• 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.

    2012 RTS-SE5 engine shut down while riding, looking for possible causes - any ideas?

    The dealership could not replicate the issue, so I picked the bike up and rode it home. A few days later, I took it out and rode for about 35 miles and experienced the same drop in rpm’s and engine shut down. I waited about 10 minutes and tried to restart. This time I videoed the startup...
