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.

It's a no-go...
The 2012 has a Series 990 Vee-Twin
The 2013 has a Series 991...
The engines are tuned differently; the exhaust systems are not interchangeable.

Thanks, they actually switched to 991 late 2010. From 2008 to early 2010 they used 990 than late 2010 to 2012 they used 991, 2013 still same bore and displacement but higher compression. There is a dealer that is selling an Akrapovic exhaust listed as 2013+ I emailed him if it will work for 2012 he said yes but no returns on the exhaust so I was just trying to find out if it will not work because one has a built-in cat or because the mount is different. I like the look of akrapovic but it doesn't seem they made them for 2012 so I guess I'll live with a stock exhaust.

Actually... The 991 engines came out with the RT models. They are tuned for more torque at a lower rpm levels; but less top-end horsepower. Camshafts, compression ratios are completely different, than for the engines used in the GS/RS models. They also came with "throttle by wire"; rather than an actual throttle cable. This allowed BRP to equip the RTs with cruise control.
BRP put the 991 engines in ALL of their bikes for the first time beginning with the 20132 model year. :thumbup:
...and the 1330 came out for 2014, and that changed everything.

Check out YouTube for some of the aftermarket systems. You might get a couple of good ideas.
