• 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.

    NAPA Oil test results Shell Rotella T6 15W-40

    Looking at both of those UOA's it appears these things are a little hard on oil? Both samples fall right at the low side of viscosity despite being changed at a shorter than OE recommended interval? Wear rate per 1000 miles is also just above the 5ppm threshold. Could just be the shared oil...

    What Rear Tire Size is needed to correct the speedo?

    The 225/50R15 Kumho put our odometer right on and speedo 2mph high when compared with the GPS.

    What Front Shocks Recommendations for a 2020+ RT?

    What we experienced with our 2023 RT-L was the obvious body roll but combined with the poor ride quality over rougher back roads. I knew Baja Ron's bar was going to be a must, but the low spring OEM rate was also going to need to be dealt with. The rear damping was MUCH weaker than we desired...

    Does anyone know when/if BRP will or have started Canyon Production?

    Asked local dealer yesterday and they didn't even order a single unit? I had to actually explain to them what it was... Spoke with the dealer South of us where we purchased the RT last year... they ordered one each of an XT and a Redrock. They were due in Feb, but then delayed until March, and...

    2022 OEM RT S2S seat versus redone Russell Day Long seat.

    I have a Russel on my KTM 1290 and love it! Did 450 miles last Friday and never felt the need to stand up at all. Jay and the crew are awesome to deal with! Were lucky enough that they are 8 miles from our house, so we get ride in service. If the wife doesn't end up with a Canyon, we will...

    Just ordered a Wilbers 640 rear shock! :)

    That's what Elka told me too... I gave them probably too much info about the rider profile and loads, but they still missed the rear spring by a mile (possible 20-30%) and the fronts by a little bit (10%). Maybe if you could report back when you get it in hand, so we can compare notes and...

    Any idea what they are sending you for a spring with the shock?

    2019 RT brake pedal still travels too far with new front pads installed. How do I get it back to normal?

    Also keep in mind that changing the rear brake pads could very well make your pedal feel worse since you have introduced yet another set of multiple surfaces that will have to "wear in" to their happy place before the space is taken up. Imagine your rotors are worn out of parallel (concave...

    Has anybody found an A/mkt Air bag replacement?

    My preference is to spring the vehicle for the loads normally seen and then use the bag to increase spring rate/maintain ride frequency when a passenger or cargo is added. Elka missed our rates by a mile so I have to pull the shocks off and swap the springs out now. I haven't gotten a number...

    2019 RT brake pedal still travels too far with new front pads installed. How do I get it back to normal?

    Yes, but DOT 5.1 is compatible with DOT3/4 - it has a higher boiling point.

    2019 RT brake pedal still travels too far with new front pads installed. How do I get it back to normal?

    If the system wasn't open, I would guess that after the hardware/paint backing compresses and the pads wear into the concave rotor surface, things would be back to normal. I'd flush the brake system w/ DOT5.1 fluid regardless, as it is recommended every 2 years.

    Can anyone recommend a TPMS system other than FOBO?

    I use this unit on my Wife's Spyder and Have been using the 2 wheeled version on my Husky for about 6 years without any issues!

    A New Look - How about an Oil/Fuel thread? Fuels can reduce wear...

    Being a techy guy myself in the automotive/powersports business... I personally enjoy Lake's research and believe in what he says. I don't really care what the guy looks/sounds like... That said, most of these machines will live longer than we own them just putting the cheapest oil and fuel in...

    Retailers finally getting caught not posting product reviews below 4 stars!

    I have noticed a few sites that have disabled reviews like Cyclegear and Revzilla. Hard to make a decision on something like sizing without other buyer feedback.

    Share your experiences with Performance shocks for 2023 RT's?

    If you care to know your spring rate, you might be able to see the print on the coil through the side of the body work.

    What Communication devices do you use between rider/pillion & other riders in your group?

    I started with Pactalk Bold becuase it was waterproof, but upgraded to Edge when the wife started riding. No complaints overall except we could use a bit more range at times. I have been looking at possibly adding bluetooth UHF radios to the mix to stretch things out, but it's just 2 more...

    Share your experiences with Performance shocks for 2023 RT's?

    I would never have been interested in installing a heavier front spring on the OEM shock as the damping was already lacking and springs would just further exploit that weakness? Night and day difference in ride and control over the rough stuff after the Elka's were installed even though things...
