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.
Broke in N.C.

Don't know..!!
If your on an sm or se. From the explanation sounds like a semi auto se. Quick look on the part list I didn't see that part listed. Would assume it is in the actuator or internal gear shifting or clutch system. Did they give you more or just a name..?? :dontknow:

Just tri-pulley, motor sounds fine and I can feel it trying to engage, I figure it is the front belt pulley, headed to the dealer now, hopefully I will know soon..SE-6..
UPDATE: Front drive sprocket stripped out at 11,500 miles, whats up BRP? Took me 6 months to get my SADDLEBAGS, hope this is a little faster 2015 F3 6ES...
Yep it was the front pulley stripped, manual calls it a SPROCKET even though it is belt driven...
I was told parts are in stock, 4-5 days...if not I am going for a loaner....its fall riding here in the blue ridges....
Picked up the SPYDER this morning. Seems tighter and shifting smoother, maybe I just had a bad sprocket to start, will finish the run to Highlands, NC I started and test it out. Down one week and was going through withdrawal pains..

Not the first time
That wasn't the first time I heard of this on the board. The last one had a loose sprocket nut. Maybe it's time we all took a look at our sprockets (pulleys) and checked the nuts for correct torque on a regular basis. It's not hard to do and won't take much time.

Field tested the new front sprocket with a passenger in the GREAT SMOKIES this weekend, everything fine. Seems the shifting might be a little smoother and no lost motion. Also I did not recognize no belt travel as I had before....
Front Sprocket completely stripped out, had noticed belt travel prior, shop said it would settle down. Lot better and less vibration with new sprocket. Belt probably set with new specs, haven't checked tension yet...

Exactly the same problem!
Last Saturday, I had exactly the same problem but I was taking off from a traffic light. Engine ran fine, shifted fine, but very little power, lots of noise and slippage. Diagnosis was front sprocket stripped. Parts are available and I pick mine up tomorrow. Of course it's 200 miles away. Nothing ever happens close to,home! I hope we aren't starting an epidemic!

How many miles did you have on your F3 when this happened. Maybe at a certain mileage the sprocket gives. Is this something we can check ourselves?

Same Problem
I have a little over 17,000 miles on my F3 with many of them in the mountains of NC and Colorado. A few thousand in my home state of Florida.
