I took my RTS in for its initial oil change on Wednesday and while I was dropping it off I told the service person that when the fuel gauge was showing close to the red area of the gauge and I went to fill up I could only fit 15 litres into a 25 litre tank. They checked out the resistance through the wire to the gauge and it checked out within spec. They then contacted BRP and they told the service person that the gauge shows a 15 litre tank with a 10 litre reserve. Do we really need that much leeway on the gas gauge? I will be disconnecting the wire to the analog gauges soon.

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.

you will like the results, I had my dealership do it for me,and i love seeing the temp gauge also in a digital layout, the colors
will change to orange if the temp rises.
. Gonna wait for some factory gauges to become available for the voltage and oil pressure. (are you listening BRP) Get working
on these accessories and do the change on the 2011 model year!:thumbup:

Analog Gauge filler caps
My dealer gave me a set of snap in caps to fill in the hole(s), temporarily, when I remove the gauges. I installed a Voltage Gauge (Teleflex Morse Signature series) this week and really like being able to see the state of the battery as I cruise along. Tapped into the ground and switched wires when I removed the fuel gauge. (Orange wire for the fuel gauge light is the switched wire and the black wire on the tripod that attaches to the original fuel gauge is my ground wire.)
I went through a catalog with the guy from the local marine shop and he originally ordered in one with a domed glass and black backing that we had picked. It came in the next day, but he was not enamored with it so he had his supplier send him another one with the silver backing so I could look at both units to see which I preferred.
Here is a picture of the gauge mounted in my dash where the fuel gauge was removed.

I vote for an altimeter and air speed indicator. :roflblack:

:thumbup: We're gonna need more air speed than that, though, this ain't no Piper Cub! :roflblack:
