• 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.

    How difficult is it to flush the brake fluid on a 2015 F3S Spyder?

    I got a great PM from one of our regulars who suggested that with ALL Spyders that flushing should start at the left front, then right front and then rear while not letting any air into the system. Seems pretty darn reasonable to me :thumbup:

    How difficult is it to flush the brake fluid on a 2015 F3S Spyder?

    I am wondering with the ABS if flushing the 3 year-old fluid on my 2015 F3S is doable at the house without special tools/equipment? Thanks for the help and heads up.

    New 2017 F3T Battery not holding a charge

    Just Changed Battery I just changed the battery on my 3.5 year-old F3S. I bought the battery from Lamonster Garage (MotoBatt for $146 shipped) that includes some specially machined brass battery posts by Lamonster. The R&R of the battery is very simple. Just remove the top plastic plate over...

    F3 Front Sprocket Inspection

    2015 F3S Pulley is Fine with 10K Miles Well, this has been a very interesting thread and I decided to go out this morning and pull the front pulley cover on my 2015 F3S SM6 to see if I had the dreaded "rust". What I found on my 10,000 mile trike was a very clean non-rusty front drive pulley...

    Recommend Floorboards for a 2016 F3-T?

    Like others, aging hips can present problems for pegs instead of floorboards. 7 weeks ago, I had a left total hip replacement with the surgeon using an Anterior Approach (front of the leg with only a 4.5" incision for a minimally invasive procedure) which allowed me to mount my F3S Spyder with...

    F3-S Windshield

    +1 on the F4 Windshield The F4 windshield is the best thought out windshield I have ever used. It coupled with a pair of Baker Air Wings makes for an almost perfect and changeable ride on my 2015 F3S.

    How fast can it go?

    You have cleared up something that has been bugging me since the day I picked up my F3S and that is the speedo that has 200 on it. I hadn't even thought about the fact that one can toggle from MPH to KPH and that you need that scale if you are travelling at a high rate in KPH. Thanks for the...

    Adding oil...

    Changing/Adding Oil is Tricky With These 1330's This past month, it was time to do my annual oil change on my 2015 F3S Spyder. When I had bought the trike, the selling dealer had done the oil and tire change because the trike had 6k miles on it. I had looked at Lamonster's video several times...

    New leftover SE6 slipping - i only made it 34 miles

    Tire Pressures Slowpoke387, My 2015 F3S Spyder manual calls for 15psi on the stock tires with min=13psi and max=17psi on the front tires. I would suspect that if you have returned to the stock wheels/tires that you are over-inflating the fronts at 20psi which can cause increased twitchiness...

    Did My Own F3S Oil Change

    Well, After having watched Lamonster's video and the other threads on this site related to Rotax 1330 oil changes, I was due for my annual oil change within the next couple of weeks and decided to do it this morning before the rains came to North Florida. It is kind of interesting how...

    Performance mods or scrap F3-S?

    Firefly, The only concern I have about your post is item #2 where you suggest that an F3 can run 140mph. You must have a special one because I think mine runs out of steam significantly South of 120mph.

    RT Sway Bar?

    Road-Kill, As Ron pointed out, these Spyders do in fact lean into turns. I also have a 2017 Tri-Glide and it leans as well but not as elegantly because of its crude suspension in comparison to my F3S Spyder. When someone is not experiencing lean, it might suggest that what you consider to be...

    RT Sway Bar?

    " I dont have a problem with my ryde which makes adding a new sway bar even more difficult." Road-Kill Road-Kill, the issues of body roll are an individual thing and those that ride more aggressively will notice the biggest difference. However, even though you are not experiencing any...

    RT Sway Bar?

    Road-Kill, It seems that all of the unpaid/unsolicited testimonials for sway bars have swayed you. I noticed that BajaRon offers a 30-day money back guarantee. If it were me, I would buy his swaybar and metal heim links and test them out hard for about 20-25 days and make up your own mind as to...

    RT Sway Bar?

    Will Defend to the Death Your Right to Your Opinion Road-Kill, Glad you are signing off on this thread. I don't see anybody "crying" nor do I see boogie men behind every bush trying to sell products. You certainly have the right to choose whatever farkels float your boat. However, impugning the...

    RT Sway Bar?

    Sway Bars I added a RonBar antisway bar to my 2015 F3S and it made a significant difference in body roll in the twisties and general riding situations. It turns out that I used a friend's micrometer to measure the thickness of a stock RT bar with the RonBar and they are the same diameter but I...

    Performance mods or scrap F3-S?

    My 2015 F3S is sort of like my "sport trike" because of the light power assisted steering and suspension mods. I have a Harley Tri Glide Ultra as my "Barco Lounger" trike. It took a ton of mods for me to get comfortable with the Spyder. My 250 mile ride home was frankly painful with no backrest...

    Grips For 2015 F3s

    Checking the oil level

    Your approach sounds good in theory but it is my limited understanding that at shutdown, the various oil reservoirs hold different amounts of oil each time you do an engine shutdown and your readings could be misleading?

    Some Late Night F3 Farkle Grenade Lobbing...

    UCLA F3S, Now that you have some new beautiful farkles on that trike, give it a good wash and wax. It deserves nothing less and everybody knows that a clean and freshly waxed trike runs faster:ohyea:
