• 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.

    Want To Eliminate Oil In My Air Filter Box

    Hey Sarge, when changing the oil Friday, I noticed a film of dirty oil all over the rear shock, frame area, etc.. When I got the bike a couple of weeks ago, it had dirty oil that was at least 1/2 quart over full. I was reading the thread above, could I have a similar situation? The level now is...

    Thanks Drew....it sounds like I need to be getting used to its "personality"! BTW a Ducati owner (75 yrs old) I met wants to make the change! Art

    One week update.......... It's been a week of riding the RSS. Everybody wants to know more about it. Lots of fun, getting used to the handling. Weight shifting (leaning) is far less than riding the sidecar outfit. A couple of questions: Neutral is hard to find, especially when hot. It seems...

    I can't help myself

    I just got on this forum this month. I find it's one of the best. A lot of issues and different opinions are presented, but I'll bet most members would ride with anyone on here. Everyone has their own perspective. There are lots of caring people here........... Art

    Thanks Scotty! I used the e-air gauge supplied with the tool kit and set the front tires to 15.0 psi. My old mech gauge showed 17psi. Riding two up and taking a left at a light, I noticed the right tire flattening out. Will the 20psi throw off the VSS? I guess it monitors yaw (lean) and...

    Thanks FaranH! Yeah, the the last two bikes I had, Intruder 1400, V-Star 650, both came with windshields. I took them off right away as I like the "coolness" without them. I ordered a used RSS windshield from eBay to try cutting it down an inch at a time to see what works best. I'll post how it...

    Thanks Drew! It's been a while since I read up on it, but I remember that the low number (20)indicates the equivelent viscosity of 20w at 0 dg. F, the high number (50) is the same as 50w at 212 deg F (Or something like that!). Anyway, I feel the same that clean oil was a better choice, even if a...

    Thanks Mike! The correct BRP oil and filter kit will be here Monday. The oil that was in it smelled like gasoline and was pitch back......I wanted it out ASAP! The clutch does release better, but still gets grabby occasionally. The plates may be burnt......Art

    Thanks Greatrides! Quick question: I noticed at highway speeds 50-70 mph, the wind over the windshield hits me right at my face. Do you have a similar problem? I wear an open face helmet, full face is too hot in the warmer weather especially in the heavy traffic here.............Art

    Thanks Bob Naquin! The pads look OK, but a more thorough inspection is necessary. I'll be sure and ask here about any electrical mods. The Can-Am oil change kit will be in next week. I did suction out the oil tank and put in semi 20w-50 I had for my Suzuki (wet clutch rated). It was NOT SM...

    Hey Billrob, thanks for the congrats! Yes it DOES handle differently but in a good way. The sidecar was a real challenge, right turns were the ones that got your attention. Accellerating and decellerating also caused a pull to the right or left. It was fun at the beginning then it was just a...
