• 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.

    How common are 2021 RT Ltd air suspension failures?

    $27500 at the dealership probably includes the following: consignment fee 10-15% 27500 x .85=$23375 it may also include GST and PST at the dealer not knowing where you live $23375 x .95= $22,200. An offer of $22K or less directly to the owner will likely get you a bill of sale and that may be...

    How common are 2021 RT Ltd air suspension failures?

    Bottom line is what is the bike worth to you? If it is at the dealership ask them for the sons name and you should be able to save yourself several thousand dollars which would be the consignment fee. It is off warranty so you have to decide risk vs reward on buying a new(er) one.

    How to DIY - Install a Shad 44 top case on a 22 F3S

    I ordered the Shad 44 top case and support brackets from Shad Canada, there is also a Shad USA and others that sell direct. I chose the Shad 44 because I didn't want or need anything too bulky since I ride solo and I don't like the look of the Shad saddlebags. I use them only on an over night...

    Is this a rebranded Haijiu? (F3-S 2026)

    Did you get a spec. sheet from the dealer? If not type the info in the search column and you will see that the CCA spec. says 350 CCA not 300 CCA so that corresponds to the smaller battery spec of 21 Ah. You may want to have a conversation with the dealer and see if he will switch your current...

    Has anyone mixed Rotella T6 5W40 and Amsoil 10W40?

    I wouldn't, because of the potential for incompatible addidives. I would buy enough for a complete oil change and use them up. I realize that their is always dilution with the residual oil when you change brands but bottom line its your decision. 🤑

    Need HELP?! My Spyder is running Hot at High Speeds?

    I haven't had an overheat problem, but my thoughts are that the window screen is great for eliminating any type of debris that would tend to get in the fins of the rads, but it would also restrict air flow at higher speeds, maybe to the point of adding to a tired rad (partially plugged on the...

    Spyder RT with a Goldwing Engine (Not AI)

    Beautiful job on the transplant for sure, it must be heavier because it's 1800cc horizontally opposed, and it must be an absolute heat monster to ride anywhere that gets warm in the summer, with no heat shields, etc. 🤑

    Any recommendations on a Trickle charge set up for a Canyon?

    My 2022 F3S has not been on a trickle charger since new. Charge the battery overnight and take off one lead from the battery before storage. In the Spring, put it on the charger again before connecting the lead and riding. Mine will be parked from mid October until at least mid April. My 2019...

    Introducing myself and my 'Batmobile'.

    The F3S is more of a single rider chassis and there is no magic set of springs. Friends I ride with are both smaller riders and they went to Elka shocks all around with better adjustability, but it took a number of tries to adjust the spring, shock setting, and air pressure to minimize the rear...

    Anyone else get this Howling Noise? What's the fix?

    Its an easy adjustment and you can do it yourself just make small adjustments, maybe a quarter turn on one side until you get it right. Take a picture and make some notes so that you can see if you are getting better or worse. Good luck.

    Trading in my Ryker, it's time for an F3-T - what issues should I be looking for/concerned about?

    I have a 22 F3S with Elka 2 front shocks, BajaRon standard front sway bar, and a Monster FI Stage 2 for a nice jump in performance. ;)
