• 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.

Hey ya all I do not know if any of you have noticed this type of problem, but when it started getting colder here in Germany I noticed that my F3 in normal mode got a little sluggish off the line I used to be able to spin the wheels off and now it wont even chirp them and in eco mode it will chirp the tire off the line I took it to my dealer with whom I am absolutely satisfied by the way and he had a look and could not find any direct problems and also in buds no fault codes

one thing I did notice though is a smell like rubber getting hot or maybe just by some whim the exhaust
smelling because of this I will be looking a lot closer when I finally get home again if I didn't by chance melt a vacuum line or something,

if any one else out there has had something similar I would love to hear about it


help me get that performance back that I was used to
 
Don't know..!!

but maybe the burnt rubber is from the tire spinning....:yikes: they don't chirp as much in the cold...:roflblack: not familiar with the eco on the F3's but mostly it was a indicator for when to shift....:dontknow:

I agree........I thought we decided that eco mode was merely a shift indicator and had nothing to do with ECU fuel maps or timing. It doesn't affect the operation or economy of the engine at all.

Yeah, I have smelled the same smell on my wife's F3 as well. I can't tell if it is from the rear tire or from the exhaust, but it definitely is strongest on the exhaust side. Kind of a hot rubber smell, kind of an exhaust smell. So far we've chalked it up to the bike being new.

No idea on the eco/normal mode thing, sorry.
