• 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.

    Head set pin configuration help

    I am trying to find a helmet less headset for the wife's 2011 RT with factory installed audio/CB system. I have called and spoken with Sierra, J & M and have searched E-Bay for help - no go. I am pretty handy. I bought a 7 pin helmet less headset for a Harley and it fits the female socket on...

    dave01 question....

    I am sorry to hear but am not too far behind you. BRP had to know that their machine was not ready for prime time - but hood winked us anyway! I am also angry with myself for not doing more homework before forking over that kind of big money. I have several old bikes and ALL of them run...

    Stuck in 5th

    That is the best advice I have ever heard regarding the RT. I hope that once we get past the throttle body, software updates, and all of the other issues we will have a fun and reliable machine.

    Undependable - when is a lemon a lemon

    I have cooled off a little - I did the ground fix by stripping down the right side and holding a 10 m wrench - real tight now. It was only a tiny bit loose and only needed 1/2 - 3/4 turn to tighten up. I have it on the charger over night. more to come. (it is nice to know you guys are out...

    engine trouble/limp mode

    Dealer will NOT pay for tow My dealer told me that I had to pay for the tow. He said BRP would not pay - my bike is new as of july with 3000 miles. As you may be able to guess I am furious and may talk to an attorney.

    I bought the wife a 2011 RT - SE-5 about three months ago. The bike has been in and out of the dealers service department three times. The only certified mechanic tells me that I caused the most recent issue - a loose ground. The throttle body was replaced and the bike ran great for three...

    Questions - RPMs, Control Cluster, Lights

    same thing My wife has the exact model you do and for the first couple of weeks we got "flashed" all the time. I then discovered the air shock adjustment under the seat and it had zero pressure in it. Pumped it up to around 60 psi and it put the headlight in the right plane - no more flashing...

    Check Engine-Cause and Effect?

    Check engine light Just dropped off the wife's spyder (2011 RT-SE-5 w/3000 miles) for the same issue. Starts right up- idles a little rough - the small orange check engine icon comes on followed by the GREAT big orange warning - takes up the whole screen and is very scary looking. The...
