• 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.

    Several years ago many of us were using the Michelin Hydro Edge (215x60R15) as our favorite rear tire of choice...Then Michelin NO longer made that tire...These tires wore like iron due to the 800 tread wear...I just got this e-mail today...Did Michelin reintroduce this tire back in the market...

    1330cc 2014 RT won't idle and is sluggish in lower gears

    First thing I'd do is check the intake air system for a restriction...Like a mouse nest...Next I'd remove the purge valve from the air cleaner box...If this valve is stuck open that's a direct vacuum leak...And its flooding the air box with gas fumes...The electric pump in the tank acts like a...

    My 2010 RTS just went up in a ball of flames

    GLAD YOU'RE OK... If I remember correctly, I think BRP took Lamonsters factory loaner Spyder back for some type of issues...Not sure if it was fire related or not... There was also a BRP Demo Spyder that burned up several years ago on a demo ride...There was a youtube video floating around...

    Belt Tensioner, use it or do not use it?? What’s y’all opinion on that.

    I'm a fan of belt tensioners...There's a reason BRP started installing them from the factory...Changing the belt tension just moves the vibration to a different speed... Spend a little more and buy a QUALITY SMOOTH SPYDER belt tensioner...You'll never have a problem...Yes I have one...larryd
