• 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.

    Will my 2024 F3T need a belt vibration damper?

    My wife just traded her 2015 F3 for a 2024 F3T. We had a belt tensioner/vibration damper on the 2015 that did solve a vibration issue. Has BRP resolved this issue since 2015 or will we still need a vibration damper on the 2024? If you LOWER the belt tension to 160 lbs. (measured with tires on...

    Frunk cable off/broken at the ign switch! Any fix suggestions?

    :agree: with Peter ..... When I was a Vendor, I added quite a few EMERGENCY FRUNK RELEASES for customers. It solved what IMHO was a DUMB idea for opening that latch.
