Which F3's have Sport Mode?

[AY4B]

No Sport mode on the limited. You can however get an ECU stage 2 Flash and have all the speed you want and still have your nanny keep you planted on the ground.

Does the F3 Limited have the sport mode?

 

[blacklightning]

The only spyder with sport mode is the F3S. The Limited and the F3T do not have sport mode.

Model year would help. If MY 2020 and later, yes, and it's explained in the operator's guide.

:shocked: you got me on that one. I wasn't aware of any models of the F3 Limited that got the sport mode. I thought that was something that wasn't introduced until 2017, and only on the F3S models. Guess I learn something every day. I am still disappointed that the larger sprocket is not available on the F3 Limited and F3T anymore. A friend just picked up a 2021 F3T, and I am anxious to see how it compares to my 2016 F3T with the larger sprocket.

Geee .. I wish my 2019 F3S had the 79t drive pulley

mine is a 2021 I see it in the owners manual but when I push the mode button only eco

 

[JayBros]

AH---HA!!! Actually all I did was go to the 2020 operator's guide and it looked to me like the Ltd had it but if it doesn't show up when you push the Mode button I guess it does not have it. My apologies, although I must admit I've been looking at poorly written operator's guides since the 1330 ACE engine came out. The MY 2014 RT manual was a mess.

BRP manuals appear to be written by someone who has seen a picture of a Spyder but never actually tried to ride one or use the dash features. Easily one of the worst manuals I have ever seen. They should take a lesson from the people who write the Harley manuals (which are exceptionally complete and easy to understand).

:agree: The manuals leave much to be desired. A lot of cut/paste stuff where it should not be. When in doubt, ask the site. Someone will have a good answer. :bowdown: And...it may even be right. :roflblack:

My 2016 F3T has the 89 tooth rear pulley. I love it. I get better gas milage and have more umph when it comes to off the line acceleration.

If you want Sport mode performance on a Limited, get your ECU flashed with a monster Stage 2.

I just purchased the 2021 F3ltd. It has ECO or standard throttle. When I push in the mod button, it goes from one to the other. I keep it in standard mode and prefer it because it gives better control of the throttle with less turning of the throttle.

does the f3 limited have the sport mode

Have you tried holding the mode and up buttons down together for about 3 seconds to see if the traction control turns off? If it does, you have "sport" mode, because that's all sport mode really is. It turns off all the "babysitters" that keep you from riding hard!

Sorry, but NOTHING short of a physical intervention of some sort (cut sensor wires; pull sensor plugs &/or fuses; modify ECU/VCM; etc... :sour: ) will actually '....turn off all the "babysitters" ...' :banghead: . All that Sport Mode really does for those models that actually have it is to scale back the traction control intervention & for some models/versions, maybe it'll give you a few more degrees of steering input &/or an extra couple of mph in road speed with a spinning rear wheel before it intervenes! So sure, it's 'Sport Mode' of a sort, just not a mode that's really sporty enough to let you think BRP thought you were competent enough or adult enough to let you send the babysitter home with that selection! :gaah:

Regardless of models &/or the Modes you have, as mandated/legislated thru various agreed international & national safety conventions, the 'Nanny' & all her 'Driver assistance' aids ( ) are there ALL of the time, without any 'turn them off' options - all you get with some models is the ability to select Sport Mode which gets her to relax juuuust a little bit.... but just like Big Brother, she's still there checking up on you and still doing EVERYTHING she always does, just a little later & maybe a touch less aggressively!
