• 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.

    Clutch recall problems and how to fix

    Jeff, like the other guys say, we could sure use more of you! I do have a question, after the clutch recall it seems like there is now a noticeable pause when shifting up. Is this a result of the recall? It's kinda anoyying. Thanks Dwight

    My three favorite RT mods

    Lamont, I'm going to order new springs for my Elkas. Our two up riding weight will be about 350lbs, no luggage. My current springs are Red and with two inches of preload still too soft. My guess is they are the 250lb springs. Do you think the 300lb springs will be about right for us? I am...

    Redesigned RT Shocks

    Absolutely agree with you, Scotty. They replaced my rear shock with the new and improved version under warranty (second replacement). They should do this for the front shocks also. Dwight

    Elka FYI on springs

    I just went and measured the springs on my Elka's, 8 1/4 inches sitting on the ground, no luggage, no riders. This still isn't enough preload, it rolls over too easy. Most of our riding is two up, probably 90%. Looks like I'm gonna need the 300lb springs. When I ordered the Elka's I gave them a...

    Elka Stage 1+'s commeth.

    Thanks Lamont, I certainly appreciate the tips on the Elka's. Even though I provided weights for my application I'm pretty sure they didn't supply the right spring. I have added about (not exactly sure) 8 turns of preload and it seems much better. I never thought to measure compressed length...

    Rear shock absorber question.

    reconscout, You may be right. The new shock they installed on mine was the result of a conversation with Kurt and Carlo at the Chicago owners doins. Kurt told me he would send my dealer a new shock that was "better" than the oe stuff. So far it appears that it is, even the SO commented on the...

    Ipod screen

    Is it possible to keep the Ipod screen up all of the time you are using it? I would like to see the name and artist of the songs playing. Now it justs shows the first one when you turn the Ipod on then the screen disappears. Thanks Dwight

    Rear shock absorber question.

    They have a new "better" shock that they are using now. I just had one installed several weeks ago, much better but the question now is how long will it last? Dwight

    Should I 'upgrade' from an SM5 GS to an SE5 RT A/C?

    This late in the year, it just makes sense to wait for the 11. Dwight

    Trading RT's

    BHawksworth You have my sympathies, I know what you've gone thru. Our's has been back 6 times for warranty work. When I had my conversation with Kurt and Carlo at the owners meeting in Chicago I told them I could overlook everything that had gone wrong (and been fixed) with my RT-S except the...

    Parking Brake Problem - Resolved

    Those are all good ideas for the fix. The problem with mine was the plastic ears that hold the barrell were worn nearly away. The fix for mine was a new pulley, that means in another few thousand miles it will need replaced again. Dwight

    Verdict is in... Sway Bar ROCKS!!

    So this bar is for the RS right? The new bar I got from Evo for the RT was the exact same size as the stock bar. They sent new bushings and clamps (the clamps wouldn't fit, used the stock ones, also the stock bushings will work). The only difference in the Evo bar was the holes that you use to...

    GPS sounds through headset?

    I spent the money and bought the CB and all of the cords. I'll probably never use the CB. The GPS does work thru the headphones ( bought the headphones from J and M). Just another one of those "things"! Dwight

    Took the canister out and have the wrong bolt in the shift rod

    RT-S se, my shift lever fell off going from Cleveland to N Canton Ohio. It was hanging by the actuator rod with the pinch bolt still in it. Pinch bolt was tight, either they used the wrong bolt or it wasn't installed right. Just another one of those "things" that has happened to me. Good...

    Rear Suspension problems

    Len, Quite a few of us have had this problem. It took replacement of the fitting, air bag, and air manifold to fix mine. They have replaced my stock shock once, and after a conversation in Chicago with one of the head techs, they are sending my dealer a new shock (better) to replace the one...

    Sent the RTS packing

    raptor01, The clutch recall (I actually haven't had too many problems with my clutch) will be the 5th time my RT will be in the shop for warranty work. I haven't decided how long I will keep it but it will be gone before the warranty runs out. After a long conversation with BRP techs (and...

    HID & Sway bar advice needed...

    dave01 & IWN2RYD I have the EVO sway bar on my RT. Noticeable improvement riding single, not so much double. It appears to be same as stock bar with the arm attachment holes located closer to body of bar. Exact same diameter (.625) as stock. IMHO riding double will require a bar of larger...

    Testing the traction and vss

    2manycars, If your VSS and Traction control don't work, would you be interested in trading for my RT-S?:roflblack: Seriously, I don't know how to test it but I do know that you can spin the rear tire up to about 30mph from a dead stop before the TC will kick in:D Also a quick 90 degree turn from...
