• 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.

    Small Issue - SE6 hesitates shifting up?! Anyone else/solutions?

    Hi Folks, Own a 2017 RTL/SE6. About 15k on it. The other day out riding I noticed some issues shifting. Mostly 4 to 5 or 5 to 6th gear. Didn't seem to want to shift up. Had to push the button several times to get it to shift. Checked oil level - OK. No codes flashing. Has someone else...

    Why no built in GPS on 2020RT?

    Hi Joel, I have 2017 RT Limited. It has the Garmin Zumo590. I wouldn't have it any other way. Every few months I take it off, plug into my computer and down load (for free) the latest maps and updates. I have found "in-dash" GPS's need to be updated at a dealer and they usually charge a rather...

    Betty White’s Latest Upgrades

    Semper, Where did you get the highway peg/footrests? Running a classy white 2017 RTL. Have the Lamonster highway pegs, but those look real comfortable. Johnny 2017 RTL

    Fuel octane explained.

    Hi Gom, Running Premium (91 octane). Regular (87 oct) contains ethanal - at least in Canada it does. Try to avoid. Ethanal tends to draw water in from atmosphere. Johnny 2017 RTL

    Ignorant questions about jacking up the RT

    I use three wide (about 5") scissor jacks. One under each front suspension - just inside the tires and one under the shock connection at the rear. I use some flat hard rubber about 1" thick on the Jacks to prevent marring bike parts. Usually lift mine like this for winter - just so the tires...

    Speedometer inaccuracy

    I have a 17 RTL. My speedo is off by 2-3 "KM"/hr. Doesn't effect anything. If you have a GPS that shows speed it will give the accurate reading. Running car tires at the same size as the OEM's. I'm not going to worry about it.

    What's with the whining noise mainly in 4th & 5th gears?

    I too have a 2017 RTL SE6 - I have whine at about 35-45 MPH. I agree that I also believe it to be straight cut gears. Stronger, but noisy. I also run Fed Fermoza (front), but the noise was there before changing from stock tires.

    RT Tri-axis handle bars

    Hi folks, Own a 2017 RTL. A question to those who have the trip-axis bars. Being a short armed person - what range (front to back) does the trip-axis bar have? Would hope to get 1-2" rearward movement over stock bar. Thanks in advance. Johnny

    Something new and questions

    Hi Wifesspyder, I'd recommend the Russell Day long seat. You send in your seat and they rebuild it with better foam, side bolsters(wings), etc. You send in your height, weight, picture of you and passenger sitting on seat (side view). Any mods you would like - within reason. I'm not small, and...

    Battery

    Hi Folks, Question: Is the battery in the 1330's AGM? If not. Does anyone make an AGM battery the same size, capacity, etc for the RTL 1330? Thank's in advance for any advice. Johnny.
