• 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.

    Given that you've ridden both the manual and the semi-auto, which do you prefer?

    ECONOMY

    Getting better. I wonder if the manual ones are slightly more economical. Manual trans cars are always a fair bit more so than autos.

    Is yours a manual or semi-auto?

    RELIABILITY

    I think I've been convinced reliability-wise. Thanks for the info, but if anyone has anything else to say, I'd like to hear it.

    I can't believe a modern synthetic oil in a liquid cooled engine is breaking up after 3,000 miles. I always leave my fully synthetic oil in my B-King for 6,000 miles.

    ECONOMY

    I'm surprised it isn't more economical. It's only a 1330 cc engine in a relatively low state of tune propelling a vehicle that weighs a lot less than a 1300 cc car. The car would get more than that. Driven the way you two describe, my B-King would get at least 10 mpg (US ones) more. EDIT: I've...

    ECONOMY

    Motorcycles have become much more economical in recent years. I was wondering what the F3 does to the gallon (US gallon is fine. I can convert) on a tour at, say between 60 and 90 mph average speed. Not using the Eco button.

    V twin vs 1330

    The 1330 never needs its valves adjusting? Are they done hydraulically like a Harley/Buell?

    RELIABILITY

    That's encouraging. I also have a Buell Ulysses, so snapping final drive belts are something I have experienced. Has anyone experienced one of them with a 1330? How long are the belts supposed to last?

    RELIABILITY

    I am new to this forum. I would be interested in an F3S if a dealer opened in Portugal, the country I live in. I am a Brit. I have noted that Slovenia, Slovakia and other relatively minor countries economically :D have dealers established, so hopefully it won't be long. I have been a...

    Wow! Now have SMOOTH shifting!

    Nice long service intervals. 9,300 miles is an odd amount. Around 14,900 km, so we'll say 15,000 km. I wonder if anyone will be changing their own oil halfway between service schedules, although that's probably not necessary with modern synthetic oils.

    Wow! Now have SMOOTH shifting!

    Did I understand this right? The first service is at 3,000 miles? After the first service, how long are the service intervals? And on the subject of oil, do these motors use any oil between services? This is my first post. I ride a Suzuki B-King, but the F3 could possibly tempt me on to three...
