• 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.

    Brake Squeak

    forget the CRC, high temp silicone will last much longer without having to re-apply. been there done that. Just get things good an clean, an don't over apply.

    Brake Squeak

    You might try this trick, remove the pads, clean up the back side an apply a thin coat of silicone allow to set up for twenty minutes an reassemble. This put a barrier between the piston and brake pad which helps to eleminate the tranfer of vibrations. Made all the difference on my wife 08 rs...

    F i r e !

    wyliec, This is the question that I keep asking, ignition piont was deffinantly on the bottom edge of the foam on the inside of the lower side panel. But this foam dosen't just flash to flame in its normal state, but after time is it changing charateristics in some way that allow a earlier or...

    F i r e !

    OK fire joe, I don't doubt for a minute that there have been fires attributed to the canisters. but seeing the origin of my wifes fire, makes me wonder if it isn't too easy to just blame the canister, when an if the fire starts directly below the canister an the resulting damage is sever enough...

    F i r e !

    WaltH, you are so wrong about the fires on the 08's. My wifes just caught fire last weekend, you can read my post on shoptalk titaled" Fire in the hole". This machine had the Pipes wrapped, cannister removed. What caught fire was the foam under the foil attached to the lower side panel. When I...

    F i r e !

    So thats 2 fires in a week, mike I'm really going to be curious as to the findings on this one cause it sounds as if it too was put out early. The wife now travels with a extinguisher, but with the bottom splash pan removed,an the foil-foam shield gone, it's just heat now !!. Hope you can stay...

    RS-S SE5 with Slipping Transmission

    I guess I'll have to side with warlock, for I too have felt like I was being chastized over my methods an use of products. I also tried to use BRP oils[blend], same exact results. and now after 10K, the wifes 08 rs se5, has been oil useage free, shifts with authority, all with the dreaded mobil...

    carry a pistol?

    Ilove agood post about handguns that can stay unlocked, lets hope it last awhile. Myself, have always opposed a CCW, permits to protect myself don't need that if you open carry. In Durango, I only had one person ask me about my side arm, other than a few looks, as always it's no big deal...

    carry a pistol?

    Wow, in this day an age, forgive me but IMHO, those who are unarmed are sheeple. Been riding for 50+ years the last 15 always armed, open carry nothing to hide, proud to be American, it's one of my flags. I have never been questioned by L.O.

    FIRE IN THE HOLE

    shelbydave, the foams gone,if there's warpage I'll replace the side panel and find another product to shield the heat away. But for now, with the bottom splash panel also removed, I'm hopeing for a little extra air circulation to aid in the cooling. Inspection sounds good, but not taking the...

    FIRE IN THE HOLE

    Just a up-date, Filled reports with the nhtsa, an brp. Our dealer was shocked by the news, he knows that I had removed the canister, an the fact that a fire had started down in that general area, he was going to call acouple other 08 owners, so he could look for himself if there are other...

    FIRE IN THE HOLE

    OK, now it time to put my jokeing aside. I do not for a moment take my finding trivial or unimportant. so before the usual naysayers get started,save your breath. I to have watched the vidios of the burning spyder, an if I would have stood by and watched for thirty seconds, then I too would...

    FIRE IN THE HOLE

    Jerbear thanks that a good sort of info will save. On this deal I;m not returning any heat barrier, since I removed the bottom splash pan completly, I think the extra air circulation will make a difference. So the photos I took didn't show up on the computer, an I'm already finished with the...

    FIRE IN THE HOLE

    Thanks Josh,but not much to take care of. Remove all the remaining foam an foil, trim away the damaged plastic, wash off the soot an smoke residue, put it back together. I will add a small extingusher to the saddle bags LOL. On a side note, there will no longer be "ANY" foil- foam product...
