• 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.

    CB PTT Problem....

    Hi Ruthie, Carlo can be reached at: [email protected] 715-848-4957 or 819-566-3366 Am not sure but I'd think alignments may not be covered under warranty unless some steering or suspension component is found to be defective. Carlo will set you straight!! Bill

    CB PTT Problem....

    :clap: WOW....... never thought I'd be posting this so soon after my last post... Got a phone call a few minutes ago from Carlo... indicated that the correction is indeed a new 2011 cluster, and that he'd just gotten off the phone with my dealer to let him know as well. As you might...

    CB PTT Problem....

    There's been a lot said and posted about the 2010 RT's CB lingering transmitter problem, where it continues transmitting for 5-7 seconds after the PTT button is released. Many of you with the problem have had cluster replacements to a 2011 cluster as authorized by BRP. My question is have you...

    XM Radio Reception - directionally affected

    Thanks to all for the comments and responses! Was in Brighton, MI this past weekend and it was GREAT riding weather! I took the Blue Bomber out for a spin (1-up... as it was too cool for Sandy), and I noticed that my XM radio still worked (even though it was switched over to my car) for the 3...

    XM Radio Reception - directionally affected

    UH-OH!!!! I'll be in BIG TROUBLE if I tell Sandy I need to leave her at home to get good southbound XM reception!!! I'd BETTER figure out where to mount my XM antenna to get un-obstructed, un-attenuated signal!! Thankyou to all of you for helping me figure this out!! :clap: Bill

    XM Radio Reception - directionally affected

    Hi George, I had to take the Firestik to a machine shop and they turned down the thread size to fit the RT's base. That cost me $30 plus the cost of the Firestik ($21, I think). I can't say it works any better than the original (which I'd accidentally broke), since I'm usually a mile or...

    XM Radio Reception - directionally affected

    SpyderCouple: Interesting approach you took! Help me understand though... you mounted the factory provided XM antenna in the left mirror? Is the antenna "upside down" if it's attached to the top, inside part of the mirror housing? Getting it out of the shadow and toward the front (as Scotty...

    XM Radio Reception - directionally affected

    Hi Bob, Good thought, although I do have a CB antenna there (upgraded to a Firestik II). That would be a good alternative to try. The antenna provided with the BRP kit is a flat mount that locates under the cover of the rear compartment. Perhaps if it were exposed, and mounted where the CB...

    XM Radio Reception - directionally affected

    I had considered an external antenna, and am sure that would probably nail it. I'd only be concerned about having to compromise my travel and storage covers, since the antenna would likely need to protrude through or else be damaged by the cover. I'd probably consider an external antenna as...
