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.
F3 Frame question...

:agree: The bracket... :thumbup:
And as far as I know they have brought out the 17 F3 and F3s with the same poor rear shock which bottoms out too easily, arguably - along with maybe a weld issue - a cause of the frame issue.
It would not have cost too much to have the two-up shock as standard - a cheap way to gain happy customers, a good reputation, and more sales for BRP.
my husbands F3S, soon to be mine, needed the two up shock just for him at 95kg weight. Very poor, BRP.

2016 and 2017 t and limited has a new swing arm. along with that, a new shock was added in 2016 and yet another upgrade in 2017 spring models from what I understand!

FRAME
The swing arms both styles fit ALL the F-3's. So they are interchangeable and retro-fittable, as I understand it ......Mike :thumbup:
Yep I know the T and Ltd have better frame and rear air shock, my point was that BRP have persisted with the substandard shock on f3 and f3s.
The whole back end on the T is different.
Its not the swing arm which is cracking so swapping would not solve this.
We have the bracket and two up shock on f3s, just hoping we didn't have to do the same on the new Daytona . Looks like we do.

If you look at the parts diagram of the frame you can see the 2016/17 F3, F3-S has been beefed up where the rear sub frame bolts onto the rear of the main frame.
