• 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.

    transmission goes clunk...

    It got up to.. 48 degrees Tuesday so I went for a test run. Did a 50 mile lap. On the way out I went thru downtown Sequim. Leaving home the bike shifted smooth & quite. By the time I got to the center of town (4 miles) it was making a low noise in the first 3 shifts. I headed out on the...

    transmission goes clunk...

    Back home with trike back in the garage. Mixed feelings about the "fix" and with the current weather will be unable to test much for a while. Seems it still exists to a much lesser degree and only below 2500 rpm. This from only the ride home and very little "around town" driving. so need...

    Burning smell after ride

    Had that same..... smell on my 2014 RT-L until I replaced the cat with just a pipe. Smell went away. Figured it was the heat off the cat being so close to the belt that gave the smell.

    transmission goes clunk...

    Just returned..... the bike to the dealer service department. They called and said that BRP wanted them to run a few more tests on the gearbox position sensor. They still believe, as do I, that BRP will send them a new sensor and it will work just fine. For now, the bike is at the dealership...

    transmission goes clunk...

    No word..... from dealer or BRP yet. Can anyone tell me where the gear position sensor is located? I looked in the shop manual and online parts manual from BRP, but can not seem to locate where it goes or a part # for it. Therefore, I also do not know how long it should take to change it...

    Called dealer......... Talked with 2 local dealer service writers. One knew about the HCM re-initializing process. His words were "you are the first person to speak those words to me". According to him, the process takes about 1/2 hour where they re-introduce the latest software for your...

    Unbelievable brakes!!

    Trick Take a pair of needle nose pliers and put the points into the holes of the piston. Push and rotate clock wise at the same time. Continue until the piston is all the way back in the caliper. You are ready to install the new pads.

    Unbelievable brakes!!

    Hard Rider I would say that I am a very easy rider when it comes to the brakes. I live in a area that the posted speed limit never gets above 60 mph and most of the time it is 55 or less. That being said, I usually run around 58 mph. I always set up for the corners by using the transmission...
