• 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 do I have a flashing brake light on the dash?

    I haven't ridden my 2020 F3-Limited all winter, and I'm hoping something I'm forgetting is causing this symptom. Turned on the key and pressed the mode button to clear the "Read the Manual" warning; I cranked the engine and pressed the parking brake release, fully expecting the red "brake on"...

    What's the Proper routing for BRP trailer harness on 2020 F3-Limited?

    Hey Folk: Gotta ask for help. The instructions I've managed to find for installing the BRP accessory trailer wiring harness on my 2020 F3-Limited don't seem to cover one critical area -- where should the final wire from the module be routed once it passes underneath the passenger seat toward...

    2020 RT "base" and Limited suspension differences?

    I rode a new demo model RT Limited at a local dealership this past week, and was decently impressed with the suspension on this model. It was night and day compared to the 2014 RT Limited I once owned. I've since wondered if there's any difference between the suspension of the standard "base"...

    Differences between '20 and '21 RT?

    Are there any differences or upgrades/improvements the 2021 RT models have compared to the 2020 RT versions? I'm shopping for a lightly used, pre-owned base model RT, and need to know if there are any deal breakers for me if I settle for the first year model.

    great last fall leaves outing

    The fall colors were in their last glow when we spent a few days camping at Ironhorse Motorcycle Lodge/Campground in Stecoah, NC these past few days. This location is immediately south of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, close to Lake Fontana, and in the middle of some truly wonderful...

    How long is a Spyder

    Ryders: I need an actual measurement front to back of the Spyder. Pretty much any model will get me in the ballpark, but... My current ride is a 2013 ST, with rear sport rack. Situation is that I'm building a shed here in Florida but the trike is back home in Georgia. Sure don't want to...

    Making the accessories fit together - Corbin interferes with BRP rear rack

    I found a great deal on a new BRP rear rack, which provided a platform on which to attach a Givi plate for holding a top box Then, I found a great deal on a used (two-piece) Corbin saddle. Unfortunately, I found interference between these two accessories. The back edge of the passenger saddle...

    layout of switches on dash

    I have a plain vanilla 2013 ST. Can someone with a farther-up-the-foodchain (e.g. ST-Limited) model tell me what the four functions are of the rectangular switches by the base of the handlebars? I know the one on the left-most position is for the Park Brake. The other three....? Am I right...

    mirror extenders for the ST?

    Does anyone make mirror extenders for the ST? Laamont's product for the F3 worked great. Now that I've got an ST, I'm back to looking at the underside of my elbows mostly.

    Shout out to Action Jet Sports, Bradenton, FL

    Yesterday the lady and I were just startng out from the Tampa area, headed for the Keys. Among other things, that route would take us west-east across the Everglades -- not exactly the sort of place where a flame out would be much fun. So, you can imagine my chagrin as we buzzed down I-75 at...

    documenting first oil change

    I've always wondered just how extensive "proof" is required if there's a warranty claim involving an owner-performed maintenance item, in this case an oil change. Does photographic evidence such as photos of the new filter and oil and an odo image capture suffice, along with receipts for the...

    Corbin saddle -- woo-hoo!

    This afternoon a color-matched (orange piping and stitching) Corbin dualseat arrived for my F3-S (thank you very much Tim Walter) I was a bit surprised to discover it's not the usual 5-minute swap-out with the stock seat(s). Corbin wanted the latch mechanism to be in the middle rather than off...

    High-mount mirror hits F4 ? Here's the solution

    Lamonster sells a nifty "top cap" which fits on the switchgear of the F3 handlebar. The device allows you to mount a single or pair of rear-view mirrors (as he says) on the handlebars like on a regular motorcycle. The top cap can also mount a RAM ball for attaching a cell phone or GPS or what...

    mileage numbers on rear tire?

    Anyone had their F3-S long enough to require a new rear tire. How many miles before it was toast, and please add your riding style. Grandma? Hooligan? (It probably makes a difference) Thanks, Pete
