• 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 failing?

    My 2008 gs se5 has been acting strange. It seems to have a "hick up" when it starts moving. I put it on the 1st gear, hear a normal clunk, then I give it some gas and before it starts moving there is another clunk and slight jolt. It only happens when the bike is cold and only when it starts...

    Question

    I did it myself. I had to remove 2 panels and disconnect the light, it is not hard on RS. The battery comes out easy. There are videos on how to do it here or check youtube. The new battery comes with small adapters that go into contacts so the wires can connect properly. When you pull the old...

    Brilliant idea about the foam. I will change the battery. Is it a simple swap or there is a need for computer reset at the dealer?

    Question

    I had an issue with oil in the airbox and was told here and by the dealer that it's due to oil overfill. So I keep it just below 1/2 on the stick. This is a common issue on early RS models.

    Air box oil

    Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I just wanted to get a feedback on the oil in the airbox situation. I have a 2008 RS SE5 and I've had this problem after about 2000 miles on the bike, As far as I know- no real fix from BRP. I've used catch cans, but they leak eventually and oil drips on the exhaust...

    Exhaust issues

    Yes, and the "pop" happens only when hot. If I shut it off and start again-- no "pop". Only happens after a ride. I hear it only at the exhaust exit, the engine sounds ok
