All commendable observations however in todays connected world Corporations can and MUST be held to account for their business decisions, particularly when they claim the moral high ground.

It is not a question of economic downturn. Every one of the dealers is still in business selling Can Am off-road vehicles. Can Am on-road used the connections they had through Can Am off-road to...

BRP Customer support got back to me this morning.... They listed 5 dealers near me that could service my bike...great....except they were the very ones they closed down. The phone number they also...

I don't buy the on-road v off-road business models... it's all owned by BRP. They could easily allow them to service the vehicles, more so in the case of factory safety recalls, where they are...

Auckland Wellington Christchurch.

From what I was told by a dealer, BRP required them to stock their full range of on road vehicles on their showroom floors. Many could not afford it especially...

So popped into my local Can Am dealership today to see about the fuel pump recall only to be told they won't be able to help. Apparently BRP have decided not to support their on-road dealer network...

Came across some shingle that had spilled onto the road from a stock pile right in the middle of tight corner on my last ride. Couldn't see it going into the corner...if I was on a bike there is no...

I guess most of the folks saying "to relax and use the throttle rather than push or pull the bars" maybe have power assisted steering on their machines. To be fair, it was a longish ride for me so...

Thanks, we are very fortunate to have lots of beautiful scenery and the backroads to see them in NZ. The USA has always been on my bucket list to ride, and I now have a son in law and daughter living...

Loving the Rally

Its a fairly crappy system which can be frustrating to get right. The button can get out of line so you need to look closely at the outer rim as it passess through the max mount. Make sure it isn't...

My Rally is subject to the recall. The dealer is ordering replacement parts but they won't be available until Feb at the earliest. Thanks for the heads up :-)

First time on gravel today. The rally was well at home on the steep uphill twisty climbs. Rally mode made power drifting around corners as easy as twisting the throttle. The suspension was also spot...

My comment....

"so....Pedal Commander tells the butterfly to open a third of a blink of an eye earlier than would otherwise be the case."

would've been better written... Pedal commander tells...

As above the repair manual is cheap and almost compulsory for DIY maintenance.

Thanks for this, sounds exactly what I'm looking for. will check them out. Cheers!

so....Pedal Commander tells the butterfly to open a third of a blink of an eye earlier than would otherwise be the case. The butterfly has a fixed maximum speed at which it can open but PC allows the...

Thanks for the comments.

I'm not sure risers are the solution as the bars are already quite high compared to the bikes I've ridden, where the bars a noticeably lower for my 6'2" frame. The wrist...

Wondering if anyone here has swapped out their handlebars and what you ended up with. My wrists are getting a bit of a hammering pulling the bars around the backroad twisties which abound in NZ. In...

Thanks Sarah. Fitted the bar end weights yesterday but can't do a test ride atm; my leg has been playing up so have been advised to rest up for a few days. Managed to reuse the stock bolts like you...

Fitted full size rear guard to my Rally.

The logic/science makes perfect sense to me, however, while quick throttle response is important for fast acceleration the CVT is a limiting factor which makes the discussion a little moot for me. A...

So I've done my first ride. Came back with me and the Rally in one piece, although the right rear indicator was almost ready to fall off...assemblers hadn't tightened that up too well! Was great to...

Batteries can be fickle things. I've gone a decade with zero battery problems but my late Tiger 800XC went through three in 2years! Just luck of the draw I guess. Great news you've got it running...

Fitted some other bits to the Rally, just need the weather to play ball for my inaugural ride :-)

My guess would be the battery. I've had trouble on my bikes with batteries that will turn the bike over but wont allow it to start. A load test is the only way to properly check it. If it's below...

Yeah that may be where it ends up. I can also get my prothesitist to look at a slightly smaller foot. I do like the protection quality mx boots offer so will make them work somehow.

that's a great idea Sarah, will give it a try.

Fitted gear lever today.
