    Default No longer a virgin!

    Finally overcame my fear of stripping the bodywork off my RT. I did so to install the BRP belt Tensioner. The install went great and the results were tremendous even thou I hadn't realized a problem, the bike uses to rumble aa bit at highway speeds.....now that is gone completely.

    As an aside....I was surprised at the amount of dirt under the body panels. I am wondering if others remove the panels just to clean the undercarriage?

    Ayway all good even the feared mirror removal and replacement went great.

    Cheers and Ride Safe!

    It seems the first time you have to remove panels is always the hardest. You read the manual about 10 times and still aren't sure if you are doing it right. But it will be easier each time you have to do it from now on, and take very little time too.

    Ditto!
    While cleaning it is a good time to check wiring and insulation, just annual house keeping under the skirts.

    Nice, I'm going to take apart too soon, waiting on parts. GPS, USB connections, horn and radar detector.
