• 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.

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

    I agree! However...... The Shad bags were on my list as well and was really interested in them till I saw what the bracket looks like when the bags are off. You see I want the bags and back rest only for trips I take with the wife or if I am making a long distance trip. A lot of my driving...

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

    Guess what? They still pop off! So thought I would check the bags again to make sure they can't be stolen and to my surprise:shocked: they are no longer locked. Not sure they ever really were. So anyone who has these bags and think they can't be removed without turning the large locking...

    EBD FAULT BRAKE FAILURE CODE 2015 F3 SM6 530 miles

    Found it! So there is an adjustment screw right behind the passenger foot pegs and it was completely loose and easily spun by hand. So adjusted the silver nut till brake pedal reset to a place where the brake light was no longer lit. Then tightened brass nut to lock length in place. Will see...

    Not too happy with my F3

    True! You are right about quality. At this price point they need to get it right or people will not spend $20k +++. You can buy a used BMW Z4 for less and have less down time. I will probably be buying that extended service contract for sure if I plan on keeping mine. One thing for sure I...

    EBD FAULT BRAKE FAILURE CODE 2015 F3 SM6 530 miles

    So on my way back from a 70 mile ride (still breaking in) and after braking, my parking brake light indicator comes on and I get a scrolling message of "EBD FAULT BRAKE FAILURE". Everything seems to be working fine. Turned off the bike to see if it would reset. Seemed to clear. Drove a block...

    F3 factory replacement rear shock

    Have not bottomed out! Still in my break in period. Hope to be knocking that out this week if the rain stops. I assume the bottom out occurs during hard driving? Have a 15 F3-S.

    Vibration at 67-75 MPH on F3-S

    Again would be nice if the dealer told you this at purchase! That is good to hear. Hope it goes away on mine!

    Vibration at 67-75 MPH on F3-S

    The dealer should really tell people! New F3 owner as well. 3weeks now and 400 miles. Told dealer about vibration issue and they said YEP! It does that! Unbelievable that they don't have this problem fixed from the factory. A $20k bike should not have that issue. But what's worse is the...

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

    Precise adjustment is the key! So after regrouping this morning and taking another swing at this I was able to get the left side back to lock with a nice solid sound. The right bag was still not doing this :banghead:. Adjusted the bracket on the bike a few more times and also messed with the...

    justed watched promo video again So I just watched the promo video on these bags and it never really says they are locked onto the bike just that they are top load locking with the key. So curious:popcorn:, have you tried to remove your bags from your F3 without turning the dial of the...

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

    spoke to dealerer Called my dealer parts manager, they actually have not installed any yet but said he thinks there is a trick to setting the locking and it may actually require another part. Not to worried about getting it fixed. He was going to call BRP or check some bulletins and get back...

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

    So I have installed my cross country saddle bags and I am pleased with how they look. The lock on the bag is a pain but figure some time will work it's stiffness out. So I thought: Are these bags really locked on the bike? To my surprise they slide right off with out unlocking them...
