• 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.

    Trying to decide if I want to start doing my own oil changes - what should I budget?

    A 36 mm socket can double duty for the rear axle. Watch what quality you get for 167 FT LBS of torque on that sucker - you have listed a 3/8 drive. I would get 1/2 drive 6-sided hex for tough duty. Then you could start asking us about rear tire changes!!! :yes: :yes: :clap:

    Trying to decide if I want to start doing my own oil changes - what should I budget?

    biggee... for NOT stripping out your drain plugs. They are NOT perpendicular to floor. Push the T45 or 6mm hex fully into recess of fitting on plug. You will see that they follow the case angle, not WHAT YOU THINK should be perpendicular to floor.

    Installing Trailer hitch - avoiding obstruction in axle housing?

    I don't have a hitch, but I am a machinist. I wouldn't have the axle BOLT reduced to a smaller size. That could mean a less holding or torquing problem. What has been proven, is that the axle hole has been made bigger by BRP without cause for failure. So in this case, the axle might be case...

    Where is the Height sensor arm located?

    You didn't mention what model your talking about. Have to lay down on floor and look at swingarm. The linkage bolts up to swing arm. That is first place to look at, report back and we go from there for next problem to fix

    Will my 2024 F3T need a belt vibration damper?

    Just to make sure you are getting an accurate reading, the kricket gauge should be on TOP side or smooth side; in the middle of the belt related to the pulleys; in line with the belt; and in the middle of its width. Reading it this way, with the wheel on the ground, I have mine as well as with...

    998cc Did Bad fuel cause additional problems? Ideas?

    I'll give a brief answer, I don't know all specifics. But you CAN use 87 octane. 91 or 93 is recommended but not required. Possible source of running bad are the 2 short MAP 3mm hoses. Got micro cracks in them. Possible denergated plug wires
