• 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 bought one from Europe for my 2012 RTS. It’s really amazing how it improves the driving experience. Also the purchase from Martinthevlogger was trouble free.

    I added a Pedal Box to my 2012

    I purchased a Pedal Box from Martin the Vlogger for my 2012 RT. When I have my wife riding as a passenger the 998 always seemed a little sluggish from a stop. The Pedal Box certainly corrected that problem. I have it in city mode most of the time. Sport mode is just unbelievably responsive. I...

    998cc 2010 RTS - unexplained quitting fixed & some Engine mods.

    Makes me think that using Seafoam additive added to the gas might help keep the throttle bodies from getting gummed up.

    2012 RT - what's needed to compress rear caliper piston?

    So the end of this story is I purchased the brake piston compressor. I couldn’t get a good enough grip the the c-clamp. I was able to compress it until it was almost flush and install the new pads. Even at this point they were a tight fit. Test drive complete.

    2012 RT - what's needed to compress rear caliper piston?
