• 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.

    Are Straight wound springs going to be better than Progressive rate springs?

    Looking for some suspension advice... 2014 RT-S I recently replaced my front shocks with some locally sourced items (Australia). I had a choice of normal-medium-heavy springs and chose medium, but having fitted them, I am starting to question the type of springs used (progressive rate). A mate...

    2014 front pulley replacement - does it need the flywheel?

    I bought a 2014 RT-S with 65000kms (40,000 mls?) on it. When I checked the belt tension (Krikit 2) it was around 300lbs on the ground. When I reset tension to 140lbs, the belt was no longer true on the rear sprocket (it was trying to come off the sprocket; well, half anyway.) This tells me that...

    Hi all, just wondering what causes the F3 to rev so high on starting? My RT is smooth, with minimal rpm increase... it can't be good for the engine, revving up with no oil pressure..... Is there any way to settle it down? Or is it a function of the ECU? TIA... Russ

    V twin taking ages to fire up - any thoughts on this?

    Back in the day I had a 2013 RT, and on 2 occasions (both after trailering bike) the bike wouldn't start. It would crank over fine but not start. After around 10 secs of cranking it timed out and this took around 3 "cycles" before the bike finally, reluctantly, spluttered into life. i never...

    What would cause a torn clutch drum? RSS V-Twin SE5

    A friend rang me... said she lost drive while ryding uphill at 70kph when it went bang then no drive. Thinking it's the pulley (the bike is 2015 RSS with 105,000 kms) I flatbed it home and start looking.... The engine runs, I selected first (with a click not a clunk) but can still spin the...

    What's the correct oil capacity for a 1330 motor?

    I recently did an oil change on my 2016 F3 Ltd I checked the handbook and the workshop manual, and it spec'd 4.7 litres with filter, so that's what it got. I don't try to check with the dipstick as I find dry sump engines a little fluky to check. Anyway, a punter comes over for an oil change...
