• 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.

    oil in air box BRP fix?

    After 2 years in production and the new RT's out, why do you think it's taking BRP so long to find a fix for the oil in the air box leak? If they can't come up with a fix, why don't they just tell the dealers to use some of the mods people out there are using for this fix? I'm no mechanic so...

    Those that have done the cannisterectomy....

    I also am only getting 22mpg. I contacted Carlo about this and was told this mpg, 22 in city is what I should be getting for my conditions(se5,stock) and nothing was wrong. He also recommend only 87 octane. I average this since I first purchased, 9/08,2300 miles. I just got the 2 updates done...

    O ring for oil change?

    Had my oil changed at the Dealer. Noticed that the only parts that was listed that they used was 1. oil filter $23.35 & 2. oil 4qt $53.68. total $77.03. Seems like they did not change the o ring. I have an se5. Does the o ring need to be replaced for each oil change. Did they forget something???
