• 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.

2011 Changes

Just a note to say I am finding a few things different with the 2011. First was ordering the Nelson Rigg tank bag. In order to work with my 2011, there is a kit that needs to be ordered or custom make some new front straps. No biggie, but nothing I found tells you this.

Then on changing the oil, I found that both the dealer crush washers and the one that I ordered from a great guy off this site do not fit the oil tank drain plug. They fit the engine drain plug which is a smaller diameter on my bike then the plug on the oil tank.

Anyone else seen this with the crush washers?

We had to install a special bracket to hold the Can-Am tank back, it did not come with it on our 08 and like JJ Rider stated, the crush washers are two different sizes. Nothing changed about those things between 08 and 11.
 
Interesting. That is weird that both my local dealer and the seller on this site both sent me crush washers that are all four the exact same.
