• 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.

    2016 USB Fault

    This issue SEEMS to be heat related. On cooler days I get very few faults, but yesterday it was in the mid to high 80s and every time I stopped and re-started the fault occurred. Tried moving the stick around in the trunk, but it's pretty warm everywhere in there. NEVER had the USB fault while...

    Break-in of 2016 rt 1330 ENGINE

    I just did my first oil change @5,111 Kms today, using a BRP oil change kit. Only a tiny amount of "powder" on the magnet, no fillings. 5 quarts of oil brought the level to 3/4 of the "3" range. Didn't use a drop of oil since new. I broke it in fairly gently, slowly increasing throttle and RPMs...

    2016 USB Fault

    Hi Bob, just got back from a 300Km ride and I still got the fault, only once but still faulted. I'm going to try moving the stick around the trunk and see if that makes any difference. Neil

    2016 USB Fault

    Yes, Billy, the fault never occurs while the USB stick is "running", only on startup. But it has never faulted on Initial startup (in the garage) only after I have been riding for a while, stop and re-start a few mins. later. Sorry, I never thought to include this in the original post, so heat...

    2016 USB Fault

    Hi Bob, coincidentally: Yesterday I added a short (6") extension cable just to limit the re-inserts, didn't want to damage the trike's cable. After doing this I had no more faults, I'm riding today and will report the faults (or lack of). BTW I have only use USB 2.0 sticks. Neil

    2016 USB Fault

    Yes it's for music. Most of the time it works great, but every once in a while it faults when you start the trike. Unplugging and then re-inserting the drive always gets it working again. Also re-starting the trike will work. This happens on 3 different drives: 4GB 8GB and 32GB sticks of two...

    Hi All, I have been getting a USB fault quite often on my 2016 RTE6. Talked to the dealer about it and was emailed this: "So I have looked into this issue and you are not the only one experiencing this problem! They have been informed of the issue at BRP and are working on a software...

    I just checked my 2016 RTE6, and I get at Most 1/4" of play at the end of the bars. I checked the steering, and there is no play from the pitman arm to the tie rod ends. So it must be in the steering shaft or the steering box. Neil
