• 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.

    Maintenance schedule

    I had that same question after reading the owners manual. However, the BRP accessory manual reads a little differently. It says "at 9300 miles" which is when my dealer did the second oil change. I bought their "Pit Pass Program" which takes care of all of my maintenance for the first three years.

    Ride On Vibration Issue - Need Advice

    Had the same issue after Ride on install and my dealer replaced both fronts under warranty as one was out of round. Kenda reputation continues :banghead:. Apparently, adding ride on makes the vibes worse when tires are bad.

    Smooth Spyder Belt Tensioner F3-Ltd.

    I installed the Smooth Spyder on my F3 L with good results. I too set it to 10lbs and still had vibration; went up to 13 then settled in at 11 lbs for best results. Still had some vibes at 67 mph. The best fix I can report is right now at 10 lbs. and three new non Kenda Tyres:mad:. No vibes...

    Smoothspyder vs Roadster Renovations Belt Tensioners

    I want to chime in with my Smooth Spyder experience on my 2016 F3 LTD. I ordered and installed a SmoothSpyder when my bike was new. The vibrations were awful. I worked with Jim to test these for the new model. I can report that about 80% vibrations were eliminated, except for some in the 65...

    Advice on cleaning

    S100 has a spray on-rinse off with water hose product that makes the process easier. The bike needs to be cool before using. It has been very popular with motorcycle's for decades. Very easy to use and bugs come right off. It does a good job with wheels and undercarriage as well.

    Shock experience

    Has anyone had any experience with the new Fox Adjustable Fronts p/n219400733. Price point 849 is a bit steep. How do they stack up to Elka?

    Air Vest

    My experience I own a Hit Air mesh jacket that is several years old and wore it every time I rode my Goldwing. Fortunately, it was never needed. The jacket is high quality and has held up well for about 5 years. However, it has turned a dingy gray after many miles and I didn't want to...
