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.

Get a copy of the service manual
Highly suggest you go to this web site ( http://brpmanuals.com/ ) and get the service manual. It's a quick download and worth the $24.50 cost.

Bummer.....
Sorry to hear of your misfortune...You will have to remove the rear wheel to gain access the sprockets. You can bend the belt over the front sprocket if alrady mounted otherwise push it through and then mount the sprocket and loop the rear sprocket. Then bolt on the wheel adjusting the belt for tension and tracking. Keep it on the lower side of the tension spec...:thumbup:

Its a 2015 so unless he bought an extended warranty, no.
BRP has been covering the sprocket failures under warranty and BEST but only a few have gotten consideration after warranty ended.
No coverage by BRP. Gotta it figured out was wondering if there is a torque value for the front sprocket bolt and the axle nut

Another reason to trade for the Ryker?
I would definitely get the online manual and it will answer all you questions. If the sprocket is loose and free to come off it shouldn't be to bad but you need to get the proper locktite from the dealer or somewhere?
Thanks did get the manual and got the belt installed. Went for test ride would not shift out of 1st gear and reved to about 8000 rpm before I could get it shut down. Tried again and same thing happened, so back into the garage. Any thoughts or answers would be helpful, as I go back to the manual for answers .

So this is a semi-auto?
You may have knocked a sensor out of whack as just changing the front sprocket and belt shouldn't cause such issues as you're having. Makes no sense it would rev to 8,000 rpms.. is it doing that on it's own? How's your oil level? Low oil on those SE models can cause shifting issues as well as the Gear Positioning Sensor.
On the rear there are speed sensors that could have caused some issues, but none of these things should cause revving like you're describing.
Did you use the Loctite 648 procedure when installing the new sprocket? That's what they're recommending now. I just pulled my sprocket and did it before any problems were to arise.
You basically clean it all real well and use Loctite Primer T 7471(Acetone). Then apply the Loctite 648 to both surfaces and assemble within 5 minutes. Torque to 96 ft/lbs and then let sit for 24 hours to cure.
