• 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.

    Is it ok to skip through gears when downshifting?

    You're right Yes, I absolutely downshift to match the speed, I just don't release clutch between shifts if I know I'll be 100% stopping (like a red light ahead)

    Is it ok to skip through gears when downshifting?

    Sorry for a newbie question, but this has been bothering me: I got F3S SM6, and when I need to stop I pull in the clutch and step through the gears until 1st or neutral while pushing the brake pedal. Am I supposed to engage the clutch between gears? Mechanically it shouldn't matter since the box...

    To much weight!

    Two Options The way I see it - there are only two options: 1. Loose weight (Many of us have the same problem, so don't take it personally). 2. Ride as-is until rear shock gives out and replace it with a better one. First one will make you thin, keep you healthy and enjoying riding for more...

    Install Lamonster's Fog Light Kit without panel gap (F3, F3-S, F3-T)

    Does it really take 300 miles?

    I've heard someone say it takes 300 miles to get used to the Spyder and fall in love with it if you only used to riding 2-wheelers. Before that mark you might hate it and regret the purchase. I wasn't victim to this, since I haven't owned a proper motorcycle and the only substantial experience...

    Your Reason For Getting A Backrest?

    backpack I'm not getting the backrest because I often ride with a backpack. Backrest will make it impossible. If you worry about mounting/dismounting - get one that folds down.

    Check Engine on

    Gas goes bad From Owner's Manual: "NOTICE: Always use fresh gasoline. Gasoline will oxidize; the result is loss of octane, volatile compounds, and the production of gum and varnish deposits which can damage the fuel system." I'd contact your dealer. Most likely your fuel injectors got...

    UltraGard I'm using this one on my F3-S: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BM6BDN8 You can wait for the sale - I bought mine for $68. It's surprisingly well made for the money, it has zippered pockets for windshield and passenger backrest. Easy to cover and take off. I like it.

    Fuel octane explained.

    Sea Foam No. Sea Foam is a detergent and a stabilizer. It dissolves carbon deposits and controls the moisture in the gas. It does not change the octane number, but it does prevent gas deterioration. You can avoid spending money on fuel detergents by putting Top Tier gas in your tank. Just...

    Fuel octane explained.

    All good points Thank you for your feedback. Those are all good points. The engine management and gasoline chemistry is more complicated than can be discussed here, that's why I stressed my oversimplification. When using 87 octane fuel you're not guaranteed that each and every stroke of the...
