• 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.

    Battery Tender Cable Installation

    My F3t came from the dealer with a battery tender plug in the front trunk. They do it at the predelivery inspection.

    China & COVID-19 virus

    I for one am going to avoid all the Chinese stuff possible because most of it is junk. As for the virus the whole thing seems suspicious to me. We need to get to the real truth somehow. If the wet market story is true and they let them open them again they deserve what they get just build the...

    Turn Signals

    I have a 2019 F3t and I'm not sure about how to work the turn signals. They work just fine in either direction and go off after a turn. But if they get switched in either direction by accident and I want to switch them off I'm doing something wrong. As I read the owners manual all you need to do...

    2015 F3 not starting

    2015 F3 not starting

    Read this and remember a new battery has to be prepped properly so it will last. I have a battery load tester for small batteries if you are close enough. BRP found out years ago that early battery failure was mostly caused by not being properly prepped when it was sold...

    2015 F3 not starting

    If the charger you used is like a Battery Tender it will not charge a completely dead battery. They have to have some charge to start working. So let your truck charge it a bit and try your charger again. Read the first part of this...

    Lubricating cables

    I use an air nozzle to force the lube through the cable. Snowmobiles will get water (melted snow) in the cables that needs blown out. Cable lube will help corrosion also. I have a friend who ran a snowmobile into the side of his car from a frozen cable.

    Ultimate F3 Floorboards

    I have them on a 2019 F3t and love them. Be sure to get your pegs adjusted to the most comfortable position before you order them as there are 5 different floorboards to choose from, it's just the bolthole position that's different.

    black panels

    I have a 2019 F3t which is blue. It also has some glossy black panels. Does anyone know if those are painted or molded plastic? I don't want to use the wrong polish on them and ruin the gloss.

    Tire picture.

    If you don't have a tire depth gauge put a penny in the grove with Lincolns head down. If you can see all of his head the tire is worn out (2/32's).

    RT 2010 SE5 coolant Leak

    If your not sure where its coming from go to a good auto parts store and get a bottle of dye that shows up under black light. I don't remember the brand name. With it in a dark garage pour it in run it a few minutes then look it over with a black light and the leak will glow. Coolant leaks can...

    Fuel octane explained.

    All true and good info. I was trying to keep my post short so people would read it. Something I noticed when testing knock sensors on Ski-Doo motors with a timing light is the timing would try to return to normal after the tap with a hammer. All of this was a bigger problem on 2 stroke than 4...

    Fuel octane explained.

    Interesting, FWI I have a 2019 F3t and run premium. In years past I worked for a BRP dealer on Ski-Doo snowmobiles and Can Am atv's and went to several of their service schools. The later Rotax motors had a knock sensor on them to retard the timing for various reasons 1 of which was spark...

    Crankshaft Position Sensor

    remove it and look for metal filings if it's magnetic like many others. They weaken the pulse produced by it and can be intermittent at first.

    Spyder F3t lift

    I have a 2019 F3t. I am looking for a lift to use for winter storage so I can move it closer to the wall. In reading about them the J&S jack says it won't work on an F3 just Rt's. So I looked up the frames in the parts manual and they are different. So Does anyone use a lift on an F3? What...
