• 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.

    Questioning wearing Ear Plugs while riding

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082D8VGMQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 I use these sleeping ones because being half the driver size they go farther in my ear and block most of the wind and engine and I hear my music just at medium -loud. I'm watching my rear more than my...

    I’m getting frustrated with the belt vibration - any ideas to help?

    I remember when this sprocket stuff started 3-4 years ago there was a bulletin to lower my 2015 F3 and others(?) to about the 140-160 range. It was thought excess tension helped cause sprocket problems. When mine came back from sprocket job it was at spec -he said -180 on the ground. I got...

    Which Deceleration module/brake light flasher do you recommend?

    I had the brake free but sold it? Worked OK but I got tired of the turning on and the whole procedure. I use the 3 blink brake light on the Ryker.

    Belt tension 190 on ground = how much wheel off ground?

    My thinking was if you don,t give it any throttle the computer thinks its standing still? Couple years ago I adjusted it and gave it a little throttle and it threw the code-which cleared. Mine has the clutch.

    Belt tension 190 on ground = how much wheel off ground?

    Just wanted to add a couple things. Yesterday I lowered my tension again to about 125 in the air after running bike to adjust. This equaled 140-145 on the ground. Roughly 20 pound difference with bike only 2 inches lifted. If you just start and NOT touch the throttle when adjusting the bike it...

    I have the Blue Ridge which provides excellent wide coverage and top it off with the MRA touring screen on top set at about 80 degrees.

    Speed Bleeding 2015 F3- How to do without buds!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mttu3si0u4 Thanks- I get it now. This guy does a pretty good job. So I could take the Left off bleed-then put it back on and take right off and bleed - then put it back on and do the rear bleed all in the same time period. Since the master cylinder is right above...

    Speed Bleeding 2015 F3- How to do without buds!

    Maybe its so simple I can,t see. So the speed bleeder screws in permanently and there is another nut on the top you loosen 1/4 to 1/2 turn before you pump the brakes 4-5 times-then you tighten the top portion- add fluid to the master cylinder and go on to the next wheel? When you take the stock...

    2015 F3 S - Anything sinister I should know about?

    It should have had a brace under the seat recall an if its Manual transmission you need to be Popeye or have your dealer install the vacuum assist on the clutch which was a kit they could buy. I have 23,000 mile and runs great!
