• 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.

    Front Pulley R&R - can it be done without loosening belt tension?

    Respectfully ... I have an F3T and didn't have a problem that I would call "impossible" in removing the rear wheel for a tire change @ 13k. Very easy once it's jacked up. And, to remove the rear wheel, one must first remove the belt. Setting the tension with a krikit II (2) as per my linked...

    F3 or F3 S - auto or manual?

    I did not know that. Bear in mind, there are so many changes year to year on these bikes that it's near impossible to keep up. One should always edit one's signature to include the current model and year of your bike in it. It's at the "settings" link at the top of every page next to your name...

    2017 F3S - will it get vibrations? Does it have a belt tensioner?

    I may be mistaken, but 2020-21 F3s & RTs come with a beefed up sprocket and 2021 RTs come with an idler. Part numbers below. 705503239 new 28 tooth 705502134 old 28 tooth Idler Pulley RT 705503291

    Front Pulley R&R - can it be done without loosening belt tension?

    Can't read the last sentence at the image resolution displayed. It says that sprocket has been updated so that it is stronger simply put.

    Just asking. Did you get a semi auto or manual?

    Front Pulley R&R - can it be done without loosening belt tension?

    I suggest you watch the video and pay attention to the comments he makes. I stated the "other" method of loosening the belt tension as an alterative. Pulling the rear shock bolt after jacking the bike will loosen the belt sufficiently to just move it off the pulley without much effort at all.

    Front Pulley R&R - can it be done without loosening belt tension?

    How's your rear tire? Maybe doing that will "release" the belt. I respectfully disagree with PMK. It's rather easy to loosen the tension of the belt with the "belt tensioner" bolts, like one should do when changing the rear tire. Jack up the bike and the belt should just slip off, no walking...

    F3 or F3 S - auto or manual?

    I do NOT miss shifting and a clutch lever. I do NOT miss putting my foot down at every stop. you still control when it upshifts, but you only press a thumb paddle. You have COMPLETE control of upshifting. Down shifting is automatic unless you intervene with your finger paddle. Get an SE6.

    Any F3(S) owners here using the BRP chopped rear fender kit?

    For the F3t, I can remove the mudguard to get a "Bobbed" fender look. To ease the horrid BRP design, I have cut all the pins off with dykes then taped the guard in place and drilled holes for #8 black screws. Using a slow speed screwdriver it's very easy to R&R the piece and it also makes the...

    Is anyone using Pedalbox?

    That's not where the google took me ;). THX. Looks to be the same as the Pedal Commander from Sling Mods. What it does is tell your bike the throttle has been twisted "more" than physically it has been. The other end of the throttle is dead space. 1/4 turn is a half turn etc. If you turn it...

    Air ride bladder losing air pressure - help?

    Make sure your Schrader valve innards are tight. If you don't have a tool for that, get some caps with the tool at any Walmart. In fact, make sure your fill valve (under the seat) has a good cap with an oring in it to seal it. Same source for those at any Walmart. I got a simple tiny 12v air...

    Handlebars Adjustment?

    Yes you can. Just loosen and move. However, with the T putting them forward will block your mirrors from view by the switch clusters. My solution to that was add Bar End Mirrors. Details at link in my sig.
