• 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-s tyre pressures

My operator's guide refers me to the inside of the right side inspection panel on the bike. I cannot find any mention of tyre (tire) pressures. Or inside the left side inspection panel. Can someone tell me what they are, please?
 
There you have it....

All prior models had the information on the swing arm but not sure about the F3 from the parts decal location it looks to be on the swing arm as well...:dontknow:
 
For stock tires -
18 +/- 2 #lbs for fronts
28 +/- 2 #lbs for rear

Yep those are OEM Kenda psi's ….. and every possible combination of PSI's have been tried to increase the mileage of the rear tire …. NOTHING works to help that issue ………….. However if / when you switch to Auto tires things will be quite different …. because of the Strength of Auto tires compared to the Kenda's ( or Arachnids :gaah: ) ….. folks have used this range Fronts 15-18 psi …. Rears 16-19 psi , these numbers have developed over many 100,000's of miles …. so it's no longer guess work …. ride safe - ride happy ….. Mike :ohyea:

I won't be switching to car tyres.
 
I would say the correct tire pressures are what works for you. I run the fronts harder than 18psi as it give more 'bite' from the front tires and improves turn in to corners. It also raises the ride height a few mm which helps with speed bumps and getting in and out of my drive.

So experiment a bit and see what you think.
 
Look on page 182 of the Owner's Manual. If you don't have one, it is a free download from BRP.

That is where the tire info is listed for the 2019 F3............ not sure what year you have. You did not say. If it is some other year the tire info will still be there in the Owner's Manual, but maybe on a different page.
