• 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.

Best / Worst year for F3?

So.... I've seen a few F3 / F3-S for sale lately... and started wondering. Is there a "good year" for the F3? Is there a year to stay away from?

Please forgive me if there is already a thread. Didn't find one.
 
There was a frame issue cracks under passenger area, sorry not sure what years, or resolution.
 
2015 was the first year for the F3 & F3S. The frame crack issue was only on the 2015's. Not really an issue though. It was taken care of with a mandatory warranty recall. All 2015's should have been fixed with a bolt-on plate under the seat.
 
From what I have gleaned by the problems posted on this forum, the 2017 seems to have the least troubles. The 2018s had problems with the left handlebar control pod.
But keep this in mind; For every problem posted, there are many thousands out there that never had any. So what you see on any forum is disproportionate to the real picture.
 
The F3 basically replaced the ST. I went from a 2014 ST Limited to a 2017 F3 Limited. Nice upgrade!
