• 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.

    Bluetooth Dongle Questions

    By CB, do you mean the BRP CB? I have the BRP CB and it was my understanding that the BRP Bluetooth Dongle will not work. The dongle connects to the same connector that the CB uses. This means it's one or the other, not both. If I'm wrong (wouldn't be the first time...or the last), someone...

    590 Garmin

    Lost Connection I tried them. While it was nice to see the pressure, I kept getting "lost connection" messages during the ride. It happened so often that it became annoying...very annoying. I tried new batteries, I tried each sensor on the different tires, and I would still get the error...

    GoPro Hero Mounting on the RT Limited

    I'm glad you liked the my post. There are a couple of options for the tether. One is to loop around the holes in the windshield support. Another is to bring the tether into the frunk. I am no longer using my GoPro as my front camera. My Garmin Virb XE camera is mounted in the same manner using...

    Go Pro Cameras

    Where and how do you mount them? I know there are those who feel that the helmet is the best place. I agree that there are advantages but for me, the head movement during playback made me look away. I have tried various mounting locations and types. In the end, I use the adhesive mounts that...

    All the 2016 Spyder Lineup info posted here!

    Curious I noticed that the RT Limited comes with the "older" Zumo 660 instead of the 590. I swapped by 660 with the 590 on my 2014 RTL. I much prefer the 590. Curious why BRP went back to the 660.

    Shorter rider input needed.

    At 5' 4", I am also vertically challenged (I'm also horizontally enhanced thanks to my love of food). I have the Tri-Axis bars and they're great. Our seat is a Russell Day Long - http://www.day-long.com/ with their backrest option (it is adjustable). I love the Russell Day Long. I'm fortunate...

    Is this Goodbye for my GoPro Hero?

    An UPDATE to my thread I've had the Garmin VIRB XE for almost a month and I thought I would post an update. I am really pleased with the VIRB XE and the data the camera captures. The image quality is much better when you view the MP4 file as opposed to watching it on YouTube. It looks great on...

    Garmin Zumo 590 and TPMS on a new 2015 RT Limited SE6

    Speaking from experience... I recently swapped our Zumo 660 to the Zumo 590 on our 2014 RT Limited. I bought a 3-pack of the Garmin TPM sensors from gpscity. Installation was easy - select the number of tires, pair the sensor to the matching tire number as displayed in the Zumo screen, set the...

    Is this Goodbye for my GoPro Hero?

    The Garmin VIRB Remote Control will do that AND can control multiple cameras (I think up to 6?). https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/shop-by-accessories/remotes/virb-remote-control/prod146077.html

    Is this Goodbye for my GoPro Hero?

    YouTube defaults to 480p on playback but you can adjust the resolution. I have the VIO POV HD. Virb Edit allows you to select any of the recorded data for your video. If you don't want the speed data, you simply delete it or don't insert that gauge. The software is free and I installed it...

    Is this Goodbye for my GoPro Hero?

    I previously posted about how I mounted my GoPro Hero 3+ Black on our 2014 RT Limited (link below). Having the camera mounted to the bike made it easy for me to “bike power” the camera during extended rides. Yes, I know there some riders who prefer a helmet mounted camera. And that’s fine. To...

    Zumo 590 Vehicle Icon

    Kinda Sorta Figured it out I converted the srf file into a png file and then back to a srf file. The icon appeared in 3D map view. Yay. But in 2D the icon was garbage. I opened the png file and found garbage in the second row. At least I found the problem. Dave

    Zumo 590 Vehicle Icon

    Ooops. I agree that my original post was ambiguous. I can select the Spyder icon (I can see the RT) and SAVE it but when I return to the map screen, it's not there - just the default triangle icon.
