• 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.

    Anyone installed a Sirius XM radio receiver on their RT? Any hints?

    As Racoon did, I researched your claim. I did this because when I ride in upstate NY, I frequently lose cell reception, so no GPS, no XM radio, etc. My cell phone is rendered useless. I found that there are only 6 phones that switch to satellite signals (iPhones 14, 15, 16, 16W series, Google...

    Is it possible that BRP Corporate records on the Sprocket Recall have not been updated?

    $15K for a 2017 is overpriced. I found these at Team Mancuso Powersports at 9650 North Fwy, Houston, TX 77037, about a half-hour from you. Both are 2022's and in the $15k range. I am sure if you search you'll find similar priced newer F3's. Good Luck -

    Does anyone have any OEM Part #'s for trailer harnesses? Or know of an A/mkt shop to order from?

    I converted my 2014 BRP connection (it was the round connection) to a 4 pin. This is the color-coded wiring attached to the hitch cable. Hope it helps.

    Anyone know of a Seat protector for 2024 Sea to Sky to prevent scratches, but still allow heat?

    I don't use a seat protector, but has he tried stepping on the passenger footrest than stepping over the seat? It gives you a few more inches of height. I get on my ride on the left side, putting my left leg on the passenger footrest, then raising my right leg over the seat.

    Probably a stupid idea - thinking I might go from a 2018 F3 Ltd to an RTL S2S - am I crazy and should just keep what I have?

    I don't think it's a stupid idea. Why not treat yourself to the newest? I did that in 2023, trading my 2014 RTL with 60K+ miles for a leftover 2022 RTL. Instead of installing additional lights, trailer hitch, etc. I had the dealer do it all at once. I have since installed wiring for heated gear...

    Deer collision - safer on a Spyder? Thoughts? Or first-hand accounts?

    On 9/11/2025, I was on a ride with my sweetheart. We were traveling on a road in an exclusive area that had recently installed speed bumps. I slowed for them so was traveling about 20 mph. A truck pulled out from a side street, and I could not see the speed bumps, so I slowed more. The truck...

    Anyone know who makes highway pegs that work with OEM Floorboard lights on 2022 S2S?

    I haven't found any that can be mounted with the floorboard lights since they use the same mounting holes. So, the Showchrome and Lamonster pegs (which show 'no good' in red on the description page) that were mentioned cannot be installed.

    2014 RT Limited Struggling on Starting, then the display goes to vertical lines! Could this be the battery going bad already?

    I disagree with the tech, if you ride frequently, keeping your ride on a battery tender is not necessary. To date I have not had a battery issue. Here is my story: I used to keep my rides on a battery tender whenever she was resting. Since 2023, I live where I must park outside with no access...

    Anyone know what these things on the front wheels are?

    I had a set as well. As @NorwegianRT said, they ate batteries like they were starving. I moved to the next generation that came with rechargeable batteries that were re-charged by the spinning of the wheels. Mine never worked very well. GloRyder went out of business about a year or 2 ago,

    2014 RT - Not Limited. Were Heated Seats available?

    Yes they were. You could also get a heated seat from Ultimate seats.

    Anyone found or come up with something to keep the contents in those annoying side load saddle bags?

    I use a tupperware box and a ziplock bag. I have a cover in the other saddlebag and rain gear in the frunk.

    Latest BRP Safety Bulletins for Shaft Replacement (2019-12) and Shaft & Sprocket Replacement (2019-13) Recalls - Jan 2025

    You are correct. My friend had that same issue and he replaced the shaft himself.

    I want to add marker/turn lights to my RT - any kits besides these? Or DIY setups?

    On my 2014 RTL, I used the Tricled product for 60K+ miles with no problems.
