• 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.

    How to Fix Hyperflash in Directional Signals??

    Bert. Please always give the year of your bike. They change most everything each year and consistency on solutions is patchy. Contact TricLED for a replacement of the side light. Sometimes they die. Does this solution work for all years?? Reports of this NOT working on post 2017 models...

    F3T Belt Tensioner failure - anyone else?

    By the wear pattern, it is "obvious" that the idler was left loose after your recent service. The idler was moving and dragged into the belt which melted the arm and destroyed the roller. I would take it back to the dealer and demand a new replacement and a belt inspection to check for damage.

    2021 F3 Limited Horn upgrade

    I installed a set of goldwing horns in the cavern under the frunk liner. Got them for less than $20 off eBay. Had great result with that. One must be aware that the OEM horn is switched by the ground wire, the hot +12v is always hot with the bike on or off. I'm showing the necessary circuit...

    Good deal on rear tire replacement

    Well, I'm in the 9000 mile group. Tire was showing cords (Kenda) and rear OEM pads were nearly gone, so much so that I had a heck of a time getting the rear piston started onto the threads! I'm not hard on bikes. OEM stuff is junk! Got EBC pads from Ron. Here is Ron's rear set after 24k-9k =...

    What size Airhawk cushion for 2016 F3L front and back. Do they work well?

    Think I got you beat. ;)Bought my air hawk at @Daytona Bike Week in 1997. Has served me well for 24 years. You are correct about inflation. Just a little bit. The actual trick to using them for long rides is to run with one until you stop for gas. Take it off and store it in your bag until the...

    F3 Valve stems too short for TPMS! Help!!

    It is really very rare to get a puncture on a "leading" tire because it's rare that a screw or nail will be poised to strike. What happens most is the front tire will hit a laying object and kick it up so it will puncture the rear tire. Old timer storied the rear tire happenstance. Since the...

    18 F3L- What is the cover called to the right of the pully cover?

    Black one costs $309. Painting over chrome especially plastic never really goes well. You can sell the chrome one.

    Hesitation from stop

    Hill hold? My '16 T will roll back or forward on an incline in 1st without the brake. Best to start the bike then put on your gear then get on the bike and ride. Should be warm enough.
