• 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.

    2020 RT Power

    The main problem is that the ECU starts closing down the throttle at a round 85 mph. I can change out the sprockets and belt but I would have to get the ECU reprogramed to keep the throttle open. If I keep the 2017 I will have ECU reworked for the extra power. Probably stay with a stage one...

    2020 RT Power

    If you follow the F3 log you will see that I have been having all sorts of fun getting my Limp Home problem fixed. This leads to my question on how a 2020 RT runs. I had a 2015 F3 that absolutely had all the power and top speed I could have wanted and I should have kept it. But a 2017 F3L...

    Limp home mode 2017 F3L - Update: Fixed (I hope!)

    So on Tuesday I went and picked up my 2017 F3L. Took it out for a road test and everything went very well. Loaded it up on my trailer, went and paid my bill.

    Brake Pads

    Is there any recommendations for brake pads on my 2017 F3L? Is draining the brake fluid something I can accomplish at home or does a spyder shop have to hook up electronics to get everything walking and talking? Dray

    OK, so here I set as the owner of a 2017 F3L with 20,000 + miles and it now rest in a spyder shop a little bit broke. Couple of weeks ago I got a message saying for me to limp home which I did.

    F3L Power

    Thank you sir. Much appreciated. As I understand Wick-it does the Monster update and if I remember it is $350.00 if you send it in and $400.00 if you drive in and they have to dismount and remount. Is there anyone doing a plug and play unit? Thanks again. Dray

    F3L Power

    Need some opinions! I have a 2017 F3L that I am considering having Wick-it load on some new software. What is the upside/downside of doing this. I do plan on staying with the stock rpm limit. Are there companies that do a plug and play upload that works? Thanks in advance for any and all...

    Recheck your shipping box. There should be a pad you need that fits in place between seat and top case. Dray

    Front tires

    I have a 2017 F3L that I just replaced the rear tire with a car tire and I am very happy as to how it rides. This brings up the question as to what car tire would fit the front and clear everything. Recommendations greatly appreciated. Dray

    Trip and s/w updates

    A riding pal and I just finished a 1001 mile trip from home up into Arkansas, Oklahoma and back into the Fort Worth area. It was a good ride on the back roads and about 3 weeks to early for the leaves to be falling. Beautiful country and lot of nice creeks. One thing that came out of this is I...

    Backrest extender on 2017 F3L I mounted mine a couple of weeks ago and it is a straight forward job. Well worth the money for passenger or extra bag. Dray:yes::yes::yes::yes:

    Difference in Mufflers

    Actually between my 2015 F3S and my now 2017 F3L i spent several months playing around with different mufflers before I said the heck with it and installed Spydermans stainless cat back system. I did like the sound of it but I am old and slowly loosing my hearing. Spyderman went out of his way...
