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.
Anyone changed base F3 turn signals to LED's?

LED's
I replaced my rear bulbs with Lamonster LED's but can't get ride of the Hyper flash. I tried resetting per Lamonster directions - hold down the emergency flasher button for 30 seconds, then turn emergency flashers off, then allow the turn signal to signal once, then turn off the bike. Then do the other Right or left you did not do the first time. I tried this process many times but still have hyper flash. Don't know if not having front LED's in the blinkers is the issue. Any one know or know what I'm doing wrong???

Rapid Blinker Correction
This works no need to use resistors.
Should your blinkers go into Hyper-flash, you can try the following procedure to fix this.
1. Turn the bike on.
2. Hold down the hazard light switch on for 30-45 seconds.
3. Turn the hazards off and put the right signal on and turn the bike off right after the first blink on the blinker.
4. Repeat the same process for the left side.

Bruce I have tried this process many times on my F3 and I still have hyper flash. I don't know if it is because the front blinkers are still stock and only the rear blinkers swapped out with LED's??
Thanks, Jeff
Jeff, It doesn't make any difference whether the front are still stock, but you must be very quick turning off the key (after the first blink) I have done several now.

This has worked for me:
Engine running, hold down the hazard button for 30 seconds, then activate both side turn signals, one then the other, while holding down the hazard button and then turn off the ignition. You may need to do this more than once but it's always worked for me. I originally had only changed out the tail light bulbs but now have LED's all the way around.

This only partially works on the F3S. Since the bike shares the same lamps for stop and turn functions, there is no provision in the software to calibrate both instances. So do the procedure above without your foot on the brake and it sort of works. Until you hit your brakes......
On the F3S, if you are replacing the stock lamps, the resistors or lamps with the resistors built in are going to be needed to get rid of the hyperflash.

Spyderpops has rear LED kits for the F3 and F3T each with strobe modules already wired in.

That's from AutoZone, correct?
Can someone tell me if the Spyderpops or Lamonster tail light kits come with bulbs that replace the stock bulbs, or is it just add-on LEDs and keeping the stock bulbs?
Has anyone installed LED front signal bulbs with the rear kit?
Bruce,
I've tried the process many times, but still not working. Let me ask this question, does the bike ignition need to be in the on position (which is what I've been doing and Lamonster did in their video) or does the bike actually need to be running, as someone noted below.
Thanks,
Jeff

One per side. These bulbs are what I use and work very well.

How many 1157R bulbs are required per side
one per side, each under its own lens
I found these from Superbright LEDs. Have used their stuff before and it is top quality but a bit pricey.
They may not cause the hyper flash problem.
May give them a try along with amber led for the front
