• 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.

    '21 F3 belt tensioner - why is it on top?

    I would say that the stress on the belt is not what would be the result of being "driven" by the front pulley but "driven" from the rear wheel. But hey! If it works...

    splash guards on my 2020 limited, in front of floor boards

    I had to move mine (2016). Not a problem tho. Put them back because u do need them for airflow control (your pant legs will ride up your leg quickly) and road debris. You've never been caught in a surprise rain storm in NE PA? Pretty sure you don't want fresh road kill staining your pants. :bdh:

    Anyone tried these F3 Emblem Covers?

    I haven't checked yet but I orderded a set a few years ago. And didn't get a big for the front & big for the rear on f3T. When I inquired they seemed surprised but sent me a big right away. Same for lamonster but they weren't helpful so I've got a wrap on the frunk and lamonster chrome on the tail!

    My Spyder F3 broke down on the road today

    Good to have towing on your insurance. It will pay for itself for years even if you only use it once. Another insurance hint told to me by my lawyer. Buy as much underinsured/uninsured coverage you can buy. It's only about $40 a year for $250K! I had to sue my own insurance company to get the...

    Brake lever position - do I need a longer brake rod to move it?

    I just drilled an extra hole in my clevis to adjust the pedal lower. You can make minor adjustments using washers under the rubber. Might need longer M6 bolts for that.

    Michelin Cross- Climate tyres front

    You need to experiment within the parameters. Most recommend (notably Baja Ron) recommend starting out at @ 16 PSI and I always ran my Krappy Kendas within the range 15 - 17. When I got the Toyos, I found I needed to run them @ 19 - 20. Less and they were too compliant and I got the Kenda hunt...

    On removing the side panels. Take the pins out first. Drop a Philips screwdriver in the center hole. Remove the 4 screws. Pull the screwdriver and the panel. Install is the reverse.

    '21 F3 belt tensioner - why is it on top?

    For info on setting your belt tension and alignment. I'm guilty as charged for calling it a belt tensioner and not a vibration damper but technically it's called an IDLER.
