• 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.

    What a Great Spyders in the Ozarks rally!

    Great event No excuses or apologies necessary. Judi and I watched Lamont, Joan, Jacob and crew work their buns off every day to make this SITO event a smashing success. Prayers are offered up by us that Lamont and Joan stay healthy for many more years of service to the Can Am community .

    Gearing

    Fellas - all 2016 and older model F3s had 89t rear sprockets. I wanted higher gearing, so ultimately sold my 2016 F3T, went to the 2016 RT Ltd(79t sprocket), and finally back to my present 2017 F3Ltd, which was the first F3 model to come out with a 79t sprocket. I am not sure about newer year...

    Factory Cruise Control . . Baaad JuJu !

    hey fellas - if cruise control is set, never mind the throttle - simply use your thumb to push the cc button up to increase speed, or down to decrease speed. Been doing this on both my '16 f3t and '17 f3 ltd and my '16 rt ltd.

    Not happy

    Not 1130 - All F3's have the Rotax Triple 1330cc engine from 2015 to present. Older Can Ams have the Twin cylinder 998cc engine.

    Fender lights - TRICLED or Showchrome

    Ok, so I have mounted Showchrome fender lights on my former RT Ltd, and now want to do the same for my new '17 F3Ltd. Which is best - TRICLED or Showchrome?

    Leftover new 2016 F3T?

    That is correct - of the 2017 F3s, ONLY the F3 Limited has the smaller 79tooth sprocket - same as the RT models.

    JT's NHR Carrier

    Thanks Freegle - what I have been looking for. A mud flap would definitely be a must. I'm assuming you have the black dry box, which JT provides(from Cabelas)?

    F3 Limited or RT Limited for 2up Riding, Newbie here with questions

    Incorrect - a 2016 or 2017F3T with an added trunk is not the same as a 2017 F3 Ltd with standard trunk. Biggest difference is in the gearing. The F3Ts have 89tooth rear sprockets, whereas the 2017 F3 Ltd has a 79tooth sprocket(like the RT models). Thus, lower rpms at 70mph cruising. This is...

    F3 LTD Top Case

    Go ahead - mount the new top case to your '16 F3LTD - you will not lose any performance. Your dealer should have been able to explain the performance difference. That is, if he knew the 2017 F3LTD has the 79tooth rear sprocket(as do all the RTs), whereas the '16 Ltd has the 89tooth sprocket...

    JT's NHR Carrier

    I posted the same question on this forum a couple of months ago, and while others noted the quality workmanship of JT'S products, no one has come forward to post a 'product review'. I spoke personally with JT, and he indicated that a strap was needed to hold down the dry box, because, when he...

    Source of noise on left side of ACE 1330 engine

    That "banshee" howling noise is a great description of what I hear on my 2016 RT LTD. Had my 3k oil change done recently and the noise seemed to disappear, but has returned. I have not asked my dealer (PitBull Powersports) about it, but wonder if I should, just to get it documented for the...

    Anone have the NHR from JT'S Machine Shop?

    I have spoken with JT - evidently all is ready to order, according to the website (although the dry box shows out of stock). JT says the box will come with a strap, as the bungee cords come loose, due to the bouncing of the swingarm. I have yet to verify that anyone has purchased this item, or...

    Anone have the NHR from JT'S Machine Shop?

    That is the No Hitch Required with Dry Box. I don't really want to pull a trailer with my RT, and believe the NHR would provide enough extra storage for road trips. Has anyone used one of these - if so, any opinion on quality, ride characteristics, etc?

    F3T OEM Top Case / tail pack with rack pics new for 2016

    Yes I do - took it off the RT - Two Brothers Racing Carbon Black Series - beautiful and light. Was an $800 installed add--on, but too loud for this old vet. Am going to post for sale if I cannot sell locally,

    F3T OEM Top Case / tail pack with rack pics new for 2016

    Hey Rudy - Wife and I are really enjoying our 16 RT LTD, but still get a tinge of sellers remorse when I see what you have added to my former bike. Looks great, and I am thrilled that you are enjoying the ride. Blessings to you and hope to meet up some time.
