• 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.

    2013 RTL versus 2018 RT?

    I had a 2018 RTL for a few weeks while my '17 was in the shop. The self-adjusting suspension works exceptionally well either solo or two up or two up plus load of gear for cruising Didn't like the instrument cluster I imagine if you've been on a 990 motor you'll love the 1330 Other than these...

    How do you handle different tire pressure readings?

    I know how you feel. I had my digital gauge, tyre inflator gauge and TPMS all saying different readings. I quickly determined the brand of TPMS i bought wasn't accurate. My own personal preference is that both front tires must have the same pressure - it really annoys me when they are...

    Here's some New Kenda Tires!?!

    Are Kenda's good. Its all ab out perspective. So long as you don't have a problem with: Poor Grip Poor Handling Constant Vibration odd shaped out of round tyres then yes they are great. The Spyder Dealership put a Non Kenda tyre on for me at one of my services (its 500km round trip) I could...

    Google maps has failed me.

    We had the same thing happen back in 2018. We were in the Central West of the state on a loan RTL which didnt have a GPS and making our way out of the city we'd stayed at. Google guided us out of town to the bypass of the town and kept wanting us to go back. We were using my wifes iPhone - we...

    Help me decide on Directional vs Regular Tread Tires?

    Sorry guys - I had what we call here in Aus "a brain fart" I meant Assym tyres. Assymetrical tyre pattern which has a bias when it directs water. I have seen a few with Assym's on their rear and shudder at the thought.

    Help me decide on Directional vs Regular Tread Tires?

    I am assuming you are talking of fitting directional tyres to the front. The rear is not a good idea - remember your high-school physics.

    Australia - RT's - Has anyone used Xenon Bulbs in RT Low Beam

    I came across these while fumbling around in some old favourites and they look promising, though they aren't HID, they are LED and the post that holds the LED appears offset. https://www.stedi.com.au/project-hb3-led-projector-head-light-conversion-kit.html They are supposedly suited to...

    Australia - RT's - Has anyone used Xenon Bulbs in RT Low Beam

    I am on day two of my 75k service and spent some time talking to the parts guys about the low beams in the RTL. We discussed the issues with the low beams and LED's not solving all issues with the low beams. We got to talking about Xenon's Has anyone used Xenon bulbs in their RT's? Do you...

    Any other place to tap into 12 volt power for accessories?

    I have a '17 RTL and the lighter socket in the rear top box has two options in the main fuse box. Default is configured with power via Acessories, the other direct from Battery - is the same in the '22 by chance? There may also be a plug under the seat for the trailer harness. It has a 12V...

    Any before & after info on Elka suspension upgrades?

    When I ordered my Wilburs I needed to weigh myself and chief cook with gear on (the 2nd of which was a bit of delicate subject), what riding style (sport, touring, mixed), go lower or higher in ride height ( I took the 19mm lower ), how much time two up vs single, and do I tow a trailer, will I...

    Any before & after info on Elka suspension upgrades?

    Out of curiosity when you order your Ikon or Elka shocks, do they ask rider weights + riding style + preferred riding style + clearance you'd like?

    Any before & after info on Elka suspension upgrades?

    No matter what, you will see a much better experience with the Elka's over the OEM. I fitted Wilburs and only needed reverse out of my garage a few feet to see the difference. If they are anything like mine you'll get better handling better wet weather grip, some anti-dive in the front under...

    Where can I download a 2017 RT's GPS Manual?

    Is it the GPS unit you are referring to or the mount kit documentation? GPS - If you haven't already, create a garmin account and log in. You'll find an area to download the manual for the GPS. Cradle - I've had a look thru the '17 RTL Workshop manual and it keeps it a secret :( its shown...

    And that's why I don't trust manufacturers recommendations!

    I trust them - mine came with 3 years warranty and the amount of money that had to be spent by BRP on replacement bits during that time was money I didn't have to pay. I've got a '17 RTL - it's almost 3000km past the 75000 km service interval (I can't stay off the thing for 4 weeks while I wait...
