Cycleworld F3 T and F3 Limited Review

[old Timer]

We tried out a new F3 at the dealer in Chattanooga for my wife, we loved it.

I have a question, can the rear sprocket be swapped out for the RT rear sprocket so as to lower the RPM at cruising speed in 6th? Would no doubt require the RT drive belt as well. Would that interfere with the electronics, ie engine speed vs wheel speed.

Would probably up the Mileage plus smoothness and quietness.

She is looking to see a '16 touring model.............

Forgot to add, there was a new Tri Glide with 75 miles on the sales floor, someone had just traded it in on a new F3.

Akspyderman are you still liking the F3 in red? Looks gorgeous in those pics. Great reading the review :thumbup:

I am NOT liking the red color as shown in the photographs. Early pictures of the red on the Can Am website looked more Candy Apple red. That color I liked. The red as shown in the article is not my cup of tea.

Dealer does not have any in stock yet to see. He said he has one of each color coming in the LTD version. I discussed the red with him and he has not seen the red up close and personal. If it is red as shown in the article--I would opt for white instead.

I test sat his 2015 F3 and DID NOT LIKE the ergonomics and feel of the driving position. He had a Corbin seat installed--so the set back may make a difference in my perception. The U-Fit was sized for someone small like me and was at the "shortest" position.

I am expecting the ride to be different from the RT, but if I have to give up the comfort I am used to--I am going to stick with the 2014 RT. Its paid for, so I would be able to keep my money in the bank.

Time will tell. In a hundred days or so, I will either have a new one, or NOT.

Hmmm....Difficut call there Dwayne. I think that the bars length and reach / footpegs can be adjusted to be good for most ryders
and I find that the stock seat is MUCH more comfy than the RS-S ever was, even with the Corbin Lamonster seat which
I had fitted. I also lost the pegs and fitted those Web Boards...WOW! What a surprise they gave me! Really great comfort
and able to move around a lot more....excellent! My back is now well supported and I can literally ride all day!
One thing I did find was that a back rest limits my fore/aft movement too much and I'm better off without one.
Just my two pennies worth....
