• 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.

    Here in Michigan winter storage I use bounce dryer sheets tucked in all over. As well as I use Irish spring soap bars in the RV to ward them off. Keeps everything smelling springtime fresh as well :)

    Question Concerning Baja Ron's Sway Bar

    Yes that is a tad steep.. Would not take a dealer more than an Hr. They have the tools, and technicians to get it done in hr. 300 / hr is acceptable for a great lawyer but a mechanic ......:yikes: Just put one on this weekend. Biggest / easiest way is to get the front end to ground clearance...

    Dave, I will try and answer as best I can: 1: with your helmet on how does one hear from the group? Thru the helmet speakers when someone keys up 2: Are you able to use the speakers in your helmet? Yes 3: If i were to get one does it have to be from BRP to be able to use the PTT button on the...

    PTT CB Issue

    That short connection between the switch and the CAN bus is where it was added. It seems that the RF on the line was allowing noise on the line and this was causing the device to trigger error.

    PTT CB Issue

    :p:p That would be nice if I put that.. It boiled down to adding a choke on the PTT line to keep / eliminate the RF noise causing the system to kick the code. BRP initially tried to blame headset, antenna, CB module (3x) complete wiring harness, and even dash cluster. But it came down to the...

    PTT CB Issue

    Just an update to the issues she is having. After some searching and digging it turns out that there was a Service note on this issue in 2013 & 14 and it describes the symptoms EXACTLY almost word for word :yikes: and gives the process and components to replace. It seems that the CB & the...

    PTT CB Issue

    Thanks for the info. We also have several other friends with the exact same yr and model RT. They do not have any issues either. So it would seem this is either a fluke, bad dealer or BRP product right out of the box.
