• 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.

Exhaust sound on F3

Thanks to Cuznjohn for posting this YouTube video in reference to changing the position/linkage of the UFit system. At the 1:12 mark you will hear an F3 start up and hear the lower exhaust sound it produces.
 
not bad, but to fully appreciate the exhaust you need to hear it when its downshifting. Certainly a big step for a stock muffler on a spyder to sound somewhat like a motorcycle
 
Inline triple sound

Sounds just like a four stroke inline triple. The reason I say this is that I've owned three bikes with inline triple engines, a 1979 Yamaha XS750 Special, a 1996 Triumph Adventurer 900 and the big daddy, a 2010 Triumph Rocket III Touring 2300cc. All three bikes had a similar sound but each had it's very own character. The Yamaha had a more diesel-like sound to it while the Adventurer had more of a WWII fighter plane sound (think P-51 or British Spitfire) and the Rocket III reminded me of an inboard marine engine (think an old Cris Craft speedboat or even a WWII PT boat). Similar but different as strange as that may sound to you.
 
Same Motor

That's not at all surprising being as it's the same motor. The exhaust might be a bit throatier but hard to tell from a video.
 
That's OK

No harm-No foul, I'm ok with that. Anyhow the triple has a unique sound unlike a twin or a four cylinder. Performance-wise they are kind-of the best of both in torquey-ness and in top end horsepower.
