• 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.

2019 F3S Special - need help getting into Settings?

I'm usually can figure things out by myself but this one has me stumped. I bought a 2019 F3S Special Series (the one with the Liquid Titanium color and orange frame and handlebars) and can't for the life of me figure out how to get into the settings (to change the clock, or English/metric, etc.)

The controls on this bike seem a bit odd. It has the joystick and rear button (where the CB push-to-talk used to be) on the left control pod but the dash is NOT the fancy color display. It's similar to the Ryker display (black on orange) but slightly bigger than the Ryker display and has no buttons around the display like the Ryker does. I can get to "Settings" on the display by pushing the joystick to the right a couple of times but I can't figure out how to actually get into the settings. The button on the rear of the left control pod appears to do absolutely nothing. The manual is of no help because it says to "press the Menu button" except there is no Menu button.

Can anyone help me feel less stupid?

TIA,
 
If your manual is not available, try you tube they may have a video that will give you the step by step!! When you finally get the steps you'll never forget it!!! Good luck
 
You need to depress central joystick control to the right to go through the settings and hold it longer (1-2 sec) to change value.
After adjustment is done hold it again (1-2 sec) depressed to verify adjustment.
Hopefully it will help.
 
Why struggle through things when the information is in pg 23-24 and 33-34 of the operator's guide?

Yep, I got the 2019 F3-S Special Series. That works to set it. The setting on the left side, like zeroing the trip odometers are started by pulling the joy stick button left. The clock, miles vs klicks, and stuff on the right side of the screen are accessed by first pushing the joystick button to the right.

Right out of the manual...........

Unit Selection
This multifunction gauge is factory pre-
set in Imperial units but it is possible to
change it to Metric units.
Using MENU button, select UNITS
and hold button to change units.

Setting Clock
Using MENU button, Select CLOCK
and hold to change time.
Press the LOWER button to select the
information to be modified.
When selected, hold the LOWER but-
ton to enter in the modification mode.
Press LOWER button until the new
value is displayed.
Wait 2-3 second to accept the change.

Setting Language
The gauge display language can be
changed. Refer to an authorized
Can-Am On-Road dealer for language
availability and to setup the gauge to
your preference.

Thanks Nikit. I eventually stumbled on this myself. That "go to Settings then hold the joystick to the right again for 1-2 seconds to actually enter the settings" was the part the manual left out.
