• 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.

    Do the 2021 RT Ltd's have a belt idler? If not, which one fits? Best?

    First I've heard of belt alignment. How did you check and adjust it? If belt is fully seated in each pulley isn't that perfect alignment?

    Do the 2021 RT Ltd's have a belt idler? If not, which one fits? Best?

    Very informative. I do spend some time on interstates out of necessity 75-80. With 700 miles so far I'll have to notice specifically next time I'm out. With a new machine it is hard to know what is normal or not. My dealer suggests that if I add the idler when they add the updated pulley then...

    Do the 2021 RT Ltd's have a belt idler? If not, which one fits? Best?

    How difficult was the removal of panels on left side if you did it yourself? I watched a video and the steps here but not sure I want to get into that. I did remove right side to wire my GPS and that wasn't bad but the left side seems a different animal. I have an RT June '20 build and it...

    Ok, I had my head too far forward. Looking down the top of the belt I don't see one.

    I watched Lamonster video again so think I can look up there and at least feel the roller if not the attachment.

    I could see all the way to front pulley but something blocking the view where the idler would be on the top of belt.

    Do the 2021 RT Ltd's have a belt idler? If not, which one fits? Best?

    Watched the video so I had idea of location, seemed a little daunting getting there.. Install very simple once you're there. Still wondering if it's possible to see without removing anything, some here said they knew they had it so wondering where/how they looked. I'm getting the revised front...

    Do the 2021 RT Ltd's have a belt idler? If not, which one fits? Best?

    Got down on the floor with a flashlight and looked at my belt but could not see the area where I think the idler would be installed. As SpyderSteven said its hidden by the plastic shield and not sure that comes off without first taking off the other tupperware. Mine is an early '21 produced in...

    Anyone got part #'s for New Front Pulley, bolt, & the torque specs?

    From a member here: BRP has a new front drive sprocket. Looking at the parts list from BRP I found that they changed the front sprocket for the RT and F3 built after September of 2020. The new sprocket part number is 705503239 and list price is $114.99. Bolt is 250001017 (I think, hard to...

    Do the 2021 RT Ltd's have a belt idler? If not, which one fits? Best?

    Did you install yourself, difficult? What was the result? Didn't you also do front tires and maybe the front sprocket update? Results of those? Getting my sprocket on next week on my early '21. Not sure what else I want to to. 700 miles so far, got the whine at 45-50, seems to track ok but don't...

    First Service Done

    Anticipating my 3,000 mile for the RT later in May and maybe changing front tires to Q-5s. So far with 700 miles I'm not seeing issues but nothing to compare to. Shop will be updating the front sprocket next week and doing the mirror service bulletin work. According to Tire Size Calculator the...

    Not sure I understand. What is the ACS check valve? Does that apply to a 2021 RT.

    thinking about cross country ride?

    Agree on that. My last 270 mile yielded 52 mpg average moving speed and 50 mph total mph including several breaks. Combination country roads and a bit of 75 mph interstate.

    Need advice for getting wiring to power plate on s2s

    I just wired my Garmin XT on the right side using the videos here and it wasn’t that bad. I used the posi-tab for the connection thus leaving original connector in one piece. Just follow the directions on the panels.
