• 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.

    F3-s tyre pressures

    My operator's guide refers me to the inside of the right side inspection panel on the bike. I cannot find any mention of tyre (tire) pressures. Or inside the left side inspection panel. Can someone tell me what they are, please?

    Are Spyder sales Declining Fast?

    if you think they have a bad rep for reliability, watch Great Rydes on YouTube. 64,500 miles on an F3 and going strong. And by no way is he unusual.

    New owner: F3-s

    In a couple of weeks, I am going on a tour of Portugal, Spain, France, Andorra and back into Spain and through it following a different route and home to southwest Portugal. I will take my camera and post some photos when I get back. Thanks for the info on Sports mode, and the fact it...

    New owner: F3-s

    Picked it up from the local dealer in southwest Portugal yesterday. I found the transition from motorcycle easy. It felt a bit flat, though. But when I got home, I realised I'd been in economy-mode. The ''frunk'' feels a bit flimsy, and the rear-seat flimsily attached, but other than that, it is...

    F3 Dash

    You say unfortunately with the original F3 dashboard. Why? What's wrong with them?

    New owner f3-s

    You probably like your legs stretched out. I prefer the idea of a slight bend. So maybe position 3. Thanks to both of you for answering.

    New owner f3-s

    I paid for my new F3-S yesterday and pick it up in a fortnight as they have to order the bike. I am in southwest Portugal. I will not be measured up for the bike in terms of the footpeg position. What is the standard setting? Position 3 of the 5? I am an inseam 32 inches. Would position 3 suit me?

    Security

    Thanks for the disc lock on the rear wheel tip. I don't get the F3 until mid- August.

    Security

    Thanks. Doubt it would get stolen in Portugal, where I live, or the parts of Spain I will ride to. But if I went to England, auto theft capital of the world, anything is possible.

    Security

    What do F3 owners do to secure their bikes? I am getting one next month but doubt my disc/rotor lock will work.

    Best saddlebags for 2015 F3-S

    I have a set of Hepco & Becker Gobi cases from my old KTM 950 Adventure from the mid-2000s. I was hoping that they did a frame for the F3-S, but it seems they don't. Shame. I get my F3 in three weeks.

    Spyder f3-s panniers/bags

    I have been looking at YouTube videos, but I can't work out what all the options are. If you want hard bags/panniers which lock to the bike, then Shad seem to be the ones. Are there any others? It's a shame Hepco & Becker don't make frames for this bike as I have a set of Gobi panniers which...

    Front and rear seat backrests

    Are the BRP front and back seat backrests of good quality and a good fit? I am buying a new F3-S in August and I have been offered 1,000 euros towards accessories. Those two and the Mono Seat Cowl are three things I'm interested in.

    3000 mile service f3s

    So the bike doesn't need an initial oil change until 3,000 miles? Is the oil in the engine from new mineral or semi-synthetic?

    RELIABILITY

    Thanks for this post, MakoShark2. You are the second Lisbonite (the other was on the FB Portugal page) to tell me he has no issues in the first 15,000 km or so. That is encouraging. Since my last post, I have found out AngelPilot stock these bikes, and I am going to take a look early next week...
