• 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.

    Sad day.

    I'd give Lamont (Lamonster, the site owner) a call and inquire with him. He's in Missouri, not too far from you. He should be able to help with either physical assistance or just guidance. He a great guy and super knowledgeable. As to the 'ol eyeball method of frame checking. Yeah, no. As...

    Sad day.

    I agree with several of the expressed opinions that this accident doesn't really appear to be enough to bend the frame. It could have, mind you, but I'm skeptical. I also agree about another opinion before it junked since you're so attached to it. It could just be a case of improper repair...

    Sad day.

    If taken as read that estimate doesn't even make sense to me.

    Since the engine was originally used in the Aprilia line up, have you expanded your search parameters? I don't know about UTV's or any other usage. Just a thought.

    2012 RT Limited wont start after replacing battery U0300 Code

    It was a SUGGESTION to read the threads for a POSSIBLE insight into the problem. Having never had either problem I was spitballing for a POSSIBLE solution.

    They're a great ride. I sometimes miss my old 08 with the twin engine. Anyway, make doubly sure you read up on the heat issues, specifically the boiling gas. Fixes are fairly easy to do and IMO a must for all older bikes.

    Communication

    Sena. ;) I did the wired walkie talkie thing many years ago and it was good for the time, but the new wireless tech is way better. However, CB is something I've never warmed up to and didn't do so if you're wanting to stay in the CB range someone else might have specific knowledge.

    Is Changing the rear sprocket possible?

    I too would doubt it. Other people have changed the rear sprocket sizes between the F3 size and the RT size without any reports of nanny trouble.

    2021 RT Ltd - any easy way of removing the back plastic mirror cover?

    It's semi easy. You take a plastic "bone" or body panel removal tool or other flat plastic piece/tool. Insert it into the gap at the outer edge of the mirror and carefully pry it apart. There is one of the Can Am metal clips that hold it together at that point. That one separates very...

    Just bought a 2012 RT-S and major oil leak is occurring.

    To Andy: are you sure you got EVERYTHING clean and oil free? Once the airbox is full of oil it can go EVERYWHERE and fool you into thinking you didn't get it or it's leaking elsewhere. I'll echo everything said by Ron and add to make sure you replace the air filter as well as COMPLETELY...

    New QUIET pulley

    I have to wonder if the updated pulley is more about the "red dust" issue and less about the noise. Maybe BRP is just talking about noise to distract from the other more serious issue??? :read:

    Federal 595 EVO vs FORMOZA AZ01

    Before you buy a tire on eBay make sure of the date of manufacture. Years ago I bought tires on eBay that were supposed to be new current stock. When they arrived I check the date codes and found they were 12 years old (and used to boot). I got my money back, but had to pay to have the...

    Review: 2020 RT side panel plastic rivet find (Joe I'm talking to you ;-)

    Ah, but they did "reinvent the wheel" with their new design. The older design body panels were clearly better in terms of build quality. The old BRP push pins/plastic rivet were superior to these particular ones. In redesigning the 2020 RT models, they clearly had an eye toward economy in...
