• 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.

    X-creen Tour saved my Blue Ridge

    I have the same set up as in the stebrok pictures. It looks good and works well for me 5 11. I like the fact it takes 1 minute to adjust. The slight curve at the top of the BRP screen is not a problem as the rubber in the clamp takes up the difference. I am going try it at the highest setting...

    F3 Packages

    Lucky me I received 20% off retail when I purchased all the items in the touring pack. Australian model has the longer exhaust. The longer Akrapovic was not available so I got the fox factory series 2.0 podium rc2 rear shock instead. Plus sub and 12v and heated grips. fitted it all myself...

    Spyder F3 Third Peg Now has options

    Get what you pay for Anything mass produced on a CNC machine in China will be crap compared to Lamonsters USA made items. Chinese production use tolerances that allow for speed and they change their cheap tooling when it can hardly cut butter. Seen it and as an engineer I can tell you 'you get...

    First F3S down under.

    Its home Hi, BRP Australia confirmed I got the first one in Australia. I have put most of the bits on it towards a full touring escape pack. A few items were NOT easy to put on PROPERLY I think some dealers may take a few short cuts as I see a few threads that point towards dealers not...

    First F3S down under.

    Hi, I ordered my Magnesium black F3S on 12 September 2014. Today I picked up it up, the first one sold in Australia. Insurance companies did not even have it on their computers.

    I've made a cockup!!.........

    Life would be tragic if it weren't funny - Stephen Hawking Geoff, You will need to resist implying that our USA friends are an obstreperous bunch of really nice people. I noticed that your UK friends are very supportive of you (as we all are). Where are all the bikini clad girls, I did not...

    Full speed on the Autobahn

    Dreamers As I said the f3s MAY get to 120 anything above 120 is dreaming (anything above 115 for USA model.) 'on a long downhill straight the Australian Europe model may get to 120.' Life would be boring if we could not dispute theories, we would be still falling of the edge of the world. I...

    Full speed on the Autobahn

    the charts are in kph i did highlight theoretical. Engineers have to start somewhere. That's why they added an extra gear. My point was that there are 2 differently geared and nannied models. The gearing and nanny will not let it go past 112 mph 180kph in 5 at 8000 USA model. The nanny will...

    Full speed on the Autobahn

    FInal drive makes a diference. Hi, The Europe model/Australian version has better gearing to go faster, so Europe fellow is most probably no BS with his top speed. some more THEORETICAL figures for each gear. First is for USA version and second for Europe/Australia. Note final drive ratios...

    What do you see different about this F3?

    Australian Design Rules Hi, BRP gurus advised me (when I visited BRP Sydney headquarters in Botany when the first F3S arrived) that they had to keep the sprocket the same as the RT to comply with Australian Design Rules. Specifically to keep the decibels down at given speeds. I have put...

    Asia Pacific Launch of F3

    Rarely snows In Sydney I was lucky enough to see the F3S (mag/black the colour I have ordered) at BRP headquarters in Sydney the day it arrived and play on it with the UFIT system. The very first time I have sat on a running Spyder. I got to rev it up. The best they let me do was put my number...

    Asia Pacific Launch of F3

    Hi, Put a deposit on an F3S in Oct 2014. Australian launch is 12 May and I should get mine around 20 June (mid Winter). I now know how much it will cost me. Seeing all the fun that everybody is having will make the 9 month wait bearable (just). I am glad that I have ordered one, as I have not...

    Out for a nice 100 mile...

    Same in Australia Hi Geoff, We have fixed ANPR and ALL our highway patrol cars can scan number plates as well, up to 5 a second and see if the vehicle is unregistered or wanted for anything etc. They have just about eradicated unregistered vehicles on the road. = Very little revenue collecting...
