• 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.

    Can Shortee Antenna Be Used For CB Only?

    I think widowmaker2011 is referring to transmitting, not reception. Sure antenna "mass" has a lot to do with reception but antenna length (ideally tuned to 1/4 wavelength) has a lot to do with effective power transmitted. Without a 1 to 1 SWR or close to that the transmitter's output power is...

    Can Shortee Antenna Be Used For CB Only?

    My concern was not reception but rather how the short antenna matches up with the CB transmitter. A CB antenna needs to be tuned (SWR) so that the CB transmitter receives minimal signal reflection otherwise you can damage the CB transmitter. I'm told the CB on the RT is inline loaded so the...

    Can Shortee Antenna Be Used For CB Only?

    I see there is a SHORTEE antenna available for the RT. My antenna for the CB broke off the other day and the dealer is trying to get BRP to replace it under warranty. Does anyone know if the SHORTEE can be used for CB only and if so how it is tuned? I tried PMing Magic Man but haven't gotten...

    CB Antenna Broke Off!

    While ryding yesterday I heard something flopping around on the rear of the RTS so I pulled off the road and looked at the back of the bike. The CB antenna had broken off at the base and was only attached to the bike by the thin wire that raps around the antenna. :gaah:The antenna core appears...

    Who wants a FREE Street Magic RT HMT Brake Light?

    What shipper was used (UPS, USPS,,)? I'm away from home until Wednesday next week and have my mail on hold. If it was shipped via UPS I'll have my neighbor pick it up at the house. If it's USPS I assume the PO will hold it with the rest of my mail.

    Large Size Can-Am Hybrid ST Discontinued?

    Just got a call from my dealer parts guy that finally got an answer from a BRP rep. The large blue CanAm ST-1 helmet now won't be available until mid-October. :dontknow: Can't believe BRP would list these helmets on their website for the last six months and not have them available for...

    Large Size Can-Am Hybrid ST Discontinued?

    My Can-Am ST-1 Hybrid helmet arrived at my dealer Friday and I went to pick it up and try it on. I ordered an XL size (p/n 4474271280) and unfortunately it was to large and didn’t fit correctly. The dealer parts rep called BRP to order a large size (p/n 4474270980) and was told by the BRP rep...

    My take on B.E.S.T. Warranty

    When I took delivery of my RTS on Friday they tried to sell me a RPM ONE extended warranty. Since I had never heard of this company I told them I would think about it over the weekend. They wanted $679 for two years beyond the factory which they said was only one year (total of three years)...

    Oil over filled by one quart from dealer!

    Engine was hot (20 mile drive from dealer), stopped and removed panel, restarted and idled about a minute before shut down. Immediately removed dip stick and oil level was at the dip stick threads (about two inches above full mark).

    Oil over filled by one quart from dealer!

    We took delivery on our new orbital blue RTS SE5 this afternoon and the dealer assured us everything was checked out by their assembly mechanic. I even had the mechanic show me how to remove the panel to check the oil but did not actually pull the dip stick. After a 20 mile ride from the dealers...

    Purchasing a new RTS

    We ordered our Orbital Blue RT-S SE5 April 26. Got a call from the dealer that it arrived yesterday and we should be able to take delivery Thursday or Friday after they install our CB/Comm and Zumo 660 GPS!:2excited: Now if we could just get our Can-Am ST-1 helmets before June!

    Garmin GPS backordered

    Better double check on the GPS being "backordered". I placed an order for a RTS SE5 on April 26 and negotiated a fair price on the GPS accessory with install at that time. I got a call from the dealer on Tuesday that the GPS had arrived at the dealers.
