• 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.

    2012 RT SE5 starts OK then shuts down when 1st or R selected - ideas?

    Honestly - the price was right. I contemplated having it repaired there and flying out to ride back. But I'd rather do it myself. A clutch job is well within my skill set and I look forward to digging into it.

    I'll reach out to a dealer tomorrow and see what info they can provide. Hoping it's something on the more inexpensive side, but I am prepared for the worst.

    *it should* ...but doesn't. She has to manually shift to neutral with a 13mm wrench. Otherwise, it starts in gear with the clutch engaged and lurches forward or backwards depending on the gear its stuck in.

    It's a fresh brand-new battery. I'll have her double check the charge level though. As for shifting with the 13mm wrench... she read a post on FB on how to shift it back into Neutral if stuck in 1st or Reverse. She's a mechanical engineer and her husband is a robotics engineer. They've got...

    Ok so I did something questionable... Bought a 2012 RT SE5 from a shop that took it in on trade. It's across the country at my Daughter's house in Bremerton, WA. I'm an hour west of Boston. It idles fine (now that she replaced the battery) but when she shifts it into gear it shuts down and stays...

    Hey Ya'll We Got A New Member! Lets welcome bluesmike to SL

    Howdy! First post W00T!!! About me: I'm old, not like Methuselah old, but I got to see all the great bands live... I've survived the 60's, 70', clawed and scratched my way through the 80's and 90's. I remember most of the early 2000's, sometimes fondly, sometimes not. I served in the Navy (5th...
