• 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.

    I found someone with the BUDS II from my SOAR riding group. He reset the Transmission sensor and cleared the code. Rode it about 200 miles. All is good. One happy camper here.

    Well got it all back together. Rides and shifts great no more noisy bearing or chirping clutch. The imput shaft to the clutch drum was moving around causing the clutch to chirp. Of course the transmission fault light is on and needs to be 0 out with buds like the repair manual said would need to...

    Well got the engine out and transmission off the engine. Not a job for the light wrenchers. It really was a bitch getting it out. BRP engineering need to think about their techs. Anyway, I just took pictures - see below. There is no way to do a step by step. You have to just wing it. But you do...

    Sudden noise, chirping, & vibration from RHSide engine - anyone else? Ideas?

    I will take pictures of the process. I was a certified auto tech for my career, so I'm not afraid to tear into things. I also have a friend helping me that has strong mechanical background. He rebuilds classic cars. He has been into a lot of different types of gearboxes. I'm thinking the motor...

    Update. Got the clutch cover and clutch basket out. The bearing plastic cage broke on the transmission shaft causing all the growling and vibration. Clutch looks ok Need to pull motor and remove transmission and split tranny case to replace bearings. Anyone seen a video removing the motor on an...

    Anybody else with this F3-S Front Sprocket Issue?

    They have a recall on the front sprocket that go's thru 2019 models. I had mine done a year ago. Do not know if any of the recalled ones have failed yet. I haven't heard if 2020 and up have failed. Maybe someone will respond if they have had a newer one go bad.

    Well the splines on the front pully look good. I'm going to put it back together and test ride. It may be a clutch problem but it shifts good.

    I looked at the pulley and belt. Had the recall done last season. There is no red dust on the pulley. I will look at it again; and check my Lamonster damper. I replace it every 20k or so. It's due for that.

    Speed 55 5th gear. All gears feel normal shifting 75 degrees nice day Made a rattling or clunking noise when it happened. Just sounds noisier then normal now. Chirping on takeoff only or sitting still loading the engine a little with brake on. You can hear it in the video link I just posted. The...

Did my 28k service with new trans filter ect. 43,000 on it now. I'm going to try to post a link from Facebook. I am not very computer savvy. I was gone...

    Sudden noise, chirping, & vibration from RHSide engine - anyone else? Ideas?

    I was riding and all of a sudden, I heard a noise, a chirping sound, and a little vibration coming from right side of the engine. I will post a video. First thought was the front pulley, but that is ok and was replaced under recall last season. I was thinking maybe clutch, but it still shifts...

    Just got the New Version V20.80 Firmware on my 2018 RT

    You can try to get the update free, but 6 years have passed since the 20.8 update. It is worth paying the half hour it takes to update. Your music will work better along with your helmet headsets. You can listen to music thru your speakers or your Sena headset speakers ect. I still cannot figure...
