• 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.

    Are Sprocket and belt issues after just 15,000 miles likely?

    Understood, Mikey. I too have generally kept an eye on the gap between belt and flange - and it was always there until recently!

    That's great information, BajaRon - thank you so much.

    Are Sprocket and belt issues after just 15,000 miles likely?

    I do see reports from people (see comments in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWGiCt7aW6s) that they aligned the belt correctly but then, after torquing the axle nut to the correct value, the belt ended up back against the flange. Maybe that's what the mechanic found?

    Are Sprocket and belt issues after just 15,000 miles likely?

    How would I get enough depth of field to show all that way from the rear sprocket? The rear tyre was replaced not long ago by a local tyre dealer using a method which does not, I believe, alter the belt tension or alignment. I too thought it looked like the belt was not quite touching the...

    Are Sprocket and belt issues after just 15,000 miles likely?

    Thank you so much for the comforting words! I did manage a belt alignment on our previous RT, though I may just take it to a different dealer for a second 'expert' opinion!

    Are Sprocket and belt issues after just 15,000 miles likely?

    My wife’s 2021 RT Sea-to-Sky has done about 15,000 miles in 3 years. A few weeks ago, we started to notice that the belt was squeaking on the rear sprocket – particularly evident when pushing the bike forward or backward without the engine on. As it happens, it was due its annual service this...

    Anyone replaced the Saddlebag Release Cable on a 2021 RT? Seen a video?

    Thank you so much for all that wonderful detail. It was enough to scare me off! I will now ask whether BRP will pay for the replacement work at one of their dealers, next time I can get to one.

    Anyone replaced the Saddlebag Release Cable on a 2021 RT? Seen a video?

    Thanks, but I'd seen those already - and they are useless! They basically say: "unhook the end at the lever where you pull....and you're done!"

    Anyone replaced the Saddlebag Release Cable on a 2021 RT? Seen a video?

    Has anyone replaced the Saddlebag Release Cable on a 2021 RT? Or have you seen a video showing how it's done (with a link please)? BRP have supplied a new cable under warranty after the original on my wife's Sea-to-Sky snapped, but they did not supply any fitting instructions (and I'm a long...

    Dealer saying rear lid shock replacmt not covered by warranty - thoughts?

    My wife's 2021 Sea-to-Sky has been experiencing a weak trunk lid strut for many months, so the dealer has finally replaced it under warranty. I did get a chance to compare the two struts after he took the 10 minutes required to remove the old one. I could compress the old one with a bit of...

    Auto retract of windshield doesn't always work

    Sorry - I should have mentioned that. We are aware of that option but he assures me he is not touching the windshield button when he turns off the bike.

    Auto retract of windshield doesn't always work

    Auto lowering of windscreen doesn't always work I know someone else posted about a similar problem, but that was over a year ago so I hope I can ask again. My friend's 2021 RTL electric windshield will usually perform the built-in auto-retract to its lowest position when the ignition is turned...

    Auto retract of windshield doesn't always work

    My mate's 2021 RT Limited has recently started doing the same - i.e. the windscreen sometimes lowers on switch-off but sometimes doesn't. The small number of responses to this thread suggests it is not a common problem?

    SE6 shift paddle sticking... again!

    I might have started thinking that way if it hadn't also happened under the same circumstances on our friend's RT. At least we are aware of the issue now — so my wife has started carrying some WD40 on the bike, as she did on her last one.
