• 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.

    The Can Am doesn't have anywhere close to the amount of pucker up moments that a Slingshot has in dry or wet conditions, if you can launch your Slingshot hard without smoking the rear tire you will have no problem on the Spyder.

    Front end vibration

    Yes, I will be having a talk with the dealer on Monday!!! Here is what I discovered; the clearance between the lugnut and the wheel is very tight and didn't allow for my impact socket to fully drive the lugnuts home if the lugnut is fully seated in the socket, in any event we all know that the...

    Vibration in the handlebars normal?

    My F3 Limited bars started flopping like a fish out of water at about 54 mph on Monday, and I can ride out of it at about 70 mph. Strange how the vibration just started after a roadside break, 2,000 miles on the machine.............taking the wheels to get balanced Friday.

    2019 F3 illegal in the US?

    Fact of the matter is that BuRP cheaped out on the 2019's in regards to the turn signal positioning, and that is what I would be pissed about if I was a 2019 owner....but then again BuRP did drop the price on the 2019's compared to the 2018's, and with that 2019 owners have something to cheer...

    Spyder F3 Limited vs Deer

    Did the animal go up and over, or did it get punted? In any event it's great that you came away unscathed besides the soreness in your back and legs.

    full power shifting

    His last bike was a 99 Busa, one of the stupid fast bikes of all time, in light of that can the speed of a F3 Spyder ever be considered excessive? :cheers:

    F3 Bajaron Swaybar Install

    You need to get the chin of the machine about 24" or 61cm above the deck, that allows the bar to swing down and the 90* bend to clear.
