• 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.

    another tire question

    Does anyone know if the Bridgestone Potenza 175/55R 15 will fit the 2017 F3-S without any serious mods. Shortening bolts & the like is ok. Finding performance tires to fit the F3-S in Australia is quite difficult as the range of 15'' tires is very limited. Thanks.

    runaway mirrors

    which ever option you choose, they will be far superior to the OEM mounts. Akin to comparing apples to cow poo.

    runaway mirrors

    No repairs or installation. Bike has yet to have its first service. [ 4300 klms.] I've had them off/on a couple of times with no problems. Usually check them before every 2nd/3rd ride. I think it was a combo of speed & angle of the stepups. Regardless, those mounts especially the top one are junk.

    runaway mirrors

    Last Thursday my wife [pillion] & myself were cruising along at the posted 100 kph speed limit. Always looking some distance up the road, I noticed a couple of staggered step ups in the bitumen. I could not slow down much as there were cars up my backside & I couldn't go around the stepups as...

    noise from my '17 F3 w/1700 miles

    belt whine Both my 2017 RT & F3-S purchased new earlier this year had the same straight cut gear whine [ quite loud ] at around 40 km/hr & again at 70 km/hr. No whine in the RT until about 400 klms from new. Took it to the dealer & the tech heard the whine & said if it gets worse bring it back...

    Have you had an ECU Flash? How long did it take? Any good?

    I have to agree with you on this mate. I also won't support the greedy local guy or any other business charging over the top, & the number of company's that do charge fairly is almost non existent. Almost all of Australian businesses are " ADDICTED TO THE MYTH OF PERPETUAL GROWTH AND ENDLESS...

    Tension/Alignment screws

    problem screws now ok With the wheel off the ground i screwed the right hand nut off the axle. Had to remove muffler to get a good view of the sliding block which the adjusting screws move. Tapped the axle in a little & it felt free. Tried to turn the screws but they refused to move. Next with...

    Tension/Alignment screws

    Yes Chupaca, I'm going to try a few of the other suggestions, but ''going back & forth safely'' hopefully will free them. If not, then it's the dealer's problem. Thank you.

    Tension/Alignment screws

    Thanks PW2013STL. I marked both screws prior to adjusting to see how much i would have turned them when finished. Yes, tried turning both screws c/clockwise, but would only turn about a 1/6 of a turn. Tried turning them clockwise but they only turned back to where they were before turning...

    Tension/Alignment screws

    Thanks jcthorne. I loosened the right hand side axle nut to finger tight prior to lifting the wheel off the ground before i attempted to adjust either screw. Not sure what you mean by '' you should never have loosened the axle nut with full belt tension on the axle either''. Could you please...

    Tension/Alignment screws

    Mikey, thanks for the reply. Yes the axle nut is very loose, but the screws refuse to turn any more than as stated.

    Tension/Alignment screws

    I want to lower the belt tension on my 2017 F3-S from 225lbs to around 180 lbs on the ground. Trouble is the right & left belt alignment/tension adjustment screws will only turn about 1/6 of a turn each. Don't want to force these screws for obvious reasons. Anyone had this problem & how did one...

    F 3 muffler Question

    Yes my 2017 F3-S muffler [oem] with cat is louder than my 2017 RT & the latter has the standard muffler with the cat delete pipe. My riding mates also agree. When I get time I'll pull the cat delete pipe off the RT & install on the F3-S, along with the oem muffler. I'll bet it's way too loud.
