    My biggest takeaway from the course was when we had to repeatedly run over a 2x4. Left wheel, right wheel, both wheels. It wasn't nearly as big a deal as I thought it would be. Now, instead of...

    I'll jump in here, but I can only share my experiences trying to link up without BRP GO, as I have a 2017 RTL. I am using a Bluetooth receiver similar to what Lemonster sells. I can Bluetooth link my...

    I bet I said "hu" about a dozen times during that video. (That's a good thing) :thumbup:

    I'm in kind of a unique situation. I bought my 2017 RTL a few weeks ago with 53K on it. It is now almost 55K, with no red dust. So I figure this one must have been changed out at some point, but I...

    Probably should have updated this sooner. I bought a 2017 RT Limited about a month and a half ago. I've put almost 600 miles on it, and I passed the rider safety class. Pretty much good to go.

    Previous owner added a pigtail, and USB ports with a 12v plug at the center of the handlebars. So things are getting a little crowded on the terminals. I will be doing something way overkill today to...

    Yes. it does, but there is only so much a thin piece of plastic can do to guard against some moron cramming his backpack into the frunk. Ok, maybe a bit harsh. Maybe I just left my thinking cap at...

    Just an FYI. My 2017 RTL still doesn't show as on the list, but my dealer says it definitely is.

    My first "Oh Crap" moment, got off cheap!

    I had to go to a customer site that is only 10 minutes from my house, so of course, take the Spyder they said. It'll be fun they said.

    When my work was done, I went out to the parking lot to start...

    I will post as soon as the service guy at my dealership lets me know. I've been by there for other things quite a bit, and have gotten to be friends with this guy so I think he will call me when he...

    Here's the link, https://can-am.brp.com/on-road/us/en/owner-zone/safety-recalls.html

    Well I have owned my 2017 RTL for all of 3 weeks, and as soon as I read this, I called BRP to inform them of the change in ownership, like it says to do in the owner's manual.

    They informed me...

    I ended up buying a Scorpion EXO-GT930. I much prefer an open face helmet. But when you get up in to the 3XL, 4XL size range, there are very few choices available. I like the way I can remove the...

    I don't disagree with anyone shifting in to reverse how ever they want. My point is that I wasn't able to even do it with one hand before I lubed the button. Now it just works the way it was intended.

    Just FYI, I measure 62cm, and needed a 4XL with the HJM i90. So at least for me, the size charts are WAY off.

    Yes it was hard to describe what I did, and I could have done a better job. I was just mentioning it so others might think outside the box. Honestly, even if I had to dig the 2 foot hole from scratch...

    HowTo: Used the water meter hole for Baja Ron bar R&R

    I pulled the lid off my water meter hole in my yard, and it appeared to be close to deep enough to get the old sway arm out, and install the Baja Ron. It required just a bit of additional digging,...

    OK so I will e taking the course for sure, even though they raised the price to $199 in Georgia. Byron is the closest to me, but they have shut down giving the course because they are expanding, and...

    "Diminishing oscillation" is a perfect way to describe it. Diminishing is good, but I think anyone can see how disturbing this is to new riders.

    I went through your entire thread explaining what a...

    New rider, confession and question

    Was out riding yesterday, and I was on what I would call a twisty for the first time. I took a curve around 35-40mph, which was the posted speed limit.

    Difficulty with the reverse button

    So the guy made good on delivering my 2017 RTL all the way from West Texas. Believe it or not, it is better than described, and far better than expected. I can not find one thing I am disappointed...
