• 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.

    To Get Valves Adjusted or Not on 998?

    why valves out of spec can cause damage My hat off to you sir; you have nailed this issue. Many will not pay $800 on the hopes their machine will have been right from the assembly line and the valve seat material is holding up to and beyond the service interval. I get that; $800 ain't chicken...

    Must Have Tools for F3

    tool kit I may have overlooked this item in others' posts prior, but I always carry a set of decent jumper cables. The size 400 ones that Bubba carries in the bed of his lifted diesel pick-up ain't gonna do you much good if all you need is a jump.

    RT Muffler on a F3

    reason? Others may differ, but I find the shortness of the stock muffler on the F3-S to contribute to: 1. more perceived noise from the passenger's seat 2. more noise in general than my RT was 3. perhaps a little more heat on the passenger's leg YMMV
