• 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.

    Yes, P0551 & PO552> Check DPS 2009 GS SE5

    2011 RT, I replaced my own DPS, $1200 for the unit. The only special tool you will need is a special non magnetic socket to remove the steering angle sensor. You will still have to reset the steering parameters on Buds when finished.

    Whats wrong - engine not running well then kicking in OK, rinse, & repeat! Ideas?

    I agree, had the same symptons on my 2011 RT, replaced plugs and plug wires and fixed the problem. These things produce so much heat under all the tupperware that causes all rubber products to dererioate faster than on a convential bike.

    Tire Balancing

    I Just installed two Vredestine Quatrac 5 on my 2011 RT without balancing but did install 7 oz. of Amerseal tire sealant in each tire. I've only had it up to about 75MPH but it was real smooth. Amerseal is water soluble so does not create the mess like some others.
