• 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.

    Just wanted to share: I have been trying to resolve this issue with different handlebar positions and finally tried https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/rox-2-pivot-risers-for-1-18-handlebars rather than BRP’s short reach bars. Long and short of it - it worked. The install was very straight...

    Four Hours at a Shell Station Today

    My better half and I packed a lunch and were on our way to one of our favorite picnics spots today. Stopped at 50 mile mark for fuel and we were ready to head out and her 2015 RTL was completely dead, not even a click or a light. I had a battery jump box on my bike that allowed the starter to...

    FOBO Tire Pressure Monitors

    Has anyone tried to add extensions to their tire valves because of the shamrock wheels? Otherwise, I'll need to wait for the next tyre change to add them.

    Have hit the "center of tire" wear bars at under 6,000 miles and my local dealer offers only these 2 choices. I've not seen any feed back on the Arachnid and any updates will be appreciated. They won't Install a tire not purchased there. Of course only the middle of the tire is wearing out...

    The elusive consumer accessory circuit

    I know it's there somewhere and I still can't find the elusive, labeled "CAC" under the left access panel of my 2016 F3L. I recall someone on the forum said it was more under the gas tank cover. Any suggestions would be welcome. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Way too cold!!

    I was fortunate to be able to ride in 80 degree weather yesterday in my summer mesh jacket. This morning, however, our temperature is 23 with wind to 35 mph. In Texas we say if you don't like the weather one day it will be different tomorrow. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Silicone spray tips

    F3 L : Just thought I'd share, I've had to silicone spray the gas cap to be able to lock after fueling. I've also sprayed the catches for the saddle bags to make them work smoothly.

    Hello y'all. I have the common belt vibes within the 62 to 68 mph range. I bought sockets, wrenches, Krikit II, etc. gauge to reduce belt tension which reads about 210# off the ground. That is the highest tension of the recommended range. I decided to let the dealer check it because of such...
