• 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.

    The first service. New Owner

    Hey, it's not my issue if your dealer can't accomplish your service for a reasonable price. If you can't get an oil change done for less than 140, something is seriously wrong. Are they charging you to watch the oil drain? Sorry you feel the way you do, but until you know my dealer, and their...

    The first service. New Owner

    My first service was around 140. If you are comfortable with it, change your own oil. With the new panels it's pretty easy. Search for posts on oil, there are many. The oil change intervals are ridiculous. I'm convinced there is no oil that will last 4600 miles in this engine and still protect...

    CASTROL POWER RS RACING 4T SYNTHETIC 10W50

    Nope, it will most likely shear even faster than a 10w40. In 2000 miles, my 10w40 was already a 30 weight verified by Schaeffer Labs in Saint Louis. It was changed. Wide spreads between the low and high numbers usually ( and I say usually because there are exceptions) shear faster because they...

    Very disapointed with BRP and their product!

    ^^^^^^ This... every word of it is true....^^^^^^ You had a scoot that didn't run, now it does, and was fixed under warranty. There are bigger fish to fry.

    Oil Amount

    THIS^^^^^ I just changed mine last weekend. New semi synthetic oil, both filters, 39.00. 4 quarts on the nose.

    Rotella T6 full synthetic 5-40

    Nope, you are fine. But after 2k, the oil has probably sheared to a 30 weight. As long as you are reading the bottle, take note that Rotella is JASO MA, which is fine for your Yammies clutch. Run the 15w40 next time, it's a little better at staying in grade.

    AMSOIL or BRP oil

    Way off topic here, but I've seen the same thing in my 6.0 Powerstroke. I switched to Rotella T5 long ago, 10w30. It goes in a 30, and comes out a 30 4000 miles later. The HPOP and injectors ruin the oil in the Powerstroke... You are correct sir, the wider the spread in the numbers, generally...

    AMSOIL or BRP oil

    I'm fortunate to have a local distributor in Saint Louis that is as crazy as I am about lubrication. Brad-Penn, Elf, Motul, and Total are a few of his products. And I agree most likely the BP will be a 30 weight in another 2k. I did run BP in my ST1300 for 4k one time, and it was only down to a...

    AMSOIL or BRP oil

    I changed oil today... The report came back from the lab, and indicated that the Liqui-Moly oil I used ( a very good semi-synthetic German oil), 10w40, had sheared to a 30 weight in 2000 miles. So it's out of there, and a new fill of Brad-Penn V2 10w40 went in for this run. Info on Brad-Penn is...

    Transmission Filter and "O" ring

    Curiousity piqued, I went to the dealer today and looked into the kit. New deeper cover, o-ring, and longer filter, 8.99 . I got my 10% good customer discount, so it was less than 9.00 even with tax.

    New owner to be question

    I went from a Honda ST1300 to a 2012 RT-S. And yes, I did regret it ................... FOR ABOUT THE FIRST 2 MINUTES.... :roflblack: Seriously, it is a much different experience, but one that I was ready for. The Spyder has more "road presence" and I've noticed fewer stupid moves by cagers...

    ready to winterize

    Stabil, then top off. Ride enough to make sure the treated fuel is through the whole system. Change oil and filters, wash, dry, wax. Plug the battery into the Tender, and sleep until spring.

    In Thirteen years

    13 years is a long time for many breeds. You were blessed. It's never easy though. Sorry for your loss.

    Transmission Filter and "O" ring

    I missed him wanting the longer filter. HiFlo does have the original transmission filter available, HF559. And that is still what I use, with the short cover. Works fine, the oil will be toast before the filter is loaded with dirt.

    Transmission Filter and "O" ring

    Amazon, Powersport Superstore, or OEMcycle.com. I use the Hi-Flo brand.
