• 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.

    Wandering belt

    If this is happening going forward I would check the front pulley first to make sure it is still tight and not wobbling.

    Smoothspyder F3 belt tensioner

    Our tensioner for the 2015-2017 F3, F3S models and 2015-2017 F3T and 2016 F3 LTD. models both go on the top/tension side of the belt and use a proven, purpose built long life idler. The minor trimming of the plastic on the F3-F3S was needed to get the larger idler moved back far enough without...

    Smoothspyder F3 belt tensioner

    Sorry Dan, My apologies, but I can't find any emails around that time that I missed or that weren't answered. I'm still on here and still working on new things, but I mostly just watch from the sidelines and don't say a lot unless I have something pertinent to contribute.

    Closing fuel door/cap

    After 20,000 miles mine wouldn't close one day. After fiddling with it for a few minutes with no luck, I opened my right access panel and pulled out the dipstick and put a few drops of oil around the gasket mechanism. Has worked great ever since and never even had to get off the seat to fix it.

    Bluetooth on the cheap

    I've been happy listening to Pandora with my LG bluetooth headset. The earbuds are small and easily fit under my helmet and block out most of the road noise.

    Belt Tensioners

    Yes, on the top definitely works better. Space was the limiting factor with the tank on the RT and the crossbar on the F3. I kept moving my 2" idler back on the F3/F3S until it had clearance under full suspension compression with the weak shock. I considered making my own smaller idler wheel...

    Belt Tensioners

    For those that still have my tensioner on the bottom of the RT and are going to the BRP tensioner adapted to the top, I think I would leave the bottom on and maybe drop the tension down a bit. The belt is still flopping around on the bottom except under deceleration when it is stretched tight...

    Passenger back rest

    Shame on them! An identical Chinese knockoff. Sirius didn't even have the decency to change it up a bit. I get bombarded all the time from Chinese manufacturers wanting to make my parts cheap. I just can't go that route to build inferior parts to make more money, all my parts are made in the...

    F3 Limited vs RT Limited Belt

    The tensioner on the bottom of the belt did not have the same effect on my F3S as it did on the top, maybe a 60% improvement. I expected better results from the bottom tensioner and was surprised that it worked much better on the top even with less tension. There is vibration coming from top...
