• 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.

    Can you slip shift an sm6?

    I have a friend who wants to get a '15 F3 - S which is an SM6. He asked me of you can shift it without using the clutch. I have no idea because I have an SE6. But, both me and that old timer have slip shifted bikes without the clutch for decades. Take it up the the proper RPM and close the...

    Is there a way to defeat hyperflash 2018+ other than a resistor

    Putting a resistor across the + & - wires seems to negate the voltage savings of an LED. Asking for a friend...:D

    LED 1156 bulbs in rear signals on an F3-T & Ltd (bag fixtures) No Hyperflash

    Putting LED 1156 bulbs in rear signals on an F3t & Ltd (bag fixtures) without pissing off the CANBUS. The LEDs are about 50% brighter than the OEM incandescent. I used amber from Amazon. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VZZJ1NK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They have...

    Checking the inner brake pads on F3T & F3LTD

    Everything is in the way. Brake caliper from the bottom and rear. Muffler. Brake cables, bag & swing arm. Grrrr. Not able to crawl around on the ground any longer, getting a good look at the inner pads was a pain! I finally managed to use a GoPro on a selfie stick to capture this photo of the...

    Don't get the impression that the Toyo Proxes T 185/55 tires will impair your riding.

    I've seen a few posts where folks may have misinterpreted my post about the ToyoProxes T 185/55-15 tires. was my quote. Now, I don't want you to think these tires upset the nanny because they DON'T! I have yet to have the nanny interrupt my fun with the Kendas or these Toyo tires. They...

    Toyo Proxes T 185/55-15 up front - I'm in love! :yes:

    :yes: These Toyo Proxes T 185/55-15 tires go where you point them. Sounds odd, right? Well, compared to the Krappy Kendas this bike ships with, it isn't odd. With their checkerboard tread pattern, the Kenda would go everywhere, especially when you needed to brake quickly. If you got on a road...

    aPple devices for audio

    I despise anything Apple. Period. They do everything for you, but what that does is wrest all control FROM you. The proliferation of cars that only interface appreciably with Apple devices is ubiquitous. Case in point. Both my spouselings Honda car and my Spyder will only work with iPhones or...

    excreen $40 Moparty clone report.

    First of all, this 280MM (11 inch) Moparty extender >click here< arrived on Monday in one day from Amazon. I installed it and went for a ride. I could not believe it worked so good! It was 55° and sunny and dead calm. I thought the fact that it was dead calm is why I was getting no wind AT ALL...

    I got an iPod touch 5th gen and I'm glad I did! Bye nano

    Joined apple music to get the family plan for my clan. 3 month free trial 12 devices. My iPod nano was not compatible with Apple Music. Only the Touch 5th gen or later iPhones. Got one off eBay for $50 wifi only. Got it all set up and went for a nice ride. WOW! What a difference in sound. The...

    My response to the "not covered under warranty" defective BuRP Signature light.

    My response to the "not covered under warranty" defective BuRP Signature light. If you are familiar, I bought a BuRP ($180) Signature light when I got my F3 and it developed a few dark sections in it before 90 days. I took it to Johnny K's for warranty. "Oh, we don't warranty lights." Um, so...

    F3 T, does one need to remove a bag in order to pull the rear wheel?

    EOM Kenda lasted less than 13K which sucks and I ain't puttin on another one. I watched a you tube video about pulling the rear wheel, but that was an F3 (not T). Curious if one needs to pull the OEM saddlebag in order to pull the axle and release the rear wheel. I would try it, but I'm on the...

    F3 Signature Light, Nice, but don't buy!

    Last March when I got my F3-t, I bought a Signature Light and liked it. Very visible. It was $175.00 with tax. Last in July, half of it burned out. No warranty apparently. Dealer says "Tough luck, bulbs are a 'wear item' so too bad." Yup I 'rented' the light for $10 a month. BRP and especially...

    Third pegs for about $20

    Here's my $20 third pegs. Using BMX rear axle stunt pegs and some hardware from Ace, this is a good alternative or to just test to see if you would like to spring for the expensive ones. These do relieve the cramps that one gets from riding in the same position for hours. For some, it...

    BajaRon sway bar install details on a '16 F3-T

    The instructions for the F3-T that came with the bar, though much better than most others, got a C+ grade. Why? Totally missing were: (a) remove the rain guard completely - four T25 and a Phillips body clip; (b) remove a SECOND 10mm bolt and nut with a sleeve in the frame as well as the one that...

    Jacking points for the F3

    I searched this board for jacking points yesterday because I'm doing my 3K inspection and oil change. I found many references to the A arms and rear shock with admonishments to NEVER USE EITHER. One fellow said that he put the front wheels on ramps and jacked the rear with the shock tower. He...
