• 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.

    Anyone near Roanoke or Lynchburg, VA who has BUDS willing to help?

    Hello, I'm a new owner of a 2015 F3-S, and I have a couple items I need to check out with BUDS. I'd also like to program a new key, as only one came with the bike. I'd rather not pay a dealer rate to do a simple check. Does anyone here have, or know of someone close to Roanoke or Lynchburg...

    Oil Pressure Warning light stays off before cranking, normal or not?

    Geez, how did I miss that. I was looking for OPS or OP. Duh... :dontknow:

    How do I clear a VSS fault without a reader/scanner?

    How do you read the codes without BUDS?

    Oil Pressure Warning light stays off before cranking, normal or not?

    I've searched that manual, and I cannot find a 2-wire oil pressure switch. I do see a 3-wire oil pressure sensor connected to the TCM, but I don't think my SM6 has a TCM. There's also a 2-wire oil TEMP sensor feeding the TCM as well. I double checked Canampartshouse.com, and their parts diagram...

    Oil Pressure Warning light stays off before cranking, normal or not?

    I didn't get any codes with the switch disconnected. I have a manual so I'll check the diagram. Usually, simple switch sensors like this have a pull-up to 5v or 12v, and are pulled to ground when the switch is closed. I'll be looking at it again later this afternoon. I'm making new shift...

    Oil Pressure Warning light stays off before cranking, normal or not?

    Well, I tested the oil pressure light function. With the key on, I get the initial bulb check, but no oil pressure light with the connector open or shorted. Started the engine, and still no oil pressure light with the connector open or shorted. Seems like something is wrong in that circuit, I...

    Oil Pressure Warning light stays off before cranking, normal or not?

    Thanks Bert. I'll be checking my OP switch tomorrow and jumping the wires to test the light function. My left hand controls my clutch engagement. :ohyea:

    Never Say a Spyder Can't Flip

    Wow! No idea what caused that, but prayers to those involved. :pray:

    Oil Pressure Warning light stays off before cranking, normal or not?

    I've noticed on my new-to-me 2015 F3-S, that when I initially turn on the key, the gauges sweep and all warning lights illuminate for a second or so. Before cranking the engine, I'd expect the oil pressure light to be on until oil pressure comes up. However, my O/P light stays off even before...

    Anyone else notice the excessive amount of throttle twist/rotation required??

    Can that be recalibrated with BUDS? I'm considering buying the interface and software. Hopefully it allows tuning all engine parameters. ��

    Can BUDS be used for tuning, or is it simply a diagnostic tool?

    Can BUDS be used for tuning, or is it simply a diagnostic tool? I'm considering purchasing, but I really don't like the subscription charges. Is there any way to get around that, or even to share a subscription with others? Also, is there anyone in the Roanoke/Lynchburg, VA area who has BUDS...

    New keys, maintenance, and upgrade items, etc. Any tips/advice?

    I recently purchased a 2015 F3-S. It came with only one key. Is there a good source for keys other than the dealer, and also is there a procedure for programming it ourselves? Also, I'm not a fan of dealer oils, but do want to stick with name brand filters. Anyone have a good source for...

    Any reputable places to download OEM Service Manual?

    Thanks for the info. I just downloaded the manual. It's very clear and easy to navigate.

    Anyone here added an oil pressure gauge? What gauge, & where?

    I want to add an oil pressure gauge to my 2015 F3-S. Anyone here done this? What gauge did you choose, and where did you mount it? Pictures would be great as well. :) I'd prefer an electric gauge to prevent the chance of leaks. I've used a lot of Auto-Meter gauges on my race cars, and I would...

    Is there a list of F3 changes through the years?? What were they?

    I just bought a 2015 F3S. The white front lights on the fenders light, but the yellow strips along the top don't. Are those just reflectors, or should they illuminate as well? Thanks, David

    Will using the Position #3 brake rod in Position #4 lower the brake pedal?

    New owner of a 2015 F3S. Mine has foot boards installed, but the location is fully forward, a bit of a stretch for me. LOL I'm thinking of just making some adjustable links with aluminum linkage rods and stainless clevis ends. Would 5/16" or 8mm threaded ends be sufficiently strong for this...

    This is my F3T USB port solution to allow accessory charging.

    I'm going to see if I can install one of these, along with a regular 12v outlet for a radar detector. Hopefully I can find a way around the obstruction you mentioned.
