• 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.

    An old thread, but I had the same problem as Trbayth. His comments above have clarified things. Down to the garage to do as he says.

    Spending some time not riding, should I disconnect my BS Lithium battery?

    I've read disonnecting only the earth lead can damage a lithium battery if it's left for long. My garage is the perfect temperature to leave a vehicle. How about leaving it in situ with both terminals disconnected? Thanks for all the replies, folks.

    Spending some time not riding, should I disconnect my BS Lithium battery?

    Should I disconnect my BS Lithium battery if I'm going to be away from my 2019 F3-S for nine months? Or is it okay to leave my BS smart charger connected to it? There is so much contradictory information on the net, especially AI generated.

    Yellow triangle symbol with down arrow to the right

    Very old thread, but my 2019 F3-S with a paltry 8,500 km on it - I spend 10 months a year 6,000 miles away from it now - has thrown this warning symbol up. Is there a definitive answer now, please, someone?

    1330cc Gearbox failure - intermediate shaft broken...

    I agree with all this. I had a similar problem with a BMW R1100GS, replaced the gearbox and did a further 40,000 miles [91,000 in total, sold it at 95,000 miles]. I'm glad I kept the bike so long.

    F3S needs Hard Side Bags - are BRP Shad bags the way to go?

    I have Shad panniers on my F3-S. They are great bags and look good in situ.

    Anyone had an F3-S Parking Brake fail?

    It doesn't need adjusting. I was asking whether parking with it on puts strain on the parking brake motor as a number have failed, or so I have read.

    Anyone had an F3-S Parking Brake fail?

    Has anyone on here had one of these fail? Particularly 2018 and 2019 models. Is it a good idea to leave the bike parked in your garage without the parking brake being engaged? This was suggested to me, and I can see how the cable is put under stress, but I don't see how the parking brake motor...

    Is the base F3 the sportiest model?

    Having done over 260,000 miles on two-wheelers, I have been surprised by how sporty my F3-S feels. It must be a match for an MT-07/SV650 etc.

    F3S needs Hard Side Bags - are BRP Shad bags the way to go?

    Your set-up is the same as mine. I got a deal when buying my 2019 F3-S new from Angel Pilot in Portimao, Portugal. Two BRP backrests and the Shad bags sorced from Shad, not Can-Am. I think they are superb panniers. Regards, Nick J
