• 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.

    Battery/Starting slow spin - is this common & why doesn't it start like a normal motorcycle?

    I found my 2018 service manual on the BRP website and the Yuasa YTX24HL-BS is listed as the Battery Type... It's no longer listed in the 2023 manual for my F3L SE6...

    Battery/Starting slow spin - is this common & why doesn't it start like a normal motorcycle?

    Yes, Sarah, my 2018 had a Yuasa and I have heard and understand the supply issue. Did they have a whole warehouse full of the poor quality substitue batteries left that they had to use up? If you look on the BRP website, the Yuasa battery is the battery they are selling as a replacement. I...

    Battery/Starting slow spin - is this common & why doesn't it start like a normal motorcycle?

    Andy, this OEM spec of 350 CCA, is that listed somewhere? I could not find it in my manual. I am annoyed that I had to replace my OEM battery after just 15 months, 18,000 miles, and hooked to a working tender all winter. I started showing a VSS code in the mornings on a recent trip to New...

    My MPG skyrocketed in ECO Mode - is ECO Mode really that much better?

    I did a video a few years ago about gas mileage - I rode from PA to Florida in one mode and back in another (regular and ECO, as I don't have Sport on my F3L). The mileage in ECO was not significant enough of an increase for me to ever ride in ECO mode again, lol. That was on my 2018. I will...

    Where are you from? Where do you live?

    Pennsyltucky! That's Western PA, Shippenville. 😉 We live in a rural area, not much traffic, some beautiful roads, lots of rivers to ride along, some twisties, and the fall foliage is beautiful. Not usually able to ride much from Nov to March due to snow, cold. I believe every State has...

    Hello, Deanna! Hope all is well with you...would love to see a pic of what you've added thus far. In response to your question, no, I have not added the trim...not even sure what that is.

    Traded my 2022 F3 Ltd for a 2024 F3 Ltd - lots to like!

    Nice that the grips have multiple settings! That was a dislike for me on my 2018 and my 2023 that they only have one heat setting, hence I added heated grip wraps. Also great about the turn signal cancelling improvement! For those with older models, FrogmanDave has developed a better button and...
