Swaybar

[Godlover]

Ok, I'm fairly new here and only have 300 miles on my F3. Before purchasing I read many post here saying one of the first mods should be the Swaybar. I love how my F3 handles and corners. I like the suspension too although I upgraded the rear shock. My question: Is there really that much improvement to replace the Swaybar?

Here's the thing....

If you are happy with the way things are you don't need to do a thing but ryde and enjoy your ryde...hyea: if as you get better and more confident you feel you need more then look into changing things..:thumbup:

I only have about 400 miles on mine and am heading up to Lamonster in 2 weeks to have one swapped. Everyone says it will really transform the handling.

The sway makes an immediate difference. Turn-in response is much quicker and the unit more stable overall. (Price though
is a bit nuts considering the amount of steel in the piece vs an automotive sway, which is no different. Supply and demand)

It's like a nite n day difference!!! Always do yourself a favor n listen to guys that either own an F3 or have at the very least some extensive riding knowledge of it.. I find it hilarious that some comments come from people that don't even own one.. They must sit around just waiting to post all over this site just to get their post count into the high digits... The swaybar is well worth the money,, I have one and if it wasn't good believe me,,,, I would say so.. Congratulations on the new ride

To sway or not to ssway

I put the Ronjon on my 2014 RT . I feel that my new F3 Limited corners better than the RT with its stock bar. Never really noticed any improvement on the RT. See no point in changing it for $200+.

YES

At some point I'll do the sway bar upgrade. I have other more important improvements I would like to make first!! Thanks for your input!

The F3 is so much better than our RS, even with two different heavier swaybars installed (but not at the same time, of course!)

I can push our F3 with the standard swaybar to the limits of stability control at any time - what I can't do, though, is lift an inside front wheel on aggressive cornering, like I can do on our RS at any time I want to. In other words, it handles so well that I cannot see any reason to change what works well.

I wonder, though, how people assess performance in this area - someone in another thread even claimed a night and day difference to handling (cornering) when he installed another REAR shock. I cannot see how that can be, and certainly did not experience any change in handling. What we did get with an Elka rear, even in its factory, too-firm compression damping state, was an immediately noticeable softer ride, because it wasn't hitting the bump stop all the time.
