• 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.

    2020 RT - front seat won't stay raised - any solutions?

    I installed a spring over my OEM strut. On the strut is a groove that the spring will snap into locking in place. Remove the top 8mm screw on the strut an pull it away from the mounting stud. Slip the spring over the strut until it goes into the grove. Reattach the strut making sure to keep the...

    2020 RT starting scare

    Did an oil and filter change on my 2020 RT at 54,000 miles. Eveyting going well, then checked the air filter only to have the internal lock ring come off with the filter. I have found the best way to get that to lock onto the flexible tube behind it is to remove the air filter housing and...

    My Loose mirror covers fix! 2021 RT

    I had to remove the mirrors for doing the spark plug change on my wife's 2021 RT. Before installing the mirror covers I took a small flat blade screwdriver and sliding it between the clip where the spring clip that connects the cover to the body I was able to rotate the screwdriver blade...

    Discovery on saddle bag latch - it's got a protective cover!

    I am in the process of doing the 28,000 mile service on my wife's 2021 sea to sky and since I have had issues with the latch cables on my 2020 RT I decided to be proactive and lubricate her cables. What I found was a protective cover on the back side of the release handle. It covers the handle...

    Thoughts on Pedal Commander vs Pedal Box - & where's yours mounted?

    I considered both before choosing the pedal box. I like the fact that it is water resistant so I could mount it on the handle bars allowing instant adjustment. We used that yesterday when we left the hotel and it was 36° out. The Spyder kept killing until I took it off the sport + mode. Once it...

    Zumo XT ordered - what sunshade do you use for it?

    I agree with all who say it's not needed. We have one on each of our RT's and never needed a sun shade.

    2020+ SEAT Strut issues - a different solution!

    There is a groove in the strut body that the spring snaps into. As you say remove the top screw and slide the spring down until it locks into place.

    2020+ SEAT Strut issues - a different solution!

    The driver seat strut weakens over time and on my 2020 would not stay up making filling the gas tank harder. I ordered a different strut from McMaster Carr that is stronger. Works well except the strut being longer the seat arm catches the side body plastic. Doesn't hurt anything, but I don't...

    Gas strut for trunk on the RT

    Gas strut for trunk on the RT

    For all those who suggested adding a second strut to the trunk be aware that on the 2020 and newer trunks the strut is in a molded cavity on the right side. there is no cavity on the left side so it's not possible to add a second strut. What I did on my 2020 and wife's 2021 was add a helper...

    2020 side bag cable replaced

    I know that some grades are, but those grades have a lower attraction than standard steel. My magnet stuck to the cable very strongly. It maybe some type of SS, but it would not be very corrosion resistant.

    That's what I used. I just used small spray shots to keep the mess down.

    2020 side bag cable replaced

    Received my replacement cable today. P/N 708003379 I had heard rumors that BRP had changed to an ss cable due to the rusting issue. Since the dealer had to order the cable from BRP I know it's the latest version, so I took a magnet to test if it is ss. Its not. I lubed the cable up until it ran...

    Brake fluid compatibility - can I mix OEM with Prestone DOT 4 synthetic?

    I like the harbor freight one as it doesn't require the brake pedal to be depressed while bleeding.

    Brake fluid compatibility - can I mix OEM with Prestone DOT 4 synthetic?

    It doesn't when new. It turns that color with contamination. I was surprised that my 2 year old fluid was the same color as the 1 year old. I was expecting it to be darker. When I did our 2014 RT after 3 years it was black.
