• 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.

    Thanks jcthorne, I'll let BRP/dealer work out when these faults occurred. One of the first maintenance jobs I did not long after I purchased the bike new some 14 months ago was smear a little electrical grease on the fuse connections & on the battery terminals & tighten them. Have not looked at...

    Took bike to dealer today & witnessed with the tech via BUDS the fault codes. There are quite a few ranging from VCM voltage failure/voltage spike, DPS invalid or missing vehicle speed, ECM gear position sensor angle, & more. I asked if all these faults occurred all at once & caused the lock up...

    With what happened at the time, I honestly didn't look to see if there was a code. A bit further on from the l/up, I did look, & no code. .Treva

    I elected to lead knowing full well there will be slow riders. Every one has their pace. That situation does not bother me one iota. Riding 2up with ''hairpin curves'' when you know what you are doing, is something that puts me in my comfort zone....Treva.

    Couldn't agree more Mike. Like I said before, I know the road very well & with my wife on board I would never put her/us in a dangerous situation. Yes, I ride faster than the average person, time & place permitting, but one can do that when you know how. If the dealer doesn't find the cause of...

    Yes AY4B I have almost hit the park switch when I first rode my F3-S. Quickly trained my thumb to reach as far left as possible so not to thumb the switch. Our RT is a manual & the park switch is below the steering. No chance of hitting it accidentally.

    Hello IdahoMtnSpyder, No I have not flushed the braking system. The bike is booked in tomorrow 5/2/19 & I will ask Your question. They may have for some reason flushed the system prior delivery. Food for thought. Thanks..Treva.

    Thanks for all of the replies. I've been mulling it over for a couple of days & one thing i do know the passenger detection switch is very sensitive. I'm pretty sure it initiated the lock up. I'm ringing the dealer today. I'll let you know what/if they find. Thanks again...Treva

    Wife [pillion] & myself went on our first club ride last saturday on our 2017 RT. After some debate the usual leader didn't want to, so I elected to lead. Quite a slow bunch of riders [although heaps of corners ]& we were slowing to snail pace a lot waiting for them to catch up. Most of the...

    Few Q's about servicing

    I don't know about the USA dealers regarding warranty if you service yourself, but here in OZ I do all my own servicing then take it to the dealer with oil/filter/o-rings receipts. I ask them to check the oil so they know it's been changed. Also tell them not to touch the belt alignment/tension...

    Helmet Life. What should we expect?

    Quite a number of helmet manufacturers now have a 5 year warranty, so should last beyond that period if carefully looked after.

    Need help with cat-delete install on F3-S

    Mikearmentano, Yes, the pipe which connects to the cat-delete via the 3 springs. If you follow that pipe towards the engine you will find the clamp & bolt, which has a 13mm socket head. This clamp/bolt is just below the metal heat shield covering the header pipes/exhaust pipe connection [ the 3...
