• 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.

    Thoughts on ever-changing vehicle needs and wants

    Re: muscle cars and trucks. I'm fascinated by them. I understand the appeal. I've driven a few, mostly some owned by Navy buddies. Harnessing that power and potential for speed is intoxicating. But, I've never been able to justify owning something like that; I'm just too pragmatic. I'm also no...

    So, is that a need and want for brute force and speed that's being satisfied there? Dunno RE: The name of the thread is 'needs and wants'...

    Any recommendations for 3-season long distance touring jacket and pants?

    I appreciate all the feedback - it was a great starting point and helped me narrow down my choices considerably. After a lot of consideration, I've ordered boots, pants, and jacket from RevZilla, so we'll see whether I still like them once they get here and I've had a chance to try them on for...

    Random thought for the day

    I wonder just how many families conformed to the sit-com norms of the '60s? Probably not many. But, everyone had to pretend that 'Father knows best' because that is what was expected of them... and they passed it down to their sons, etc. We're only just now starting to see 'real' people and...

    I can see carrying your own coffin around with you when driving that thing. Makes a lot of sense!

    Any recommendations for 3-season long distance touring jacket and pants?

    I've been looking at the Formas. Thanks for the feedback Alpinestars seem to get good reviews for boots. I'll take a look at their gloves. Thanks.

    Random thought for the day

    What a crappy thing for mothers to do - put the onus on the dad for punishing the kid for something the mother couldn't handle on her own (and presents to the dad in a biased way). Dads want to have their own way of relating to their kids. Sorry, this pushed some buttons for me.

    2018 F3T totally dead - any thoughts or advice?

    Thanks for staying in the conversation. A lot of people ask for help and then disappear.

    2018 F3T totally dead - any thoughts or advice?

    I agree. It does not seem like a DESS issue, but rather a simple wiring issue. I think you're right to suspect the main battery wiring. That's where the focus should be at this point.

    2018 F3T totally dead - any thoughts or advice?

    I'm going to try uploading a file with my RT's main wiring diagram. I can't imagine your bike is much different. I tried uploading a pdf file, but it's too large. If you want me to send you that instead, then DM me with your email address. Maybe someone on this forum has the diagram for your...

    2018 F3T totally dead - any thoughts or advice?

    Yeah, check the relay. If it's getting power to it and the trip wire is energized when the ignition is on, but the fuses are still not getting power to them, it's quite probably the relay. I've had one go bad in the past. If it's not getting power to it's main + contact, then check that wiring...

    Thoughts or Advice on installing Metal valve stems on wheels using FOBO?

    That's good info. I'll have to try to remember your advice.

    2018 F3T totally dead - any thoughts or advice?

    I could be wrong about this @Wheelman, but it's possible there is a relay that has to pick up in order to provide power to the fuse block. This is particularly true with after-market fuse blocks like the Beaver or Big Bike products. It's possible the relay is bad, or it's not getting the signal...

    The 2018 Can-Am Spyder F3-T is not highly prone to the notorious DESS (Digitally Encrypted Security System) "Bad Key" error. While older Spyder models - specifically the 2014 and 2015 model years - suffered from a massive wave of faulty DESS modules that frequently left riders stranded, BRP...
