• 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.

    Is it necessary to disconnect/purge the auto levelling system when fitting an a/mkt shock?

    No. When I installed mine I left all as is. I have the compression dampening control on mine too. The self levelling works just fine, the only issue is when I want to raise the rear while mobile and via the controls, it goes into fault mode because the air bag compressor is working against the...

    Just ordered a Wilbers 640 rear shock! :)

    You will not regret the choice Troop. I have Wilbers on all 3 corners and they are fantastic - great ride, much better handling, better antidive under brakes, and for me negated the need for a sway bar.

    Grease all over the back of my RTL, and I'm thinking, "Where from... ??"

    Thanks to all. Yes the more I look its way too much for a linkage or wheel bearing. The qty certainly hasnt increased on day 4 having observed it when we stopped for a break on the Hume Hwy on day 2. It is officially a problem trip, on top of the initial list: Garmin Zumo 595 LM GPS has...

    Grease all over the back of my RTL, and I'm thinking, "Where from... ??"

    Thanks Peter, I do suspect I have run over a dollop or two on the Snowy Mountains or Hume highway somewhere, and its in chunks on the places it has landed. It doesn't seem to have increased in any way so its either run out or it was a "pickup" on the way. As for the run of luck - I'm adopting...

    Grease all over the back of my RTL, and I'm thinking, "Where from... ??"

    My wife and I are on a 2 week trip and while at a pit stop yesterday, I noticed grease splattered on the rear of the top box, rear guard, and trailer. It seems to be a fair qty and I think its too much to be from something having failed on the RTL. The only places I can think of are the Swing...

    While trying to improve the water sealing of my top box, I dropped the top bush for the strut into that cavity under the seat where all things disappear. Does anyone have the dimensions?

    What is your experience with the INNOVV N1 Dashcam?

    I bought their TPMS kit for 3 wheelers. The phone app was terrible (I am an IT Contractor) and wasn't impressed with the tech support at all - I felt the owner of Innov was being given the run around by the App developers. I had been giving serious consideration to buying their cameras but...

    Anyone come across a Source for an Aftermarket Indicator BAU15S Socket to suit 2012-2019 RT's and RT622 Trailers?

    I have a troublesome Right indicator socket that intermittently stops working on my 2011 RT 622 trailer. There are several off the shelf items available, but something in me says BRP would not make it that simple to just use a standard BAU15S Socket. I am also assuming I have to buy a half...

    Contemplating buying a Spyder - any reliability, power, and buyer's remorse issues?

    I enjoy the brand and can attest that it is important to find the right people to service it. The 1st 12 months of ownership saw me almost sell mine (bought new) and cutting my losses due to the number of problems I was having. Tried a different dealership and after that day I took home a...

    Is a Weather-seal for 2011 RT622 Rear Hatch still available?

    In case you havent bought it already, the spyderpops one does not seal properly, it's too low a profile, and their aftersales support is non-existent. I'm looking at one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NL450WA/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_4?smid=A339EJ58RW9U9H&th=1...

    RT622 Trailer weather seal kit fm Spyderpops won't quite fit - what've I missed?

    How did this strip work out for you? How did this strip work out for you? I am away on a trip in some pretty poor weather and the trailer became the proverbial "water tanker". I am ready to throw the Spyderpops strip in the trash.

    HD Trike Lawsuit

    This is of interest. Given my RTL decided to "straighten handlebars" mid corner on a number of times I have felt BRP have made a mistake in the way Nanny responds in certain situations.

    Any experience Filling holes from dual taps in Ceramic Vanity Tops?

    Well the decision was made for us. The only place that could do the plugging for us was in another state, about 1300kms away and he cost was running into the thousands to get it shipped, plugged and recoated. We bit the bullet and bought new vanity tops for all bathrooms and saved a few...
