• 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.

    F 3 muffler Question

    Not sure: A: If one is louder than the other or not (never compared them). and B: If one is louder than the other it's likely due to differences in internal baffling, and/or packing material etc.

    Double Bubble Oil and Trouble!

    Yea; I spotted that offer on Amazon after I posted. Pretty good deal really. If I don't go that route; I'm just gonna grab some 10W-40 locally. All three of the stores in my OP had that in stock. Thanks for all the replies and experiences!

    Double Bubble Oil and Trouble!

    Now that I've got my F3---I see Rotax and BRP had the ill sense to retain the goofy viscosity of 5W-40 (as opposed to the much more common 10W-40) motorcycle synthetic. I went to Advanced Auto, O'Reilly's, and The Auto Zone this AM.........no 5W-40, two of them won't order any as they have a...

    New Spyder In My Future?

    My TBR slip on came in on Thursfday (6/14)---the muffler is at the "coaters" for a satin black ceramic finish. I was surprised to fine out they air cure them; not bake them. Takes five days, so I should get it back by the middle of next week.

    Cleaning the flat black F3

    I use Maguiers Detailing Mist (use it on my car too) and a well broken in terry cloth towel---though I'm sure the_bandit's Armor All glass cleaner would work just as well.

    New F3 S in the Driveway!

    All is not lost. Sat outside today, mentally re-engineering [or perhaps butchering would be a better term :D] the shift and brake levers. A couple three judicious cuts on both, ditch the excess, weld up the remaining bits and both are relocated inboard (towards the Spyder; so they don't stick...

    F3 S R Shock Advice

    Not at all happy with the stock F3 S R shock. It's OK; barely--it's too soft for my 185lbs---bet it'll be really great [or not] for two up riding--given the NO spring pre-load! I've looked at the BRP/FOX (the $650 one, not the cheapo one) shock, and the Elka Stage 2 (I'd really like to run...

    Cool! :doorag: Will he come over here next week end, and fix these diabolically designed shifter and brake pedals for me? :joke:

    New F3 S in the Driveway!

    Yea, I've already got a position one (former sport biker) linkage kit; which addresses the "foot forward" stock peg/pedal location, but "will not" address the pedal placement in relation to the foot pegs (they're too darn high/far back, and will be worse in position one--I have to lift my foot...

    Rebates extended on 2018's

    Thanks for the kind and generous offer! When I posted on the 6th---my new Spyder had been sitting at the dealership for two days already [apparently they're not only fuzzy on the exact rebate amount, but on that new fangled tech---------------------the telephone :D!]. "Further Discussion"...

    The end of Chuck.

    Hope you heal faster than you think! You've been around the block a couple times---you know the drill. Follow the Doc's/therapists instructions, and take care of your self! As you recover you may well find your motivation to get back on your Spyder is higher than you think now! :thumbup: I...
