• 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.

    The Auto Downshift is irritating for changes to 2nd & 1st - can anything be done to block those down-shifts?

    Thanks Baja Ron for that useful insight. I have probably given the impression that I run around at 2,000 rpm. I only do occasionally. It gets revved much higher when I'm out of town. Regarding the injectors: do you recommend additives to the fuel which claim to clean them?

    The Auto Downshift is irritating for changes to 2nd & 1st - can anything be done to block those down-shifts?

    I have ridden getting on for 300,000 miles on two-wheeled motorcycles without damaging an engine or gearbox. The F3-S can run at lower revs than 3,500 rpm, just like all my high capacity two-wheelers could.

    The Auto Downshift is irritating for changes to 2nd & 1st - can anything be done to block those down-shifts?

    The point I was making is that I don't like how the auto downshifts when it isn't necessary. The engine produces a lot of torque and could pull a high gear at low revs. I don't want to rev higher than I need to in urban areas.

    The Auto Downshift is irritating for changes to 2nd & 1st - can anything be done to block those down-shifts?

    This may have been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything. The auto downshift on my 2019, F3-S is irritating. It's okay down as far as 3rd gear, but changes down to 2nd and especially 1st when I don't want it to. Can anything be done about this in terms of blocking the last two...

    Spending some time not riding, should I disconnect my BS Lithium battery?

    I've read disonnecting only the earth lead can damage a lithium battery if it's left for long. My garage is the perfect temperature to leave a vehicle. How about leaving it in situ with both terminals disconnected? Thanks for all the replies, folks.

    Spending some time not riding, should I disconnect my BS Lithium battery?

    Should I disconnect my BS Lithium battery if I'm going to be away from my 2019 F3-S for nine months? Or is it okay to leave my BS smart charger connected to it? There is so much contradictory information on the net, especially AI generated.

    Yellow triangle symbol with down arrow to the right

    Very old thread, but my 2019 F3-S with a paltry 8,500 km on it - I spend 10 months a year 6,000 miles away from it now - has thrown this warning symbol up. Is there a definitive answer now, please, someone?

    1330cc Gearbox failure - intermediate shaft broken...

    I agree with all this. I had a similar problem with a BMW R1100GS, replaced the gearbox and did a further 40,000 miles [91,000 in total, sold it at 95,000 miles]. I'm glad I kept the bike so long.

    I have Shad panniers on my F3-S. They are great bags and look good in situ.

    Anyone had an F3-S Parking Brake fail?

    It doesn't need adjusting. I was asking whether parking with it on puts strain on the parking brake motor as a number have failed, or so I have read.
