New to the F3 World

[jephillips44]

Greetings

I just traded my 2015 RT-S in for the 2017 F3-Limited. One of the first things i noticed was that the rear bag liner really stinks. I tried soaking it in hot soapy water and used vinegar. Has anyone else experienced this and fix the new smell? I was thinking that I need to lay it out in the sun for a few days. Looking forward to riding this machine.

Thanks Jeff

:congrats: on the new F3. Can't help much with the bag stink--other than what has been said already.

I have noticed the rear bag having a bad smell on several F3s that were brand new, let it air out for a few days and all is well.

I started to type a joke to this thread, but my conscience got the better of me pps:

Thanks all

I ended up washing it down with dawn and a good scratch pad. There was a sticky film on both sides. It almost came completely off.

No smell with mine. At least any that really turned me off. Just smelled new to me.

The dryer sheet is a good suggestion.
