• 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.

    Sounds like marbles

    Have to agree,noisy motor and little bit jerky clutch for first few minutes seem to be normal.Clutch not adjustable anyway.Earplugs will fix the noise issue and make over ride more enjoyable.

    A remarkable discovery ..... Front suspension upgrade

    I ride 2 up all the time and have always felt that it was fairly smooth when loaded with luggage on my 17 rtl.My complaint is I feel it sways too much on turns and is easy to upset or lose its line if the road isnt perfectly smooth or if you have to make a correction in the middle of a turn.I...

    P0340 Replacing camshaft Position Sensor

    I did mine a couple weeks ago,just pull panels like you were gonna change oil and you will see sensor hiding behind oil filter housing.Its got a 10mm screw holding it in,you may need a kid to help you bc its a tight area.I left the plug on the sensor until it was free from the eng bc it seemed...

    Strange sound at certain speeds...

    Ive heard some strange pulsating/whining noises from my RT as well.This motor has the loudest mechanical noises of any motor Ive had.When wearing my helmet and cruising its pretty much in the background.I think thats just how they are.

    Another windshield question

    Okay,I did look at #37 and also #11 which was a clear 25" shield with vent,but my thing with all these shields is that they are 4" wider than stock and they seem to carry that extra width higher up.Its like the Factory shield is shaped like a triangle and the F4,s are more squareish.I like the...

    Another windshield question

    So I just got back from a 3 day trip of 1000 miles.It was very hot as all my trip seem to be and I think maybe its time to do something about the lack of airflow when on the highway with the shield up.Its a stock shield and its a perfect height for me,Im 6,2 and can see over or thru if I like.On...

    I just saw this thread and thought theres something I know about.I have been a transmission rebuilder for over 30 years.Heres my opinon as to why BRP says BUDS is needed.What is going on inside .When a shift is ordered by TCM a solenoid opens to allow fluid to flow into a piston that pushes the...

    Understeering in curves

    I've got Vredsteins up front and I can definitely feel and hear them howling and sliding on hard turns. It's not much but more than my Kendas did. I'm running my pressure at 18 up front and I think if I raised it a little it probably would help but since its only on very hard turns I'll leave it...
