• 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.

    Cat delete, is it worth the money

I plan on staying with the factory muffler. My question is has anyone run the MFI Stage 2 with factory cat and muffler and how...

    After 2173km/1358m over the last 5 days the foot boards are very comfortable(no vibration on the higway, except when the front wheel touches the rumble strip on the center line) and the Gustafson 20" windshield was the right choice even in the rain. The rain worked its way up the windshield but...

    In my new 22F3S the battery is not Yuasa its made in China, its supposed to be a 300 CCA but only tests at 260 CCA after a charge with a smart charger. On any cold start I get a VSS flag.

    Will Using 87 Octane impact performance?

    I use 91 octane in my 2022 F3S which I purchased new several months ago. Up until last Spring I could purchase 91 without ethanol at Costco and other places locally, now it may contain ethanol according to the sticker on the pumps. There are several reasons I try and stay away from ethanol in...

    2017 F3 vs F3S down on power - computer? Will a flash fix this?

    If you can't get the HP back with a reflash at the dealer you might look into a reflash from Monster FI where you should be able to get more than 115 HP in stage 1?:)

    I received my windshield in a very well packaged box that contained the 20" light smoke windshield, 2 brackets (supports), 1 package of bolts for the brackets and 1 package for the brackets to windshield mount. The bracket bolts were silver so I sprayed the bolt heads and washers with black...

    Questioning wearing Ear Plugs while riding

    I used to wear custom made noise blockers in noisey areas from Costco that block most of the industrial noise but allow the conversational frequency to get in, they are inexpensive to have made and are molded to your ear and comfortable to wear. Costco in Canada has hearing centers in some...

    Exhaust Perfection?! another $20 exhaust system. No aftermarket muffler needed

    You may be able to reduce the rapp by cutting the tip itself to an angle that is less than 90 degrees (like many of the big trucks have on their straight stacks). If you cut a bit at a time you may come up with something that works for you.;)

    When and where was the first time you rode a Can-Am tryke ??

    AndysF3S I did my test ride in 2007 when they first came out and I hadn't ridden a highway two wheeler or 3 wheeler since. My 22 F3S had been sitting in the showroom for about a year when I walked by to buy some parts for a lawnmower and asked what it had for equipment and price? I have had a 2...

    My mirrors are okay at best I can see behind on either side no problem but no so well next to me on either side and without the windshield which is on order I don't like to turn my head to shoulder check at highway speeds. I don't change lanes without a bit more care and attention.

    Manta Green is a color that skidoo and seadoo have used occasionally and I have a Black Renegade that I highlighted with MG so now I have a pair in the garage.
