• 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.

    Recall for failure to shift into reverse - 2024 RT Limited

    Yeah, these documents frequently get smashed together and referred to on-line as "recalls". When actually, an official Recall is fairly rare. This is a Warranty Campaign. Only applies if an owner has experienced the problem. See Note at top of first page. Not fixed universally. If a dealer is...

    2017 F3 T Driver Back Rest is loose, can I tighten it?

    Sharon, looks like that adjustment bolt at time 6:40 in the video might be your culprit.

    Shifter woes have me stumped... Won't shift up - again! What's my next step?

    It would appear that you need an Operator's Guide. Just follow the procedure. It’s all in there. Your HCM filter will look different than the one in the picture. There was a change back in the day. Don’t put it in backwards. The filter cover bolts for the engine and HCM filter covers are...

    After oil refill and running, no oil in the HCM filter! Did I miss something?

    So, let's talk about P0562. The ECM, Cluster and DPS all monitor voltage and will individually trigger a P0562. You shouldn't be getting that unless something thinks that voltage is somewhere around 10 volts. The TCM also measures voltage and will set a low voltage fault, but it's a different...

    Does anyone know of the amp draw of the stock horn on the RT? - 2012 RT

    What Ray said. The horn for the 2012 is powered by F8. But, F8 also powers all electrical loads downstream of the load shedding relay once the engine starts. So, hitting that circuit with an additional 7 amps might not be the best. I thought there might have been a relay kit someplace that...

    2015 F3 S - are there specific locations the footpegs adjust to? How far back? What to look for in a new to me purchase?

    Just for the sake of accuracy, Lc, only the sprocket recall applies to the 2015. The shaft recall mentioned above is separate and began for the 2017 MY. Here's a copy of the Sprocket Recall Safety Bulletin. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2022/RCRIT-22V352-1338.pdf

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

    So, the bug screen clogs up with bugs instead of the radiators. Same effect. Suggestion would be to remove the screen, thoroughly clean it, inspect and clean the radiators, and go out and do a test drive. See what's what then. If still hot, do a test without the screen. A screen cuts down on...

    Shifter woes have me stumped... Won't shift up - again! What's my next step?

    99% of the time, shifting problems in the SE5 are due to one of two things. 1 - Low oil level in the tank. Shifting is performed by hydraulic oil pressure from the pump in the HCM. Low oil level affects the pumps ability to build up sufficient pressure. Maintain oil level in accordance with...

    Brooks Powersports in PA - reviews wanted - anyone had any experience with them?

    Well, I didn't mean"issues" as in something that the dealer would not want to talk about. Just, trying to read your mind and thinking of what you wouldn't be happy with. For example, it has a Two Brothers Racing exhaust, and, unless it's the lighting or shadows, what appears to be a RLS cat...

    Brooks Powersports in PA - reviews wanted - anyone had any experience with them?

    Not personally. But, hundreds of 5 Star Google reviews. You had mentioned in another thread of being interested in a ST and that you had back and hip stuff going on. Welcome to that club. I was just going to try to talk you out of that specific unit, that's all. Noticed some things in the...

    Where is the Starter & Solenoid on an F3?

    Hey Shubb. What year F3 is yours? Well, answering that first question, the starter solenoid is down beside the battery on the left side of the bike. Left as you're sitting on it. You can get to it without removing the frunk, but it's really awkward. But, checking the tightness of the...

    Battery Query - Does the Can-Bus system cause a battery drain?

    Oooohhhh. You were talking about the CANBUS mode on the Optimate. True. That mode is not applicable for the Spyder. Just the opposite. You’ll WANT the Optimate to go into desulfation mode to help recover the battery if it can be. Otherwise, new battery time. Taking a quick look at my 2023...
