• 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.

    I am looking for something to cover the wear/rips in my seat for my 2017 F3-L. I looked at Ultimate Seats as a possibility, but I would like to use the funds for more fun stuff like performance shocks. Anyone have one of these covers and can provide feedback? Here is the site...

    When should you change your Spark Plugs?

    Thank you for that explanation. When I had my service around 28K the recommendation was to change the plugs, I am now glad I did. The bummer was it was a very expensive job due to the amount of things they needed to remove to get to them. :(

    Would a 2025 F3L SS seat fit a 2018 F3L - any good recommendations for replacement seats?

    My 2017 F3-L seat is starting to rip on the sides of the driver seat. I was thinking of not doing anything but I think in a few months it will become unsightly and probably start damaging the foam I sit on. I start to look at replacements and want to be thrifty and have an easy switch. I was...

    2023 RT - What do you guys get for miles between Brake Pad Replacements?

    When I first got my 2017 F3-L, I followed what the dealer told me - do not engine brake let the system do it for you, it knows better. That got me 8K - yes I was shocked too. I started engine breaking and have 25K on them so far. Engine braking (as I learned here) makes a world of difference.

    Do Tinted Helmet Visors diminish your ability to see out in the dark/night?

    Thanks for all the feedback. I do have a built-in, dropdown visor on my Shoei. During cooler weather it tends to fog easily, and if I have a pinlock on, the view is not as clear as I would like. Thank you. Jim

    Anyone tried Washing/Cleaning the Pads from inside a helmet?

    I put the pads in a laundry bag, washed on gentle cycle with cold water and mild laundry detergent. Left out to dry on a table.
