• 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.

    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...

    Anyone try to add these lights?

    If you were in the same country as me (Australia) I'd swap you. Here, they are our headlights and are very poor. The OEM ones seem to be mostly related to the lense/reflector design.

    Is there an LED Headlight without fan extn that just fits in?

    This was their wesbite https://www.jwspeaker.com/ I found out the H4 and H7 conversion kits aren't sold in the US due to local regs and dont list them when you search (I called the Australian importer for JW Speaker). The Aus importer said you can buy from an Aus reseller if they'll ship to...

    Is there an LED Headlight without fan extn that just fits in?

    Try JW Speaker - they come with the Driver and Canbus adapter built into the housing - they fit without any mods in my '17RTL if they take the same bulb

    Dynamic Driving Light Kit - Hooking to Hi Beams Question - 2019 RTL

    Thanks Peter, I have tested the reversing lights in the trailer and they work, and I've wired the circuit to my bypass relay. I just wasn't sure where to tap the reversing light circuit to get the signal.

    Dynamic Driving Light Kit - Hooking to Hi Beams Question - 2019 RTL

    This is what I am aware of. Some systems monitor the voltage/current to determine if there is a fault. This has existed in servers and some Pc's since the 90'S where they sense the speed, voltage and current draw so that if there is any variation they report a fault. I have also wondered if...

    Dynamic Driving Light Kit - Hooking to Hi Beams Question - 2019 RTL

    Westerns at Penrith. I saw merit in what he was saying. There was also an ex Fraser's mechanic living here in town with a '14RT - he also felt the canbus would have an issue. Then an Auto Electrician I spoke to at a function about using different relays felt I would invite problems and...

    Dynamic Driving Light Kit - Hooking to Hi Beams Question - 2019 RTL

    That's correct, I can switch them on or off independant of Hi/Lo mode. As mentioned its not what I wanted but the dealership stated that many issues arise when the lighting circuit is tapped for a signal for a relay. I provided a solid state relay instead of a mechanical one and they still...

    Do I really need a GPS?

    Hi Pete, No directions being given. We knew we'd have no phone signal - not even GPRS. We'd been using our phones to travel to get to some of the properties we'd frequented years ago. We found at one point none of us had GPS functionality. We'd left the Pilliga area and took some back roads...

    Dynamic Driving Light Kit - Hooking to Hi Beams Question - 2019 RTL

    I am in Australia. This is interesting. The Can-Am dealership where I have mine serviced installed the electrics for my extra lights. They installed the switch I provided (A waterproof Can-Am clone I bought/installed myself). They chose to not connect to the lighting circuit at all - mine...

    Do I really need a GPS?

    Hi Pete, That's interesting about the 3 antennas? A group of us were in the country near Wee Waa about 4 months ago with a mix of Androids and iPhones. None of us had coverage. I agree with other comments, I think its only a matter of time before GPS units are redundant. I've often wished...

    Do I really need a GPS?

    I'm not sure how remote you travel, here in Australia once you leave the areas with Phone coverage not all the smartphones are able to use their location services. Some rely on multiple Cell towers to transmit their location and thus allowing the phone to calculate its location. I've only...

    Sprocket Recall - What's Wrong With BRP's Logistics?

    I checked earlier this week with our largest dealership, and was told March April maybe. This is one thing that really tests my loyalty to the brand. They've known about it for quite a few years now so there is no excuse. If BRP gave "two forks" about their customers they'd be onto this asap.
