• 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.

    Alignment time - got a Surprise on the bill!

    I bought my 2024 F3S from Louisiana Power Sports in Bossier City LA. After 2700 miles, I noticed that the handlebar was between 3 & 5 deg. off when going straight. The left bar would be ahead of the right. Perhaps I was just unaware of the offset or, I had hit a pothole, and it shifted. (I don't...

    Looking for a male connector to fit this? Need to charge GPS!

    I currently have my ZUMO XT GPS connected direct to the battery. In this configuration, it will not charge the GPS. In looking for an answer, I opened one of the round plugs by the ignition switch. Lo and behold, there is a 4-contact plug in there. The left two outlets indicate 12 volts with the...

    Is it worthwhile getting an Oil analysis on the first oil change?

    Gots ma a question for y'all. I am going to do my first oil change on the new F3-S. Since there will most likely be excess metals as this is the first, will it be worthwhile to send an oil sample in for analysis?

    Any problems connecting GPS direct to battery?

    When hooking up a GPS, would there be any problems with a direct to battery hook up? All I can think of would be the need to ensure I turn it off when not using it to save battery life. Am I correct in my thinking?

    Look before you leap - sometimes, not everything is in the first box opened!!

    Sneakey, Sneakey! I ordered a full oil change kit and an Ultra sway-bar from Baja Ron. Delivery was at warp speed, and I was thrilled to take the boxes to the garage and open them to see my items. Much to my surprise, after opening the box of oil for the change, I was a bit disappointed to find...

    Looking for opinions on when to do the first oil change?

    My Owners Manual for the 2024 F3-S says the first oil change/inspection should come at 3000 miles. To me, that seems like a long time on a new engine prior to an oil change. I would think that there may be many mini pieces of metal in the oil from the new engine break-in that should be removed...

    Storage options - are there any Spyder Tank Bags?

    Looking at the options and getting confused. Do any Spyder Riders use a tank bag? There are a huge number available, but which one would be the best option? All I want is a place to put a wallet, phone and a couple of papers. Perhaps a paper map would find its way in there also.

    Hear, Hear! Do you wear ear plugs if your helmet doesn't cover your ears?

    Gots me a question for those who ride with helmets that DO NOT cover your ears. Do you just ignore the wind noise OR, do you use ear plugs or some other method to prevent the wind noise? Any and all suggestions welcomed. As an add on, my modular helmet does eliminate most of the noise BUTh...

    No way to miss - so which tire to hit it with?

    It's inevitable , you're going to hit it. The Alligator is there , there is no way to miss it . My thought is hit it with the back tire rather than one of the front tires . What do y'all think ?.

    Decision time - what does "S" (sport mode?) do to performance?

    At the end of next month, I will be ready to pull the plug on an F-3. The question is, just what does the "S" (sport mode?), do to performance? As I understand it, all it really does is relax the "nanny" to allow a more spirited ride. Is that correct? If that is all, I think I will go with...
