• 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.

    Oil change - which way to undo the drain plugs?

    How about which direction to safetywire/lockwire fasteners so they don't loosen. That will fry brain matter in some.

    Oil change - which way to undo the drain plugs?

    In an earlier life I was a Pipefitter for 20 years building submarines. Sometimes I was basically hanging upside down or using mirrors to get to mechanical connections if I could see them at all. For some people it comes natural, others it comes in time, some will never get it. Today young...

    Handlebar to wheel alignment question

    JayBros, thanks for your comment. The bike rides smooth, no issues other than the handlebars being a little crooked. Just a little. I just read the alignment procedure in the service manual which states that the alignment begins with placing the handlebars straight, measuring to ensure they're...

    Handlebar to wheel alignment question

    I have a new 2021 F3-S. The alignment between the riser/handlebars and the tracking of the front wheels are not quite aligned. The handlebars are off about 8-10 degrees It's not a show stopper and when driving I don't even notice it because the handlebars are effectively always in motion. I...

    Trying Rustoleum Peel Color Shift Paint

    I take it that Rustoleum Pell is their version of Plasti Dip. I was just considering covering the BRP emblems myself.

    Tire Size Comparison Calculator

    Tire Comparison Calculator There are a number of calculators out there. This one allows for comparison say from your OEM size to whatever size you'd consider changing to. If you're looking for a "car" tire and the aspect ratios available don't match the OEM you can determine what the new...

    New video from BRP on the 2021 F3 models

    F3-S Special and Limited. Nothing on the F3 or F3-S. My take away is a new color and a few accessories but no design change. I do have a new 2021 F3-S and really liking it but wondered if it was really a 1/2 model year. I 'm guessing there aren't any changes to the models I mentioned.

    F3 Brake Pedal Height Adjustment-Higher?

    I agree it would slightly extend the arc but the degrees of rotation before engaging the brakes would remain the same if the rod hasn't changed length.

    F3 Brake Pedal Height Adjustment-Higher?

    I appreciate the thoughts and suggestions, i do. The brake lever pivots around the main bearing with the rod on the bottom and the pad at the top. The rod connection point and the pad travel in arcs around the bearing and that is what you are doing with the pad, not raising it per se but rather...

    What did you do to your Spyder today?

    Picked up an F3S 2 weeks ago. Added a Battery Tender connection and a Blue Ridge windshield. This pic is from the day I got it.

    When will the 2021 Spyders come out?

    Two weeks ago I purchased a 2021 F3S. I don't know how long it was sitting on the showroom floor for.

    F3 Brake Pedal Height Adjustment-Higher?

    Nothing to be sorry about, great ideas then walking through the steps is what it's all about. I'm sure I'll reach a solution, thanks

    F3 Brake Pedal Height Adjustment-Higher?

    You're correct, I just looked at it. The brake rod connects opposite the pedal so shortening the rod lowers the pedal even more.

    F3 Brake Pedal Height Adjustment-Higher?

    That seems plausible. Something I could try and replace if botched, thanks.

    F3 Brake Pedal Height Adjustment-Higher?

    New 2021 F3S. My boot doesn't fit under the brake pedal pad so I'm riding with my right foot further out than I would like, certainly not matching my left foot position. Is there an aftermarket product/assembly that raises the pedal without moving it out from the position it's in? I searched...

    Battery connections/Computer glitch.

    Trong, I have a boating background and would like to suggest you research Blue Sea Systems and their automatic charging relays. On boats typically there are two 12v batteries referred to as "battery banks", one being the starter battery and the other being the "house" battery that would power...
