• 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.

Checking oil on F3... How tricky it can be?

More confusion? If this is for real "Let the engine idle for at least 20 seconds, up to 10 minutes" that would make checking much easier if we only wait 20 seconds. However, apparently letting it idle for 11 minutes will cause a mis-read of some type? :eek::ROFLMAO:


It won't, but instead of worrying about it and rehashing all the discussion, you could just do what the majority of the rest of us do, which @BLUEKNIGHT911 posted it in post #2, and only check your oil immediately AFTER a ride of at least 10 minutes! If you pull in from a ride, then stop the Spyder, let it idle for a few seconds, then the engine off & simply get off, take off your helmet & gloves etc, and check the oil then, without too much faffing around along the way, you will've satisfied all the necessary. Then, when you come out to ride next time, if there isn't a dirty great puddle of oil underneath it, you KNOW you're good to go. (y)

Simples really! Just don't sweat the small stuff, or let the notoriously poorly worded/even worse proof read user manual confuse you. ;)
