• 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.

    Why get a motorcycle?

    The best reason for getting a bike that I've ever heard goes like this: - Have you ever seen a motorcycle parked by the shrink's office? ...and that pretty much summarizes it for me. What was your reason?

    Engine heat?

    F3's fans blow forward when stopped or moving under 6Mph - this helps a lot with heat management. I just rode from work for an hour and a half in 90+ degrees and traffic, in full face helmet and jacket, didn't notice any heat from the engine.

    Cat delete - my thoughts

    If you take a look at Martin's videos - he compares different set-ups, like cat-delete pipe with Akropovic and stock muffler. Stock muffler sounds much better with the cat-delete pipe. The combination of Akropovic and cat-delete is way too loud, to the point of hurting your ears. You might want...

    Cat delete - my thoughts

    Motorcycles in my state don't need emission inspection, plus I only installed the pipe after the warranty expired, since I had the same concerns, but a lot of members here had no issues with warranty even with removed catalytic-converter.

    Cat delete - my thoughts

    I expected the smell - you remove catalytic-converter, you will get the smell. There are no visible fumes though!

    Cat delete - my thoughts

    No, I didn't re-map the ECU - that is something I don't want to mess with. I like Nanny. It keeps me safe. Keeps my kids fed and my wife happy. Developing software for a living I don't recommend anyone messing with an OEM firmware :) but then again, it's just me. I did, however, replace a stock...

    Yes, with the baffle in.

    CAT removal legality?

    Based on the user manual - yes! However, several forum members have said they've never had problems with warranty claims even with the CAT bypass.

    CAT removal legality?

    I had the same question before I installed a CAT bypass. I was told by my dealer that PA doesn't require emissions sticker for motorcycles, so CAT delete is legal in PA. I saved the CAT just in case anyway - I can always install it back if required.

    Genius map communication problem..

    Why not use Google maps? it's free and is always up-to-date. You can also download maps off-line and use them even if you don't have a cell connection

    Thanks

    Hmm, forgive my ignorance, but why would you disable it? I'm serious, isn't it designed to keep rubber side down?

    What are you paying for insurance? Who are you insured with?

    like many have said insurance premiums vary by state/location/area/age/driving records. Here's my 2 cents (based on having a family member in the insurance industry) 1. Never ever EVER (!!!) sign up for one of those devices you plug into your OBDII port that reports your activity to the...

    Where to find a Switched/fused source for GPS?

    There's a label attached to the wires saying "Customer Accessory Circuit"

    Eco mode - who uses it? And when?

    I used it for a few days after purchasing F3-S. Besides the indicator when to shift it also remaps the throttle response so it becomes "softer". I never used Eco mode again until I installed a cat delete pipe and replaced the air filter with K&N. Now I use Eco mode all the time because of the...

    Looking at a 2015 F3-S SE6 -- what should I ask the seller?

    There's only one front sprocket on F3 :) There's no CVT on F3

    Looking at a 2015 F3-S SE6 -- what should I ask the seller?

    there was a recall for a mounting bracket or a weld under the seat - I don't remember exactly what it was. Make sure the recall work is done on the byke.

    2015 F3 what are wires for?

    No, those wires are for switches. There are three "customer accessory circuits" with separate fuses meant for anything you want, including the usb charging. One is located under the tub in the frunk, another one is under the rear seat, and the third one is on the side, under the left service...

    Cat delete - my thoughts

    I just installed a cat delete pipe from Baldwin Iron Works on my F3-S - it came with a spring removal/installation tool and a baffle. I was reluctant to get this seemingly useless farkle, I've read all the research I could get my hands on about the exhaust back pressure, and everything that goes...
