• 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.

    RT rescued from graveyard

    It's quite interesting you've mentioned it. When I've started documenting my progress with spyder I've actually had two goals: share some knowledge on forum which helps me very much with my work and practise my english :). I'm used to listening and reading everything in english: podcasts...

    Thanks :). I have spare time now because of winter in Poland. And I made so many errors when doing similar stuff that I'm immune to failures ;).

    The case open warning does not show when the down button is held down. Thank you for explenation. I missed that part - don't know why. And I assumed light were showing open cases all the time. Sorry for misunderstanding. This would mean that cocpit can recognize state when up is pressed and...

    Thanks, I will try that today. [EDIT] After your post I've found many videos about that on YT. Thanks :) [EDIT2] Not I've found out that this will not work on PP parts, which are mostly used as structural parts not exposed to debris from road. Acetone does not dissolve PP. At least it works...

    I've started on fixing plastic parts. So many of them are broken and I need to "weld" them. This is first time I'm doing plastic welding so this should be fun. I've started with test part from my wife's scooter. First I used hand-held soldering iron. To penetrate two pieces and mix melted...

    Thank you so much for checking. This means that case resistors are used while compressor switch is used and shematics might be wrong. Connections according to state and final resistance in schematics: FREE - 2-3. Resistance 1500 Ohm UP - 2-3, 6-5. Resistance 1/1500 Ohm + 1/825 Ohm = 1/X ->...

    I'm sorry, I've forgot to mention most important thing. It is 2011. It is slightlu different than 2010. On 2011 there is one resistor for all case switches. I've tried to find datasheet for compressor switch based on numbers but it seems it is special production batch (starts with VXD).

    I've modified mounts for standard radio to accomodate new amplifier. With heated knife I've cut gaps in this big plastic part from under seat to slide amplifier's mounting plate in. With straps and additional screw it holds very tightly. I have a small favour for someone with automatic rear...

    I've started working on cargo harness. It is a little bit tough not to mess up proper placing of connectors. I've added cables to connect additional blinkers on each side of cargo lid. I don't know how blinking frequency will be affected when additional parallel led light will be introduced...

    New item installed (20$). Hawing only on/off sensor for oil pressure is not enough for me and I need to fill empty space after I douldn't find coolant temperature gauge. I've installed pressure gauge used on old tractors. It idicated almost 5 bar - quite a lot. Thread in engine case is M10 x 1...

    I appreciate your help, it allows me to have better understanding of the system. Having some space for radio is my biggest issue. I don't see any place to do that, especially if radio will be with built-in amplifier. Also, branded marine radio is usually quite expensive and this is another...

    I'm in struggle here. I have option to buy used radio but it will be more expensive than new branded marine radio. And I don't have radio controller for passenger. And oem radio only has ... radio, right? Marine solutions have already built-in options to use bluetooth, usb, spotify etc. But, no...

    2014RT - Anyone install a front trunk release by a solenoid?

    The ones used in 2011 RT are CARLING switches. They are like 5$. Just don't buy oem's. BRP is basically rebranding everything they got beside frame (which was **** for older MY). Can am should be named BOSCHo-ROTAX ;).

    Thank you, I couldn't figure out what it is. That is exactly ground for antenna as seen on "Electrical Accessories 3" schematics in parts catalogue. I don't have antenna though, or radio. All lost. I have CB module and I don't know what to do with it :P. I will probably use one of round marine...

    Caster/camber angle

    It is general approach all over the world, especially in europe. When I look at gov regulations it is obvious that it's not common to make/fix your stuff. For example, there is no possibility in many countries to register diy vehicle. Why? I have no idea. Another example is that normally you...

    Belt tension could be checked with something as simple as fishing scale. According to someone from the forum 4,5kg should cause deflection of 18mm at center of the belt. I've painted my steering rods which were fabricated from steel precision pipe and parts made for can am outlander G2. Cost...

    I've drilled off center hole in aluminum block to put it with bolt inside the hole in lathe. New sleeve for a-arms with 10mm ID. This is already on my bike. Bolt M14 after is drilled on lathe with M10 drill it is cut as described before.

    I've finished bleeding brakes. I tried twice because first time, even with buds and vacuum it wasn't successful. I've forgot to unbolt front brake calipers and put them so that bleeder is above brake lines. With that approach buds was not needed for removing air from lines. I've checked BLS and...

    Yes, steering sensor is a must for ESC (electronic stability control) but I'm not sure for what exact purpose. ESC is not limiting engine torque and yaw rate and XY acceleration is used from another sensor. There is a document publicly available for Bosch M4 abs describing how whole system works...
