...

    Blue Ridge Install Question???

    The 2 bolts/screws that go in to the round front pivot bolt should be tightened up holding the round pivot on one side where there are flats to put an open ended spanner on it. The 2 bolts that go in near the gauges have 1/2 round rubber washers. This is NOT in the instructions and do not...

    Leaking sealant from F3 Engine?

    Get it looked at closely by a dealer not to alarm you too much. a dealer here in oz has had 2 1330 engines replaced due to porous castings. Good that you have the photos, send them to the dealer by email so you can make sure they follow up with brp if needed.

    Dealer telling me the truth?

    BRP foot boards can be problematic (especially passenger ones) . The bolts have yellow lock tight and are metal to brass. Hint undo one and do it back up and undo the other one, do it back up to take up slack (put pressure back against the brass bush) and undo the first one then the slightly...

    Dealer telling me the truth?

    ALL My opinion - Do your sums. I got the complete touring package for my F3S. 25% off. If I bought individually I would have received 10% off each item. Basically it is harder to get aftermarket gear in Australia due to exchange and shipping rates, so wnet with the package. The chrome wheels...

    GET A GRIP ON IT

    hi, when you take the end cap off, just make sure you do not play with the spring it should stay put when you slip the new one on. It can come out but will not just fall out. maybe to be safe you could put a few small washers on the bolt and screw it back in so the spring stays put you can then...

    Rear Sproket Change

    I costed this for USA residents last year and cautioned re having to replace the modules. i costed it about $2,700 us$. you would have also needed to replace the belt guards. I suppose it is a case of cutting losses or making the commitment. if the dealer advised you that it could be done let...
