• 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.

    F3-S R Shock Bolt Torque

    I hope to have my Stage 2 Elka R shock installed (finally) within the next couple of weeks. Anyone know what the correct torque spec (in ft/lbs) is for the upper and lower shock mounting bolts? TY!

    Sticker Shock!

    Tell you what; while the F3-S is a much better ride than my old RSS; the reduction in trunk space was three steps backwards. I'm getting real tired of dragging my helmet with me when I get off to do "whatever". Ssssoooooo I looked up hard bags at BRP----they were over $1400.00USD @ MSRP with...

    Cleaner Recommendations

    The new F 3 body work isn't too hard to keep clean; I use Meguiers Quick Detailing Mist to wipe it down. Keeping the wheels clean is a pain in the :cus:, due to all the nooks and crannies (especially the R wheel) and though I like my stock brake pads feel and stopping power they dust like a...

    Flanker's Chop Shop

    The first few mods were over priced (as is everything BRP) and easy to install. BRP Spoiler (it's the smallest of the three optional windshields and is more analogous to a string bikini ;) [not much there] than a windshield). BRP SS Grill (love the bright orange trim bar---which is on it's...

    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...

    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...

    New F3 S in the Driveway!

    Picked up my 2018 Oxford Blue F3 S yesterday. The sharper eyed amongst you witll notice that's NOT it in my sig ;). Initial impressions: Great: 6th gear (could never figure out why BRP saddled earlier 998 v twins with only 5) Bottom end and mid range power/torque Cruise...

    F3 s vs Fs T Exhaust

    If I get the F3 S SM6 I'm dealing on; I want to mod the exhaust. I'm leaning towards a Two Brothers Racing slip on. I like the one they make for the F3 T better than their F3 S system as the can is carbon fiber and BIGGER (and likely more quiet) than the F3 S stainless can. Anyone know if...

    Fs Option Experiences

    Sssssooooooo...............I picked up the sales quote for the '18 F3 S SE6 I'm thinking of buying today. I've got 5 options on it (small wind shield, bars, brake & shifter linkage kit, SS grille, & chopped R fender). I see the dealer charged me MSRP on all of 'em (they did give a decent...

    New Spyder In My Future?

    Refer to my post in "Off Topic" for back story. Rode my RSS to the dealer I purchased it from to pick up a tail light bulb (R tail light bulb filament burnt out). Walked out with a quote for a left over 2017 F3 S SM6, or new 2018 F3 S SM 6. :shocked: Seriously, Flanker??!! :rolleyes...

    Fall Hunting Season is Upon Us

    I do all my hunting in the meat department of the local supermarket. Never get cold, wet, or a broken shoulder. Great for squirrels and bunnies (the small furry kind; not the ones in the club)! ;)
