• 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.

    Your First One

    My first "real" motorcycle was a 1964 Yamaha 125, probably a YA-5 as it didn't have oil injection. It came in a box, I dragged it home and listened to my Dad tell me I'd never get it put together... then he handed me a copy of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycling" and made helpful suggestions when...

    Battery Tender Connection Options F3-S

    I ran mine straight from the battery terminals (fused on the positive lead) out the right side behind the frunk tub and zip tied it in place at the front edge of the right front "wheel well" so I don't have to open anything to plug/unplug.

    just out of curiousity would you go to a event

    Absent a successful vaccine and/or a zero new reported infection rate, I'd say "no". Maybe the mid to late summer by the time this resolves.

    Comm Options

    My pleasure. Forgot to add that I can link my phone to the Garmin via Bluetooth and either use it as a music source (not really needed since the Garmin has MP3 files and is connected to satellite radio) or make/receive phone calls (not that I have the mental bandwidth to talk on the phone and...

    Ready to go and no place to go to.

    At least it's dry where you are... (looking up at the snow falling on the Sierras) lol

    I'll give it a shot: Main unit installed in the space where the F3T CB/intercom would go. If you look carefully, just below the green electrical plug, you can see the auxiliary load center that powers the unit as well as our heated clothing connections. Main power comes from a conduited and...

    WELL, if this is what retirement is like......

    Just south of Carson City, in the Carson Valley. It's just a short jaunt to the Sierra passes from here!

    I'll admit to being the black sheep in this crowd... I still prefer a wired system. We use a MotoChello.

    March Weather

    Wanted to get out last week... and it snowed. Looking at the weather for the next few days, I might manage it this week. Next Tuesday's forecast is 65 degrees, hope it stays that way.

    Prudence or Panic?

    Ron, Prudence and perspective may indeed be our best tools in the current situation. Regardless of whether the fatality rate of CV is greater or lesser than influenza, the sheer virulence of CV rates prudent treatment. BTW, I had a flu shot this year... and caught the flu anyway. I was...

    made some f3 passenger arm rest

    Nice work and they look more useful to the passenger than the factory armrests, especially more room for your passenger to mount/dismount!

    F3 Riding in the rain?

    I'm using the Show Chrome windshield. I've had no problem with riding in the rain; it mostly passes over the top of my helmet (I'm 6'). I did adjust the angle a little forward with spacers at the top bolts, but nothing else.

    WELL, if this is what retirement is like......

    Dave, welcome to the ranks of the retirees! I've failed at retirement three times... retired from LE by injury, a tour as a high school teacher (tougher than being a cop IMO!), private school administrator, production manager and now warranty repairs manager for a rapidly growing manufacturer...

    question for those who have a RT & F3

    I wasn't comfortable with the leaning out, "tippy" feeling of the RT. On the F3T, I was pretty much instantly comfortable. As it's already been stated, it's a matter of sitting "on" vs. "in" the two different models.

    The cure?

    This morning, just south of Carson City, there were several inches of accumulated snow on the ground. This afternoon, it was almost all gone. This evening, it snowed again. If it melts off by tomorrow afternoon, I'm disconnecting the F3 from life support and going for a ride no matter how...

    F3 Gas Mileage

    30 MPG here... but I ride it like I stole it. None of that Eco mode for me!

    New Map functions

    Tried it. I was able to drop a new pin, but the radio buttons for tools/trailer, etc. did not show up except for one unlabled set of yes/no buttons and two text windows. Tried both Firefox and an older Seamonkey browser on Win 7, same result in both. I tried it several times, sorry if it...

    What’s that smell?

    My F3T has the same hot rubber odor when I pull it into the garage. It didn't change one way or another when I added the factory belt tensioner. No signs of sprocket misalignment or unusual wear to date, either. Didn't think about road junk on the cat, but the smell is pure hot rubber. Guess...
