• 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.

    2023 rumors - anyone heard anything about the 2023 release?

    What’s your average MPG using what Octane Fuel?

    I finally got around to checking mileage yesterday. On a 160 mile ride, 2-up using 93 octane, we used 4.54 gallons. So that comes out to 35.24 mpg. This was combined roads. Some 65mph interstate, but mostly 2-lane back roads and going through a number of little towns with far too many stoplights.

    Considering a tall windshield. Any suggestions?

    Considering a higher windshield. So I added this little $20 extender thing to see if it reduced the "head buffeting". The answer is yes it does. So now perhaps I should consider a new taller windshield replacement. It would need to be about at 28" (current one is 25"). I don't seem to find 28"...

    Anyone Replaced the standard F3 L seat? Tried Diamond seats?

    Installed new Diamond Custom Seat I just installed my new seats from Diamond and took a several hour ride today. This feels much better with the stiffer foam adjusted for my weight. I liked the style with the diamond pattern strip just down the center of the seats. These come with a new...

    Outside Air Temperature Sensor reads high - Why? Any fixes?

    Yikes, I had now idea I could instigate such a long discussion when asking about the in-dash air temperature sensor!! As Mikey said .... RIDE ON !

    Outside Air Temperature Sensor reads high - Why? Any fixes?

    Sound like a likely scenario. I liked the temperature display on my Goldwing which seemed to be fairly accurate. Oh well ... now I know.

    Outside Air Temperature Sensor reads high - Why? Any fixes?

    Thanks for the info. My MPH is quite close to both GPS speed and the "Your speed is" radar indicators on the side of the road. Usually of by only 1 mph. Not sure why BRP thinks I want to know the temperature detected under the "Tupperware on top of the engine". But ... OK ... now I know what it...

    Outside Air Temperature Sensor reads high - Why? Any fixes?

    I've noticed that the in-dash air temperature sensor seems to be consistently 2-5 degrees above the ambient air temperature. I was wondering if there is a way to calibrate this sensor and if other persons have noticed this difference? It could be different for each bike. Having messed with...

    Anyone Replaced the standard F3 L seat? Tried Diamond seats?

    I just ordered the custom seat from Diamond Custom Seats. They provide a new fiberglass seat base instead of the factory plastic one. They say it's a better base, plus I don't have to send in my seat. They use weight, height, inseam for both rider and passenger to select foam rigidity and...

    Anyone Replaced the standard F3 L seat? Tried Diamond seats?

    Those both look like good sources for enhancing seat comfort. The kicker is having to send in your seat. But to get a good comfortable ride it may be worth it.

    Any suggestions on Travel Cover for F3 Ltd with top case & saddlebags?

    I have located a few on-line. However, one sounded too inexpensive ($40-$50) that I was skeptical and haven't purchased. But my assumption is that a very light cover, e.g. made of parachute cloth type of material, may be fine to cover in a parking lot for the night. The feedback on the lighter...

    Added handlebar riser to my F3L. Changed handling - a surprise?

    I think you will like it. The installation was easy also.

    Added handlebar riser to my F3L. Changed handling - a surprise?

    As on a previous 2-wheeler, I wanted to raise the handlebars a bit for my height. The install is easy. A pleasant surprised for me was that this more comfortable riding position seemed to make the F3 handle better. Apparently reaching further for the handlebars, made me lock my elbows and...

    Anyone Replaced the standard F3 L seat? Tried Diamond seats?

    I found the original F3 L seat to be quite uncomfortable for me for even a 1-hr ride. At 6'4" and 230 lbs it doesn't support my size adequately. I was looking at a few possible replacement options: - the BRP replacement "Cannonball Comfort Seat" #219400497 - mixed reviews and currently...

    F3 handlebar riser install - is there enough OE cable?

    Is there enough cable standard on the F3 (2021) to install the handlebar riser without a problem with cable/control lengths?

    BRP GO - Bluetooth not working fx? Lemon Law or Class Action Lawsuits?

    Yes Can-Am bluetooth works from my iPhone fine for playing music. I have used it for both playing via my 2021 F3 speakers and BT headset. This works fine and I can stop, or advance to next song etc using the controls on the bike. The issue I had was when I was using Rever GPS. As soon as my...

    How do you Glasses wearers manage with Helmet & Glasses?

    I have a modular helmet, HJC in my case, but it fit's so tight against my cheeks that I have to put glasses on first, then helmet. The helmet fits fine and HJC has always fit the best. But the HJC just has a tight face fit making it difficult to put the helmet on prior to glasses.

    Power / USB switched vs unswitched?

    Looks like a good setup. The mirror locations on the F3 seem less than ideal to me. Ideally I would like to have them further out. But the way the are is adequate and if I block a bit of the inside portion of the mirror, nothing is lost except that I can't see my elbow as clearly. :shocked: I...

    Power / USB switched vs unswitched?

    I see your point about finding a good mounting location for the accessories. Since I'm 6'3" I can see over some of the mounting locations. Yet positioning a drink holder, GPS and USB/Lighter sockets, I had to choose carefully. Currently the GPS blocks the right turn signal indicator unless I set...

    Power / USB switched vs unswitched?

    My GPS on my 2021 F3L plugged into the glove box connector was a problem. Using that connector the F3 tries to connect like it was a phone and caused errors on the GPS. My GPS then failed, and I don't know whether this Spyder connection played a role. But I was suspect. So I wanted a separate...
