• 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.

    After advice on purchasing Slingmod's armrest for a 2024 S2S?

    I installed a similar item on my F3-Limited. The description makes it seem the arm rests are adjustable, they are not. They move laterally slightly and they are positioned lower than I thought - they do not move up and down. That said, my passenger does like them and feels very secure the the...

    How do you determine your head Shape when buying a helmet?

    Well I know this can open a bunch of jokes at my expense - but here it goes. When buying a helmet how can you determine the shape of your head - round oval, intermediate oval, or long oval. I know about measuring around your head to find the Sm/Md/Lg size, but the shape is more confusing on...

    Recall - 2017-2019 RT and F3 Engine Output Shaft Can Break!

    So based on the announcement by BRP, if your machine is OVER the threshold you get nothing done? How do you think this threshold came about. Thinking out loud, they probably picked a threshold to limit the "free" corrections they would need to pay for. I am way over the threshold, so I am out...

    F3 owners - how does the rider's backrest mount?

    I bought the backrest from Lamonster - it bolts under the seat where you attach the portion that you can slide the backrest into and out of. It is easy to remove the backrest with this setup and installation was easy. The hardest part was getting the driver's seat back onto the machine.

    F3 LTD owners - how do you run wires fm dash top compartment to h/bars?

    I have a 2017 and when I use the USB port in that compartment, I use a piece of tape to keep the lid shut. I cannot bring myself to creating a hole in the lid, because I am not confident I will not crack, break, or screw it up. I found that at highway speeds, the lids opens up, City driving...
