• 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.

    How do I replace 2020 RTL rear trunk lid shock/lift cylinder? Lid won't stay up!

    Replacing the gas strut is pretty easy on the 2020. Takes about 10 minutes. You remove the two screws inside the trunk that hold the backrest on. (Circled in red) The backrest lifts straight up. Once you get that off, the strut is easy to get to. You have to remove the bottom 1st then the lid...

    Before I buy a 2nd phone… could I just use it for BRP Connect functions?

    If you do decide to use a 2nd phone, consider a rugged model off amazon. They come with much larger batteries and are considerably cheaper.

    I sure hope you are right on the Riken tire. Just ordered one after 6 Kumho's. Hoping for better wet road handling.

    FYI - HCM Oil Filter Change

    When changing oil this week, I also changed the HCM filter. You need to change the engine oil at the same time as there is a considerable amount of oil in the HCM housing. The filter is buried under all the tupperware. You have to remove the large side cover to get to the bottom bolts. I...

    What polish to use on S2S matt paint?

    You never polish or wax a matte finish. There are a ton of cleaners out there but Windex works as well as anything. NEVER rub hard on a matte finish. It will ruin the finish and make it shiny.

    2020 side bag cable replaced

    I have a cable lubrication tool from Motion Pro. A bit messy, but it gets the job done.

    2020 RT Saddlebag Sticking

    As many have stated, yes there is an adjuster for the cable. The real problem may be that the cable is corroded. It doesn't look like it comes from the factory with any lubrication. I have taken one apart and cleaned the cable and lubricated it. It is worth the time and effort as a new latch...

    2020 side bag cable replaced

    I didn't have a new cable so I just took the old one apart, lubricated it and moved it back and forth until all the crud was gone. I don't think they actually lube the cable at the factory. I also made sure the lid linkage was cleaned and lubricated with a dry lubricant as it seemed a bit sticky.

    2020 side bag cable replaced

    Which means it can still rust. Look at all the SS grill lids around with surface rust.

    HCM filter replacement overdue - which panels need to come off?

    I am planning to change the HCM filter on our 2020 RTL. It is a little over due at 31K miles. I have the service manual but it doesn't show any illustration of what panels I need to remove. I am thinking it is just the panel next to the brake pedal. Has anyone done this maintenance on their own...
