• 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.

    Your preference of floor jacks and stands for your F3

    I don't know about how your floor jacks will work for lifting just one front wheel. From the front, I slip my narrow one in between the front wheel to be lifted and the body. Those two lifts will prevent that and will have very limited use. Pass!

    Throttle delay - can it be fixed by BUDS? Or Pedal Commander?

    Slingmods (the only source for Spyders) is in the LA area and ships free. I sure do love mine. Turned my bike into an animal. And I can make it go from kitten to tiger with with a push of a buttom, while on the move.

    Question for the seasoned one-up road warriors. Sway Bars

    I don't confuse investment with spending, but adding a swaybar, IMO, was definately an investment in control, handling, comfort and increased yee haw. If you are still on Kenda tires, ditch them and get real car tires - another real investment that's even more effectiver.

    I can not get my front trunk open! Help?

    This won't help you now, but it will later.... I NEVER USE THE KEY! There have been too many posts here like yours to warn me off that frail system. I attached a wire pull to both the seat and frunk latches. I also added a #10 spring to the pin in the frunk link to help it pop up.

    Question on engine oil “overfilled”

    There is a specific procedure for checking oil level. With the oil hot - one hour ride hot - park on a level spot, let engine idle 5 minutes, shut off and check the level within a couple minutes. Spyders are unique in many ways. Manuals and YouTube are your friends.

    Short reach handlebar - how hard is it to swap bars?

    Gotta look fast, but it's all there....... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVwK33td2Pc Start at 1:15...... https://www.lamonstergarage.com/f3-top-cap-install/ Once you have that cuff off, the grip assemblies simply slide off. The cuffs lock them onto the bars. Too easy.
