• 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.

    Any easy way of Searching for active FM channels while driving?

    I have a 2022 F3T and have watched a number of you tube videos but cannot find an easy way to search for stations. When traveling a distance I need to find channels which are active in the area I am in. There must be an easy way to do this. Thanks in advance for your assistance. johnv

    Is your F4 Customs Windshield any better than Stock? For Pillion too?

    Check out the windshields from 7jurock. I have had one on my last bike and am ordering one for the new bike. They are all priced around $220. I had one made to my custom specifications, wider than normal and they have the lip at the top and work very well, at about 1/2 the price. johnv

    Right saddle bag on '20 F3 Ltd will not latch - any videos on adjusting?

    Just a thought, check the latches on the bag and make sure they are open to receive the pins on the cover. Happens to me frequently. johnv

    Any inherent issues with a 2023 F3L ??

    I am in the process of updating my 2016 F3L to a 2023 F3L and am wondering if there are any gotchas with the newer model ?? I do not believe I can use my USB stick for music, and am wondering if I use an MP3 player in the glovebox if it will also charge?. Damn that USB stick for music was sure...

    Will using the Position #3 brake rod in Position #4 lower the brake pedal?

    Keep in mind that if you are currently using a #3 rod, then Lamonster's #3 rod will lower the pedal substantially. His rods are made to lower the brake pedal using the same floorboard position.

    Any opinions on New Rear Tire Costs?

    I just purchased 2 front Vredenstein Quatracs for my 2016 F3L for $111.82 apiece and then my dealer mounted and balanced them for 1 hour ($120) total labor for both. I would think you should look for another dealer. The Kendas leave a lot to be desired, and I cannot believe he is selling them...

    Setting belt tension - anyone converted 160lbs to newtons & used that?

    From an earlier post "Torque is the measurement of rotational force. No rotational force in belt tension. The BRP spec is N (newtons, force) not N-M (newton meters, torque)."

    Setting belt tension - anyone converted 160lbs to newtons & used that?

    The current spec states newtons, not newton meters, so I converted to lbs instead of foot lbs. I believe that this is the proper conversion. the current spec of 750 meters if calculated as newton meters would be 553 foot lbs, way too high for belt tension. johnv

    Setting belt tension - anyone converted 160lbs to newtons & used that?

    I know the consensus is to set belt tension to 160lbs with the wheel on the ground. Has anyone converted that to newtons, approximately 710n, and set the tension with the wheel on the ground to that tension? Thanks johnv

    Front Sprocket Correction at Dealership

    I have an appointment in April for a full service and sprocket replacement, my dealer got an order of them in about 3 weeks ago. If your shop said they put the new sprocket in last year I would suspect that they put in the temporary one and would clear it with the shop.
