• 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.

    Handle bars get hot

    I have a 2017 RT, had a 2011 before. It seems like the 17 handle bars and key get awful hot. They’re black, and the 11 had grey handle bars. At forest I thought I had the grip heater on by mistake. Has anyone else noticed this ? It’s been hot out, but I’ve rode the 11 in hot weather, and never...

    2017 RT S6 starting question

    Well, I finally pulled the trigger and traded 2011 for new 2017. I love the automatic, and no right foot heat. When I bought it, the salesman took me back to meet the maintenance guy. I was asking him about shifting, and other things, and the one thing he told me twice, was to never shut off...

    Battery change question

    I’m going to have to change my battery soon. Is there anything special I have to do once I hook it back up, before I start it, like set anything, hold buttons to reset anything ? Or will everything reset once it’s started ? Thanks

    Front tires question

    I’ve got a 2011 RT so it’s got the 14” tires. I see a lot on here about 15” tires, did a search and didn’t see much about the 14”. I went to about 5 tire dealers today. Not one had a tire that would work according to them. Pep Boys had one that was same size, but rating was wrong. Not a single...

    deflectors

    Little dodads I took them off a coupla years ago, for a summer. They appear to me to shield the air from hitting your hands. Didn’t help very much. I put them back on when it got cooler, hands got cold. I got a set of adjustable shields under the mirrors from dealer, that I love.

One thing you have to watch for, there’s a spring behind the piston, in order to get piston out you have to pump clutch lever a little bit. You can watch it come out each time. At a certain point the spring takes over and it...
