• 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.

How many amps?

How many amps are the aux power outs on a 2010 Can-Am RT-S rated for? I like to carry a small compressor for tire situations. The one I have is 15A / 180w max. I had two outs on my GL1500 trike; one factory and one a cigarette lighter connected (fused) direct to the battery. The OEM out was 3A max and I guess meant for small electronics. The compressor worked fine off the other added cigarette lighter type outlet which had very heavy wiring. If the outlets on the Can-Am are not rated at or above 15A, does anyone carry/use a small tire inflating compressor?
 
I have a Battery tender wire in my frunk connected direct to the battery with 20 amp inline fuse
I plug my 12v compressor into that
 
I am bringing a new to me 2010 RT-S home Tuesday and won't have time to connect something like that and
that is the reason I am asking about the on-board outlets. You can't be sure of the tire condition. The bike
has about 3K miles and all service has supposedly been done but I don't really trust what I am being told so
would like to make sure I have some way of attending to tire issues and will change oil as soon as I get it home.

UPDATE! Owners Manual says the outlet is 3A.
